All Instruments-Stevie Wonder
Music of My Mind is a landmark album by Stevie Wonder, released on March 3, 1972 when Wonder was only 21 years old. Many observers count this album as the beginning of Wonder's "classic period", though others look to the previous one or the following one. It is his fourteenth studio release.
Wonder returned to Motown in March 1972 with Music of My Mind. Unlike most previous albums on Motown, which usually consisted of a collection of singles, B-sides and covers, Music of My Mind was a full-length artistic statement with songs flowing together thematically. Wonder's lyrics dealt with social, political, and mystical themes as well as standard romantic ones, while musically Wonder began exploring overdubbing and recording most of the instrumental parts himself.
Mary wants to be a superwoman
But is that really in her head
But I just want to live each day to love her
for what she is
Mary wants to be another movie star
But is that really in her mind
And all the things she wants to be
She needs to leave behind
But, very well, I believe I know you-very well
Wish that you knew me too-very well
And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
Very well, and I think I can face-very well
Wish that you knew me too-very well
And I think I can cope with everything going through your head
Mary wants to be a superwoman
And try to boss the bull around
But does she really think that she will get by with a dream
My woman want to be a superwoman
And I just had to say good-bye
Because I can't spend all my hours start to cry
But, very well, I believe I know you
Very well wish that you knew me too
Very well, And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
Very well, think that I know you too
Very well, wish you knew me like I know you
Very well, but I think I can deal with everything going through your head
Your filthy head
Very well, dum dum da, dum dum da
Very well, wish you knew me too
Very well, And I wish I could think of everything going through your head
Very well, dum dum da, dum da, dum da
dum dum da, dum da, very well
And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
When the summer came you were not around
Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found
Where were you when I needed you-last winter, my love?
When the winter came you went further south
Parting from love's nest, leaving me in doubt
Where are you when I need you, like right now?
Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed
But tomorrow will reflect love's past
When the winter came you were not around
Through the bitter winds love could not be found
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?
Oh I need you baby, I need you baby
Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed,
But tomorrow will reflect love's past oh
Spring will fill the air and you will come around,
Well is it summer love that will let me down,
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
Where are you when I need you, like right now?
Right now, right now, right now
Where were you when I needed you last winter, my dear
I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby
Oh, Where were you when I needed you last winter, last winter
Yea, Need you Baby, need you, need you baby,
Oh, you want me too need you baby
Oh where were you when I needed you last, dear

I was searching, saw “ Stevie Wonder”, and immediately stopped! Im 66 years old and was born in Detroit. There are many artists that I enjoy, however, Stevie’s voice, multiple instruments, and more importantly, the lyrics! I saw him live once, in Detroit. He played for over 2 hours. For me, he is the ultimate artist. I can listen to “ Lately” , “ As”, or “ Another Star” over and over. Your mom gets it!!😘😘😘
Amazing Masterpiece … brings back memories wow!!🙏🏻❤️❤️🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏, I’m 62 years old, this is my kind of music ! One of my favorites
Yes! Keep those eyes closed!!!
One of my favorite songs
I love this for you 🥰
New subscriber here. Thank you for reviewing this brilliant masterpiece!!
"Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)" is one of Stevie's best compositions. He was the first to truly herald his use of the synthesizer as a vital emotional ingredient of his music. This song is actually in two quite different parts. The first one is a lovely mid-tempo ballad with gently seductive singing and superb high backing vocals. Once that part is over in earnest, the tempo slows down considerably, and we are now taken into a whole new world. The wailing T.O.N.T.O. synthesizer, anguished and intensely melodic, starting off as a solo like a supplement to Stevie's singing before becoming a pervasive harmonic component, is utterly sublime and totally unlike anything heard in the world of R&B or indeed any kind of popular music before. But that's not the only part that makes this song so great. The caressing soft electric guitar fills and solos, those characteristically rich harmonizations and modulations, all come together in a magical and unforgettable musical experience.
He was truly a pioneer in terms of using modern technology to compliment his musical compositions. I think the creators of TONTO didn't really get the credit they deserved for their brilliant contributions to Stevie's sound during what many consider to be his classic period.
@@williegriggs9238 I completely agree that Stevie Wonder was a pioneer in using modern technology to enhance his music. And you make a great point about the creators of TONTO not receiving the recognition they deserve for their contributions to Stevie's sound. The TONTO synthesizer was a groundbreaking piece of equipment that allowed for new and innovative soundscapes, and it's clear that Stevie's collaborations with its creators had a major impact on his music during his classic period. It's important to recognize the behind-the-scenes work and contributions of those who help shape an artist's sound and vision.
This song takes you to outer spaces
1972 ! That was his 13th album or 14 th . He was only 22 years old ( for all you Younghans ) listen and let that sink in, and 26 when he wrote songs in the keys of life
It's so great that you want to pass down the great music of the past.
Stevie and Prince are my favorites and they were very close .
Please play Colonized Mind by Prince with lyrics.
You're comments were SPOT ON! That a song you experience.
Please note that Stevie is playing every instrument (minus guitar) and singing all vocals (lead and background).
This is CREATIVE and brings back sounds and lyrics that spark the imagination. 🔥🔥🔥
I understand your emotional response to Stevie Wonder's song "Superwoman". The song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and relationships, and the pain that can come from feeling let down or abandoned by someone we love.
The song "Superwoman" is a powerful and emotional reflection on the challenges of navigating a relationship, and the importance of valuing and cherishing the people we love, even in the face of uncertainty and challenges. The pain and sorrow in Stevie Wonder's voice speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and loss, and the song has resonated with listeners for decades.
The song "Superwoman" by Stevie Wonder is a reflection on a relationship in which the singer's partner, Mary, wants to be a "superwoman" and achieve great things. However, the singer is more interested in loving Mary for who she is, rather than trying to change her or push her towards a particular goal.
The lyrics suggest that Mary is somewhat conflicted in her desires, wanting to be a movie star and boss others around, but also needing to leave those ambitions behind. The repetition of the phrase "very well" throughout the song suggests that the singer believes he knows Mary well, and can cope with the ups and downs of her emotions and desires.
The second half of the song shifts to a different theme, in which the singer reflects on a lost love and the pain of being left alone. The lyrics suggest that the singer's former partner was not there for him in his time of need, and that he is still longing for their love to return.
Overall, "Superwoman" is a complex and emotional reflection on love, desire, and the challenges of navigating a relationship. The lyrics suggest that love can be both beautiful and painful, and that sometimes we have to let go of our own ambitions and desires in order to truly love and appreciate the people in our lives.
The lyrics you mentioned: Spring will fill the air and you will come around Well, is it summer love that will let me down
The singer is reflecting on a lost love and wondering if their former partner will come back around in the spring. The lyrics suggest that the change of seasons and the arrival of spring may bring about a renewed sense of hope and possibility.
However, the line "Well, is it summer love that will let me down" suggests that the singer is also wary of getting hurt again. The idea of "summer love" suggests a fleeting and temporary romance that may not last, and the singer is questioning whether their former partner's return will truly be a positive thing or if it will ultimately end in disappointment.
Overall, these lyrics are a reflection on the uncertainty and hopefulness of love, and the fear of getting hurt again after experiencing a painful breakup. The arrival of spring represents a sense of new beginnings and hope for the future, but the singer is also aware of the potential for disappointment and heartbreak.
And the other lines as well you said: Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed
But tomorrow will reflect love’s past
These lyrics suggest that the singer's relationship with their partner has come to an end. The line "Our love is at an end" is a clear statement of this fact. However, the next line, "But you say now you have changed", suggests that the partner is trying to win the singer back by claiming to have changed for the better.
The final line, "But tomorrow will reflect love's past", suggests that the singer is skeptical of their partner's claims and is unsure whether to believe them. The use of the word "tomorrow" suggests a sense of uncertainty and unpredictability, and the idea that love's past will be reflected in the future suggests that the singer is aware of the potential for history to repeat itself.
Overall, these lyrics are a reflection on the complexities of love and the challenges of navigating a relationship. The singer is grappling with the end of a relationship and the possibility of reconciliation, but is also aware of the potential for disappointment and heartbreak. The lyrics suggest a sense of uncertainty and hesitation, as the singer tries to determine whether their partner's claims of change are genuine or not.
I'm lucky #7 subscriber.. many of us younger folks wasn't paying attention to the words of the classics when we were younger and we missed alot of self development because of that.. and now that style music is hidden from common folks because it's no longer main stream pushed.. and thats sad but glad you bring the classics back to a form of appreciation... wish I understand the message back then
The greatness of this song is exemplified by the fact it is done by the three greatest musical geniuses of our time~~Stevie, Quincy and Donny. I don’t think there is a better testament. Stevie Wonder is truly the greatest musical genius the world has known to date.
Wonderful music.
Stevie is a national treasure. Best concert ever went to was Stevie in 1989.
Amazing.
One of the first albums I bought with my own money from my own job was Stevie's Musiquarium and I played it to death.
This song is a part of the , musical song tack of my life.
I love it...
I am a bigger fan of stevie than your mom: I am also thankful to my mom who shared her love of jazz with me
I think he played all the instruments on that album, not 100 percent sure , but of anyone knows, let me know
All but the guitar
He was still with motown they just moved to The Tamala division. They had more freedom on Tamala
I still play Stevie’s albums like they just released. He wrote the most beautiful lyrics when it came to ballads. I never really understand the Superwoman lyrics either,to be honest , yet I love the song!
There was so much competition/talent in music to choose from (in the 70s). I would've loved to be a kid during that time. I grew up in the 90s, when music was gradually declining in quality. 90s were still ok, but nowhere near 70s. And I won't even talk about 2000s... garbage.
Music is personal.
