Roll Big

Roll Big is a song about those times when you just got to dance. 

We’ve felt it, the irresistible desire to dance. There are times when the body follows its own kinetic potential, submitting to a rhythm’s unremitting mandate.  At a more basic part of us resides a language of movement which resinates and flourishes when we dance together.  This primordial logic is legacy programming from a more ancient time . . . even before the 70s.

Roll Big (Music and Lyrics by Sean Riley)

I’ve felt the truth of funk
And the bliss of sway
I know my 1 and 3 
But 4 is where I play

Arch your back
Lean right in
I’ll mind where we go  
Syncopated babe
That’s it down below

Roll big 
Dance sexy
Roll big
Dance sexy

Keep the course but use the floor
Feel the swing through your hair
Let the rhythm push you
Bystander do beware

Shake it down, shake it down
Right there to the shame
Syncopated babe
Hold still your to blame

Roll big 
Dance sexy
Roll big
Dance sexy
