I Love...
Love is a many-hued spectrum. This homage captures that with dignity and grace. A compositional patchwork that simultaneously draws on a musical ancestry and further enables DL to extend his jazz chops. Smooth.
lyrics
CHORUS
Yo I love the way you make me move (la, la, la, la)
I love it when you do what you do (la, la, la, la)
I love the way you make me feel (la, la, la, la)
So wake me up I’m guessing this is a dream (la, la, la, la)
(la, la, la, la… la, la, la, la)
VERSE 1
I love it when you choose to come round my way
Love it when you call me cos it brightens my day
Over and over girl you run through my mind
Very beautiful in other words you are fine
Every time I see you it increases a touch
Love the way you talk to me and such and such
Even when you angry you a beautiful girl
And I’m overwhelmed that you have entered my world
Never had the chance before to tell you these words
Never had the chance before but now it’s occurred
Everywhere I travel I’m reminded of you
Maybe cos I’m loving all the things that you do
Cos you very special and I’m telling you so
Lady let me tell you cos you probably don’t know
Every time I see you is it something I show?
I just wanna make sure you know what I know
Sometimes I’m thinking can this really be so?
Honestly it is and that’s just how it goes (yeah)
(la, la, la, la)
CHORUS
I don’t even have much more to say on this matter
Listen to my heart because it pitters and patters
Obviously it’s the way I feel about you
Visualizing everything you do when you do
Echoing the words that go round in my mind
Lately I’ve been feeling it much stronger I find
Every time I stop myself from saying what’s right
And I don’t know where you’re at in your life
Needless to say that my feelings are here
Never really want my feelings to disappear
Every time I’m by myself I’m hoping you’re near
Must be that magic that you put in the air
Could it be I’m saying far too much for your ears?
Listen to me carefully and it will become clear
Each and everything I say is tailored for you
In a way you never thought but baby it’s true
So let me know if you’re working this out
Hopefully you’ll know what I’m talking about (for real)
(la, la, la, la)

This track just goes so so HARD! As well as it being an absolute banger, I really adore the impact and meaningful lyrics that Substantial Spits. Specially the lines about his history with Nujabes (R.I.P) cloudydaudy
As soon as I heard the song Like Really I just had to buy the album. Then I finished listening to all the songs, and knew I made a good choice. Oddisee is one of the best hip hop artists on bandcamp. Devin Anderson

Braver Heart Music. Trust the soul Music. Trip over a rock and bust your head music but get back up and brush yourself off music. Galactic Fear me Music. Step over that to get to that music.
