Mr Heron In A Very Sentimental Mood, From His Spirits Album.

So sad to learn of the death of one of my musical heroes, Mr. Gil Scott-Heron. Just when life seemed to be taking a positive turn for him, he was still riding high on the strength of last years critically acclaimed album "I'm new here". The album which reinvigorated his musical career, and put him back on track.
Alongside Brian Jackson, listening to their albums these were the guys who really woke me up to the social issues of the day. With spoken word alongside great music they tapped into the frustration of the masses.
They touched on subjects such as Apartheid, Nuclear Power, Illegal Immigration, World History, Slave Labour, U.S Politics, as well as Drug and Alcohol abuse. Gil Scott-Heron will always be remembered as the one artist who was "consistently" willing to expose "truths" behind social injustice and the political issues of the day.
But let's remember beneath all the rage lay a tender heart that was also capable of sharing deep personal emotion, such as this gem.
Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 -- May 27, 2011)

  • This songs speaks to me, right to my heart. I wronged my lady and she doesn't know how much I regret it and how much her tears leave me sleepless. When I get my shit together I will redeem what I did, I am gonna give her a call and make her feel loved. I want to be a better man, I want to be good and worthy, Thank you Gil, for teaching me a lesson in a language only my heart understands.

  • to the men that had went off on your lady for no reason listen to what he is saying and get your woman back and the same for us ladies too.

  • @kendra3136.. You’re so right, when the dust settles; all too often pride rears its ugly head. Those words... “When I get back to my life...I’ll give her a call”.. many of us can no doubt relate to this sentiment,… be it the wife, girlfriend, sister or even daughter, just knowing she or he will forever be in your corner,…Until!!... Give her a call!..Thanks!
