[00:49.86] Though times have changed,
[00:51.61] It's still the same
[00:52.73] We all need a minute to get away
[00:54.53] So let it go and feel the flow
[00:55.88] If you've got soul, let the world know
[00:59.96] We're gonna set the mood (set the mood off right)
[01:04.13] Gonna go back to an old school groove (go back to an old school groove)
[02:21.15][01:08.53] Gonna rewind to another time
[01:13.16] When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah
[01:17.83] Here we say now
[03:13.85][02:30.95][01:18.60] So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
