"A Dream" - Donny Hathaway

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 10:16:05 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

I remember the first time I saw you
it was in some type of golden place
and as I became afraid
you said it need not be the case
then you took me in your arms
to try to show your loving charms
and you never laughed at me
as we began to love each other - tenderly

I tried to hold you close
like a man of experience
but it seemed you already knew
that this would be my very first chance
to hold someone in my arms
to try to show my loving charms
all (?) became firm and straight
just because I wanted to make love to you

each time I kissed your lips
we seemed to move to another land
then I saw you in the shower
of rain that came from the sky
but as you began to vanish away
it was in to my sadness
that I realized
it was a dream, it was a dream
all your arms and the charms
it was just a dream...

A bonus track on the Donny Hathaway classic "Everything is Everything", which before the CD came out had been previously unreleased.

This song needs to be "felt"! =) The end of the piece can't be missed! (of course in combination with the rest of the song;)

"I'm Goin' All The Way" - The Sounds Of Blackness

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 13:00:56 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

This is taken from one of my most favorite CDs in soul/gospel "Africa to America - The journey of the drum". I own it for more than 10 years now and still rather often listen to it.

Later I also bought two other records from "Sounds of Blackness"... on all three are quite a few really great tracks, but for personal reasons (concerning the lyrics) I chose to upload this one.

"Spanish Joint" - D'Angelo

Yves has posted a doc:

whenever it rains I feel this way
a little something 2 get me thorugh this
give me a little that, no time flat
gonna be a good thing

Serene but in need of feelin free
letting go and landing on my feet
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

Well people believe this saying is true
whatever will be will forever do
whatever the cost I'll pay in full
I ain't got nothing to do with you

Gotta get out gotta get out of here
I'm in the dark, and the light looks sincere
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

All U do is complain about your pain
and the cloud that follows U won't cease to rain
dont look back handle that
make it into a good thing

Something up in me gotta be
sole controller in control of me
a link in your chain, just won't do
I don't want nothin' 2 do with U

"Zoom" - The Commodores (with Lionel Richie)

Yves has posted a doc:

Oh I'd like to greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life, in my life
Well I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
Ohh but everyone finds the right way
Somehow
Somewhere
Someday

(Chorus)
Oh Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be

Oh I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come

(Chorus)
Oh Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be Hey...

Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom...

"That Lady" - The Isley Brothers

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 07:50:57 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

From the legendary '73 recording "3 + 3"

I found it quite late and then even also needed a little while more to explore the beauty of this CD and finally appreciated the whole record much more. :) Even if I loved "That Lady" immediately... it's just an aweseomely funky track. ;)

From the CD: "...They borrowed the high-voltage machismo from one of their early sideman - a guitarist named Jimi Hendrix - and they added their sweet and sweaty, gospel-drenched vocals to the powerhouse songs and multi-instrumental chops of the musicians of their own family. The result was a body-shaking revolution of the mind, the spirit and the soul."

"Get It On" - The Thirst

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 23:27:30 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

This song is taken from a great summer-soul-funk CD, also named "Thirst". A must-have if you're into this kind of music!

I can listen to it at any time of the year... it always puts me up and I remember automaticly hot summer days. ;)

"Love Invincible" - Michael Franti

Yves has posted a doc:

lyrics:

When I fall down, I need a helping hand.
And when I lose my head, it's cause it's always buried in the sand.
When I get stuck on myself, feelin' sorry for myself.
Will you help me grab a hold and please don't patrionize my soul.
When I start to lose control, when I get irrational, when I start to get too high,
you see me come floating by, I say

Touch me in the morning sun, when I feel impossible.
Touch me in the morning sun, show me what is possible.
Touch me in the morning sun when I feel impossible, show me what is possible.
Teach me love invisible, Teach me love invinsible, Teach me love invincible,
Teach me love invincible.

When your down, you need a helping hand.
And when you lose your head, I'll help you wash away the sand.
And when you get stuck on yourself, feelin' sorry for yourself.
I will help you grab a hold and I won't patrionize your soul.
When you start to lose control, when you get irrational, when you start to get too high,
I see you come floating by, I say
Touch me in the morning sun, when I feel impossible.
Touch me in the morning sun, show me what is possible.
Touch me in the morning sun when I feel impossible,
show me what is possible.
Teach me love invincible, Teach me love invincible

When we're down, we need a helping hand.
And when we lose our heads, it's cause they're always buried in the sand.
But when we get stuck on our selves, feelin' sorry for our selves.
Will you help us grab a hold and please don't patrionize our souls.
When we start to lose control, when we get irrational, when we start to get too high,
You see us come floating by, I say,

Touch us with the morning sun, when we feel impossible.
Touch us with the morning sun, show us what is possible.
Touch us in the morning sun when we feel impossible, show us what is possible.
Teach us love invinsible, teach us love invisible

Teach us love invinsible, hold us love ivinsible, share us love invinsible,
be us love invinsible, help us love invisible, touch us love invinsible,
breathe us love invinsible, sing it love invisible

"Feeling You" - Omar feat. Stevie Wonder

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:38:45 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

Omar, one of my favorite soul/r&b-artists of the 90s, on his latest record "Sing (if you want it)" shows that he still has it (after I didn't expect that he could surprise me anymore). Now I even think it's his best record to this point! And that he was able to work with people like Stevie Wonder shows his worth in this kind of music.

lyrics:

Talking of summer days enjoying in so many ways
taking time to soak some rays I'm feeling you
when you've been couped up for a while
it's nice to get out sometime
in the park play ball spread out I'm feeling you

I'm feeling you, hope that you're feeling me too
just like I'm feeling you...

when the sunshine comes after rain
like it's trying to soothe the pain
you can make bad things go away
I'm feeling you any time my skies have a cloud
want something to make me proud
when my life is full of doubt, I'm feeling you...

I'm feeling you, hope that you're feeling me too
just like I'm feeling you...

"Marvin, You're the Man" - Digable Planets

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 09:21:13 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

This is a very special track for me. A mixture of jazz/big-band, funk, soul and rap. So, all the styles I love in so called 'black music'. Kind of one of my absolute favorite songs of this kind... alone because it's just a very unique piece of music (even if I have examples that tried something similar later).

It's taken from the tribute-recording for Marvin Gaye compiled in 1995 (that I'm proud to have and love since about 1996). I already recommended this CD on this pic:
