Todaayyyyy I just feel like posting some classic EPIC ish from my personal favorite era in music, the SOUL era, the 1970's! There are definitely some newer musicians that are inspired by the original soul era, but I wanna go baaacccck... Soul music to me is music that is inspired fully by fusing the energy, the spirit, the feeling into something as simple as telling me to "Get up offa that thing"... Music that can take you down low and cause you to relate to an emotion you've never experienced... Music that can bring you back up and make you stand up on the inside without you placing a foot on the ground... An expression of what often cannot be put into words, things ranging from sexuality/love/ and political uprising, but the chords played upon the piano, the notes plucked from the bass guitar, the squeal emitted from the brass horn or that wail pushed from the inner most part of the body, some how says it all... Soul music is my favorite music...

"Queen,/ You deserve the title/ But she rejects what i give/ While she nurse the wounds by them/ Tried them, didn't work/ Got impossible standards,/ Nothin' I do's gonna work/ Diary of a black girl"
@Wale
This track is CLASSIC... in my humble opinion...
Everything from the arrangement and the lyrics and Marsha's BEAUTIFUL, ANGELIC voice makes this track a standout to me...
NOT to mention the song gets to me so TOUGH!
It gives you a peek into the goings on inside of MY diary... I can so relate to this song. I think that every woman keeps a diary, literal or figurative. Every man that we allow into our lives writes something on the tablet of our heart. Good or bad, there is a record being kept of what transpires in the relationship. I myself can say that my "Diary" is filled with doubt, fear and very little trust in the opposite sex. I don't want it to be that way, but when that's all you know it's hard to go AROUND that.
It's even harder for the man that is trying to prove otherwise. I'm an optimistic person, but fear prohibits me from letting go and allowing someone new to get close to me... Insecurity, is a self-imposed prison, I choose to let my mind create falsities and conspire about how your intentions are impure... And I KNOW that it's partially my fault because I settle and repeat some mistakes, but DAMN it seems never-ending... In order for change to occur one must do something DIFFERENT for a change... Seems like I should do that huh??
If I told you I wanted to talk to you, you know
you'd think I'm tryin' to holler at you
And maybe I am, but you wouldn't hear me out anyways would you?
Rather lose love than to move on never knowin' what it feels like
Short days, long nights by the phone, no call
Need a clear mind cuz I been blind got me goin down that road
Heart made of stone
Far away from home,
Black woman c-c-cold
Every problem that you ever had with another man, i gotta face
Started off on thin ice i'm still here but i can't skate
Slow sink, can't breathe
No remorse, don't think
Listen to your friend,
Get another man for a minute then repeat
Queen,
You deserve the title
But she rejects what i give
While she nurse the wounds by them
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothin' I do's gonna work
Diary of a black girl
[Chorus:]
I wonder why I sit and cry, wish I could shed all these tears
I'm down and out, I'll keep on movin' and tryin' to get out
I don't know how to move on, where I went wrong
Wish I could live with no fears
So down and out, I'll keep it movin' and try to get out, somehow
Black girl
Raise by a momma who, hates the baby father, so
She don't have a problem with, sayin' "fuck a nigga" quick
I'm just tryin' to be the one who never run, but you run away from me
Your girlfriend's men cheat, why not me the same thing
She can't see in me, what I see in her
This pain she inherit, can't be reversed
I can even stay livin' in the shade above the motherfuckers that played ya
The irony in that is I ain't even that but you put it in those pages
Wife, you deserve the label,
But you been hurt before,
So you sore, and don't feel you're able
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothing that i ever do'll work
Diary of a black girl
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
See all I ever want to do is be relevant just tell me that I ever meant anything or that you could ever see me and you on another light but its like the dark winter doors darkest nights by the wrong men mostly all of them have made you some what incapable of a first impression what I do is channel my aggression with no cable or antenna just intentions to impress you; incapable, hoping that the material possessions can materialize to a better you; cars, nothing I drive can drive better this frame of mind with such an ugly picture in the end; money, nothing I buy can buy me more time for your ears to say your heart to listen to it; diamonds, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegiance ya, you gonna shine anyways and every day that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary the day before is better then the present so anyone presented in her presence endures her life; sentences, no key for release no reason to be around her minds in the clouds she writes it all down in her diary
Dear Eric, (yeah we on a first name basis!)
Apparently you had ME, the Dark and Lovely DIVA, in mind when you made this song. You could have at least had the courtesy to call me when you made this video. It's cool I ain't really mad atcha because the lady you selected was very very beautiful. I know you want all the sexual chocolate women to feel as special as I do, so umma be cool. NEXT time call a sista, and I'll be right there to roll around in bed with you. Ta-ta for now!
Sincerly,
The Dark and Lovely DIVA

Listen and LOVE it...
OFFICIAL VIDEO!

I simply adore Chrisette Michelle! I would go to the end of the earth to go see her!! She's comin back @ us with her single "Epiphany"... The official video features Drake as her love interest.
Musically Chrisette is just out of this world. She has her own solar system, she is the SUN! Her and Jazmine Sullivan are two female artists that are definitely gonna be in the game for a long-time. If you love to hear beauty, purity, soul, flavor, emotion and actually feel the music you listen to, then listen to some Chrisette!!!!
This song is fantastic I could definitely relate! I hope that I could be as good of a singer/songwriter as she is! Ne-Yo is actually co-producing/producing material with her for the new CD so watch out!!!!
Successful - Drake ft Trey Songz & Lil Wayne
I wanna see what the top of the world feel like/ Pen in my hand spillin my soul all night/ I gotta rise above today by any means necessary/ Make a way for myself because I know I'm legendary
~BeShayBE
I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes, the hoes I suppose, I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful. I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful. I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful.
"I do a lot of things hopin I neva have to fit in/ so tryin to keep up with my progress is like a dead end"
~Drake "Sucessful"
This song sort of epitomizes how I feel about my life right now... Except the hoes, I don't love them hoes lol. I wanna be SUCCESSFUL, is'nt that everyone's dream?? I have so many things that I love to do, so many things that I want to be... I'm a major dreamer, I picture myself being many things and most of all I see myself being happy. Happy with my life, comfortable, stable... My main goal in life is to get something going for myself so that I can help others, I know so many talented hard working people and I strive to surround myself with positivity and good energy and put that out myself.
Not to sound conceited or big-headed at all, because I am one of the most humble ppl that you'll meet in life, I know that GOD created with a vast array of talents and skills that WILL go a long way. I know that I am a major asset to someone somewhere, a diamond in the rough, waiting to be spotted. I feel like I'm slept on by a lot of ppl and have been for most of my life. I'm not the average chick, way beyond it. Seriously I might be the next major mogul in the making!
I know that I have tons of things to learn and experience in life still, and I absorb information from wherever I can get it. I have certain ppl that I look up to, role models, mentors, what have you, but nobody that has really grabbed a hold of me and HELPED ME. I also can't say that I've really reached out either... My biggest problem in life admitting that I need help... Pride, I can be chock full of that shit, but certain things I know better than to let that block me from connecting with people on an interpersonal level. As far as obtaining certain goals that I have for this year, I need guidance. Primarily SCHOOL which Lord help me is another topic...
Well enough about that for today, just know that you will be hearing from me soon in your area...
Ask about me see if you don't find out...
Sooo I saw this over on my friend Mikey McFly's blog and decided I should share with you guys... I am a HUGE Musiq Soulchild fan. SoBeautiful is one of my favorite songs off of Onmyradio.. So when I saw that there was a video I had to see it! The imagery and set-up of the video is absolutely breath-taking and the model was very beautiful as well... Sit back and mellow out!

Invigorating my soul to the core
Always leaves me wanting, needing, craving for more
Inspire me, lift me off my feet
High into another stratosphere
Catapaulting me into ecstascy
On top of the world in your arms
In my night sky the only star
The only man that I adore
Like waves washing the shore
Cleanse my spirit from loves before
My heart flying freely
Floating on through the heavens
Most precious creation of GOD you are
I loved you from the very start
Please don't ever walk away
Because I for sure am here to stay
Life for me took a drastic turn
No longer a woman spurned
Now one with hope for better tommorrows
Threw away my pain my sorrows
In exchange for YOU my beautiful diamond
NO thing could ever change my mind
So my question to YOU simple and plain
Will you be here for the rest of my life to STAY??
~~Loving ALL
that YOU are and what you will BE
BeShayBE~~
