Tin Pan Alley, Brill Building, you never had better than this. The chromatic content, and the harmonies made, in this song are mind-blowing - as for the intriguing poetry, I take it to be a devotional song - Christ is not mentioned by name and I'm sure Stevie wanted/left it that way. The only danger of misunderstanding here is that the listener might decide to worship this artist.
The 1st Christian Contemporary Artist ever has never been recognized by the GMA and that's my friend and mentor Stevie Wonder. If someone ever got the idea way back when that a Christian could put a message in a song and be heard by the world at large, it came from this brother right here. RECOGNIZE!
Y'all know that Stevie was talking about giving praises to God in this song, right? Check out the song @ 3:02 or 3:03 on out to til the end of the song for the major indications of that. Still a great song imo though!
There are none I can see so far, & I have a major in English... why can't such self- acknowledgement of spelling be used by those who REALLY need it?! :o)
You Tube never ceases to amaze me by the sheer volume of content and music on here...I thought I had "stumped the band" with THIS one, yet here it IS!! LOL
This is a great Live album and this song is the best lead-off hitter I have ever seen...Stevie ...timeless and priceless without the drama...just a sheer composer.
And to think he wrote this....not just the lyrics but the strings, horns, etc. as well. How dare anyone compare him to today's artists, or any artist, past or present! He is a true musical genius!!!
@TwelthSignENT Yes! Twelth, the Strings sociology is the BOSS..as well as the lyrics...I stole this one from it for my lady, "forever grateful for your sweet, sweet love" ;)
