TBCB MUSIC released the band's first effort on last october, 2005. The album entitled "The Black Cat Bone", includes 11 original songs plus a country rendition of Preston Foster's "I got my mojo working".
“The Black Cat Bone”, TBCB’s NEW ALBUM-KOMA
TBCB’s return to the Colombian national rock scene began in November 2009 with the recording sessions for their second album with German Villacorta as producer alongside Juan David Bernal. The four musicians of TBCB Mauricio Leguízamo, Juan David Bernal, Luis Fernando Garcia and Andres Garzón began the final phase of a sabbatical year in which the band found its musical essence. These were months of intense creativity, reflection and a rest from the great moment where, between 2005 and 2008, the band was on top of the national rock scene.
This pause, which meant a redirection in the band’s musical concept, found a quick echo in the genius of Germán Villacorta, Peruvian producer and engineer based in Los Angeles, whose credits range from Ozzy Osbourne, Stone Temple Pilots and Rolling Stones among others, in diverse roles as recording and mixing engineer. Villacorta understood the meaning of what TBCB wanted resulting in one of the best records in the history of Colombian rock. In February 2010, the single “Let it die” opened way to KOMA, the band’s second studio album.
I Got My Mojo Working
The Black Cat Bone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you
I wanna love you so bad and I don't know what to do
I'm goin' down Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm goin' down Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I wanna love you oh woman but you're not on my command
I got my mojo workin'
I got my mojo workin'
I got my mojo workin'
I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you
I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
She said, "It's no use boy, that girl is cold as ice"
The lyrics of The Black Cat Bone's song "I Got My Mojo Working" speak of an individual's dilemma regarding love. The song depicts the singer as having a "mojo" that works on everyone except the one they love. The term "mojo" in this context refers to a charm or amulet that is believed to guarantee the possessor a particular outcome, such as luck, love, or protection. However, despite having this charm, the singer is unable to make the person they care about reciprocate their feelings. The lyrics express the singer's frustration in not being able to make the person they love fall in love with them.
The lyrics also indicate that the singer is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to resolve the issue. They plan to go to Louisiana to obtain a "mojo hand," which is believed to have stronger magical properties than the everyday mojo. Despite this, the singer still cannot make the person they love fall in love with them. The singer has also sought advice from a gypsy woman who tells him that the woman he loves is "cold as ice." The lyrics express the singer's desperation and confusion regarding the situation, as they do not know what else they can do to win the person's affection.
