U Are In My System (a Discobody systematic boogie)
The synth R&B duo The System was founded in 1982 in N.Y. by vocalist/guitarist Mic Murphy and genious keyboardist David Frank.
"You Are in My System", which combined hi-tech synths with emotional vocals, was their senond single that ultimately reached iconic status and peaked at #10 in the U.S. R&B charts and #14 on the U.S. Hot Disco/Dance charts in 1982. A year later Robert Palmer covered it and hit #4 on the latter charts.
On this mix I work on The System’s bass-driven recording which I slightly prefer infusing bits of Palmer’s take. Also I include parts of the System’s Spanish version “Tu Estas En Mi Systema” released in 1983. Vocal rearrangement, extra synthlines / hi-hats / percussion & bass complete the picture. Enjoy :)
This version’s lyrics:
“System,
Systema
Oh, you’re in my system
You keep my body alive baby
Oh, you are, you’re in my system
I see you day and night and night now
Oh, you are estas en mi-my system
I just want you to know that
Oh, you are, en mi-my system
Everything you need
Oh, you’re in my soul
You keep my body alive baby
Oh, you are, you’re in my soul
I see you day and night and night now
Oh, you’re in my soul
You keep my body alive baby
Oh, you are, you’re in my soul
I keep on pushin’ baby
You’re in my soul
Love's got control
Just can't get enough
Of your lovin' touch
It's a romantic vision
Of me and you
Holding hands on Sunday
And Monday too
Oh baby, you are in my system
I just want you to know that,
Oh, you are
You're in my system, system, system
You know my daydreams stop
My heart beats on
I can't take it anymore
It's you I live for, ho, baby
You are in my system
I just want you to know that, oh
You're in my system
Got me burnin', burnin', baby, oh
Ooh, You're in my system, oh
You're in my system
Don't you, don't you, don't you know that, baby
I see you in my mind
I will keep on pushin', pushin'
Until I get through
My main objective, baby
Is to get to you
Turn your mind around
I know it takes time
But you know I can't wait, no
You're on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that
Ooh, you are in my system
Got me burnin', burnin', baby
You are in my system
I just want you to know that
Ooh, you are, you're in my system
I keep on pushin', baby
Day by day
And night by night
I see you in my mind
It happens all the time
There's no doubt in my mind
That's I've been true, baby
You know I'll take you out
And I keep love new, oh, baby
Tu estas en mi systema…” -
