February 10, 2008 Flashback Video: Sade
Oh My Sunday! I woke up this morning in a Sade kinda mood. I played her greatest hits CD and knew I had to post one of her songs for my love muffins. There were plenty of her popular songs that I could have chosen but I’ve always been a fan of the more obscure. Although this song was as popular as some of her others (Kiss Of Life, Smooth Operator, Your Love Is King, etc.), this is probably my favorite song of hers. While the Lyrics are simple, they say so much!
I won’t pretend that I intend to stop living
I won’t pretend I’m good at forgiving
But I can’t hate you
Although I have tried
MMMMI still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
MM MM MM MM MMSitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It’s all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It’s gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow
And just for kicks, here is one of favorite renditions done by Rahsaan Patterson (if you don’t know who he is, you’re really missing out). To remake such a classic song is difficult but he’s the only one I’ve heard that has done it justice and made it his own. I’ve ripped the audio into an mp3 if you like what you hear. Check it out!

The Sade version of this song is on the soundtrack of my life. My ex told me he wore it out after our break up while I was wearing out Sade’s song “You’re not the man”.
Our breakup was all about pride too and it then became a favorite. I think Rahsaan did a nice job as well.
