Ce nouveau 7 inch, mixé à l'ancienne à Kerwax, reprend les codes traditionnels du genre en offrant en face A un vocal du chanteur anglais Joe Yorke et en face B la réponse façon « Deejay Style » de Pupajim. Deux tunes qui traitent des divisions inhérentes au fonctionnement des sociétés contemporaines et les opposent à cette forme d'unité qui naît et s'exprime de façon éphémère au coeur des dancehalls. Tous ensemble au même rythme dans la danse mais finalement seul, animé autant que contraint par une condition sociale individuelle, dès lors qu'il s'agit de reprendre le cours d'une vie. D'une face à l'autre, sur un riddim bâti pour le soundsystem, les mots « Midnight Rock » résonnent comme une invitation à profiter du moment présent autant qu'à faire perdurer l'expérience collective une fois que les lumières se rallument, comme un appel à se préparer pour lutter ensemble et dès demain contre tout ce qui nous divise. "Midnight Rock" comme l'heure de la danse. "Midnight Rock", comme l'heure d'engager le combat. ------------------ Eng : Less than a year after the well-received release of “Quicksand”, Stand High Records presents “Midnight Rock”. A new fundamentally Roots 7” single, the result of a second collaboration between Joe Yorke, Eeyun Purkins and Stand High Patrol. This brand new single was mixed the old school way at the Kerwax studio. In a true traditional roots reggae manner, the A side offers Joe Yorke’s vocal version while Pupajim’s “Deejay Style” reply sits on the flip. These two tunes address social divisions in our modern society, which is in contrast with the unity felt and temporarily expressed within the dancehalls. Grooving all together to the rhythm, fuelled and constrained by our individual social condition, as soon as the music ends we remain alone. On the two sides, the words “Midnight Rock” resonate on a riddim built for soundsystem sessions. “Midnight Rock”, an invitation for all skankers to enjoy the moment and make it last after the lights come on, a call to fight together against what divides us. “Midnight Rock”, time to join the dance. “Midnight Rock”, time to engage in combat. -------------------- STAND HIGH PATROL // LINKS FB : facebook.com/STANDHIGHPATROL INSTAGRAM : instagram.com/standhighrecords SOUNDCLOUD : soundcloud.com/stand-high-patrol TWEETER : twitter.com/STANDHIGHPATROL SPOTIFY : open.spotify.com/artist/4aoS8xjLh7iC8vgyEMtBlD?si=2QM36rruRIaSLBeBrklV7g DEEZER : deezer.com/fr/artist/1562640 YOUTUBE : youtube.com/channel/UCvaudN0s-oUrFFkQgslTqMg BANDCAMP : standhighpatrol.bandcamp.com WEBSITE : standhighpatrol.com -------------------- Lyrics "Midnight Stories" (By Pupajim) : This is the middle of the night in a night club People are dancing to a raw dub They forget their worries of the week Moving together as one A plumber, a student, a banker, a boss A son, a widow and a dad Different lives and different souls But everyone is dancing to the raw dub Why are these moments so brief? Happiness leaves like a thief It will soon be time to go home With the 5 o’clock walk Midnight rock, this is the midnight rock (x2) This is the middle of the night in a tiny bedroom A mother is crying in the gloom Her baby finally fell asleep Making her green eyes weep She could not hold back no more She could not hold back no more Tears, stream to the floor She could not hold back no more Midnight rock, this is the midnight rock (x2) This is the middle of the night at the factory Jay is working hard at the assembly line While Amy is at home with their baby Jay is working hard for their future to shine ... the middle of night and I dream the middle of night and I dream This is the middle of the night the middle of the night the middle of the night this is midnight rock
