Songs That Saved Your Life


don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you



I'm April. I like music.
I post a song a day whenever I can & my story that goes with it.

Tony! Toni! Toné! - “Let’s Get Down” (6.84MB mp3 file)

The other day I was listening to KDAY (best radio station in Los Angeles) in my car when this jam caught my ear. I had to get out my phone and Shazam it, as I’d never heard it before and missed the DJ’s announcement of the song. (I bought the cassingle of “If I Had No Loot” back in the day, and that’s as far as I went with the triple T.)

After hearing the first verse/chorus combo (ignore the guy rhyming at the beginning), I realized this song sounded just like another one I was very familiar with — but just to make sure I wasn’t crazy, I played it for Andy once I got home.
“Tell me what song you think this sounds like.”
He hummed along for a second and replied, “‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’?”
“YES!” I said. “Isn’t that crazy?”

So yeah, listen to the song above and then try to tell me it’s not a smoothed-out R&B version of the Nirvana hit. Weird, right?
