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
Feel the light
Rest on our shoulders
Like heaven from above
It feels so right
Keep comin, closer
Let’s keep this taste of love
I watch the flame burn smooth
Evaporate
Light pourin’ in, your origin
Fascinates
Me
My ears are yours
My fears are gone
Your tears are gone
Away
These moments growin’
Each mornin’
Rollin’
Moanin’
Keep on, it’s on
We know, it’s gone
Be longer than we
Told 'em
Not just your average place
We can make our rules and change em
No need to face away
When all our secrets on the table
Open up the gate,
I promise,
I will lead the way
Safe to say
it’s not a game with you
(won't play, no game)
Decisions they can wait
No problems
Follow us today
Can’t escape
the shades of love in bloom
Eminence, evident stems from
your feminine, heavenly presence
My hesitance, prevalent
elegance, pardon my etiquette
Oh so
Typical of me it’s true
Tossin and turnin'
I’m fightin' the yearnin'
keep fannin’ this flame
ooh the fire is burnin now
Let’s carry the burden
The lines are all blurrin'
I swear it’s all for you
I do, I do yeah
Feel the light
Rest on our shoulders
Like heaven from above
It feels so right
Keep comin, closer
Let’s keep this taste of love
