If there's anything you'll ever need to know about me or this blog, is that I'm not one of those people who knows "new" or "old" music to great depths, but the music that I do know, and appreciate, well, that's just it. I appreciate it, and this blog is just my little way of saying thanks.

J. Cole - Unabomber
This has always made me think. His word play is just right on point. I had the opportunity to go and see him live but no one to go with. Sometimes I wish I knew the right people who would listen to the stuff I do. But then again I could've gone on my own. Not like I need people with me when I do other things that I love.

If there's ever a song that I could describe as vibrant. It would be this.
Nagada Sang Dhol -Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela
I watched the movie in the cinemas and I can honestly say it was such a good experience. The whole story, the songs the script, the acting. It was definitely and insight on the vibrancy and dramatic nature of Indian culture. The song has motivated me to go to dance auditions for a play next year. Something to add to the list of things to do in life.

One and only - Adele
I walked into my flat mates room today and she had this playing. It's like my life has continuous background music.

Yashoda ka Nandlala (Sanjog)
Zu zu zu zu zuuuuu. This was played on the video tape of my brothers Lohri, when my mum is holding him as a little bubba. The bond between a mother and a son is shown in this song. It makes my maternal side itch. If there's one thing that I want to be in life, it's a Mother. I would play this song repeatedly if I'm lucky enough to have a baby :o)

Foo Fighters - Home
I dedicate this to the woman in my life, that helped me spread my wings by believing in my academic potential. She never let me down. She was so beautiful. Always so perfect. That grace. That poise. She was always so sharp. The amount of times I broke down in front of her, and she held me like her own. I still can’t understand why this happens. They say the good die young. But this is just a reality to harsh for my understanding. I still remember the day she walked in with her son, and that smile on her face. I regret not being able to hold him. I don’t know what stopped me. To think that she wouldn’t even get to see his 8th birthday. My head is everywhere with this. I just wish she was here. It’s been a while since someone close to me has passed away. It’s scary how we only realise how we take each breath for granted when someone passes away. This song is for her. I feel like this is something that she would be feeling right now. But I just want her to know. She’s home. And we’re all going to join her one day. One day. May her soul, mind, body, existence, smile, sharpness, voice, sound, smell, laugh, tears and most importantly her everything, just rest in peace. Rest in peace Valerie Edworthy, rest in peace. xx

Nujabes - Reflection Eternal
Listening to this has made me feel that deep serenity, I cried whilst listening to this once. I realise how many songs can make me feel closer to him. This song in particular has the one line being repeated, and it’s almost as this song is perfect to help me in understanding where he is.
“You’re a flower, you’re a river, you’re a rainbow”

MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 - Lauryn Hill
Intro; I do not think that she could have started this off any more perfect than she did. Her shyness at the beginning shows us her realness, the fact that she’s still shy to express her emotions in front of the man she loves yet she can still express them to a room full of souls that she doesn’t know. I find that so strange about us as humans, how we can so easily open up to someone we don’t know, a complete stranger, yet we feel vulnerable when we want to show or emotions or tell someone we really love, something?
In the introduction she engages with the audience so well, you feel relaxed when she talks to you, you feel as if shes right there in the room with you, and she isn’t this big celebrity, shes just you. She’s just you but someone who has a beautiful voice that you can connect with. She even says “I used to dress up for y’all, I don’t do that anymore… I don’t have the energy, you might think i joke” and then that laugh of hers, wow, this part really shows me that she’s fallen to the ground, willingly. It’s like she had so much at the top, but she saw how hard and how deep she would fall. Yet she still did it. She just want’s that feeling of being who she is, not this media prepped up singer. She’s not a singer to me. She’s a vocalist; now this may mean different things to people, but to me, that means that she can vocalise her thoughts in a beautiful way. A singer is someone who sings something, anything, and it’s not necessarily deep or meaningful. It’s just a song. She’s not that to me.
She gives permission for people to interrupt her while she’s doing her thing. Now that is just mega cute, it’s like shes giving you permission to correct her if she’s saying something wrong, or to to ask her to expand on something you might not understand, I feel at this point, she already feels that the people won’t understand her. They won’t get the message. Little does she know, that not only will people get her message, but it will stay. It will stay in their hearts, minds, souls, wherever their belief is. And if they stop believing, they will just have to go back to it, and restore their faith.
Lauryn Hill, reduces everyone’s expectations of what she is about to do, by saying “if i stop if i start if i feel like saying baby baby baby for 18 bars, i do that”, this showcases that there’s no set way of what she is about to do, there’s no structure, it’s all open to everyone to interpret in their own little ways, and if she does make a “mistake” or if she wants to just chill. She’s going to do that. Because that’s what is real to her, and that’s what should be real to us.

The XX - Angels
Smoothing. It’s not a word. But this is really relaxing. Kind of restores my faith in Love. Just the way she describes it, the little sentences, everything just makes it seem real. It's this love that I feel for no one in particular but a love that I feel when I see people and just want to go up to each one and give them this massive hug and a big sloppy kiss on their forehead/cheek. It's this eternal humanity love. Whatever it is, I love feeling this love when I do. It's not all the time. But it's these sudden bursts.

TLC - No Scrubs.
"Sitting on the passengers side" that's all i ever remembered for a few years after hearing this repeatedly with the cousins when I was young. Then with the power of Google, I simply typed in the few lyrics I remembered and shabang. This has to be one of my motivating songs, something that keeps me feeling like I don't want no scrub, cos a scrub is a kinda guy that can't get no love from me.

Azealia Banks - 212
THIS. The way I go nuts when this song comes on in a club. You'd think it's one of those female empowering songs the way she sings it, the beat, the video. It's just dirt though. This song would never be good music for those against female oppression, but they might like the bridge.

Sabri brothers - Saqia aur pila
The way he used to play this, had us hooked. There was also an explanation I read to it somewhere. I'll find the link and put it in this post. Always a qwalli that will be close to my heart.

Lal chand Yamla Jatt & Mohinderjeet Sekhon - Do tara vajda ve.
So it wasn’t this exact song, but this was sampled. It was 2006/2007 when my aunt gave me these CD’s and there was this on it, just something that I need to remember but I don’t know why.

Loved the remix. Played it way too many times. Love the way I can move to this.

She needs a seperate blog. But I'm going to aim to write about each song from her Unplugged album.

Kendrick Lamar - Sing about me/ I'm dying of thirst.
If you want a story, then this is it. Probably the best thing of his album for me personally. Generally, I like more of Kendrick’s stuff when he’s telling a story, all the words just help me visualise something. In this, the way he fades out, the pauses, the speed, the switch, the words, the conversation, but the one thing that stands out the most for me, is the way he starts talking, and carries on until he needs a breath, it’s like he has so much to say about this, but there’s such little time, maybe that relates to the title, I don’t know. But it gives the song some sort of perfection.
Now, I’m assuming he’s put two songs in the one, the reason for the / between the titles. I listened carefully, and thought, hold on. The first part seems more appropriate to “I’m dying of thirst” and the second part seems more appropriate to “Sing about me”, or maybe both titles can be used for either part, I don’t know. I can’t stop over analysing this song.
Kendrick is right, the tongue is truly mighty powerful.
