Let The Music Feed Your Soul

no validation's picture

There is so much feeling in music. It can feed your soul if you let it. You hear a song and it takes you back to a time, usually associated with the feelings you were experiencing at that time. Sometimes music can stir in you the feelings you WANT to experience. Let me explain what I mean. There was a time in my life that I wanted to put together certain parts of certain movies to explain how I wanted to feel with that someone special. Think back to the first time you saw the movie Set It Off. Remember that part where Blair Underwood was oiling down Jada, with the candles all around them? The song Don't Let Go by En Vogue was playing. Whew, just hearing that song today brings feelings of sensuality to my soul. How about Maxwells Sumthin Sumthin (the smooth mix) on LoveJones when they first made love? I can feel the desire when I hear that song today. I am going to name a few more………

Crazy Love by Brian McKnight- in Jason's Lyric when they were at the lake or Love Is Still Enough by Sovory when they were dancing in the bus depot…….mmmmmmm……

Love Of My Life by Erica Badu and Common from Brown Sugar when they kissed in her apartment…..Gotta love the feeling of that first kiss………My newest tattoo (I got it in Cali in August) is actually of that song....it is the "notes" for Love Of My Life.....

The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennett on My Best Friends Wedding when they are dancing on the Boat…..shows how hard it is sometimes to just say "I Love You"………

Love Don't Love Me by Eric Benet on The Brothers……

Harlem Blues on Mo Betta Blues or Never Again…….reminds you that Mo Betta is Mo Betta with someone you love…….

How about There You Go by Jonny Gill on Boomerang…When they first kiss after watching Star Trek, or I'd Die Without You by P.M. Dawn……Shows you what it feels like when someone can't breathe without you……..

Lets Stay Together By Eric Benet on A Thin Line Between Love and Hate…..shows you that sometimes what you are looking for is right in front of your eyes…….this song is one of the all time feeling songs for me……Imagine the love of your life singing it to you while making love to you……WHEWWWWWW….

Poetry Girl by Eric Benet and Wherever You Go by Signature from The Best Man……..This song and movie caused me to write some poetry myself……

If This World Where Mine by Luther and Cheryl Lynn on The Wood…..That first dance, that first love…..mmmmmmmmmm…….there's nothing like that first love……

Butterflyz the Remix by Alicia Keys on Drumline……Nothing like having your man hold and kiss you from behind………

Me & You by Tony Toni Tone' on Boyz In The Hood when they first made love…….shows even in hard times love can be beautiful and shine thru…….

And then there is True Color on Save The Last Dance…….That first time making love, the innocence of it just warms your heart.

So are yall feeling me on these, feeling how the music from these songs feeds your soul?

Now, it is not just the sensual feelings that can be brought out from songs in movies. For example, Dance Tonight by Lucy Pearl on Love and Basketball…..doesn't that just make you wanna let loose? How about take It To The Floor on You Got Served? Makes you wanna get up and dance, pop, break, slide, or SOMETHING as long as it involves moving to the rhythm, to the beat.

Music has the ability to express everything you are feeling, everything you want to feel, everything you can't or won't say……It has the ability to know the depths of your soul and FEED IT!!!!

I know some of these artists but almost none of the songs . . DH says I am stuck in a musical time warp, only listen to oldies and am surprised when I like a current song . . . but I get what you are saying
