under-rated gem of the day--"Up against the wind" by Lori Perry from the very good and also under-rated film "Set It Off"...this is the song that was playing when Cleo (Queen Latifah) was killed.
Day after Day seems like I push against the clouds They just keep blocking out the sun It seems since I was born I've wakened every blessed morning Down on my luck and up against the wind Chorus: Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry You'll do fine, you'll be good, you'll get by Verse 2: Night after night seems like I rage against the moon But it don't ever light the dark I curse the fowling rain But it won't stop for my complaining Down on my luck and up against the wind Chorus: Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry Mmm oooohhh PS Lori and her 3 older sisters were the group that performed under Perri...great harmony you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

Love that song....I thought for along time that it was Phyllis Hyman singing...this song is not on the soundtrack that was released but rather the soundtrack movie score...it was very hard to find at one point,had it on MP3 at one point. Very dark and sad song. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back. I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there. I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish. And I am | |
