The three time 2008 Bell Pearl of Africa Music Award winners, famed for chart hitting songs like Zuena, Nakudata, Lwaki Onumya and Nyambura, are now basking in the glory of their newly found fame. Radio and Weasel have left their fans yearning for more, proof that they are a great force to reckon with in the Ugandan music industry.
The members of Goodlyfe Crew met through Weasel's elder brother, Chameleon at Leone Island records. Like they say, the rest is history. They have released over 10 songs in a space of a year and released videos that are receiving massive airplay on television stations in Uganda.
Forgotten
Radio & Weasel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scraped it away, I do, I may
For the summer
For the summer
Here goes your man, dances the hourly
Cape land to colors rolling through the valley
For the summer
Hold tight, horizon minds
It's writing its name in the sky
It's paradise
We fade away into the night
Beverly Hills, nuclear winter
What should we wear and who's for dinner?
In the summer
For the summer
Hold tight, our love will fade out
It's writing its name in the sky
And I'll stop and stare
We'll fade away into the night
It's paradise
For now we go under the knife
For one time, oh, some doctors
Divided by night time
Let's do it for the summer, send for the sunrise
Let's do it for the summer, send for the sunrise
Let's do it for the summer, send for the sunrise
Let's do it for the summer, send for the sunrise
The beginning of Radio & Weasel's song "Forgotten" takes us to an environmentally degraded Beverly Hills where plastic is burning, and the singer scrapes it away. He hopes to get rid of it for the summer, wanting to enjoy the beauty of the season without the looming threat of environmental destruction. In contrast, the second verse speaks of a man dancing hourly, moving through his world and experiencing the colors of nature rolling through the valley. Our narrator wants to hold tight to this paradise, even as it fades away into the night.
The chorus brings back the image of Beverly Hills, now facing a "nuclear winter," and the uncertainty of what the future holds. The love the singer feels also fades away, and they stop and stare, watching paradise disappear. The bridge includes the line "Let's do it for the summer, send for the sunrise," a plea to take action and make every moment count, to grasp onto the fleeting beauty before it's gone forever.
Overall, "Forgotten" is a contemplative song about the natural world and humanity's relationship with it. The lyrics seem to reflect on the pain and sadness of losing something beautiful that we took for granted or neglected. It also speaks about the need to take action and make a change to preserve these natural wonders.
