about
Curtis Gatewood’s music is a contemporary fusion of soulful 90’s R&B and modern-day hip hop. Thoughtfully harmonized and infectiously delivered - Gatewood organically evolves every melody, forever staying two steps ahead of the listener. Through his music, he paints a refreshingly honest portrait of love - compassion, isolation, and everything in between. No two songs flow the same as you are taken on a journey beginning and ending in a trance-like ambiance - a still lake at dusk, a tangerine tinged sky, a love note crumpled in the waste bin. Listening to this music is a welcomed respite from the day to day grind, a momentary sanctuary of humanity and harmony.
lyrics
Don’t feel the same
I can’t
keep on
it’s just
Honestly
she’s on my mind
We came
I saw
but you conquered
Cause I’ve been tired
And I’ve been sorrowful
When she walks by
I feel the sorrows flow
The state of my mind
So high
I’ve been blinded love
Forget about the reasons
Don’t worry ‘bout the pieces
Why can’t we get,
On,
Take it all slow
Together, but alone
We can get it on the weekend
We don’t need to be friends
Cause I’ve been dreaming
No
Weight of my soul
Been waiting for so long
I’m heaving
All
My praise
On your name
And I feel
I’ve fallen
Like rain
Don’t want to see you fall away
Fall Away
Time moves on
You found, some closure
Love moves farther
I want closer
oh
Finally found
An honest reason
Hearts on fire
Mines still bleeding
You lost the piece
to make it whole
Forget about the reasons
Don’t worry ‘bout the pieces
Why can’t we get,
On,
Take it all slow
Together, but alone
We can get it on the weekend
We don’t need to be friends
Cause I’ve been dreaming
No
Weight of my soul
Been waiting for so long
I’m heaving
All
My praise
On your name
And I feel
I’ve fallen
Like rain
Don’t want to see you fall away
Fall Away
