Slum village – Fall N Love

J Dilla Feat. Common and D’Angelo

I wanna get closer to you baby
Oh, oh, oh
You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
Yeah
You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
Yeah

Let go,
And let me live inside you.
What your mouth don’t say,
Baby your thighs do.
I want us to arrive to-gether.
I love it when the weather,
is wet and sticky.
Some depict me,
As being conscious,
Yeah, I use my head.
It was you who fed,
My appetite for seduction.
Biting and cussing and uh.
Touching where no one has ever touched before,
The heat got you open like an oven door,
Because of your innocence,
even more you’ll remember this,
Hardcore gentleness.
Before you wasn’t into this,
On the ride your freak became limitless,
Holding on to the night and me tight,
As we write on the walls,
A story called ‘go’.

You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
Ooo baby

I love it when we do it,
You do it like you believe it,
Able to give and receive it with openness.
Emotions just spill,
I’m giving you something that you can feel.
It’s hard to stay still,
Rubbing your desires up against mine,
I feel you shaking and I’m thinking that next time,
My fingers on the hook of your neck,
Deep in your eyes is a look of respect,
Soft wet brown sugar mixed with cinnamon
Said you learning to trust men again
If this is love, made our self, is made for you to feel empowered
At the same time helpless.
You dealt with a lot,
and your screams and moans
something about you go off, and I see I’m home.
For we don’t have to think no more,
It’s synchronicity and raw,
And this is what I came here for,
Uh.

You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
Go on
You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
Go on
You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go
Go on
You have come so far
You’ve got so far to go

I love Javier’s voice so much..!
Here’s the video of him performing live @ BB Kings in NYC
during a benefit concert for The Songs Of Love Foundation.
Matt Cusson and Billy Porter were also featured to this event!
( I’m a big fan of them so when I heard about the event I
was like ” wow…. ” and I really really wished I could fly and
attend the event… )

#981 Sade – Skin

外は雨ですな・・・今日はこればっかり聴いてます・・・

When I found out this love’s undone
I was like a gun
Sure as it was over
Felt like nothing good could come

Sure as it’s gonna play and play
Like Michael back in the day
I’m gonna peel you away

Now as I begin
to wash you off my skin
I’m gonna peel you away
‘Cause you’re not right within

I love you so
Sometimes love has to let go
So this time don’t think it’s a lie
I say goodbye

Now as I begin
to wash you off my skin
I’m gonna peel you away
‘Cause you’re not right within

Now it’s time
to wash you off my skin
Now as I begin
It couldn’t be right
‘Cause you’re not right within
I say goodbye..
