about

The Sistahood is a collective of three strong female soul-singers who harmoniously vibe off of each other in order to perform improvised song and high-vibe spoken word whilst also channelling through a variation of cosmically galactic melodies. All of this magic occurs over the funkiest and the fattest of beats, created by live loop electronica sound-scientist, Craigus McVegas.

lyrics

The Lights are on
(an improve garden party jam)

(April)
Hey oh
It was a clear blue night and the stars were alight
It was a clear blue night and the stars were alight
And I could feel the satin rollin’ down my skin
I could feel the satin rollin’ down my skin
It was a clear blue night and it was on fire
It was yellow and it was gold and it was blue and it was old
It was blue and it was old
It was a little bit of everything rolled into one
It was a little bit of lightness mixed with the funk
It was a clear blue night and I could feel it deep inside me
Oooooh
And I wonder could you love me
And I wonder could you love me
And I wonder could you love me
(chanting)
Could you love me?
Could you love me
Could you love me
Could you love me?
Cuz I’m a dove and I will spread my wings and I will fly
And I will be so up there up in the sky
And I will fly, oh baby I will fly
(chanting)

(Christina)
You are the dove of eternal soul
You are the dove of the dove of the dove
You are the dove of eternal soul
You are the dove of the dove of the dove now
You are the dove of eternal soul
You are the dove of eternal soul
You are the dove the dove the dove now

(Reeta)
(chanting)
She can only hold him for so long
The lights are on but nobody is home
She can only hold him for long
The lights are on but no one is home
He can only hold her for so long
The lights are on but nobodies home
He can only hold him for so long
The lights are on but nobodies home
(chanting)
He can only hold her for long
The lights are on but nobodies home
He can only hold her for so long
The lights are on but nobody is home
(chanting)

(April)
Cuz she can hold him for long
She can hold him for so long
For for for for so long
Cuz there was a time in my life when I would let myself be held
There was a time in my life when I would let myself, let myself be held
But sometimes you got to walk away from your grass
And sometimes you got to feel that between your toes
And he said baby I can hold you for so long
And I can only hold you for long
And he said baby I can only hold you for so long for so long
And I said baby I’m a wildling
You don’t need to hold me anyway
Cuz I don’t got no time or day for you my lover don’t you know
I said baby don’t you know
That I can only hold you
Baby for the blnk of an eye
Baby for the blink of an eye
Baby for the blink of an eye
