Description
A jazz/electronica jam using Mandika's(spoken word iCompositions artist) poem Played. Once again Mandika's rhythmic recitation style made it easy to find the right groove. Only the drums are loops but bent and warped to my will. The bass part is a sample from a recording I made some time ago with a bassist. Both Live and Logic were used to create this piece. Thank you to Mandika for permission to rework her recording

Lyrics
Played by Mandika
I tried to reason have
a colloquy in due time
My so called girlfriend came knocking when
she entered my mind
I thought she was a friend but she smiled to
hard
It took everything in me not to call on the lord
Told me he was creeping
Messin round today
He done played me
He done played me
He done played me this way?
My countenance so distraught
from still loving my Boo
Always been right here
Staying down for you
In a matter of an hour found he had
gone astray
He done played me
He done played me
He done played me this way?
Alas i gathered bearings and withdrew
from the flo
Ironed out the wrinkles walking through
those doors
Mending my punctured heart though
emotions intensely soar
He don't love me
He don't love me
He don't love me no mo

I especially like the panning echo vocals. Great groove.
