Blow your gills out
with Miles Davis, mellow n kind of blue
relax in black 'n white ways 'n days
all; all the jazz kit
Go on a blues Holiday Billie
away with the Jones’s Nora
get some Rays with Charles
Lenard needs his raincoat
he’s Cohen, hallelujah
hey that’s no way to say goodbye
Jason’s going 93 million Mras
to see if he can Bossa Nova
Amy’s gone the Winehouse with Mr Jones
Ronnie’s off up Scott
not Holland seeking Jools
or Lincoln looking for Abbey
with all; all the jazz kit
Immersed in Ethel Waters
Roberta took some Flack
and Charlie had to Parker
Ellington was no Duke
to some, 50 years ensemble king
he said; it don’t mean a thing
Courtney doesn’t Pine or sing
Benny, who stomped at the Savoy
was a Goodman, not a bad boy
Eartha wanted to be evil
but was so good
for Christmas she got nothing
she got nothing for Christmas
but had it all; all the jazz Kitt.
Lost in the rythym of the base and the blues. Sometimes It's like I'm here but I'm not, I can't lose.
The sweet sense of the spanish guitar taking my spirit away as I travel far, far, far, far.
Away from the city the dirt and the grime. Away from the shootings and other senseless crimes.
Rocking with Rob Base, Far Away with Marsha Ambrosious- quiet, serene, in a place where all is quite harmonious.
Sometimes when things not going right in my life I just get lost in a beautiful verse with Lyfe--Jennings that is, and it makes everything absolutely WaterTight hmmmm Must be Nice.
Arguing with my husband nobody soothes my pain like the greats, Whitney, Monica, Gladys Knight too, Teena Marie, Ethel Waters and Minnie Ripperton, Loving you is Easy Because, You Should have known Better.
Homesick for my mothers sweet love, hearing Anita Baker's smooth voice pumping through the box, giving me my mama's touch I longed for so much.
Yes the Power of Music.
It can take you away from all of your pain, free you from your emotional chains, Change your mind, make you aware, The Music IS ALIVE INSIDE FOR ALL TO HEAR.
And I turn my headphones Up!
