The Time Has Come
Davi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She has come like a Ghost of silence and song,
She has come from a distant and strange world,
She has come with her heart empty of hope.
She was like a cloud, without destination,
She had the sadness of goodbye.
My lonely step followed her through the roads
cnd one day my fatigue captivated her...
She was a gentle shadow
She fell asleep in my arms.
Together, like blind children
We learned the secrets of love.
She, flourished under the moon.
She was reborn for my desire.
Together, without anguish, without fault,
Without past, night to night,
We learned to dream.
She lives in my soul.
cnd she is what I eternally dream
cs a woman and song.

DAVI is very good. I like that they signed him :). More underground talent deserves a recognition.

When you hear the full version of The Bay 6 with the vocal part at the start it seems so much better than what you hear on the promo vid

One of the best tunes off 05 imo
vinnie97
Quality groove fo' sure. Enjoying this track more than most of what's on James Grant's sampler (Dusky's "Mr. Man" being the primary exception).
Stardust7007
This tune takes a hold of you and doesn't let go. I seriously dream about this tune! I agree with everyone else... it is one of the best from the compilation.
vinnie97
I remember enjoying the groove in that one, yes. I am waiting to listen again after they unleash said samples on Youtube. ;) Less chance for burnout that way if I take them in a piecemeal fashion.
Wonder&Wander
After 5 years we'll praise these two DAVI track as much as we do for Jamie Matrix's tracks on 02.
