Back To Life

WHAT? Not ONE comment on this song of songs? Now I KNOW that the world is doomed, and deserving of condemnation and judgement from a holy and righteous God.

"Look it's me writing on the wall..."

This is a great mid-tempo positive song. :)

This song seems to be about returning to Reality with a capital "R" & getting present to the "here & NOW", Stepping out of the fantasy (the ego/collective delusion). Surrendering to God (The Godforce, LIFE, Universe). Being available to do God's Will. God's Plan. Life's Flow:

"However do You Want me, However do You need me"

This song is just beautiful! Powerful gorgeous voices... great transitions... really truly amazing work. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Back from a fantasy and back to life; to reality; Back to the present day we have. (Life seems to be an illusion; a place of make-believe or possibly deceit; and the singer wants to be real). ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I live at the top of the block. (Maybe this is some slang I am unaware of. I dunno. I don't get out much. The word block has so many meanings and remains the key word for interpretation. Block could mean a place to be molded; perhaps a particular place in life; a sailing term implying a new direction; all of which offer a slight different interpretation.) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Look it's me writing on the wall. Hear me out, don't let me waste away. No more room for trouble or fuss. Need a change, a positive change. Let's end this foolish game. (The singer’s thoughts are on full display. Life is wasting away, and something good is desired. A change is sought for sure.) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The chorus is:
However do you want me However do you need me How, however do you want me Also, Decide what you want from me. Tell me maybe I could be there for you Yeah tell me now, take the initiative. Show me how, I'll leave it in your hands until you're ready. Make up your mind so I know where I stand. (These words are a sign of trust, Looking for guidance, or direction; or a new way… it is a huge surrender of some sort.) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Therefore....This song could easily be regarded as a religious surrender. It could be regarded as one looking for a commitment from another. It could be regarded as self-motivation where one realizes that life has been an illusion and a new realistic approach is indeed needed. Truly amazing song - LOVE IT!

My friend and I did like tiles of our favourite 80s albums. We were limited to 16 or 20 selections.

My mate put Club Classics Vol. 1 in his.

I said no. You can't put that in.

He argued about how good it was. He used words like iconic.

I agreed with most of what he said. It's a decent album and it never fails to make me happier than before I played it. Reminding me of better days. I had my hair. I had my youth. I had optimism. I had opportunities.

Shall I tell you what I didn't have?

A proper version of Back To Life. As rich and beautiful as her voice is. I wanted the beats. I wanted the bass. I wanted those strings.

I went to London to buy a Tshirt from the Soul 2 Soul shop. I have to admit, I was disappointed that Jazzie B wasn't actually in the shop. I pictured him, stood in the doorway, imparting words of wisdom to passers by.

Those in the know, stopping to shuffle around to the break beats before moving on.

Those not in the know complaining about the acapella Back To Life on Club Classics Vol. 1

I really liked what little I heard of Volume 3 till my tape player mangled it.
