I had not heard that song in a long time, I was listening to her music on myspace and this one came on, I'm in love with it all over again!

Youssou n'dour & James Newton Howard
Home Part 1 Soundtrack to movie "Home"
Ceu - Brazilian female vocalist
Jazz and MJ

For all the hell the org gives Beyonce on the regular, there are still some good songs kicking around.





"Is She The Reason"

I thought that this was something
Promisin' that one day
It would turn into something
Thought the feelings were mutual
And I didn't have to guess
Started being skeptical
Always unavailable
Like you didn't know

But now I'm feelin' something
Tellin' me this may not be
The real something
But you was showing me
Now I'm ready and you runnin'
Damn you got me open
Now I'm feelin' like I'm chokin' now
Now where am I to go?

I can't
Believe that you can't feel my heart
And I can't
Believe you let me fall so hard
Stop playin'
How could you let it go this far?
If you had doubts that I wasn't the one
You said
That you're the type to take it slow
You said
Before I stepped I'd let you know
Stop playin'
Before you let me see you with her
You coulda told me a change was gon' come

Is she the reason you don't call like you use to
Fall through my hood like you use to
Put it on me hard like you use to do
I feel in my mind what's goin' on
But my heart won't let me go until I know
Is she the reason that my calls couldn't reach you
The deepest of my love couldn't please you
Or bring it to me home like you use to do
Seein' her fallin' for your charm
Got me feelin' like I wasn't good enough

See I know we not official
Us bein' official
Ain't ever been an issue
When it came down to us
Boy remember we were different?
You said that we'd talked
If we ever had a problem 'bout anything

I was cool with no commitment
Wait - Let me take that back
It was you, so I was with it
I guess I didn't get
When you showed you didn't miss it
Now it seems that your interest ain't here
We ain't the same

I can't
Believe that you can't feel my heart
And I can't
Believe you let me fall so hard
Stop playin'
How could you let it go this far?
If you had doubts that I wasn't the one
You said
That you're the type to take it slow
You said
Before I stepped I'd let you know
Stop playin'
Before you let me see you with her
You coulda told me a change was gon' come

Is she the reason you don't call like you use to
Fall through my hood like you use to
Put it on me hard like you use to do
I feel in my mind what's goin' on
But my heart won't let me go until I know
Is she the reason that my calls couldn't reach you
The deepest of my love couldn't please you
Or bring it to me home like you use to do
Seein' her fallin' for your charm
Got me feelin' like I wasn't good enough

All you had to say was this ain't what you want
I wouldn't be so hurt if I can just move on
You had me believin' that everythin' was my fault
But I can see it now
It's a situation that I must let go
'Cause you ain't gonna be a man and let me know
I guess me seein' you with her tells it all

Cinnie, that album is the best they ever released together. I like it a lot more than Survivor

If

Alej said:

Yeah I sorta decided that since #1s looked like a tempting CD, but I already had Survivor, and knew I hated Writing's, that I should just pick up that one and check out the rest of the album while I'm at it. I'm not surprised it is their best.

If you compare them to other acts in the past, some of their best work just starts to show later on after a few albums. I feel like they were all just beginning to mature, then Destiny's Child broke up! People say it was inevitable because of the focus on Beyonce but I prefer her taking turns singing with her girls.

Cinnie said:

Me too I really love Kelly's voice. Even more than Beyoncé's. It's a lot softer and pleasant sounding. Bad Habit is just

I don't really like Latin music but I'm in love with this song <3

Organium - The Rage



Think I might be forcing myself to listen to real classical music later today though.

Alej said:

Yeah it's just that saying about "the whole being greater than the sum of the parts" or whatever.. just a great combination to me.

"Bad Habit" I'm going to get into next I'm still stuck on "Is She The Reason"

Cinnie said:

<3

For no good reason, I decided to listen to all of my CDs in alphabetical order on Sunday afternoon.

So far I've listened to:


ABC
Barry Adamson
The Afghan Whigs
Alien Sex Fiend
The Allman Brothers

Currently have Dave Alvin playing.

American Music Club is up next.
