MUSIC 2013 mtv-vmas-performers-600x450

I watched the MTV VMAs last night and was blown away!  Maybe it's because I'm not that hooked into 'the scene'.  Got me thinking about the state of music today.   2013 is a long time away from the 90's jams I was rocking to in my youth.  I like music that makes me want to dance and I love lyrics that have a little more meaning than 'my humps'.**  (sorry to all the fergie fans)

Music-quotes-sayings-sad-listen-wisdomI've been lucky enough to have been to plenty concerts.  My husband doesn't bat an eye when I turn up the stereo in our home to full blast.  I watched the performances and realized that not much has changed.  Sex (blurred lines), objectivity of women (we can't stop) and discrimination (same love) are still the main topics of many songs that we here today.  In the 90's there were so many songs that did the same thing, but why does it seem worse now?

Bob-Marley-Music-Quotes-WallpaperDid you watch the VMA's?  Do you agree that musicians/music seem to be raunchier than ever before?

Peace

** i can't say that i've never danced to songs with trashy lyrics. i can't.

[playlist tracks="3837"]

  Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh, what's going on What's going on Ya, what's going on Ah, what's going on

In the mean time Right on, baby Right on Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long Oh, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Oh

Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me So you can see What's going on Ya, what's going on Tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on - Uh Right on baby Right on baby

-Marvin Gaye

Summertime

tumblr_m6p4tnV6yv1rt69n3o1_500It’s hot and HUMID – but it’s better than winter…

Fantasia_Barrino-Summertime(mp3plate.com)

Summertime And the livin’ is easy Fish are jumpin’ And the cotton is high. Your daddy’s rich And your mama’s good lookin’ So hush little baby Don’t you cry. One of these mornings You’re gonna rise up singing Then you’ll spread your wings And fly to the sky. But ’til that morning Nothing can harm you With mammy and daddy Standin’ by.

~George Gershwin~

I sometimes like to read lyrics to songs as poems.  For me, when I read, the meaning is deepened.  This Alicia Keys song is wonderful, but as a poem?  I feel it's even better. [audio http://freshairboutique.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/10-i-need-you.m4a]

Tell someone today, how important they are to you.  Tell someone how much they mean to you.  We shouldn't have to wait for an event like Mother's Day to reach out to the ones we truly love...  That's the fresh perspective...

**"I Need You"

The sand loves when..the waves come The sky can't wait...for the light of the sun So how could you...look me in my eye And not see what, what I feel inside Tell me how could you... doubt the fact that I I love you... I love you

Don't you ever...think like that. Don't you ever...never do that? There will never be two things...that go together better Than you and me....

North needs south east needs west... No needs yes yes yes Up needs down life needs death... No needs yes yes yes

I need you I need you I need you

-Alicia Keys

This is one of my favorite love songs.  Gearing up to Valentine's makes me think of love and my wedding.  This was the song that Ogo and I had our first dance to.  Many thanks to him for making it happen!  The lyrics are all I ever want him to know.  Enjoy!  That's the fresh perspective... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JREcKmXDeAs

"Turn Your Lights Down Low" (feat. Bob Marley)

Turn your lights down low And pull your window curtain Oh let the moon come shining in Into our life again Saying ooh, it's been a long, long time I got this message for you girl But it seems I was never on time Did I wanna get through to you girl? On time, on time I want to give you some love I want to give you some good, good loving Oh I, oh I, oh I Yeah I want to give you some good, good lovingTurn your lights down low Never ever try to resist, oh no Let your love come shining in Into our lives again And ooh, I love you And I want you to know right now Ooh I love you And I want you to know right now That I, that I I wanna give you some love I wanna give you some good, good loving Oh I, oh I, oh I I wanna give you some good, good lovingLoving you is a like a song I replay Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day And every chorus was written for us to recite Every beautiful melody of devotion every night It's potion like this ocean that might carry me In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me And every word, every second, and every third Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard And when I play them, every chord is a poem Telling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know him The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress If you asking then I'm telling you it's yes Stand in love, take my hand in love, God blessI want to give you some good, good loving I want to give you some love I want to give you some good, good loving Oh I, oh I, oh I I wanna give you some good, good loving

Sade ~ The Sweetest Taboo [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcPc18SG6uA&feature=relmfu]

If I tell you If I tell you now Will you keep on Will you keep on loving me If I tell you If I tell you how I feel Will you keep bringing out the best in me

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo Too good for me

There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before There's a quiet storm that is you There's a quiet storm and it never felt this hot before Giving me something that's taboo (Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo That's why I'm in love with you (with you) You give me the sweetest taboo too good for me (Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before There's a quiet storm I think it's you There's a quiet storm and i never felt this hot before Giving me something that's taboo

You give me the (you give me the) sweetest taboo That's why i'm in love with you (with you) You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo Too good for me

You've got the biggest heart Sometimes i think you're just too good for me Every day is christmas, and every night is new year's eve Will you keep on loving me Will you keep on, will you keep on Bringing out the best in me
