In 2005 the duo transformed Jackie Moore's 1979 #1 Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play track "This Time Baby" and Tina Turner's 2000 hit "When The Heartache Is Over" into an international club smash as "Love On My Mind".
The song, which sampled the Moore track, but whose lyrics "I've Got Love On My Mind, Ain’t no use in me wastin’ time..."(The opening lyrics on the Moore single) and "When The Heartache Is Over, I Know I Won't Be Missing You" (The chorus from Turner's tune) was sung repeatedy by British singer Amanda Wilson, reached the top 10 of both the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play and Dance Top 40 charts (where it reached #2 on the latter) in the United States.
They were also the remixers on Faith Evans 2005 #1 Hot Dance Music/Club Play and #4 Dance Top 40 hit "Mesmerized".
The act's follow-up, "Watchin'", also with Amanda Wilson, was released in the United States in 2006. Freemasons released their third single "Rain Down Love" in early 2007 which features Siedah Garret as the lead vocalist.
The duo have also had huge plaudits for their remixes of Beyonce's Deja Vu, Ring The Alarm, Beautiful Liar and Greenlight.
Officially released 2-disc album "Shakedown" on december 4th, 2006
In addition, they have since remixed Kelly Rowland's 'Work' and released a remix of The Alanis Morisette track Uninvited which featured in the film City of Angels; in December 2007 with Bailey Tzuke, which have both been UK Top 10 Hit Singles
"Unmixed" Is the latest album from the band released on 29 October 2007. The album differs from the first as tracks are not mixed but instead are full length.
When You Touch Me
Freemasons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First you stay then you go
If I'm kicking you out
Then it's time you should know
Oh baby
I'm so sick and tired of sitting talking to you
Yeah that's right
But baby when you touch me on my body
I love every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
But baby when you touch me on my body
I love every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Baby, yeah that's right
Baby, yeah that's right
I despise that you know
I'm too weak to say no
I can scream, I can shout
But you still got a hold
Oh baby
My friend are mystified about what I see in you
When you got that right
But they don't know why I put up with all that you do
Oh 'cause you love me right
Am I an addict only hanging out for your touch?
Oh oh oh oh
Well I should go, but maybe I could see you just once
Baby one more time, oh yeah
Cause baby when you touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Cause baby when you touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Oh baby, I could see you just one more time
Baby, yeah that's right
Oh, It's the way that you love me
Baby, yeah that's right
I know, you're never gonna be ready baby?
Baby, yeah that's right
Talk to me baby, oh, you know I, You know what I want
Come on just touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Cause baby when you touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Baby, yeah that's right
Baby, yeah that's right
The song "When You Touch Me" by Freemasons seems to be about a love that is both addictive and toxic. The singer is tired of the relationship and wants to end it, citing that the other person never tells them anything about their life. However, the person's touch has a powerful effect on the singer, bringing back feeling that they thought they had lost. Despite recognizing the negative aspects of the relationship, the singer is still drawn to it and unable to let go.
The lyrics suggest that there may be some kind of power dynamic at play in the relationship, with the singer feeling powerless to resist the other person's touch. The line "I can scream, I can shout, but you still got a hold" hints at this, as does the line "Am I an addict only hanging out for your touch?" The lyrics also touch on the theme of addiction, with the singer acknowledging that they may be addicted to the other person's touch.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the power of physical touch and suggesting that it is the driving force behind the relationship. The use of the phrase "baby, yeah that's right" is both playful and confrontational, adding to the tension in the song.
Overall, "When You Touch Me" is a complex song about a complicated relationship, exploring themes of power, addiction, and the intense physical nature of love.
