Going On

So I'm a mark for music - I love it - the beats, the words, the meanings...it's rare in today's musical landscape for a song to come out that stirs up so much emotion in me...a song that reaches into my soul...a song that takes me back to moments...to places...to people...good, bad, and everything in between.

This song is one that hits me. This song is one that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear it. This song is one that takes me back to moments, to places, and to certain people. This song is straight jammin'.

This song is "Going On" by Gnarls Barkley.

The video is brilliant...

Lyrics...posting without permission, I don't own 'em...tough...written by Gnarls Barkley (Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green).


I've seen it with my own eyes
How we're gettin' otherwise
Without the luxury of leavin'

The touch and the feeling of free is
Intangible technically
Something you've got to believe in

Connect the cause and effect
One foot in front of the next
This is the start of a journey

And my mind is already gone
And though there are unknowns
Somehow this doesn't concern me

And you can stand right there if you want

But I'm going on
And I'm prepared to go it alone
I'm going on
To a place in the sun that's nice and warm
I'm going on
And I'm sure they'll have a place for you too

Anyone that needs what they want
And doesn't want what they need
I want nothing to do with

And to do what I want
And to do what I please
Is first off my to-do list

But every once in a while I think about her smile
One of the few things I do miss
But baby I've got to go
Baby I've got to know
Baby I've got to prove it

And I'll see you when you get there

But I'm going on
And I'm prepared to go it alone
I'm going on
May my love lift you up to the place you belong
I'm going on
And I promise I'll be waiting for you...
