She tries so hard to hold on chasing innocence for far too long she knows its gone cause she's always afraid all the time But when I see her smile, then I feel fine I can't say no, I can't say yes To her legs in that purple dress give me a drink so the moment can slow me down We can just stay here awhile and not make a sound My heart battles its bad habits Don't want to scare her away First chances go so fast, I want this to last Raw and true, this one's new When I lose my way, I will say I'm sorry for the pain I cause But there's a light at the end of the other side I don't expect anything else when you are by my side Race her to the answer or we'll just be Live spontaneously, Fly free In this moment, one of a string of many No need to resent the one, or the many Lying next to me, comfortably She forgets that she's in the nude and then she asks me, "Where are my clothes?" I don't know I hope she doesn't find them so she doesn't go I don't want her to, I don't want her to, I don't want her to Go, go, go I don't want her to, I don't want her to, I don't want her to Go

about

“Drifting” is Kmang Kmang’s debut album. The songs are instrumental at heart while some evolve into lyrics. The results are driven compositions with balance of catchy hooks and more expansive, improvisatory moments, polished with musicians Ung scouted at local Chicago shows. Ung brought together a core of players who can handle everything from thrash to manouche jazz, from Sinatra to Zakir Hussein.

“Drifting” moves from shadowy prog rock exuberance to a brighter, softer waltzing feel. Highlighting violinist Brandi Berry‘s uniquely keening, soaring sound, “Lullaby” rocks with a solid, sinuous bass (Sam Filip) and drums (jazz veteran John Fortin), while the guitar jumps between rhythmic rattles and resonant textures. The artfully arranged “Sulpa” takes a fresh, bassy look at a traditional Cambodian welcoming song, a piece Ung had often heard but experienced in a new way thanks to Chicago-based trumpet innovator and Cambodian music explorer, David Young.
