Lyrical Wedding Vows
I was recently riding in my car alone the other day and heard Mary J. blige’s newest song on the radio. I really don’t know the title however. It made me realize at that moment what I wanted. In some way it seems as if in her lyrics her emotions are pouring as she is trying to plea her vow to someone in efforts to link her feelings in some way more understandable and recognizable than anything placed before them. The climax in voice, trembling in pitch, and the deliverance of performance is recognisable by me in some way more deep in nature than I can understand myself. To cry out so intimately, so passionately, so private. With the lyrics in that song can hidden emotions be so vivid in presentation that it speeks for itself. I really did picture at that moment a wedding ceremony in which someone could unvail the vows in such a way. An untragic mix between soul, blues, gospel, with a little bit of modern sythizing makes this track unremarkable. A Love song like this has out-dated all epic tragedies to become an example of triumph. Victory over love lost.
