i bought this cd when it came out.. this is the standout song for sure! my favorite of 2009. bilal also has a great song on terrance blanchards cd called "When will you call" dude is the best
Even just the lyrics can make you shed a tear, then factor in the vocal delivery from bilal and the brilliant back drop of Robert Glasper and you have one of the most beautiful songs
A masterpiece of commerce and emotion. Blurs the line between poetry and music. You are overwhelmed with the powerful lyrics and the perfect vocal delivery! Easily one of the most beautiful written and performed in the last 40 years. Enjoy it over and over again....
now this is what i call music. Not too much music on the mainstream that makes you feel like you just had an experience when you listen to it. It says something when a song makes you get a funny, but good feeling one the inside. This is one of those songs for me. Great musicianship!!
So I definitely played this four times back to back and have no intentions on stopping anytime soon.....Robert Glasper and Bilal are excellent musicians who have created a tremendous jazzy-yet-soulful piece of life shortened into 6:38 ....
wow, this song is soooooooo grown up chilled it's unreal.... what a sublime piece of harmonic elegance...I feel automatically richer from listerning to it once, let alone for the rest of my days... danke
This piece of music is wonderful with Bilal on vocals it's amazing. i can't stop myself from listening to it. I wish I could hear this version live. The piano blows you away. Then the lyrics put you back together again...
omg!!! I heard Bilal sing this at the Blue note and I wanted it so bad. I didn't know it was actually recorded. At the time he was singing it out of his song notebook. uhh Love it!
I went to the Robert Glasper Experiment show in Tokyo the other week, excellent. I just love how he breaks off at a tangent and kinda "does his own thing" in a completely different key and tempo. Then comes back 5 mins later to join the rest of the group.
if you like this please support and buy these artists records and songs. the singer, bilal, a genius musician in his own right is stuck in a record industry that doesn't know how to market him properly. his last album, an r&b masterpiece was shelved. this is a blight on humanity where 95% of commercial music is fit for the garbage dump. keep it coming bilal!!!!
This is just amazing! I NEVER get tired of hearing it. And Bilal is just a priceless entity. This rocks. Hope to run into Robert again. Met him up in VIP in Hollywood about 2 years ago. HELLA cool cat!
@SoundOfGoldRecords Could anyone write the lyrics... I really love this song, can't help it, but have listened it over and over again...and again and again....
@wisething62...yes, this man would be a contemporary to Monk if he were alive...I should know...my uncle is the last of the living legends (aka Rollins).
@arthurborgnis Merci pour ce gentil commentaire Karine. Quelques concert en prévision cet été ? Moi je fais David Sanborn & George Benson le 15 juillet et peut être Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea ...... et maybe Prince fin juillet ;-) Bises
I am really interested in the lyrics and song..I love the word and it is so meaningful to me...Yeah, exactly..inspirational to me~ Can somebody tell me what is the time signature in this songs?
