Everyday Encounter...
|
I was late to the game catching up with "Wakanda Forever", and I've already had Rihanna's "Lift me up" from the film in this series... The reality is that it was a brilliant film, with a powerful soundtrack. I could have picked a whole host of songs that carried emotions and enhanced what was going on in the film, and the reality of a sequel without its leading man due to Chadwick Boseman's absence. That funeral scene at the start was raw. I wonder how many of those tears were real, how much of the ritual we see was created for him by people who wanted to celebrate him in their own way? This song, "Alone" plays as Wakanda prepares to take the fight to Talokan following Namor's flooding of the capital city and his murder of Queen Ramonda. Preparing for what is to come, without the presence of the warrior that led you so capably before? Where does my help come from? Am I really alone in this? God help me. Ooh, ooh, mmh, mmh
It's just another night Just another fight for my life It's alright, because everything dies Nobody know why Wetin I go do? Wetin you go do when you feeling like you're falling And you can't find nothing to hold on to? Memories ahh-ooh Carry me go Carry me go, oh na, yeah Sick and tired of it all, take me far away Mr. DJ, gbemi trabaye Now I no fit trust anybody Na hin mek I no fit shout My body don dey tire, eh E make me madder, eh My head don scatter, eh My Holy Father, eh My body don dey tire, eh E make me madder, eh When my whole world is set on fire Don't leave me alone Wetin you go do? Wetin you go do When you're feelin' like you're screaming really loud? But nobody hears you I see it in your eyes I see in your eyes the betrayal and the lies You've been pulling out knives from your behind Count every blessing Count every lesson You fit no dey tomorrow So I count every second Don't let them take my head And dance over my dead Body, yeah Body, yeah I'm weak, I'm blind five me the strength I need for my body, yeah Body, yeah My body don dey tire, eh E make me madder, eh When my whole world is set on fire Don't leave me alone Don't leave me, don't leave me Don't leave me, don't leave me Don't leave me, don't leave me Oh, God, don't let me go down Don't let me go down As far as I can see, na di memories Dem dey carry me from reality No require visa, I have been Very quietly, yeah And I need you to remind me why Give me the strength to keep fighting 'Cause I no fit trust anybody Na hin mek I no fit shout My body don dey tire, eh E make me madder, eh My head don scatter, eh My Holy Father, eh My body don dey tire, eh E make me madder, eh When my whole world is set on fire Don't leave me alone Ooh, ooh, mmh, mmh Songwriters: Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu / Ludwig Goransson / Peace Oredope
