Janelle is freaking awesome... She has actually managed to capture the essence of a bygone era, give it a modern spin, and make it an awesome piece from both ways. This album reminds me of a very delicious combination of the 1960s and a glowing, neon-lit sci-fi future as envisioned at that time, and with a touch of soul, of course! The world needs more popular artists with her level of class and talent!
the only love my heart approaches, your lonely eyes fill mine with roses
like a lonley matador at nigh, fighting through the darkness of the light- a true lyricist.. i feel like im watching a movie in my head listening to this. better yet i feel like im in egypt atop a camel in the moonlight across the desert sands overlooking the pyramids..
okay 1 i didnt even realize this was janellle. it sounds llike a white woman in a old hollywood film in the 20s. i mean her vesatility is amazing. she really had me fooled
it reminds me of Bali Ha'i, though somewhere in outerspace? lol. it was overdramatic for me at first, but has grown into a keeper. such intoxicating voice!
This song reminds me of being in like Copa Cabana and hearing this, while sipping a nice drink. Reminds me of the 40's or something. Very amazing song. I love songs that can take you some place.
@valenecia she say the same ,in spanish and english Ojos miran hacia la luna Evitan un mundo tan triste Dominado bajo el odio Donde el amor no existe Dame en su reino refugio De la oscuridad peligrosa Espero en la esquina, Querida Busco la llamanda amorosa Eyes look to the moon Avoid a world so sad Ruled under the hate Where there is love Give me refuge in his kingdom In the dark dangerous I hope in the corner, Dear Seeking the love Call us
This song left me breathless. i was excited and ready for more when i first heard this. i been listen to the whole cd for like 4 days straight and im still not tired of it. I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It tells a story, creates a movie and an adventure all at the same time. thats just my opinion. I Love me some Janelle Monae! Thats my baby!
What's the song about?
It's enigmatic because her voice is so passionate & the beat is too!
Someone tell me!

@EmpressSakama16 i think the song she is singing is about how she feels toward a person she has feelings for when they are with her or not

Feels like a West Side Story mix with Bossa Nova. It's different... I can't tell if I like it just yet. It's something interesting though.
