I lived in Argentina for about 8 years. Note the tango while I'm telling the story.
It opened up my mind to so many things.
It started out as a pretty crazy trip, and it continued to be a crazy trip :)
My band is all from Colombia. Some of my best friends are from Colombia :)
I wrote this version as sort of a mashup of styles.
Obvious the Beatles wrote this song, and then I heard Tito Puente do it and I thought it was incredible.
Also, I felt that it needed some influence from rock and hip-hop.
The two artists that really came to mind were Santana and Jay-Z.
The rap in the middle is original, written by me, I hope my Spanish isn't too terrible.
This song is a great inspiration to me. In this crazy world, it reminds us that we are much more similar than we are different.
And we need to Come Together, and understand each other.
Here come old flat top
He come grooving up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoe shine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together, right now, over me
Rap:
Vamos Juntos, adelante
Vengan cerca, escuchan las parlantes
Estamos en el mudno
No es tan profundo
Quedamos en un barco
Por un momento muy corto
Somos diferente en cuerpo y en mente
Somos distinto pero es casi lo mismo
Vengan cerca, escuchan las parlantes
Estamos en el mundo
Vamos juntos!
He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together, right now, over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say, "one and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together, right now, over me
Oh
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Oh
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
