Even just the lyrics can make you shed a tear, then factor in the vocal delivery from bilal and the brilliant back drop of Robert Glasper and you have one of the most beautiful songs
I went to the Robert Glasper Experiment show in Tokyo the other week, excellent. I just love how he breaks off at a tangent and kinda "does his own thing" in a completely different key and tempo. Then comes back 5 mins later to join the rest of the group.
@wisething62...yes, this man would be a contemporary to Monk if he were alive...I should know...my uncle is the last of the living legends (aka Rollins).
So I definitely played this four times back to back and have no intentions on stopping anytime soon.....Robert Glasper and Bilal are excellent musicians who have created a tremendous jazzy-yet-soulful piece of life shortened into 6:38 ....
I am really interested in the lyrics and song..I love the word and it is so meaningful to me...Yeah, exactly..inspirational to me~ Can somebody tell me what is the time signature in this songs?
@Jazzyjune06 Honestly...it's in 4:4....it just has Chris Daddy Dave on set....so he hears (and plays) in all time signatures...at the same time...lmao
This piece of music is wonderful with Bilal on vocals it's amazing. i can't stop myself from listening to it. I wish I could hear this version live. The piano blows you away. Then the lyrics put you back together again...
now this is what i call music. Not too much music on the mainstream that makes you feel like you just had an experience when you listen to it. It says something when a song makes you get a funny, but good feeling one the inside. This is one of those songs for me. Great musicianship!!
sighs! soulchalista posted this on her site last year...Bilal performed this during a sound check for a show he was doing and she just so happened to have a blurry video recording, but I watched everyday just to hear this so. I have no words for this...its just brilliant! beautiful
Fans of this album be sure to delve into Glasper's back log of albums on Blue Note his 1st Canvas & In My Element are great. Also the Bonnaroo live set is awesome! The trio are God like. Glasper is a Jazz GOD.
Chris Dave is sheer Brilliant and an innovative drummer with a original sound & feel. Vicente Archer is a soild groove meister offering rock soild support. Check out these fantastic young jazzers.
omg!!! I heard Bilal sing this at the Blue note and I wanted it so bad. I didn't know it was actually recorded. At the time he was singing it out of his song notebook. uhh Love it!
if you like this please support and buy these artists records and songs. the singer, bilal, a genius musician in his own right is stuck in a record industry that doesn't know how to market him properly. his last album, an r&b masterpiece was shelved. this is a blight on humanity where 95% of commercial music is fit for the garbage dump. keep it coming bilal!!!!
@SoundOfGoldRecords Could anyone write the lyrics... I really love this song, can't help it, but have listened it over and over again...and again and again....
This was the last song that was played at a party in LA that I attended...oh wow! EVERYONE, including myself was on the dancefloor cutting up, LOL! I love the message...very spiritual and moving (my opinion).
didnt know about him until yesterday and i like this song its amazing. im about to look out some of his other stuff
