Baba Rai - Debut Single "New Life" available digitally since Feb 20th 2020 - Press-release english
Baba Rai's Debut Single "New Life" was conceived at one of several street music sessions in the summer of 2017 to promote the founding party of a non-profit association for the maintaining of his cultural center Nea Zoi (greek for "new life") in his hometown Altötting (Bavaria, Germany). It was here, where Baba Rai improvised chords and chorus of the song for the first time.
After a period of demoing, "New Life" was recorded and produced at Sound Fux Studio by Winston Jud (also co-producing, mixing and mastering). Baba Rai alias Rainer Baumgartner played all instruments himself except the organ. The track was contributed by friend and jam collegue Simon Matias, which gives the song that appealing retro character à la Doors or The Animals. Also did Matias sing the harmonie vocals.
The Tune that comes with poppy and catchy reggae vibes is kind of the soundtrack to a new sense of life and thus a "new life" for Baumgartner in his hometown community with a thriving music scene. The Theme to the song was inspired by the realization, that every human being is its own lucky smith with the ability to give life and truth to its innermost dreams and visions by the means of the feeling. "Even more powerful this creative process becomes, when we add expression to that feeling through music and dance - so: we can really dance the new life into existence!" Baba Rai sais.
Since february 20th the song is available here on bandcamp and ready for download and streaming on all major plattforms like iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music or Deezer on march 20th.
Lyrics:
We can dance the new life into existence
We can dance, we can dream the new life into existence
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh…
If you wanna be free and live happily there's only one way.
It's how you percieve, so you got to believe, here is what i say
We can dance the new life into existence
We can dance, yes we can sing the new life into existence
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh…
Before it can be, you got to feel, I tell you my friend
If you only dared, to see that it's real, i'd reach you my hand
For this new dance, oh it's the exisdance
There's a whole new world in the making
It's been in your dreams, time for waking
Let's live it up, I'm a-shaking
Let the spirits fly into new heights of this new life
that we can dance, yes we can dream into existence
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh…
This is the exisDANCE, dance the resisDANCE
With great persistence, I've got to announce
That when we confess, that we're here to bless
That phenomenal fest that we call life
Then we rise above all the struggles and odds
For the freedom to love all that's in this vast cosmos
'Cause everything costs only smiles or a touch
Or a reaching a hand, or a word of compassion
My heart's in coherence with mother earth's beat
I agree to the laws of the wisdom
That have throughout existence, kissed us,
Not missed a single one of us beautiful creatures of all walks of life
That'll find one another, all hearts we all gather
Celebrating friendship and the abundance
So we've come to dance the new life into existence
We can dance, yes we gotta dance the new life into existence
We gotta dance, we gotta dance,
We gotta dance, we gotta dance
the new life into existence
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh…
We can dance, we can sing, we can water,
we can bring this new life into existence
We can dance, we can smile,
we can share for a while this new life into existence
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh…
