Still Standing- Pharoahe Monch
This record speaks to me on SO many levels! It's just what it says. Still Standing despite all adversities, you're still standing! Not to mention Pharoahe captured the energy in the music that makes you feel all sorts of powerful even after going through so much in your life... my life.
Make Yours A Happy Home- Gladys Knight & The Pips
I went to a Raphael Saadiq show 4/15 and the DJ played this record while we were waiting for him to come out. I shazaamed it and found it and been stuck ever since. My cousin reminded me that this is one of my Grandfathers favorite records along with all the other Blues he's put me on. Initially it was the music that caught my ear, not so much the lyrics. As I kept replaying it over and over all weekend, I realized there was more to it for me. I call this the love/engagement song. My best friend just proposed to his Girlfriend over the weekend and listening to this song makes me realize what they mean for each other and also what you should be in a relationship to "Make Yours A Happy Home" =)
Enjoy the Sun- Theophilus London
Simple lyrics, dope music I do just love everyone and just enjoy the sun! Life is too short to be bogged down with worries or frowns.
Sigh No More- Mumford & Sons
Right at the 1:50 mark is where I fall in love with this song!
So Low- Talib Kweli
No real reason, Kweli is just one of my favorites and I love this record!
Peace & Love- Mandrill
"Now it's time, I think, and I think you'll agree oh
To love thy neighbor and set all men free
So take the shackles from the wings of the dying dove
And permit her to fly away to peace and love yeah"
Out of My Head- Lupe Fiasco f/ Trey Songz
I hate that I love this song. Kudos to Lupe for successfully making a song to keep his backpackers happy while getting the more commercial listening pop fans to pay attention! It's a good record but it's not conducive to actually getting someone out of your head when you know they shouldn't be there =\
