A Song For Mama By Boiz II Men
My soul transports me to another realm each time I relax to listen to my favorite song of all time. The feeling I get can never be related with words. The first time I started listening to Boiz II Men's songs, it felt like the songs were written by a spirit as the lyrical vibe stretches the desire to listen more and get the interpretation of all things that life presents to you.
The song has a calming effect on my psyche and always makes me remember home. Growing up was tough for me and my siblings. Through it all, my parents stood by us, assuring us that life will be sorted out with time. We believed them because we have seen and heard about such testimonials before.
Back in the day, we used to say that the kind of song you listen to models your personality. This statement is so true.
In the early '90s, when dad was working out of town. He comes back home fortnightly. When there remained a few days for him to return we always looked up to receiving him because we knew he would come with a lot of goodies. The joy of my mother could be seen from afar in those moments.
At other times, before he returns, my mom would go the extra mile to ensure we do not starve. I love her courage. She was a woman like a man. Though the vacuum of my dad's absence is felt, my mom always fits into the space to make us feel at home.
Hence, Boiz II Men did me a lot of good when his song was released. The song titled: Mama is a typical song for how I feel towards my mother. The beginning of the song reminds me of the patience and endurance my mom exhibited throughout our trying times.
The melody and lyrics of the song which I evergreen resonate with me on a deep level that most times I find myself lost in thought transported to the time when we had to sweat carrying loads on our heads under the hot sun.
The song has a positive impact on my mental well-being. The song pushes me to put a call across to my mom. Each time she takes my call, she quickly tells me to be strong and always remember the son of whom I am.
No doubt, music is food to the soul. The very nutrient that helps someone Mount up with wings or to be inspired. Music sometimes motivates you to go the mile and do extra beyond your ordinary capacity. Before I settled for Boiz II Men special song to Mama, I had loved to listen to Lucky Dube. His songs help me to know what my rights are and how to know whether our government is responsible or not.
This is why I opted for slow songs. Blues, RnB are the best songs for me. It helps me to think and reflect on what life is all about. This is why I love to encourage a lot of people to choose the kinds of songs they listen to.
Music is a replica of the character you want to live or exhibit. Choose wisely.
