“When We Get By” by D’Angelo.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and out of all the songs on D’Angelo’s 1995 album Brown Sugar, this is the one I have listened to the most (besides his song “Me and Those Dreamin’ Eyes of Mine”, another beautiful song) This song always calms my hurried mind and brings me peace. And I love the musical key that it’s in because I see a bright shade of yellow, kind of like the sun, when I listen to this song. I really love listening to the ways in which the piano, D’Angelo’s voice, the drum beat and the trumpet merge to create something so incredibly beautiful. Makes me want to stroll outside and perform an improvised dance of some kind. I literally feel this song from the depths of my soul. Reading up on the album gave me more insight into the style of D’Angelo’s music and how he put the album together. It’s quite fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Sugar_(D’Angelo_album)
