Gourmet De Funk
Mousse T. Lyrics

Crude, yet bashful, he searched
He was inexperienced, but open-minded, and he searched for inspiration

Deeper, and deeper, and deeper
He kept digging and exploring

For that one sound to fit this monocyte mosaic
He wanted to find the perfect sound to add to his creation

Oh, this works
He found what he was looking for

As an ancient drum pounds deliberately
He hears a rhythm that evokes the beating of every human heart in history

Reminding me of every heart that ever beat, in every man
The drum makes him feel connected to humanity and its shared experiences

Eyes closed, he's lost, tangled in a collage
He's completely absorbed in the creative process, lost in a mix of sounds and ideas

His long and slender Italian shoes, tapped in timely acknowledgement
His body responds to the music with a natural, unconscious movement

Of what can only be described as, "Groovy bliss"
He experiences a feeling of pure joy and satisfaction

Ah, groovy Gourmet
He's in the zone, fully enjoying the music he's making

Listening carefully now
He's paying close attention, trying to capture the essence of the music

Brown eyes gleaming analytically into the distance
He's analyzing the sounds, trying to understand their structure and meaning

A love affair
He feels deeply connected to the music, as if he's in a romantic partnership with it

Man in music, in music
He sees himself as a part of the music, and vice versa

When we first met, man
He's reminiscing about his first encounter with this type of music

There was no silence
The music filled every corner of his being, leaving no room for silence

I don't think there's been silence ever since
He's been constantly surrounded by music ever since that first encounter

Remember when we spent time with our aboriginal cousins
He's recalling a time when he was exposed to the traditional music of indigenous people

What did they call it again?
He can't remember the exact name of the instrument that was played

A didgeridoo? Didgeridoo
He finally remembers the name of the instrument

And when we comforted our African brothers from the cry of slavery
He's referring to a time when music was used to soothe the pain and suffering of enslaved people

With a spiritual melody
He's referring to the use of spiritual music to lift the spirits of those in bondage

A change is gonna come
He's quoting a famous song that talks about hope for a better future

And every celebration ever seen, ever heard
He's acknowledging the power of music to bring people together in joyous celebration

The smell of salted tropical herbs film the air
He's describing the sensory experience of being in a kitchen, preparing food

Enough to make my mouth, eyes and ears water
The flavors and aromas are so intense that they provoke a physical response in him

Add what you like
He's encouraging the listener to be creative and experiment with different flavors

And what would you like? Yeah
He's asking the listener what they would like to add to the mix

Just make sure to arrange your composition intuitively, my friend
He's advising the listener to use their intuition when creating something new, rather than following strict rules

For as long as this day allows freedom of expression
He's reminding us to enjoy the moment and take advantage of the opportunity to express ourselves freely

We shall cook
He's inviting the listener to join him in creating something wonderful

Said I believe
He's making a declaration of faith, possibly in the power of music or creativity

Sin come out
He's exhorting listeners to let go of their negative impulses or behaviors

Say hi there
He's urging people to be friendly and reach out to one another
