I simply took a bow

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you’re in the mood to travel right now cause
I want to take you on a journey… we’re going back in time. Are you ready?…
(Lines extracted from the song Way Back by Tanya Stephens)


If you want to read these lyrics go to Sleek n wild

I think the lyrics are strong and deep, the first time I heard them, I simply took a bow.
It’s was wierd hearing a raggae artist praise Marvin Gaye, not suprising but wierd.

Come to think of it, these days, the good ole people buy a whole album just to listen to one track (this is why we collect tracks… in Uganda, you all know what I’m talking about!).

Music in those days was tyt; proof;

  1. My sister collected songs by the album and not tack by track, the way we do it these days,
  2. When we have parties at home, oldies rock the party,
  3. When they (sisters, mumz n paps) are listening to their collections, they listen to a full album without skipping a track. We, now we cannot listen to full albums, we are always skipping tracks. (FYI, I listen to Tanya’s albums without skippinnnnnn, the rest, helllll noooo)

Believe it or not, we still have record players. Anyone in around (In uganda) who can convert them for me?
