"A change is gonna come"


I wish I could just forget everything and from now on, just live "in music" if that's even possible. Would I miss anything? Past experiences, where would they go? How could I miss something I don't remember? Would it be possible to feel nostalgic...at all?

"Music" (Leela James)

Somebody play on the guitar strings
Makes me think of my favorite songs
Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sang
Gladys, Tina, and Chaka Khan
Can't go back to yesterday
Can we just put the thongs away

And fall back in love with music
Nothin' but the music
Oh

Everybody knows that Marvin's gone
Still I gotta tell you what's going on
Said the music’s gone

Where'd the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sang no mo'
Where's the music gone?

Where'd the music go?
It's all just for the dough
It ain't songs no mo'
Where's the music gone?

Still hear Donny playin' them keys
Sangin' one day we'll all be free
Can't even turn on my radio
Somebody hollerin' bout a bitch or a hoe

Right now I'm missing music
Back porch, down-home music
