... was an extremely peaceful night for me. I came home from work looked at some jobs online, and then went upstairs, showered, ate, and twisted my hair back. I had "The Original Quiet Storm on 96.3" playing in the background. My lights were dim, but not too dark for me to function. It was really nice.
Listening to all of those songs got me to thinking about love and how easy it used to be. When did it become hard? When did it become about what other people thought? When did it become about everyone else's feelings? What about the feelings of the two people involved? It used to be so easy....
Anywho... I have to make me a CD. Those songs hit the spot! Some were oldies and some I had never heard before. But of course, today, if you're not talking about money, sex, or women with Lil Wayne and T-Pain on the track, then your music will never get heard by the mainstream. You have to wait patiently for "The Original Quiet Storm on 96.3" (And you have to say it with a deep sensual voice like the guy does. hehe....) to come on.
India Arie has this song called "Good Mourning". It woke me up out of my sleep. (Yes, I fell asleep with the radio on). Her voice, the music- it was so beautiful! And on top of that, it seemed as though she was snooping in on my life when she wrote it. Why have I been sleeping on India?
And then "If Only For One Night" by Charles Earland & Najee. I love me some Najee. And that song- OH!!! I love it! I didn't know the song was 6 freaking years old?!?
And "No Rhyme, No Reason" by George Duke featuring Rachell Ferrell. That is a classic! Please, if you have never heard this song, go find it.
Bobby Caldwell- "What You Wont Do For Love" I've loved this song since I was a baby!
Frankie Beverly & Maze!! I could go on and on...
Anywho... It's cloudy outside. Just the way I like it. I'm still in my lazy, chilled out, mode. I wish I was at home, curled up on the couch doing absolutely nothing but listening to my smooth jazz/r&b and watching the candle's flicker.
*sigh*
"No Rhyme, No Reason"
