soul rb original unique real music skye yahara
Neo Soul, R & B, Traditional, Oldies
Sup peoples. My name is Skye, BKA Yahara by those who know me a little better. My sound and style is very versatile ranging from Ray Charles, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, Kelly Price, Donny Hathaway, Louis Armstrong, Nancy Wilson, The Temptations... I mean the list just goes on and on. I am working on some professional stuff, but I have had some people bothering me to put something up so they can hear what the sound is like. Well, besides it being a little distorted (keep in mind I did this on my EMACHINES computer with no helpful software) I think it gets the point across. Tell me what you think though.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song a few years ago for self-encouragement. I only could write the chorus and didn't understand how the verses should go. One day, before I went to bed, I just began to write. The lyrics are the result of that five minutes of typing. It's inspired by India.Arie, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Beethoven and Donny Hathaway :-)
Lyrics
Well everybody wants to be the so-called perfect picture of perfection, and everybody wants to be accepted for the color of their complexion.... But a thought... When you think of how you think... And you feel the way you feel... Is it really up to you? I might dare to say (that it aint!) Well I'm just tryna open up ya mind into some interrogation... Cause when you really consider the state of this so-called great U-S nation... Will you please open up your eyes... You might find a big surprise So don't compromise.... Listen to the words I say.... Chorus If ya livin ya life for somebody else (you'll never be happy witchaself) If ya living ya life for somebody else (free yaself, free yaself) If ya living ya life for somebody else (you'll never be happy wit yaself) If ya living ya life for somebody else (you will never be) You will not be happy with the way you chose to live You will not be happy with the way you chose to live I'm flippin through the channels tryna find somethin to catch my attention And I'm readin all the books and magazines tryn to further my education But why? When the things I see are skewed... And the books should be renewed! Tell the people the truth and not just the well accepted... Now people wanna go with what they think is commonly accepted To keep their level of their low-esteem arrogantly protected and I know that this song may not sell.... But this story I must tell! It's written outta love... people here me please..... Chorus Bridge I'm not tryna preach I'm just talkin about my own introspection Cause the concept of my own intellect is my own perception And the truth has never been popular amongst a sea of liars but it's always in front of us if we just open our eyes..... Hey.... Talkin bout my India.Arie.. Talkin bout my Stevie.... Can't forget about Donny Hathaway- he had a REAL message to sing And even Lil ' Wayne cuz the vessel of the truth matters not... It's the God in you... that's the truth! And you should really be happy with the way you really chose to live You should really be happy with the way you chose to live! You should REALLLY be so Happy with the way you chose to live.... You should reallly be happy with the way you chose to live... Oh yeah you should really.... Really really really really really really really really Oooooo really really FREE YOURSELF! FREE YOURSELF! FREE YOURSELF! Really really really really really really really really really... Oooooo really really really really.... Ending You this message that I share today Is not for you to throw away Please hear my cry and hear my plea Cause all I want is for you to be free Free yourself free yourself free yourself Free yourself free yourself free yourself Free yourself free yourself free yourself Free yourself free yourself free yourself Hey.... Be free, yeah Be free, yeah Be free, yeah Be free.... Be free, yeah Be free, yeah Be free...........
