Three Tunes Recommendation.
Music is powerful, it has the opportunity to heal and to give a better perspective. Many people have used it to show their intention, speak of love, and share their struggles and most people have used it to explain their side of a story so the audience can have a better understanding which might have gotten lost during a media interview. Songs are powerful and it's a tool that expresses pain, love, and hurt and explains the narrative. Music cuts across every aspect of life. Music is so beautiful and that's why you hear the birds chirp, the trees clap their hands and the oceans give such a magnificent tune with the waves. Even the rain paints a beautiful colour of music...isn't that fascinating?
I would be sharing diverse music from Akon for my TTT today, ranging from the one about love and the one which he used to explain his side of the story based on the event in his life.
The first song for today's TTT is:
Artist: "Akon"
Title of Song: "Don't Matter"
I know this song from A to Z when I was little and I would easily rap it to feel as though we wrote the song together π€£π€£ππ€£. Akon's songs were so big back then especially when he released "Lonely". Everyone would be blasting it loudly with every chance they get and you just have to love Akon songs back then. "Don't Matter" was recorded in 2006 and released in 2007. What do you expect when you have a fusion of Bob Marley and R. Kelly on a song? It is a powerful song that was written by these people and it came out to be a masterpiece.
This song speaks about the love a guy has for a lady despite so many oppositions. A lot of people don't want them together but he said it doesn't matter as long as he still has her. Love is a personal affair and it doesn't matter what others think as long as it's genuine, you would want to hear the critics speak over the applause because it's a private party between two people and no one else matters. A lot of people have allowed themselves to fall out of love because of what others think or would think. They are people pleasers and would rather lose their happiness than lose the approval of others which is wrong.
The song speaks about how mistakes happen but your heart still tells you with whom you belong. It also speaks of how others would go to any length to ruin what's going good for others just because they can. Love sees beyond all that... Love isn't blind, it sees but chooses to ignore, but of course, it should not be about things that demoralize or brings another partner down. He also spoke about his flaws of putting other ladies ahead of her even though his heart beats for her. He is quick to apologize but personal I think it shouldn't just be about apology alone but about doing what's right to make her feel special. She should always take the center stage and be that only one lady.
The second song for today is:
Artist: "Akon"
Title of Song: "Sorry, Blame It On Me"
There is a reason why I love this song so much and I sang it with my heart back then as though we wrote the song together. I would never support what Akon did, never because having engagement with underage is a no-no but it's about the attitude he had after it. This song speaks about taking responsibility for one's actions after he was accused of being with a minor. He took responsibility and apologized to everyone; his mother, his girl and son, his fans and of course the girl in question. He spoke about his struggles while growing up and all he made his mother go through. He apologized for his part in how everything turned out.
He also assumed responsibility for others. He spoke about how others failed to take responsibility for their actions, especially the girl's father and how the father allowed her to be out. He spoke about how the club in question also failed to take responsibility for allowing a girl that was underage to be inside the club that is meant for 21 years and above. He claimed he didn't know but with the law, ignorance is never an excuse. He took responsibility and for those who didn't take responsibility and kept pointing fingers at him still, he said for the sake of the fans, he took the blame.
He admit his imperfections and genuinely apologized for those he let down in the process.
The last song I will be sharing today is:
Artist: "Akon"
Title of Song: "Right Now"
Akon spoke of himself as a lover boy here. A relationship is full of drama and no one is perfect. This song speaks of how imperfect he is and his ex-girlfriend too. After having clarity on how they didn't handle the situation so well, he missed the moments they had together and he wish for them to be together right there. There are so many regrets we have in the hindsight and this is what happened to Akon in this song with his ex-girlfriend as well...thinking of how they could have done things better and they would have still been together right now.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's whyΒ I advise people to take a dose of "Olawalium" daily. π

Hey I'm a fan of Akon! I love all his music including the music of Iyaz, Sean Kingston. All those 2009 music from African pop singers are really really iconic and nostalgic. They make the world go party.
