Lyrics play a vital role in the success and longevity of music. A successful songwriter delivers timeless music. I know timeless music when I can clearly remember word for word songs more than a decade old. I remember back in the 90s still in high school when Musiq SoulChild came onto the mainstream music scene. It was the introduction of Neo Soul to my generation. I'll never forget his song, LOVE. The lyrics were so powerful, meaningful and most importantly REAL.
Musiq is a timeless artist who composes his own lyrics. His lyrics offers a glimpse into his personality. My favorite is 'Who Knows' which is a very thought provoking song. One of the verses is as follows -
"know that love is not just something to do
It’s the moment that transcends
Our physical into a more spiritual level of understanding"
from 'Who Knows' written by Musiq SoulChild
Who knows what these lyrics mean, do you? Well leave me a comment on what you think he is trying to say and keep posted for my response to these lyrics.
Musiq SoulChild writes REALITY.
