When Music was Music

You ever get in this mood where you just want to sing? Like, be in your car rolling down the street having a concert by your own self? Most of the time when this spirit hits, I turn to a station that plays oldies.

1. Because new music oftentimes doesn't move me like that and transcend my spirit to a soothing place.
2. Because new music often fails to emote the passion (and pure vocal skill) of older music.
3. And because new music often has lyrics that are kinda shallow.

With this in mind, I heard this old Patti Labelle song a week or two ago. And I was compelled to sing along. The lyrics just hit me - "I love and need and want you baby. Love and need and want you baby."

Because honestly, I don't know about you, but the person I'm with? I need him to do all three: love and need and want me.
