On a Wednesday evening in Miami, I drove to the studio with the original members of Mystix that included Deniz "Lead Singer", Lawrence "Lead Guitar", Rich "Bass" and Leo "Drummer". When we arrived to the studio to practice, Deniz and Laurence said that they wrote a Bubble Gum song. They showed it to Rich who then created a bass line for the song. Everyone in the group got a big laugh out of it. Even though we joked we kept working on the song. Without playing any instruments, everyone would rehearse harmonizing by singing together the two verses. I recorded the A-Cappella like singing of the song, but I did not post this to the blog; however the completed song is on the blog for your enjoyment.
The loose definition of "Bubble Gum Music" is simple lyrics with a sticky melody. Bubble Gum Music are catchy pop songs that were popular between 1967-1970 with groups like the Monkees, and Archies etc.
The song is called "You Keep On Breaking My Heart". The first two verses, the bridge and the chorus repeat through out the song with a couple of word changes in the later repeated verses. The group sing the verses together; Deniz sings the rest including the chorus. When listening to the chorus, you will hear "Heart" sang in the background. That is Leo on drums adding his vocal effect to the chorus. The song was fun to do; and you can even hear towards the end a little laughter from Deniz. ***However in the Mystix tradition you still have a hard rock guitar solo in the middle of the song played at the same time with the catchy bass line. Keep in mind this is a practice session recording of low quality; the song was never professionally recorded. Please listen to the bubble gum song and write your comments. Below are the lyrics to the song so you can sing a-long when you listen.
You Keep On Breaking My Heart - Lyrics
When you're walking down the street
You're the girl I have to meet
Leather and lace doesn't fit your style
Come on baby let's sit for a while
I feel your love when I look in your eyes
Are you ready for paradise
Watch me baby I'll hold you tight
Together loving through the night
Babe I love you so
Babe don't go don't go
Babe I love you so
Please don't go
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby
When you're walking down the street
You're the girl I have to meet
Leather and lace doesn't fit your style
So come on baby let's sit for a while
I feel your love when I look in your eyes
Are you ready for paradise
So hold me baby and I'll hold you tight
Together loving through the night
Babe I love you so
Babe don't go don't go
Babe I love you so
Please don't go
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby
When you're walking down the street
You're the girl I have to meet
Leather and lace doesn't fit your style
So come on baby let's sit for a while
I feel your love when I look in your eyes
Are you ready for paradise
So Watch me baby I'll hold you tight
Together loving through the night
Babe I love you so
Babe don't go don't go
Babe I love you so
Please don't go
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby - heart
You keep on breaking my heart
Oh baby
Heart heart heart heart
Heart heart heart heart
