Name: 7 Lifetimes
Duration: P00H06M36S
Description: Written in 1986 & never recorded (except on cassette during a live performance in 1990, with Rafique Rashid on fretless bass). This very basic home recording was made a few weeks ago using a Yeti Blue USB mic & Audacity editing software. It certainly could do with a fretless bass overdub.

lyrics

You dropped in on me
Right out of the sky
I just wanna thank you girl
For getting me high
Just wanna thank you beautiful angel
For helping me fly
All I wanna do is thank you baby
Thanks for making me cry

Thanks for 7 weeks in heaven
7 weeks in heaven with you
7 wonderful weeks in paradise

I don’t know how this whole thing started
But I know I don’t want it to end
Though you and I we’re parted now
I hope we’ll get together again
Even though you hardly call or write to me
You know I’ll always be your friend

After 7 weeks in heaven
7 weeks in your loving arms
7 weeks in paradise
Let’s try for 7 lifetimes

Living in this crazy world
Makes me feel I’m in hell
But loving you pretty baby
Makes me feel absolutely well
Wo-oh-wo I’m so in love with you
Darling baby can’t you tell

After 7 weeks in heaven
7 weeks in your loving arms
7 wonderful weeks in paradise

They say heaven is having fun
With that special someone
Well you can stay a week you can stay a month or even a year
And if you never ever leave me
We could stay in love forever
What else can we do?

7 weeks in heaven baby
Much better than 7 years in tears
7 weeks in paradise
Let’s try for 7 lifetimes

about

Guano Breath Malaysia

My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm not too embarrassed about it.

Collaborations with others & freestyle choreographic works form an integral part of my archive.

I enjoy being the world's least ambitious musician. ... more

Loitsu - Seitsentähdet

Finnish wizard Roni Kurkijávri visited Magick River 11 years ago & recorded me on bamboo flutes for one of his albums. I like his quirky, passionate output. Guano Breath

Plug Out The Machines

Right out of Malaysia's nearly extinct musical fringe emerges a bona fide talent named Hameer Zawawi, idiosyncratic singer-songwriter with his own unique style. Guano Breath
