Music: 2face Idibia: Dance in the Rain



  Let's take it back to our home country Nigeria for the 2nd Musical entry on this blog. Honestly speaking this should have been my first, I should have started from this song and from this artist. I mean it just fits in for all the right reasons that I don't even want to get started mentioning. This man right here is a light of inspiration that shines bright for the young and old. His music is not just good to the body, it reaches to the mind and whispers a lesson or more.

This song "Dance in the Rain" has also been the inspiration to a couple of posts that I have put up previously. It was the Inspiration to our Focus of April which was appreciation. In this song he simply talks about not getting worked up over tomorrow. He talks about you not ruining today simply because you are worried about what tomorrow will bring. He also talks about being appreciative of the simple things that life has to offer you.





Let's take a little look at the lyrics of the song. I love this song so much that i'll write out the full lyrics. So here we go...


"Take a seat, enjoy the ride
The unknown, I won't be afraid of
I'm just gonna 'lax (relax) and enjoy my life
Try to live it, try to, appreciate it
 'Cos every breath I take I'll feel the air
 I'll take sometime to smell the grass and the flowers
 There's so much to live for here I swear
 I will bask in the sun and dance in the rain

Chorus:
Oh Oh Oh I'll dance in the rain Oh yeah
Oh Oh Oh I'll dance in the rain, I'l dance in the rain

 Take a deep....breath and then come alive
 There might be so many things you're missing out of
 Try to know it,
 Try to feel it eeh,
 It's your life yeah,
 try to live it yeah
 Forget about tomorrow live in today
 Tomorrow will be fine so don't let your worries take away the beauty of today
 Just bask in the sun and dance in the rain ohhh
 I'll dance in the rain ..(Repeated)

Chorus.....

 Take a seat and relax you're my brother man
 Love people from other lands  and see them as one
 If you believe you can fly..
 Then why don't you try instead of doubting yourself, living  in negative vibes
 Get up and say yes you can...and...appreciate the simple things
 Like the mountain and seas and the land and the trees
 And the flowers and leaves, the air that you breathe
 A wonderful world, a wonderful world..
 Ooh Yeah..."

Chorus...





I mean just look at those lyrics. But it gets better when you actually listen to his voice. This song is packed with so much message and inspiration that I keep wondering how one man was able to do it. Put so much sense and meaning into a beautiful tune. I honestly don't know why this song isn't more popular. I guess that is the world we live in these days. Anything at all be it, music, movie, article or any other thing that has a good message to it is ignored. Oh well...

Here is the song. Enjoy....

2face is a legend. Makes the most amazing songs. I also love this song "Nobody" he did with M.I. Amazing lyrics. I guess that's why he's one of naija's greatest!

Its always good to hear songs with great meaning as we don't easily get them these days. Every body is pursuing money and so they release just anything that comes to mind. Nice lyrics
