today i give thanks and thoughts...a little while ago k and i were indulging in a chocoholics' dream at SOMA, when suddenly i heard this. too funky. no doubt sly. the sultry basslines and horns backed up against sly's soulful voice floating over chocolate almost took me over the edge. when i got home the backup singers were still beckoning so i put it on and listened again. and again.
and when i listen, ev-ery-thing-in-side-me-is-mov-ing-to-this.
ev-ery-thing. jangling bones held together by happy ligaments connected to those involuntarily twitching muscles and corpuscles... the jelly in my eyes, even.
so on the brink of american thanksgiving i present to you a funk track about being saved from the perils of addiction. and no! this does not mean i'm giving up chocolate, so please... keep it coming! i'd be ever so thankful for you being so thoughtful...
sly + the family stone - thankful n thoughtful:
