Hi Twanna, thanks for comments. I love this track, your songs are touching, personal, beautiful and your voice is amazing. Your father is a true legend and it's wonderful you are keeping him alive through your music. I also am mad about in your words "Fonk". I was in love with Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson Five and then I heard Marvin Gaye and that was it...I've never been the same since. I remember dancing so much to Ike and Tina we had great times growing up with all that wonderful music. I got to see one of my fav bands last year Earth Wind and Fire, Philip Bailey is still incredible. I"m also a mad fan of Maxwell too gorgeous for words and Aretha Franklin, MJ Blige, Erykah Badu, etc etc,,, the list is too long. I hope you tour Australia...I"m still trying to get to the States and really want to go to New Orleans.
I hope to see you tour!!!

Hi Twanna

Knew I was going to love this piece, right from the moment it started,it was cemented when you started your vocal, such a stunning vocal girl, so much soul and feeling in it, prob you and AJ here are the most gifted artist here, when it comes to soul music,but as I have learnt over time, you do have great variety, with your vocal what you can deliver whatever the genre is, this track is testament to that...Amazing girl...totally amazing...Peace and much respect...Mosaic formly ELSD....

Thank you so much, my dear friend. My father's passing is a great loss to me. Even with his passing, there are a lot of people, who did not really know my father, continue to pass judgement on him based on a piece of fiction. That piece of "fiction", dressed up to look like "non-fiction", cost my father his career and eventually, his life. When your entire livelihood is predicated upon your acceptance and that is destroyed, you cease to exist. This is what happened to my father. He died long before he drew his last breath. His death was not due to another type of intoxication besides that of hate. Hate, which was beyond his control. So, it consumed him and he let go in order to be in peace.

I still carry a lot of pain, but with the Lord's healing salve, I keep pressing on.

Did not mean to ramble on, but thank you so much for your appreciation.

Have a wonderful and blessed day:)

Excellent track. Kinda sound like Ike. I saw Ike shortly before he died. He put on a great show. Great entertainer and musician.

What a powerful voice you have. Sorry to read that your father has passed away. My father died in december too, but in 2006. It wasn't happy holidays for me and my close relatives.

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank you for your condolences and I offer mine to you as well. What I have learned since my father's passing is that when our loved ones leave us here in this realm, they have just moved on to another phase of life. Just as being in the womb is one phase, being born is another, then leaving this body to go on to the next phase of living. This understanding has helped me tremendously, hope it does for your too.

God bless.

So, at this stage of my life there isn't a lot that leaves me speechless....

but this track has done exactly that. I'm seriously at a loss for words to describe this.

So I hope my standing and giving you a few minutes of applause will suffice.

WOW!!!!!!!

I had to download this one. Thank you for your generosity :)

Thank you Bear for you very kind words and appreciation. Creating music has always been an outlet for me to convey where I am at that time. I love your mantra "I only have one life, so what you see is what you get." That would have been a great one for my father to live by.

Thank you again.

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank you so much, ImproveWithError. The apprecition means a lot to me. This song is very special to my heart being it was in reply to some pretty negative stuff being said about my father after his death. The music are loops I compiled to create the mood and house the vocals.

Thanx again and have a blessed week.

Description : The Disfigured Firefighter was a loving husband and father who risked his life fighting the flames. After suffering horrific burns, he knew he had only days left to live. Unable to face his wife and children in his new condition, he chose to stay away. He wanted them to remember the man he once was, not the broken man the fire had left behind. In the end, he faced death alone, carrying only their memories.

Description : This is a re upload of a song that I uploaded here a long while back. I made an official music video for the track which is out on YouTube now. The video features me and is very heavy on VFX. Search ' Sweet Seventeen - Sayam Raj Sagar (Official Music Video) 'for the full 4K VIDEO on YouTube.
Hope you enjoy my futuristic song and I would love some feedback on the video. Thanks guyz! The song is fully original and is not from the AI era. I created it earlier in 2024
