Featuring Kenna singing the main chorus and the Sugababes working their harmonies, William Orbit’s newest album features the stunning track ‘Spiral’. A melee of sounds, the mix of Orbit’s dreamy synthetic sound and the Sugababes’ lush, low voices sooth the melody to allow Kenna’s chorus to slot in perfectly. His most recent solo work since the classical interpretations of Pieces in a Modern Style, William Orbit’s newest album doesn’t disappoint. It’s ambient and electronic without becoming background music. With sounds that could be from a faulty phoneline on ‘Firebrand’ to doo-wah like performance on ‘Who Owns the Octopus?’, it’s a fantastic chillout album that entertains without constantly shouting for attention.

Anyway, I like to sing along to songs as I get obsessed with them, so I wrote out/worked out/muddled out the lyrics to Spiral and here they are:

We bust a red light
And I’ve got no fight
Moving in a mad rush
No limit, I can’t stop
We’re into overdrive

Hopelessly into you
‘cause you know how to
Unwrap my feelings ‘til I’ve
Opened up from inside
No reason to be shy
Every reason to be mine

Nothing’s really sane but everything’s amazing
Slowly taking over me
Baby have you noticed, the sky is rearranging
I feel it move in me

Oh, the ground beneath us crumbles and we fall
So I wonder, will we fall?
‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Caught up in a spiral

Adrenaline rush
The moment we touch
Breaking out a hot sweat’s
As good as it gets
I can’t get enough
Fall into a head space
Deep into a new place
Spinning out of control
You should know
I don’t want to be safe
Every reason to be mine

Nothing’s really sane but everything’s amazing
Slowly taking over me
Baby have you noticed, the sky is rearranging
I feel it move in me

Oh, the ground beneath us crumbles and we fall
So I wonder, will we fall?
‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Caught up in a spiral

Yeah, yeah
It feels like I’m shaking up
Took all cool to fight it up
All I am is mesmerized
Can’t believe what’s happening,
Polarised

Nothing’s really sane but everything’s amazing
Slowly taking over me
Baby have you noticed, the sky is rearranging
I feel it move in me (Yeah yeah)

Oh, the ground beneath us crumbles and we fall (fall)
So I wonder, will we fall?
‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Caught up in a spiral

Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
Spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
I’m caught up in a spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
I’m caught up in a spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
Spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da
Caught up in a spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
