lyrics

A girl once lived in a basement
Stuck in her own entrapment
Living off scraps and presents
Scraping away at her patience

If she squinted just right
She could see some daylight
And what a delight it would be
To be outside
Just playing all day
And laughing away
Oh, what a delight it would be

A girl once lived in a basement
Self-imprisoned in darkness
Waiting for horse and carriage
To whisk her away from this sadness

If she wished really hard
And sang out real loud
Then some passerby’s bound to
Pass and hear the sound
But nobody cares
Cause no one’s out there
So she’ll sing a song till she’s dead

If she wished really hard
And sang out real loud
Then some passerby’s bound to
Pass and hear the sound
But nobody cares
Cause no one’s out there
So she’ll sing a song till she’s dead

Where Is My Mind? - Single
by The Good Johnsons

Mostly electro-lounge, dance versions of songs from your parents' favorite decade. The Carpenters, Tom Jones, Mama Cass, they're all in there. Take a stroll and listen! Lorrie Doriza

The Wind Remixes
by Dutch

supported by 4 fans who also own “Girl in the Basement”

Bright Cold Day came out of nowhere, and breathed life into my love for Trip-Hop again. The Wind Remixes take already amazing songs, and poses them from a different perspective. The production is very good 10/10 without exaggeration, some of the best music I've ever heard is from Dutch. tetractys

Intransit Instrumentals
by Red Martina

One of the most unique and underrated producers in hip hop. Nothing sounds quite like Stoupe. My favorite track is Bedtime for Bonzo. I would buy all his JMT albums in instrumental form if i could. jpeg1000
