Esperanza Spalding's incredibly beautiful waltz Heaven in Pennies. Words fail me.......but not Esperanza......
Look at you
Too proud to say what you mean
What? the bell in the church of your mind
Ain't been swung in such a long time
Dull brass and spiderwebs, choking the sound
Locks on the gate round your fountain, all dry
Pretty cherubs of stone await silver rain from the sky
[Hook]
Why?
You might come down and open your mind
Down searching the ground for pennies
I wish for a voice from the sky
While searching the ground the pennies
[Verse 2]
Open the door to your steeple
It’s empty where people would gladly
Give a coin to restore your rosy window panes
Broken and boarded up
Others come mending the curtains
Re-roping the bell that reminds you to move
While you pray
Polish and ring on down
Each wish you make
Children now splash in the fountain
The coins we have counted are laid on a plate
To feed them more
[Hook]
Now
Now come down and open your mind
Start searching the ground for pennies
We all wish for our riches on high
And still search the ground for pennies
[Outro]
Now
We all wish for our riches on high
And still search the ground for pennies
Oh, come down and open your mind
Start searching the ground for pennies
We all wish for a voice from the sky
While searching the ground the pennies
Now come down and open your mind
We're searching the ground for pennies
We all wish for a voice from the sky
While searching the ground for pennies
Oh, come down and open your mind
Keep searching the ground for pennies
We all wish for our riches on high
While working the ground for pennies

ROBERT GLASPERS PLAYING IS BREATH TAKING MAN, ESPERANZA'S VOICE IS BREATH TAKING, I FORGET SHES PLAYING BASS AT THE SAME TIME. BRUH

@backbeatben 4 года назад

Everyone asking why she doesn’t release on spotify etc. it’s because the idea of the album was to improvise new songs and record them in 3 days. There would only be 7,777 copies available (if I remember correctly). The copies were priced a bit more than your regular $9.99 digital download; a CD was $50 and I think vinyl was upwards to $250-$350 a copy. Anyways, if she were to re-release, it defeats the purpose of this - the idea that some of our best work comes out as it’s being created and improvised. And like most of the music we make, it’s created then vanished into thin air. This is one of the best songs on the album though :) Glad I could snag a copy of the album when I did 😄

@ImperfectD 3 года назад

Well said! I hope you, like me, were lucky to grab one of her rare vinyls! Only the test pressing vinyls were up to $200+ bucks, however I was fortunate to grab one of the last few $60 vinyls and attend most of the 3 day live stream. It was truly magical and very inspirational and I wish others would take from her examples and lead as artist. Much of today is so capitalized and commercialized to her point so we could all learn from Esperanzas approach. 💚 The exposure project is forever with me. 💚

@TGcomments 6 лет назад

I'd buy the album "Exposure" in order to support the artist, but it's no longer available on general release. If she released another 5,000 copies they'd be snapped up in no time, it's worth it for the awesome "swimming towards the black dot" alone. I hope she re-releases the album for the sake of her listeners.

@MrProgpromoter 6 лет назад

@@loonaya do you have a link to the stream?

@loonaya Год назад

@@kardRatzinger It's not a hard find. It takes you less time than me writing this message. Just type the name of the song on youtube and the second or third thing that pops up (EXPOSURE). There are other songs as well on yt. It was streamed live on facebook I think back then when she was recording it.

@kardRatzinger Год назад

@@loonaya That's what I did. Is that the "Snippet 8" thing?

@loonaya Год назад

@@kardRatzinger In snippet 8 thing they are listening Esperanza's bass and vocal ideas for the song and preparing for the recording which is probably in snippet 9 which I can't find. But the actual recording, just the demo without the preparing in the studio is also there. It's called Esperanza Spalding's EXPOSURE (just that, no snippet or anything) on her own channel, it's 6:54 long, and the screenshot of Robert Glasper's head with the headphones on is the thumbnail.

Lyrical wise, (IMO) She is encouraging us to be honest about our supplications, answer to them, and take nothing less than what you desire. Also, to match your morale with your goal as far as the chorus of the song...You are looking up at all the possibilities, but you are still trying to gain provision from low places. Morale and Goal should be congruent. That's what I have. I'm sure others have interpretations...This is a lovely song :-) Commenters also have the lyrics posted...

@tactiletinkerer 2 года назад
