Friday Sessions #47: ‘Keep on with the force’ – ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’, Jacob Collier
We are in full force this week! Today’s Friday session comes from Jacob Collier and his performance of Micheal Jackson’s famous track ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.’
‘Keep on with the force, don’t stop’ this lyric incorporates the phrasal verb ‘keep on‘ which is used in so many different contexts, meaning ‘to continue.’ You might hear this used when talking about projects, sports or any kind of action – working towards a goal or objective. How many other ways can we give motivation and encourage the action of continuing to do something? Here are a few common synonyms:
Go on – “Go on, you can do it!”
Carry on – “Just carry on doing what you’re doing, and you’ll be fine.”
Keep going – “Keep going, you’re nearly there.”
Press on – “Press on and stay focused.”
Push on – “Let’s push on a little further.”
As summer slips away and we are heading for a new season, maybe we need this new energy. So, keep on with the force!
Lyrics:
Lovely, is the feeling now
Fever, temperatures rising now
Power, is the force, the vow
That makes it happen
It asks no questions why
Ooh, so get closer
To my body now
And love me
‘Til you don’t know how (ooh)
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Touch me, and I feel on fire
Ain’t nothing, like a love desire (ooh)
I’m melting
Like hot candle wax
So let love
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Keep on with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Ooh
Heartbreak
Enemy despise
Eternal (oh, eternal)
Love shines in my eyes (ooh)
So let love
Take us through the hours
I won’t be complaining (oh, no)
‘Cause your love is alright, alright (ooh)
Keep on with the force don’t stop
