good music still thrives

nelly furtado's recent single 'say it right' is actually doing well in the us...it's a little hope that the sad scenario of hip hop dominating with producer of the moment beats and rehashed lyrics and samples might be eventually coming to a close. of course she did enlist timbaland to produce the album but he created a lush soundscape for this song. because of her singing style i didn't really know what the song was about but i knew from the melody and the arrangement that it was poignant and i liked it. here's the lyrics which are astonishingly gorgeous along with a dirty sexy remix of the song by the dummies...enjoy "
"Say It Right"
In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
I can't say that
I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that
I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel
I could show
You tonight you tonight
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
From my hands
I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth
I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body
I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?
