           Soop evolved organically over the course of 2013 between three friends: Michael Burke(lasers, synths and beats) Stacy Gougoulis (vocal) and Mitch Secrett (guitars, beats and mixes). They shared snippets of songs, quit jams in apartments, and after many tacos developed a number of intricate and carefully crafted tunes

Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
 
Like a rocket flashin' in the night
Leave a message, baby, now I'm out of sight
Hang on to myself, I'm huntin' for feelin'
 
A big game
On my mind
I'm clubbin' 'round the midnight
Lookin' for love
Like I'm dance' in the wind tonight
 
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Burnin' out your secret desire
Wanna be your midnight lover
Lightin' up the stars with your fire
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Turnin' on your secret desires
Gotta be your midnight lover
Wake up for the night is fire
 
An emotion smashin' up my brain
Like a secret longin' drivin' me insane
Just gotta go now, still lookin' for a feelin'
 
A big game
On my mind
I'm clubbin' 'round the midnight
Lookin' for love
Like I'm dance' in the wind tonight
 
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Burnin' out your secret desire
Wanna be your midnight lover
Lightin' up the stars with your fire
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Turnin' on your secret desires
Gotta be your midnight lover
Wake up for the night is fire fire fire!
 
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
 
Lookin' for love
Like I'm dance' in the wind tonight
 
Baby, I'm a midnight lover
Fire!
Wanna be your midnight lover
Fire!

STAY IN THE MOMENT

        What if we could pause time and stay in a certain moment forever? Talented artist Tyra Chantey has recently released her new single, ‘Stay In The Moment,’ so we sat down with her to chat about her new release, what it means to her, and her upcoming plans.
        Q: Congrats on the release of your second single. Can you tell us more about how ‘Stay In The Moment’ came to be and what it means to you?
    A: The lyrical content of SITM is pretty straightforward – it’s about being in the moment. About how you never know if when you make it to your goals, whether that feeling is going to exceed whatever you’re experiencing now. You don’t know what the best moments in your life are going to be. It might just be being with your family one evening. The overhyped moments are not always what they seem to be. I’m on a journey right now where I’m trying to share my music with as many people as possible, but at the same time, I want to enjoy the journey. That’s what SITM is about.
         The song came together super quickly; it was kind of like a freestyle if you listen to the lyrics. I knew I wanted to mix that poppy sound of the instrumental with a soulful vocal style. The way that I’m singing it is kind of low register, but when you hear the instrumental, you think that it’s something that’s going to go up. Writing a pop song that stays in the same register, that never really has that euphoric break, is something I haven't done before. I’m really inspired by artists like Nina Simone and Tracy Chapman, who can put a soulful twist on something poppy.(EPIDEMIC SOUND TRANSCRIPTION)
Finally don’t give no fu*ks
Finally been riding on my way
Finally woke up with some luck and a buck
I don’t give a-ah what someone someone say
Finally got my friends in the back of my roller
We gon make it big one day
We gon make it big I say
We gon make it big just, stay in the...
 
Hook 1
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment with me
Give you a moment to
Give you a moment of me
Smell all the roses
Smell all the roses with me
Just give you a moment to
Stay in the moment with me
 
Verse 2
You woke up from a while
Haven’t seen you smile since December
Ripped your heart, got a brand new one
Since you got lost in November
See it in your eyes when we leave for the night
Way to many heartbreaks still on your mind
Let the flame burn down for a while
Let the frame blur out for a while...
 
Hook 2
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment with me
Give you a moment to
Give you a moment of me
Smell all the roses
Smell all the roses with me
Just give you a moment to
Stay in the moment with me
 
Bridge
Give you a moment to be in the moment with me
 
Hook 3
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment with me
Give you a moment to
Give you a moment of me
Smell all the roses
Smell all the roses with me
Just give you a moment to
Stay in the moment with me
 
Outro
I know you hiding behind that pretty brown face
I see you climbing been tryna find your own way
Last see you smiling since we were stuck in LA
Babe, come jump the roof top and come watch the skyline with me.

Pour la rose effeuillée que l'orage a tué au jardin de
l'été
Pour les grands oiseaux blancs perdus sur l'océan
Je veux chanter ce soir
 
Pour le soldat qui va sous un ciel de lilas
Au printemps vivre un dernier combat
Pour croire à l'espoir même quand tout est noir
Je veux chanter ce soir
 
Pour le marin cloué par la vague enragée sur la croix d'un
Rocher
Pour l'enfant qui espère un bateau sur la mer
Je veux chanter ce soir
 
Pour la biche aux abois qui cherche dans les bois à genoux
Son souffle qui s'en va
Et pour ne jamais voir la fin dans un regard
Je veux chanter ce soir
 
Mais aussi pour l'amour qui du haut de ses tours
Elle jette ses beaux jours
Mais aussi pour ta main que j'enferme dans ma main
Je veux chanter ce soir
 
Pour tes yeux de plein ciel où je vois le soleil
Le soleil à nul autre pareil
Pour t'aimer encore toujours, toujours plus fort
Je veux chanter ce soir
 
Oui pour t'aimer encore toujours, toujours plus fort
Je veux chanter ce soir
Oui pour t'aimer encore toujours, toujours plus fort
Je veux chanter ce soir.

        Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were an Ame- rican soul and R&B vocal group. One of the most popular Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s, the group's repertoire included soul, R&B, doo-wop, and disco. Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the middle of the 1950s as The Charlemagnes, the group is most noted for several hits on Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label between 1972 and 1976, although they performed and recorded until Melvin's death in 1997. Despite group founder and original lead singer Harold Melvin's top billing, the Blue Notes' most famous member was Teddy Pendergrass, their lead singer during the successful years at Philadelphia International. The remaining members of the Blue Notes have reunited for Soul Train Cruises in 2013, 2015, and 2017.
          "The Love I Lost" is a song by American R&B group Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Originally written as a ballad by Philly soul songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, the song was transformed into a disco song and features drummer Earl Young. It was released from the Black & Blue album in late 1973 and sold more than a million copies. In the 21st century, the track has been the subject of extended re-edits by notable remixers Tom Moulton and Dimitri From Paris.

 The love I lost
Was a sweet love
The love I lost
Was complete love
 
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never
Love again, ooh
 
I can remember planning
Building my whole world around you
I can remember hoping
That you and I could make it on through
 
But something went wrong
We loved each other
We just couldn't get along
Take a good look at me
I'm in misery, can't you see?
 
The love I lost
Was a sweet love (yes it was)
The love I lost
Was complete love
 
The love I lost
I will never (never), no, no, never (never)
Love again, ooh
 
I can't remember nothing, no no no
But the good times we used to share, oh no
I'm so sad and lonely
But without you, my life is so dead
 
I'm sorry to say
You go your way and I'll go my way
It hurts deep inside
The day we said goodbye, but the love
 
The love I lost
Was a sweet love
The love I lost
Was complete love
 
The love I lost
I will never (never) no no never
Love again (I'll never never never love again)
I will never (never) no, no, never (never)
Love again
I will never (never) no, no, never (never)
Love again
 
Never, no, no, never
Love again
Never, no, no, never (never)
Love again
Never
 
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
 
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it
I lost it
Sorry I lost it.
