We’ve been asleep at the switch yet again. It turns out that just before Easter, Florida group Hundred Waters (lead vocalist Nicole Miglis, Trayer Tryon, Paul Giese and Zach Tetreault) released a Skrillex remix of their heavenly song Show Me Love that featured Chance The Rapper, Moses Sumney and Robin Hannibal. The remix is a tour de force.

Last night the Colbert music mavens had the immense imagination to feature most of that entourage (replete with strings and backup singers) performing the song.  It’s a simply magical performance. Take an un-sad song….and make it better. We love everything about it, but particularly Chance’s Jamaican-toasting inflections and the joy of all on stage. Check the Colbert performance below, followed by the official video for the remix (lyrics at bottom).  Sooooo good.

Show Me Love (Skrillex Remix):

Don’t let me show cruelty
Though I may make mistakes
Don’t let me show ugliness
Though I know I can hate
And don’t let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love

(Moses Sumney)
I got a crick in my neck, limp in my step
Crampin’ in my muscles every time I try to flex
We’re broken
Not really in the right mindset to seem open, open
Never really been fought out, like a politician martyr
But you made me listen to your petition rise
Love, let’s get over
Baby I’ll show you love
All that I could do was remember you
You know I usually say no
But if you throw me love, I’ll throw you some more

Don’t let me show cruelty
Though I may make mistakes
Don’t let me show ugliness
Though I know I can hate
And don’t let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love

(Chance)
Show me love when I pop out, when I pop out
City I always talk ’bout, what I rap ’bout
Show me love cause I love it, I love it
Only thing I could covet, in public
I just came to show love, you just glad I showed up
Boy respect your elder, I’m a fucking glo’n up
Broski told me “Go nuts”, Fo Nem ain’t for No None
But no talkin’ at dinner, or to bacon that eat donuts
City on a come up, I might share my bonus
Cases of Coronas and my lil marijuana
I’m a face a whole dub, oz’s for my soldiers
Tell them haters hold up, them niggas gotta show love

Don’t let me show cruelty
Though I may make mistakes
Don’t let me show ugliness
Though I know I can hate
And don’t let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love

(Robin Hannibal)
I see you, you see me
Aliens hanging on, release me
Don’t let the feeling that I’m all alone deceive me
Just let me in and show me love

And don’t let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
And don’t let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
