Bass player/emcee Jordan Scannella and drummer/producer Josh Giunta have been playing together since 2004, where they met as students at Berklee College of Music. The bass & drums team have played side by side on literally hundreds of gigs and recordings together, shaping a strong backbone and character for the entire Love Science Music record.
The song is reminder that one must proactively push for his/her own evolution and growth.
lyrics
an object in motion it stays in motion
powers through, creates commotion music is the potion, drink it down
movin’ like the world spinning ‘round, vibration feel the sound
slice through the air from the speaker to your ear
pain in your derrier, well why the hell you sittin there?
Travel from the inside out
blood running through your veins as the birds fly south
we all headed to the point of termination, some on the fast track some with mild retardation,
migration for no special occasion
we all started in Africa, Caucasian or Asian
and we can’t stop now, the universe expands as it demands that we keep up the pace, no about face!
if sky light in the night traveled 10 billion years across space then we can all tag up in this human race, right?
Move body, Move mind
Don't sit, Go find
Don't hate, create
You're alive, don't wait
Take claim to your name
you're the one, you can fly
so go on up on your way
you've got to move!
Our gears are rusted, we need to oil it
most of us only make moves on the toilet
Move away from ignorance, bad influence
away from First Corinthian and straight to Darwinian
move optically, cables at the bottom of the sea
can send an MP3 to a girl in Tahiti
move sonically, no regurgitated harmony programmed by a wannabe, I want me annomalys
Move mentally the whole of humanity, fact check the fiction because it’s our responsibility
Move physically, dancing is the only way to deny the inevitability of our own immortality
don’t the rigor mortis set in, the starting line is everywhere so you know where to begin
Move body, Move mind
Don't sit, Go find
Don't hate, create
You're alive, don't wait
Take claim to your name
you're the one, you can fly
so go on up on your way
you've got to move!
