Leela James - Music Lyrics






Somebody play on the guitar stings
Makes me think of my favorite songs
Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sang
Gladys, Steven, and Chaka Khan
Can't go back to yesterday
Can we just put the thongs away

And fall back in love with music
Nothin' but the music
Oh

Everybody knows that Marvin's gone
Still I gotta tell you what's going on
Said the music gone

Where did all the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sang no mo'
Where's the music gone?

Where'd the music go?
It's all just for the dough
It ain't songs no mo'
Where's the music gone?

Still hear Donny playin' them keys
Sangin' one day we'll all be free
Can't even turn on my radio
Somebody hollerin' bout a bitch or a hoe

Right now I'm missing music
Black folks count on music

Where did all the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sang no mo'
Where's the music gone?

  16. J.... R....

    She has a great voice but every song sounds the same. Whoever is writing the music is stuck on that one rhythm and sound . That can hurt any artist when every song sound the same. Then it hosts her because she get stuck singing the same style all the time

  76. T.... ....

    Yesss i found another good artist : D

  77. k.... ....

    HOW CAN THIS BE?? WHY this song does not have millions and MILLIONS of views is a friggin' mystery to me. What's up with the Universe?!

    k.... ....

    I said the same thing!

    k.... ....

    Why? Most people have horrible taste in music as far as I have learned. Radio is for cows lining up to be milked unfortunately.

    k.... ....

    People don't know music. Lyrics, musicianship, vocals actual live performances have given way to drum machines and rapping strippers.

    k.... ....

    People are fickle and easily swayed. Some actually think this mumble rap garbage is music. No substance today.

    k.... ....

    Everytime I see you Leela James afro a fall that much in love with her

  78. S.... P....

    AHHHHHH this song should always be played everywhere
