The band came about through a desire to make good quality music using real musicians whilst, at the same time, moving jazz forwards.

After putting on a series of club nights at Birmingham's Medicine Bar, which consisted of a set by a live "jazz" band with DJs playing Sun Ra and Roy Ayers alongside Madlib and Bugz in the Attic, Chris and Leo put a band together to combine these diverse influences into a single live unit.

3 years of refining and gigging later, and the second album is on the way. Recent highlights include gigs in Edinburgh, London, Oxford and Birmingham playing alongside the likes of Dom Servini, Phil Asher and Dego (4 Hero). The band has also recently been awarded a Musicians Benevolent Fund development award.

I Got You
Sugar Beats Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)

This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself

I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way

Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?

I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you

I think I love you
I think I love you

They declare that they never felt this way before, which is both exciting and scary. The chorus repeats, reflecting the singer’s constant inner struggle with their feelings, as they ask their love interest if they feel the same way.

Line by Line Meaning

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
I was sleeping and having a positive dream when something interrupted me

Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Suddenly, I was jolted awake by a persistent feeling that I couldn't shake

Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
Instead of losing my mind, I clutch my pillow to my head to try and calm down

And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I sit up in bed and scream out the words that scare me

I think I love you (I think I love you)
I'm realizing that I might be in love with you

This morning I woke up with this feeling
Today, I woke up with a new emotion that I don't know how to handle

I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I didn't know how to handle my feelings, so I decided to keep them to myself

I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
I planned to keep my feelings a secret and not share them with anyone

And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I managed to restrain myself and not announce my feelings to you when you entered the room

I think I love you (I think I love you)
I keep realizing that I might be in love with you

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
Even though I feel like I love you, I'm scared of something

I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I'm worried that I'm not fully committed to a love that has no guaranteed solution

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Isn't love what makes life worth living? That's what I keep thinking.

Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way
It scares me to admit that I've never felt this way before

I don't know what I'm up against
I'm not sure what I'm facing

I don't know what it's all about
I'm not sure what's really going on

I got so much to think about
I have a lot to contemplate and sort out in my mind

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm trying to talk myself out of being afraid to admit that I love you

Believe me you really don't have to worry
Please don't be alarmed, there's nothing to worry about

I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
All I want is for you to be happy, and if you tell me to leave, I will

But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
However, I believe it would be better for me to stay by your side and love you

Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Can I ask you something? Do you think I have a chance with you?

Do you think you love me?
Do you have feelings for me too?

I think I love you
I keep coming to the conclusion that I love you
