Say Something-A great big world ft Christina Aguilera


I first heard this song when I was having a very shit day at work and nothing on my playlist seemed to lift my spirits and put me back in the groove. So I decided to switch to the radio and find some inspiration there. There was some top 40 hits review going on so I was like ok let’s see where this goes and then they played this song. Let’s just say I’m a sucker romance and have always found solace in music when going through my trials so I wrote down the name of the song on my note pad.

Exactly a week later as I was walking into my room I saw the video. Absolutely blown away I was. That’s when I looked for the song, listened to the lyrics….. and shed a tear. How could a song reach out and touch my very core??? It was a nostalgic moment of being in a quadrant of loving someone but seeing the relationship slipping away. It brought back memories of fighting for something to the point where the more you fought the more you died a lil inside until it brought you to your knees; defeated. Memories of feeling like a caged animal seeking release, bound by your own fantasies of how amazing the relationship could be but not wanting to face the reality….
 
 

It is a therapeutic song, a healing song. If I had heard this song then it would have given me the strength to stretch my wings and take the leap faster than when I eventually did. Two thumbs (and big toes) up for this song. I’m sending the link to all my friends I hope they’ll love it as much as I do.

Zonke Dikana-Feelings


Usually on my way to work I love listening to the radio. Its 20 minutes of infomercials, news, chatty dj’s and music. So today this particular radio station played a particular song that I somewhat liked. I obviously couldn’t make head or tail of the lyrics but I thought hmmmm this beat really sparks my afro jazzy side. So I got the name and went on youtube and all I can say is I was blown away!

 

Wow sung like a true woman who has finally been given the avenue to talk about how she really feels. It definitely fits my palate of jazz music and has officially made its way to number 1 on my playlist. I hope you will love it the same way I do
