about

This song went through numerous mind-boggling transformations, but eventually became one of the most “radio-friendly” tunes from Ootini!. It also highlights the rhythm section in its top form.

lyrics

There's no going back to the old ways. I've gotta feeling that is good
No more manipulation plays
The words you say no longer good
Pre-chorus
I'm gonna put my lipstick and my best dress on
Call all my good friends go dancing cause I'm rising

Arising, ohhh no more sleeping tonight
I'm arising ohh this feeling, this feeling makes its alright
arising x2 smiling,shining,
Oh no more sleeping tonight
Arising...

There's no pleading to say anything
U no longer feel the need to hear
Dramatization of tears
No longer have nails that pierce.

So I'm gonna put my lipstick and my best dress on
Call all my good friends go dancing cause I'm rising

Arising, ohhh no more sleeping tonight
I'm arising x2, this feeling makes its alright
arising x2 smiling,shining,
Oh no more sleeping tonight
Arising...

The illusion no longer scares
I'll put my tears in a sack
Burry it with the rest
There is no more need for holding back...

So I'm gonna put my lipstick and my best dress on
Call all my good friends go dancing cause I'm rising
Arising Oh no more sleeping tonight
I'm arising x2, this feeling makes its alright
arising x2 smiling,shining,
Oh no more sleeping tonight
Arising...

about

Ootini! Singapore

Traipsing from tango, reggae, and dangdut to calypso, whilst conjuring odd-time rhythmic spells, Ootini is a spectacular gamble purveying worldbeat and neo-soul with inflections of math rock.

The band's music reflects diverse influences like Opeth, Nitin Sawhney, Rupa & The April Fishes, Pat Metheny and Sara Tavares.
