This Detroit house style song captures the essence of what makes house music appealing to so many people. The appeal of the monotonous four by four beat of house music may touch upon those early ancestor days of tribal drums that send us into a trance; or the uplifting melody that carries us away; or the catching lyrics that liberate us. This song has all three working together to get the soul out of the stagnation and solidification of everyday life, and into a groove.
The lyrics of the song are taken from the original Minnie Riperton “inside your love.”
“Two people, just meeting, barely touching each other.
Two spirits, just breathing, trying to carry it further.”
The other spoken words state;
“It’s not what you’ve got; it’s what you do with what you have.
And, It ain’t what you do; it’s how you do it.”
Insightful words to keep in mind.
These words go beyond just this; similarly we can use this thinking in terms of life and time. Not dwelling on the past, or over-thinking and anticipating the future, but focusing on the present at all times. Because it is all we have. The past has gone and the future is not here yet.
Enjoy.
