today's post will b a bit controversial. but I've preppd for that by reminding u that this is MY list of faves that I've recorded...👀 there's such a stench surrounding my 1st record (j between u & me) - i can't get it outta my nose. and i would hav nevr revisited those songs had it not ben for the album's 15th Anniv last year. it presented an opp' 2 c what i felt about them. so, i took them round the block and they came back 2 me. i found a luv 4 them again. they became my own. particularly the 2 songs I'm presenting 2 u 2nite. that's right, I'm givn 2 for 1 this eve - since i know sum o y'all swear by that 1st album, i figure I'll double the dose and c if these don't make u see straight ;-) *do me 1 favor: listen 2 these n private. by urself. let them make luv 2 ur senses and then tell me if u can grasp the beauty of the amber that has swallowed ur ol' faves and now sits here as shiny new gems.
lyrics
what can i say (for Millicent)
she sleeps w the moonlight under her head
w the stars 2 keep her warm
far from the noise of the world below
she comes to me n my dreams
like a love song
and i awake only to hear her go
somewhere along the way
i lost the melody, and i
don't want the birds to sing
sing it to me
'cause i love to hate the feeling
don't wanna deal with the morning after
what can i say 2 keep it down?
what can i say 2 keep ur love around me?
she walks w me on pillows and stone
ever so lightly
and i pray to hear what she'll say
'cause somewhere along the way
i lost all of my hope and i
don't want the brand new day
to bring it to my window

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
