Morcheeba is a British band that mixes influences from trip hop, rhythm and bluesand pop. The word "morcheeba" means "the way of marijuana" ("Mor" - the middle of the way & "Cheeba" - informal name of marijuana). Formed in the mid-1990s, they consisted of Paul Godfrey ( dj), Ross Godfrey on guitar and keyboards with Skye Edwards as the primary vocalist fronting the band. While churning up interest through an underground presence mostly in London, the band finally broke through when featured on the Ultra-Chilled series. Their first two releases seemed to portend a trip-hop based modern psychedelia that they seemed to completely eschew for a meatier, beatier, mom pop-centric sound on 2000's "Fragments Of Freedom".

Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin
And the cotton is high
Your mamas rich
And your daddys good lookin
So hush little baby
Dont cry
One of these mornins
Youre gonna rise up singin
Youre gonna spread your wings
And fly to the sky
But til that moment
Nothin can harm you
With your daddy and mummy
Standin by
One of these mornins
Youre gonna rise up singin
Youre gonna spread your wings
And fly to the sky
But until then
Nothin can harm you
With your daddy and mummy
Standin by
With your mum and your dad
Standin by
