Akua Naru - Poetry: How Does It Feel Now??? //"Live & Aflame Sessions" (Full-HD)

Akua Naru does it again. The hiphop wordsmith brings us back to why we fell in love with her "Journey Aflame" spoken word piece, "Poetry: How Does It Feel?." In "Poetry: How Does It Feel Now???", Naru invites her band DIGFLO into the studio to record a new version, and its ALL LIVE! Recorded and filmed in Cologne's famous Maarwegstudio2, Naru plays with the language like something out of a Toni Morrison novel. Accompanied by live musicians before a small audience, Naru reminds us of what it means to love and long for our beloved, and to never forget to stop, pause, and ask the poetic question: How Does It Feel....Now??? This live version is sure to make you holler...and you can find it on her new Live Album, Live & Aflame Sessions, released by Jakarta records on May 25, 2012.
Get it on Itunes, Amazon, or bandcamp.

Just imagine how peaceful and pure one small moment of time would be with this song just playing. Walking around town, looking around at people having fun and smiling, appreciating how the little things really make living worth it. Or maybe just walking down at the beach while the sun is setting and telling yourself how you wish you could freeze that one moment. Or sitting on a small hill at night going through memories and dreams. It's pretty silly to be honest but right now while I type this silly comment people won't really understand, I'm enjoying this moment of time in my life to really appreciate how amazing music can be.. one love:)

[@carolina1601]

+Rui carmo why is it pretty silly? silly is not to feel, and you can´t understand what you don´t feel, but you do. so don´t worry of those who don´t. It´s just their choices, not to feel. Even not to feel sometimes is the most correct thing to do, it´s a good choice sometimes, but can you control and choose what you feel? you can, in a certain way.....

[@teresacooper4602]

Yeah, yeah Love, uh-huh, hey Love, mm, I told y'all We would be the band to play it [Verse: Akua Naru] My ghetto butterfly flew away from me I wait patiently, by windows and doorsteps Play make-believe as my tears pour, chest Won't succeed to breathe, if not the air of you Surely there has never been a shade so blue A stink attitude, so not mad at you, uh Not a magnitude to encompass the latitude Of my love for you No space or time compatible What do I have to do? What do I have to do? Ooh, my friends say I got it bad for you I do, but there's nothing in this world I'd rather do Uh, but you I want to make love to your existence, uh Drenched in the colors of your energy Then masturbate to the memories I wanna lose myself inside yourself Until you find me, confine me To the freedom of your prison Exist in the same space, same time Combine until your thoughts slow grind with mine Combine until your thoughts slow grind with mine Combine until your thoughts slow grind with mine My, I wanna drink the sweat of your intellect Reflect, and watch your light passion mark my neck Caress the sights of your presence with no question Undress to the nakedness of love, pure love I want to make love to my soulmate, my soulmate Make love to my soulmate, uh, my soulmate Make love to my soulmate, shit I wonder, how does it feel to make love to your soulmate? Kind of like writing poetry till climax Till the point and place where our space and time match And we cross divine paths, tell me, would you like that? Uh Now would you like that? Tell me, would you like that Would you like that? Tell me, would you like that? Would you like that? Uh, I'ma ask you again now, tell me Would you like that? Tell me, would you like that? Now would you like that? Tell me, would you like that? Would you like that? Tell me I wanna love you more than madly, uh Wrap these legs around your words Until your speech is straddled deep, gladly Swim the currents of your vibrations, uh Be separate and one with the same meditation Uh, same meditation Uh, you know what? This right here is poetry Yeah, mm
