Jill Scott是知名的R&B及靈魂樂女歌手,Beautiful Human算是她的第二張個人專輯。
不管是曲風、歌詞、以及Jill的唱腔,都非常吸引我。
歌詞的靈感來自己她個人的生活點滴,有著很真實、很濃的「人」的感覺。
下面是Family Reunion的歌詞,讓我想到我的家人們團聚時的情景……
Family Reunion
We at the family reunion
Telling jokes and playing spades
Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill
Grandma braggin’ bout the blanket she made
For the new baby
On her away
Even though the daddy ain’t really ready
This child is comin’ anyway
Niecie made her famous potato salad
Somehow it turns out green
Maybe it’s all the scallions
Could be the celery
But ol’ uncle Jerome loves it
“Hey baby, baby
Here comes my favorite
My favorite cousin”
He says he’s doin’ fine
Takin’ it one step a day
But in my hear I know it ain’t that way
Oh!
What ca ya say it’s family
And Oh!
What can you say it’s family
Aunt Juicy been drinkin’ again
It’s only 1:30 in the afternoon
Everybody tiptoein’ round her
We all know she gonna be tore up soon
Sayin’ all the things we’d like to say
Hope she gets around to cousin Lonnie
Cuz we all know he got a little extra somebody on the side but,
Oh!
What ca ya say it’s family
And Oh!
What can you say it’s family
Mickey and Steven are fighting again
“Move out the way
Somebody might get hurt”
Aww look at that what happened it’s worse
They knocked over Helenora’s lemon cake
You know the one she barely ever makes
I’m getting riled up
I wan them to go!
But somebody turned Frankie Beverly on the stereo
Cousin Ruby starts rockin’
Shakin’ her good hip and bobbin’
So we all fall into place
Smiling and laughing
Oh!
What can ya say it’s family
And Oh!
What can you say it’s family
Oh!
What can ya say it’s family
And Oh!
What can you say
