Spectral Display are still churning out hits, and their latest tune, ‘Slowly’, is responsible for a surge of positive emotions. All of you who enjoy listening to new music that is presented in a manner that is distinctive will delight in the latest release from the electronic-pop ensemble that is based in Amsterdam.

The Michel Mulders-led group has been successful since their initial leap in the 1980s by adhering to a formula of innovating, which is one of the keys to a long-lasting career in the music industry. Furthermore, they manage to stay true and current to the scene and this track fits in like a glove. It has a reggaeton groove, plus there are a tonne of original flavours, both of which contribute to the song’s ability to instantly become get stuck in the mind. The vocals on this track are performed by Prince Chapelle and Lachi and the pair come together in perfect harmony.

The track is 3 minutes and 33 seconds long and it feels as though it could spin for much longer given its catchy aesthetic. It is in the chorus that the magic of the song takes place, and it is also in the chorus that the meaning of the song is ingrained deeply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slowly

Verse1

Your lips are cold, your words are cool

But that will only fool a fool, you say:

If you want to know what I feel for you

Don’t listen to a word I say, just look into

look into the fire,

look into the fire of my eyes

‘cause they will tell you

 

Chorus

Slowly

Say it slowly

so I can understand it

Slow down and tell me

so I can comprehend what you’re trying to say

what you try to tell me

with your lips and your eyes and your smile and your hands

say it again and again and again and again

 

I am a word that never was spoken

I am a hand that’s never been held

I am a vow that never was broken

I am a story that no one can tell

I am the water that mumbles and whispers

I am the moon that silently laughs

I am the echo that calls from the darkness

I am the wave that sings in the shell

 

Slowly

Speak slowly

so I can understand it

Slow down and tell me

so I can comprehend what you’re trying to say

what you try to tell me

with your lips and your eyes and your smile and your hands

say it again and again and again and again

 

Verse2

Your lips are cold, your words are cool

But that will only fool a fool, you say:

If you want to know what I feel for you

Don’t listen to a word I say, just look into

look into the fire,

look into the fire of my eyes

‘cause they will tell you

 

Chorus

I am the beast that cries in the ocean

I am the rustling voice of the tree

I am the fire that glows in the ashes

I am the stone that speaks in your dream

I am the star that shines in the morning

I am the soul that no one can sell

I am the sound of the ring that is rolling

falling into the deep of the well

 

Slowly

Speak slowly

so I can understand it

Slow down and tell me

so I can comprehend what you’re trying to say

what you try to tell me

with your lips and your eyes and your smile and your hands

say it again and again and again and again

 

no one ever said these words

no one ever said these words to me

like you say these words

like you say these words to me

 

Slowly

Speak slowly

so I can understand it

Slow down and tell me

so I can comprehend what you’re trying to say

what you try to tell me

with your lips and your eyes and your smile and your hands

say it again and again and again and again
