Today's (Midnight) Music Mondays is a couple hours late after having a couple surprise guests, but don't think I would leave you out there hanging :)
Tonights pick is a sweet breeze from the all time classics. There's something about Anita Baker's rich and full voice that moves something in me every time I hear it. It's that unique sound that sets her apart from the masses. Can you imagine her trying to imitate Aretha Franklin or Billie Holiday? Wouldn't it be a horrible waste of a beautiful talent? And yet, we often try to pick apart our distinctive characteristics that make us who we are, just because we don't blend in to the crowd. It's a horrible lie to think that we all have to copy the same fashion, want certain careers or act certain ways, to be successful and respected. I think true success is finding your very own place in this world and respect will follow when one dares to follow his/her heart, because that's what speaks loudest to people. A fearless heart, beating relentlessly it's own rhythm and sound is what moves and inspires, and in the end, will leave a mark behind.
