37183, OKAYPLAYER EXCLUSIVE - D'ANGELO "Really Love" Lyrics
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 01:06 PM
D'angelo is BACK!! Listen to the new song called "Really Love" where he talks about, um, really love, yeah! Its new!! D' is BACK!! It's been a while but I think we can all agree it has been worth the wait.

(Okayplayer Exclusive, you didn't read this on here)

fa da hmm fa mee
maying wu do sa may wee
fo da hmm fa wahee
to do bah, I'm in really love whichu

fa da hmm fa mee
maying wu do sa may wee

(chorus)
ah ya ta da fa mah

(verse 2)
fa da hmm fa mee
maying wu do sa may wee

(OKP Exclusive, you didn't read this on here)

Eff dat I love that mumble magic, sounded like music to my ears when I heard it. Leave it to D'angelo: The only dude that can mumble on a track and make that shit sound fluently funky.

James Brown had his cityfied country jibberjabber fast talk slang
D'angelo got his magic mumbles.
37187, what about black thought?
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 01:25 PM
give it here, dont say nuthin
37188, Amen^^^^^^
Posted by beat slanger, Wed Apr-18-07 01:26 PM
Opinion is opinion, but I'm siding with you.
37189, im still saying, how do we even know that's D'angelo
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 01:29 PM
sorta sounds like him and of course this demo can be just that, a demo sketch that is simply an idea.

i personally think its a shame that there is all this hype around it like its really some ill shit. the music is cool and I love (really) Voodoo and Brown Sugar. I would love to have new music from D' to bump this summer. I'll wait for the real shit to drop.
37190, sorta sounds like him?
Posted by beat slanger, Wed Apr-18-07 01:39 PM
come on. stop kidding yourself.
37191, pffft, its easy to sound like that whe you aint saying nothin
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 01:41 PM
you ever heard some of ?uest's impressions. im just saying, despite the music being cool and us all wanting to hear D, this track is DOO DOO. It might turn into something cool but right now, it aint shit.
37192, I find it hard to believe that it's an impression.
Posted by beat slanger, Wed Apr-18-07 01:49 PM
The timbre of the voice, the melodic ideas, the way the harmonies are stacked are all distinctly D.
37193, i cant disagree, but it wouldnt be a very good impression if it didnt sound like D
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 01:58 PM
D is distinct, so it makes it easier for someone to impersonate. If you asked me to put 100$ down I would say it is D. I am just being devil's advocate while pointing out that it is April, ?uesto is known to play April fools, he did water mark the song saying it was his exclusive while also saying that you didnt get it from him (which is funny in itself), and the vocals can barely be discerned. I mean, how bad would ?uesto have gotten all of us if this was April fools.

At the end of the day, I stand by my opinion that this track is nothing to get excited over simply for the lyrical weirdness. Yes, D can be tough to understand and that's part of his freshness, but let's be serious.
37194, for you "this track is nothing to get excited over simply for the lyrical weirdness"
Posted by beat slanger, Wed Apr-18-07 02:23 PM
I on the other hand base me like and dislike of music on feel and sound and barely pay attention to lyrics. I wish lyrics meant more to me, but they just dont. I'd rather have someone speak nonsense and make it sound great (see Sigur Ros' () album), than have someone sing the answers to the meaning of life in a manner that was bland. Don't get me wrong, to have both great feel/sound and great lyrics is great, but for me this was more about the sound of it.

Another thing that makes me think this is legit and not a joke is the guitar. Russ Elevado said that the new D stuff focuses more on writing with the guitar. *shrugs*

But alas, this is indeed a post about lyrics, so I'll respect that and move on.

37195, I get that you're being facetious
Posted by Starbaby Jones, Wed Apr-18-07 04:32 PM
but I'm talking about cats looking for words or complaining about the lack thereof to a song that's clearly a rough demo.
37196, as a 'Song' yeah...but the harmony/melody is dope
Posted by theScholar3000, Wed Apr-18-07 02:42 PM
even if (isn't?) D. it gives hope to the D fans that another album
is coming in their lifetime...lol

its a rough
i got a gazillion joints and this is how they start.
the idea is dope
the arrangement is dope
his harmony ideas are dope
you just have to imagine the idea of this.

37198, RE: im still saying, how do we even know that's D'angelo
Posted by Cudjoes_Tree, Wed Apr-18-07 06:58 PM

if it is a joke, it would be the greatest april fool joke yet here (been a undercover watching of this board for a min). Regardless, even with not knowing what the hell he is saying, it's some good music

first post!!!!

37200, Just a thought
Posted by Starbaby Jones, Wed Apr-18-07 02:14 PM
Maybe, just maybe, we were listening to an incomplete song and we couldn't understand him because there weren't any lyrics yet. I know a lot songwriters, myself included, that write the melody before the actual words. So he could've just been tracking himself to get the melody down before he went back and wrote lyrics.
37201, ^^^^^^ 1st person to make sense ^^^^
Posted by ruqbill, Wed Apr-18-07 02:45 PM

As for OKPDAN , Are you just trying to get the people
talking or you just missed the obvious ? This is not
an official song , and it was never intended to be released
in its present form !!! IMHO , just an old session that ?uest
threw out there ( only ?uest knows why !!!)
37202, i stated that earlier in this post that this is cleary just a demo
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 03:44 PM
and that D may have been laying reference melodies (reply #6). I've been at this for a long time, I'm no dummy. Maybe ?uest for some reason thought he was safe in Australia as far as this track getting widespread but when you are talking about an artist who's next work is one of the most anticipated in music, this is the "song" you are going to leak out? this is how the return of D is going to be represented?

no shit its a demo, no shit is rough, no shit its not done. that's the case, why is it getting blasted all over the internet as the NEW D'angelo, whom we have not heard from in years outside of a few minor collabs.

also, i am playing devil's advocate saying it could potentially be a joke. i have yet to see anything factual about this demo other than that ?uest played it on the radio in Australia while noting that ?uest loves his April Fools pranks. I've never seen a rule that says April Fools has to go down on April 1st. Chances are, my April Fools theory is totally WRONG. I'm just saying, shit seems like a joke to me. ha
37203, also
Posted by monk hughes, Wed Apr-18-07 03:29 PM
Didn't ?uest mention something about the Al Green sessions going this way, where they'd sketch out an idea with rough vocals that had no, or very few words. I wasn't creaming my pants about this, but it was cool to hear the track. I'm always interested in the process of getting to the final product.

I can't see ?uestlove pulling an April Fools joke, long after April Fools day, on an Australian radio show, and then telling us all to keep quiet about it.
37204, by the way, ive heard many a story of the years where its been told
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 03:47 PM
d'angelo actually speaks like this
37205, I believe its referred to as "debonics"
Posted by Nij, Wed Apr-18-07 04:33 PM
I think ?uest has D's blessing to leak this. He's been tryna convince D that his shit is dope even tho D himself doesn't thnk it. Maybe ?uest wanted to show D the reaction a leaked demo could produce

Peace

Posted by mistabs, Wed Apr-18-07 05:06 PM
dang I wish I could be this hot to be able to leak half-done songs and put the internet in a frenzy

the melody is catchy, but I'm not reading too much into this - until there's a new album in stores, I'll take this w/ a grain of salt (or a drop of chicken grease)


37207, RE: OKAYPLAYER EXCLUSIVE - D'ANGELO "Really Love" Lyrics
Posted by Black N Proud, Wed Apr-18-07 05:08 PM
Ok so let's get one thing straight, is this going to be D's first single for his upcoming album or not?

I take it that it's (the song) was not in it's final stages on the joint we've all heard so far, but are they planning on releasing this as D's first single?


And on top of that, who is D' signed with now?
37208, first single? lol. what?
Posted by okpdan, Wed Apr-18-07 05:11 PM
first single off what? lol

this is what someone else in this post called "reading into this too much"

even as a demo this does not sound like its headed towards a single. I suppose if maybe T.I. jumped on it.
37209, RE: first single? lol. what?

37213, it's him
Posted by okpdan, Thu Apr-19-07 09:31 AM
james poyser confirmed. questo been all over the map. look, i never said it wasnt. i was making a couple of points, mostly about the fact that people we're really bugging out to this demo when to me, if you are really wanting to hear D, i mean, don't you really want to hear D? i like the way it sounds, always did. i just found it odd that it was the NEW exclusive D'angelo all over the web. James also noted that it was years old.

lastly, if i had been right about the april fools thing, i would have been the only one who called it! so i took a chance and put it out there, lol.

37215, i knew it sounded a little Brown Sugar-ish.

yeah dan, i'm with you on this one. my friend was like, yeah man, its good, and i put it on and am like... okp is going wild for this? call me when dude is making sense, which will most likely be never.
37217, Other hot "mumble" tracks
Posted by BabyGrand, Thu Apr-19-07 12:51 PM
It's not revolutionary or anything, but it sounds good to my ears. Don't y'all remember our main man Black Thought making mumbling sound hot on "Don't Say Nothin'"? I don't care if this is "new" D material or not, I just want another album cot dammit!
37218, my guess at the lyrics....
Posted by da_illest_one, Thu Apr-19-07 05:01 PM
Did you call my name?
may your body change...
may you talk to me...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
forever in love with you...

May I come on in?
I got a thousand nicknames...
but its consequently..
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...

.......
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...

When you make your bed
When you making chicken
When you relaxin' mellow
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...

All that I wished for years...
Lays inside of here...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...
to do what?
I'm really in love with you...

37220, See, now, this is a MUCH better interpretation than mine
Posted by okpdan, Sun Apr-22-07 02:19 PM
i can appreciate this demo song a lot more now.

Yo i'm a huge huge fan of D'angelo, however whether it is him or not to a person who doesnt know d'angelo's music or this kind of music it a great song in this day's climate so let us all enjoy it as genius level music is very hard to find these days!!!

dude gets an unfair rap on the mumbling. i mean, look at james brown. black music has always allowed for creativity in vocal phrasing that allowed for less than crystal clear enunciation.

Posted by johnny kwest, Mon Apr-23-07 05:18 PM
is it just me or does it seem like quest playing a trick on us...does it seem to anybody else that quest just bascially looped like 32 bars of the song and then threw a part of the verse on at the end to give it a more finished structure? i think i remember him doing something similar when folks were trying to download electric circus.
37232, The fuck wrote this.....Buckwheat!?!?!?
