Soul
Messengers and Son Of Ran Lyrics

Like a sound you hear
Similar to an audible signal that captures your attention

That lingers in your ear
Maintaining its presence in your thoughts and memory

You can't forget
Difficult to erase or ignore from your consciousness

From sunrise to sunset
Through the entirety of the day, without pause or interruption

It's all in the air
A pervasive atmosphere or environment that surrounds and affects everything

You hear it everywhere
Ubiquitous and inescapable, with auditory stimuli present in all spaces

No matter what you do
Regardless of actions or behaviors, the sensory experience persists

It's gonna get a hold on you
An influence or effect that takes control or commands attention

California soul
Referencing the intangible essence or character of the State and its inhabitants

They say the sun
A popular belief or superstition concerning daily events

Comes up every morning
Representative of a cyclical, habitual pattern in nature

And if you listen carefully
Attentiveness to auditory details enhances the experience

The winds that ride
The movement of air currents that travel across the landscape

On the high tide
Concentrated near the shoreline and affected by the lunar cycle

Whistle a melody
A musical or harmonic collective sound produced by the natural elements

So the people started to sing
The common populace began to produce a vocal response to the environmental stimuli

And that's how the
A causal event, a behavioral reaction to sensory input

Surf gave birth untold to
A metaphorical personification of the ocean waves producing a creative outcome

California soul
A unique, creative output that's representative of the California spirit

When you hear the beat
In response to audible rhythms or percussion sounds

You wanna pat your feet
A physical manifestation of musical enjoyment, often manifested as foot tapping

And you've gotta move cause
A psychological imperative that requires movement to satisfy the internal stimuli

It's really such a groove
The musical experience is funk or soul-inspired, with a particular style and tempo

Puts a brand new kind of
This music is a unique, innovative style that has not been experienced before

Thinking in your mind
A psychological effect that encourages creative or novel ideas

And you can't go wrong
An attitude of positivity or success in response to the musical experience

'Cause you're happy all day long
The emotional effect of increased happiness and contentment over an extended period

They had the melody and the beat
The musical components necessary for an experience of this nature

But it still didn't seem complete
Despite initial success, there was a desire to improve or enhance the experience

Until they saw two lovers kissing
A romantic gesture that was perceived as a missing element to the overall experience

They knew just what was missing
A discovery of what the musical experience lacked and how to rectify it

So happy they were
A satisfaction that surpassed expectations and desires

Rocking and reeling
A tactile response to the rhythmic beats and visceral experience of the music

Because they added
The lovers' romantic moment elevated the experience to a new level

That loving feeling
A romantic sensation that enhanced the emotional and physical experience of the music

To California soul
The unique musical output of the region incorporated this new romantic element, elevating it to a new level of creativity

Now if they move you
The desired effect of the music is to evoke an emotional or physical response

Will it move you
The question is raised about the music's ability to evoke a response, implying its potential quality or success

It can groove, you, baby
The emphasis is on the funky, musical style that can inherently produce a groove or visceral response

California soul
The unrivaled, unique musical output of the California region

California soul, yeah
A vocal expression of enthusiasm and agreement regarding the California soul musical output

California soul
Reiteration of the musical style and creative output that embodies the California spirit

Satisfaction, darling
An expression of contentment and fulfillment, a desirable state of being that corresponds with the musical experience
