You always seem to get me When I'm overwhelmed and numb You always bring me back to who I am You gotta understand You'll always be my number one But you're never gonna be my only man So I'll hold you close To me tonight We'll count the stars above We'll be friends forever, but It's the last time, yeah The we make love (we make love) When you share your life with someone You never see that they Can change their ways and grow apart from you I'm not saying that it's over But I've moved beyond theis phase And staying here is something that I cannot do So I'll hold you close To me tonight We'll count the stars above We'll be friends forever, but It's the last time, yeah The we make love (we make love) We can't be together But we'll never be far apart I've grown with you much more than I can say (I can say) Some miracles last forever If you end things how they start I'll be with you always Even when you've gone away So I'll hold you close To me tonight We'll count the stars above We'll be friends forever, but It's the last time, yeah Hold you close to me tonight And we'll count the stars above We'll be friends forever, but It's the last time, yeah That we make love (we make love) That we make love (we make love) We make love (we make love)

The clouds above you are so dark and cold But I will blow them all away The shadows below you follow in your steps But I will shine a light So please, don't you fret my child I'm standing here, right by your side Don't you cry, for tears should not be wasted On what never can be undone I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here The pain you chained and locked inside your heart But I will carry the key Dragging bags so packed full of the past But I will carry them all So please don't you fret my child I'm standing here right by your side Don't you cry, for tears should not be wasted On what never can be undone I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here When your dreams won't start I'll be there When it seems too hard I'll be there Even through the darkest times I'm always here When you need me, just call So please, don't you fret my child I'm standing here, right by your side Don't you cry, for tears should not be wasted On what never can be undone I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here

about

Originally recorded as part of the album "Happily Ever Now" during lockdown in 2020, "I'm Still Here" stands out as one of the shining gems of this outstanding piece of work. It quickly caught the attention of the UK Soul scene and instantly acquired rare-groove status among soul aficionados.

The hauntingly dreamy track caught the ears of Gilles Peterson, Craig Charles, Patrick Forge and many more DJs through out the UK.
This AA audiophile 7" vinyl of "I'm Still Here" distributed to Global Soul, also contains brand new track "The Last Time" as an added bonus. Exclusive to vinyl release, this lush, mid tempo break-up ballad infused with Sandra-Mae Lux's smokey soulful vocals is reminiscent of Quincy Jones in his Patti Austen days.
A beautifully crafted song, performed by top-of-their-game musicians, and mastered to perfection - this gem of a track has all the makings of becoming another soul classic.
