Chords for REDBONE INTERVIEW 1974

Basically our music _ is for_
It speaks for itself.
It's for the neuro _ _ -physical intelligent person. _ _
Like before there was a myth that either you had brawn, muscles, or you had brains,
_ which is totally a myth, because it is perfectly capable to have both, muscles and brains.
And I think that the people that our music appeals to have both of these qualities.
They have the physical as well as the intellectual.
_ _ They have the ability _ to emotionally relate to our music _ _ _
and to intellectually dissect the music to their intellectual _ _ _ satisfaction.
_ _ _ So we're the insect, right?
_ _ _ _ _ Right.
We're the donning.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Yeah.
The music has balls _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ scotch.
No doubt [N] about that.
Wine.
No doubt about that either.
Two.
No doubt about that.
Like a tecum?
_ Yeah.
_ _ No_
Like a tecum.
Oh, good.
Right.
_ _ It's high energy, intensity.
You see, there are certain_
You know, there are frequencies, like for instance,
_ _ _ if you're watching television, for instance,
_ _ you're watching a program and all of a sudden the commercial comes on
and it's twice as loud as a feature,
and all of a sudden _ it sort of breaks whatever _ _ _ _ brainwaves you had going for you at the time.
[Ab] Maybe you were on a mellow plane.
All of a sudden it comes on and it either takes you up or pisses you off.
You know?
But the music we're putting out, we feel is sensual. You know? _
It's _ physical energy.
You know, we feel it.
For us it's a high and we sweat when we play
and we get really excited by it.
It's in our roots.
Yeah.
And it's a primitive _ _ _ _ energy _ coming out.
I don't get up unless I sweat.
You know, through [N] the _ _ experience and the education we've had
and all the learning and all the different people we've learned from,
people that have influenced us,
or that we've dug over the years musically,
you know, all the different elements,
jazz, country, western, _ Latin music,
the _ Indian rhythms and times.
It's all just a fusion of all those different energies
and it _ _ gets us off. _ _ _
And _ you've got to let yourself, you've got to be open to it.
You've got to be able to let yourself _ be carried by it
in order to reach that energy level where you begin to feel it.
_ Not only hear it and feel like dancing to it,
but you feel it physically. _ _
