I mean really My goodness Like for real CHORUS You really need to stop it PAUSE Just around you the world don’t revolve really just stop it Pause Your mouth always tend to seem to be the cause You really need to take a break Pause Your whole entire act is late Pause I’m not even trying to relate Pause Deep breath Woosah Pause VERSE 1 I know you think the other side’s better Maybe dairy free and it’s got more cheddar Maybe a little greener so your lawn gets wetter So here come the freeze now I’m pulling out sweaters You give your mind too much credit When you conveniently forget that you said it You rely heavily on perception You just don’t seem to ever wanna even get it Your whole perception is jacked You’re always on the attack Rejecting all of the facts Then trip like a fiend on how we react Go to the extreme like you’re caught in a trap Saying sorry ain’t hard Just realize I didn’t give you the scars Just make sure it’s coming from the heart Just like the start Otherwise you really need to Pause VERSE 2 What’s your first step Will you ever admit it That you can grow love Then forget how to give it I ain’t tripping I know how it is busy with business So busy That You keep flooding out all of yo tenants Can’t live with ya and You can’t live without company You a snake You bending over backwards, Break.. tryna trust in me So uncomfortable that You can’t even comfort me I Know you got a lot to say But baby can you hush for me Don’t let that race you keep running Get you to rushing me I’ma watch my back If you gon keep backing up From me Now count it back from 3 To see that You was not the one for me That stuck with me Luckily I still care Temporarily still here But you can’t pause the play Every day that you feel fear Maybe you can’t relate And maybe you need some space Or maybe I’m in yo face But ima rewind this back girl Maybe you need a break cause

about

Harold Matthews Jr and DJ Fill – Pause feat. Syl Messi

Debuted on Harold Matthews Jr impeccable ‘Peripheral Vision’ LP sampler, ‘Pause’ is brimming with soul but set against a Hip Hop-meet-Broken Beat vibe and peppered with smooth Rhodes, niggly electronic arps and a bassline that ain’t letting you go. Chicago’s Harold and Syl Messi go head-to-head with the lyrics, bringing together a smooth and edgy vocal balance for something truly special and unique.

Chicago-based Harold wrote his first releases in the early 90’s with legends like Ron Trent, Terry Hunter, Maurice Joshua and Ron Carroll, with songs like ‘Ritual Of Love’ and Barbara Tucker’s ‘I Get Lifted’. Throughout the late 90’s he was well known under his Blak Beat Niks moniker with production partner K. Fingers and their releases on PAN Records. He had outings on the mighty Large Music, and his own label Melodious Fonk. Further projects followed with Slip N Slide, Mark Knight, Peppermint Jam, Glenn Underground, Makin’ Moves and Sean McCabe.

The original version is produced by our uber-talented close friend from Cardiff, DJ Fill (aka Phil Evans), who sadly passed away in March 2022. Over the years, Phil has produced and remixed under the Southern Divide moniker (alongside Justin Stride and Deli-G), for an impressive collection of credible artists and record labels such as Roland Clark, Randy Muller, Linda Clifford, Sabrynah Pope, Soulfuric, Mountain Records, Fluential, West End Records, Catch 22 among others. We’re absolutely honoured to be including his last production on this project.

We’re also stoked to bring one of the true innovators of the broken beat sound to the label too with the mighty Kaidi Tatham taking on remix duties. Picking up the tempo a little and weaving in his unmistakable craftsmanship from the off, it’s a real summer time inspired jam that takes the groove into a whole other musical journey.
