“Try To Forget” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Try To Forget” – Lovespirals – 5 Years of Chillin’ (2011) + Love Me Leave Me LP (2013)

I’ve been thinking about my life

Wondering why its so filled with strife
Things should be easier than this
That is my wish, oh yes it is

Let’s get away
Just for today
Try to forget
Let’s get away
Just for today
Try to forget

When I lay in my bed at night
Wondering why nothing’s going right
Things should be easier than this
That is my wish, oh yes it is

Let’s get away
Just for today
Try to forget
Let’s get away

The Chillcast with Anji Bee: 5 Years of Chillin'
The Chillcast with Anji Bee: 5 Years of Chillin’

Just for today
Try to forget

Divided by the seasons
Divided by the tides
The days become the reasons
And the meanings of our lives
Divided by the seasons
Divided by the tides
The days become the reasons
And the meanings of our lives

Try to forget
Try to forget

— Anji Bee (BMI)

NOTE: This song was originally released under the Lovespirals moniker, but after work commenced on Anji’s debut solo album, the duo decided the single was a much better fit for ‘Love Me Leave Me’ than the next band album. The album version is subtly different than the compilation cut, as Anji and Ryan had upgraded their recording studio since the original recording, specifically in the effects chains. Listen closely for subtle differences in Anji’s vocal production, as well as the overall ambiance of the song.

“Put Some Music On” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Put Some Music On”  5 Years of Chillin’ (2011), Out Of The Past by The Grooveblaster (2011), Put Some Music On Remixes EP (2012), Love Me Leave Me LP (2013)

Put some music on
Put out the lights
Put your cares behind
We’ll have a party tonight

Put some music on
Put out the lights
Put your cares behind
We’ll have a party alright

I’ll loosen my hair
You’ll loosen your tie
Let’s loosen up
We’ll laugh and drink some wine

I’ll loosen my hair
You’ll loosen your tie
Let’s loosen up
And have a real good time tonight

(repeat x3)

Note: These lyrics were originally penned in 2006 during a Lovespirals songwriting session. 2 versions of this song were created in 2010, the first one for The Grooveblaster and the second one for my debut solo album. I released by version first on the ‘5 Years of Chillin’ compilation, created to celebrate the 5th anniversary of The Chillcast with Anji Bee. Shortly thereafter, Grooveblaster’s album came out with his version. In late 2011, I began working with 3345 Music on a remix EP, which resulted in 2 excellent mixes by Intensity of Sound and one more by 3C. The original mix was also featured on my debut solo album, “Love Me Leave Me,” released in late 2013.

I’m feeling a bit better now, at long last. Thanks to all the kind folks who left me get well soon messages on Facebook and Twitter! This week I’ve got an upbeat mix of soulful and jazzy electronica with an extended deep house set, with some lovely vocal tracks and cool instrumentals. I’ve got a sneak peek or two at some upcoming releases and one oldie but goodie. Sorry there’s no freebies this episode, but don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you really soon…

Chillcast #255: Keep It Chill

4 Comments

I’m sick this week and really had to push myself to get the show done. I decided the best thing to do was keep it chill, baby. Gonna practice what I preach LOL! This week’s mix is perhaps just a bit more chill than usual in tone, starting out a wee bit ambient, then coasting along with some very nice vocal lounge and downtempo, and closing out on a slightly higher note. Look forward to lotsa great new releases, some new artists to the show, an eclectic mix of chilled genres and some big Chillcast news.

Chillcast Joins Club1 Radio Lineup

Leave a comment

Long time listener of the show, DJ Wessel Rubensky, invited The Chillcast with Anji Bee to join his newly founded CLUB1 lineup on Nijmegen1 radio. Rubensky is the music advisor for the local Dutch station, which airs on 107.8 FM in Nijmegen and Arnhem City in the Netherlands. The Chillcast closes out a great lineup of international dance music shows broadcasting Saturday night through Sunday morning. You can listen to a high quality live stream at www.nijmegen1.nu

Saturday CLUB1 Lineup:

20-21 (CET) – Ibiza Sensations with DJ Luis del Villar (Barcelona)
21-23 (CET) – DJ Theo´s Soulful San Francisco House Sessions (San Francisco)
23-01 (CET) – DJ MEB Welcome to My House (London)
01-02 (CET) – DJ Northern Monkey (London)
02-03 (CET) – Club 1 Night Stand (Various DJs)
03-04 (CET) – Zero–Inch (Vienna/Berlin)
04-05 (CET) – Cooling Down: The Chillcast with Anji Bee (Los Angeles)

It is perhaps not surprising that Rubensky first discovered Bee through the podcast of former Netherlands DJ (and MTV VJ), Adam Curry, who dubbed her “the sexiest voice in podcasting.” Curry founded the Podshow Network (now known as Mevio) in 2005, signing Bee on as one of 30 flagship podcasts for his new media company. Curry also included The Chillcast in his Adam Curry’s Podshow lineup on Sirius Satellite Radio.
