That one song that send you into a Trance!!!

Natalie Cole "A Smile Like Yours"

Hmm, thought I'd seen everything there was to see in this world
Now I'm not so sure I've really seen anything at all
I thought life could show me no surprises
And then you came and showed me I was wrong
I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, I thought I'd been everywhere
I've climbed a mountain so high, sailed the sea, crossed the sky
And still I was nowhere at all, until that day, oh, you came to my senses
And your smile, it made sense out of it all, (I have seen the bluest skies)
Rainbows that would make you cry, I have seen miracles

(miracles that moved me soul) that moved my soul, days that changed my life,
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile as beautiful as yours
(smile so beautiful) so beautiful, comes one time in a lifetime
A smile this beautiful, (a smile this beautiful) I've never dreamed I'd ever see, oh
(I have seen the bluest skies) I have seen it, (rainbows that would make you cry)
That would make you cry, I've seen miracles (miracles) moved my soul,
(days that changed my life) and days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark
Oh, I've seen the wonders of this world (wonders of the world)
But I've never seen a smile (never seen a smile before as beautiful as yours)
Oh, I've never seen a smile before, (never seen a smile before as beautiful)
As beautiful as yours.

I must admit that Love is a beautiful thing…the merrier the love song that sends you higher in spirit. I have such songs that really take me from nowhere to somewhere. I know most of us do have them and every time they play we enter in to a frenzy or trance.

The song above is such…this just demonstrate how amazing love is…love is so gooooood!!! It makes people creative and intelligent especially when it comes from the heart and is genuine.  At times one wonders what was Diane Eve Warren thinking when she penned such a beautiful tune. Listening to the song now actually makes one want to go back to the time the song was first compiled. You can actually feel the connection of the song and the singer. Her soul is poured into the song and her emotions speaks volume. There are those singers that are able to take you from one level to another. You actually feel the spiritual upliftment when the song plays.

This reminds me of people like Randall Abrahams from Idols Fame, he sometimes commends the aspiring singers for been able to emulate the spirit of the song, not just simply singing a song because one has a beautiful voice. It is not about the voice…it is about the spirit and the experience behind the song…does the singer live the lyrics of the song on stage or when singing. It is very easy to see, no singer can fake the song and get away with it. This is a like a gospel show…there is a gospel show and there is Gospel show!!! The same way…listening to Pastor Benjamin Dube, one can tell the Spirit (anointing behind the songs) as opposed to Joyous Celebration songs where the voice is on display as opposed to the Spirit of the song.  If I had to be a singer I wanna make people speak in tongues of love and anoint them with the spirit of love. I wanna transform their space into a cognitive environment of worship of love and its beauty. For a moment they need to forget about impossible but see the possible because of the tantric nature of love.

Love is such a beautiful gift whether you fall in love temporarily, illusory, confectionery, fixation or genuinely…has the same effect…there is a moment of insanity (self-lost). N Cole first line says that she saw everything is there to see in the world but….a big No! Why because she has not seen a Smile as beautiful as yours. She thought life has shown her all the surprises but Nope…because she has not seen your ever shining beauty that turn reality into a dreamland for few seconds. When she sees you her world is topsy-turvy. When she hears you speak, her world is complete and fulfilled. She has seen miracles that moved her soul but that still cannot be compared to the beauty that Love is. Love transcends…inspires…humbles…drives…controls and inhibit your intellectual capacity. When you try to think straight…you can’t because you are out of balance.  I have been and seen the wonders of the world but that is nothing compared to your smile - this got to show that it does not matter how much you travel and see the world but love will you bring you home (hence it humbles even the greatest of the Kings). Hence the bible says that you can have all the knowledge and riches in the world but if you have no love you are like a metal that make a sound.  Love is a force that attracts.  May be now you still seeing the brightest star in the dark that shines like a diamonds. I hope, wish and pray that this love…smile will come to your senses one of this days that you recognise and identify the one thing that you need or want, whichever comes first. Then you can sing this… days that changed my life!!
