Sideways (Feat. Citizen Cope)
Santana · Other Songs - Santana
For these thoughts here to leave me
There are no words to describe it
In french or in english
Cause diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
[Chorus:]
That these feelings won't go away
They've been knockin me sideways
They've been knockin me out, babe
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
Sideways (Feat. Citizen Cope)
This track by Santana features Citizen Cope and serves as a significant song in the band's extensive catalog of electronic and experimental recordings. Released during a period where Santana explored digital production and fusion with contemporary hip-hop and indie artists, the song reflects the group's willingness to evolve beyond traditional rock structures. The collaboration highlights the intersection of Santana's signature Latin-rock instrumentation with modern electronic textures, creating a sound that bridges generations of listeners. While not part of a major studio album release, the recording stands as a testament to the band's ongoing commitment to musical innovation and their engagement with diverse sonic landscapes in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
