    Riperton was married to songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph from August 1970 until her death in July 1979. Together, Riperton and Rudolph had two children; music engineer Marc Rudolph (born 1968), and actress and comedian Maya Rudolph (born 1972), a Saturday Night Live cast member from 2000 to 2007. Maya was a child when "Lovin' You" was recorded. According to the liner notes from Riperton's Petals compilation CD, the melody to "Lovin' You" was created as a distraction for Maya when she was a baby so that Riperton and Richard Rudolph could spend time together. Near the end of the unedited "Lovin' You", Riperton sings "Maya, Maya, Maya".

      @@haganmonet4810 Yeah, only mainstream music does that though. There are several indie artists that actively make music who have lyrics that are written to mean something.
      Also, people usually do acoustic versions where the vocals overlay the instruments and aren't edited. I.e. Cavetown, Chloe Moranio, Dhruv, Bruno Major, RINI, 88rising, Rex Orange County, etc.
      I agree that many mainstream artists do conform to what the original poster and you said, but there are just as many (if not more) that don't that make such a broad statement unfair to those artists that write meaningful lyrics and utilize vocals that are fairly stripped.

    Makin' love with you is all i wanna do
    Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
    And everything that I do is out of lovin' you
    La la la la la la la... do do do do do
    No one else can make me feel
    The colors that you bring
    Stay with me while we grow old
    And we will live each day in springtime
    Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
    And every day my life is filled with lovin' you
    Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through
    And every time that we oooooh
    I'm more in love with you
    La la la la la la la... do do do do do
    No one else can make me feel
    The colors that you bring
    Stay with me while we grow old
    And we will live each day in springtime
    Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
    And every day my life is filled with lovin' you
    Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through
    And every time that we oooooh
    I'm more in love with you

    最近、またこのメロディを聴くようになり、ココへの想いがこの曲そのものだと。
