Todd Terry All Stars Ft. Tara McDonald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I ask myself why
I'm walking in rhythm to a new beat
Must be the look in your eye
Get down
You are my music fill me up
Here I am
Ooh ooh yeah yeah
This is unusual
It's not like me
To be acting this way
I'm talking in riddles and poetry
No one understands what I say
Get down
You are my music fill me up
Here I am
Keep it spinning till we drop
I don't know why I gotta boogie
Could it be your standing by me
Everything I see so shiny now
Get down
You are my music fill me up
Here I am
Keep it spinning till we drop
Ooh ooh yeah yeah

The feeling of joy and inspiration that she is experiencing is mimicked in the exceptional upbeat tempo of the song.
The chorus of the song, which repeats several times, talks about how the person she's looking at helps her to get down, and their presence fills her up like music. All of her doubts and fears disappear as she immerses herself in a moment of music, dancing, and love. They keep spinning until they both drop, emphasizing the idea of continuous movement and how nothing can stand still when you are wholly immersed in your chosen passion.

Song is great , every thing blends together , the bass , horns , has a lot of old school sounds in a house beat and when it breaks down into the piano , ....just cool .
