100 days, 100 nights

That is the title of an awesome song by Sharon Jones and the Dap kings. It sounds old, but it really recent and I love it. My grandparents listened to this stuff and I am glad I can get into it. But that's not why I am writing. Despite all the happiness I have recently been blessed with, it saddens me to see that there is still hatred in the world. Now you might be saying no duh the Jena 6 proved that. Well I know, but every time I hear or see things that promote anything but love and self or social improvement I get sad.I was watching this band's video on Youtube and instead of celebrating how wonderful her voice was, there had to be one person that had to ruin the experience for everyone. Granted this person is entitled to their opinion, but when that opinion is so hurtful and lacks the willingness to change, a problem is formed. But besides that one piece of sorrow I saw bits of light. People of different races ( I suppose, the comments don't really say whose black or white)Coming together trying to make the good outweigh the bad and to celebrate a wonderful musician. So that's most of it.

I just borrowed the recent Kanye West album from a friend of mine and I have to give him(Kayne) credit. Although I don't appreciate the fact that he mostly samples and that he is an arrogant person. I have to say he is intelligent and his sampling exposes music to people who otherwise wouldn't find it, so good Job Kanye.

Along the lines of the Kanye West album.. On the song I Wonder there is a sample of A song called My Song by Labi Siffre. He is an incredible lyricist and his voice is very cool. I hadn't heard of him till now, but I found out that he is responsible for the song called, " It must be love" I thought that was pretty cool. So I will end this blog with the lyrics of Labi Siffre song called my song.

This is my song
and no one can take it away
It's been so long, but now you're here,
here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
to find your dreams come true
This is my song
and no one can make it a lie
It's been so long since someone
could make me cry
And I wonder if you know what it mean
sto laugh as tears go by
I may not always sing in tune
and sometimes you don't hear me
but you don't have to be near me
to know that I'm singing
This is my song
and nothing can make it die
It's been so long and it's stronger
I know why
And I wonder if you really, really know
That as long as I live I will sing my song for you
