Midisound https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo asked me if I’d be interested in collaborating with him. He shared the instrumental of this, saying he could hear the line, “Kiss Me Now”. I found a unique Latin passion in the melody and the exotic rhythm was very inspiring to me which meant that the song felt as if it wrote itself, with the music dictating the mood.
We are delighted to share this, hopefully the first of many collaborations with Soundcloud. Many thanks to Paco for this opportunity, for the inspiration and for his endless patience.

I knew the game was up,
That I’d run out of luck.
No room for a make-up,
You see me as a schmuck.
I knew that this would never last,
That we were bound to crash and burn.
Our best days are in the past,
It’s me you spurn.
I knew you played a killer hand,
Give me a moment to savour.
Now it’s all out of my command,
Then grant me this favour.
Kiss me now,
Before you rip the very heart out of me.
One last time,
Kiss me now.
Give me this one thing to remember you by.
Kiss me now.
Leave some positivity to make it all worthwhile,
I know only too well that we can’t reconcile.
Kiss me now,
Before you trample my heart into the floor.
One last time,
Kiss me now,
Then turn around and walk right out through that door.
Kiss me now.
Dismiss me now,
I’ll wallow in self-pity and reminisce.
Miss me now?
I don’t think so, as I face the abyss.
I knew the game was up,
That I’d run out of luck.
Kiss me, then dismiss me, I don’t matter anymore.
Kiss me now,
Before you rip the very heart out of me.
One last time,
Kiss me now.
Give me this one thing to remember you by.
Kiss me now,
Just kiss me now.
