Alessia Cara - Here

[@alessiacara]

To those asking, it's an isaac hayes sample (Which portishead also sampled) from the song Ike's rap II

[@JoshuaDuncanOfficial]

Alessia Cara Tricky, too! "Hell Is 'Round The Corner". I love Portishead's use of it, but for me, Tricky's flip is the one that gets deep in my bones. I'm really diggin' on what you've done with it, as well, just upon the first listen. Gonna listen about a thousand more times now.

[@Swurveitup]

This song is amazing. Listening to it helps remind me I'm not the only one going through a rough patch. I guess if you need to get over something or someone, you just gotta learn how to compartmentalize all of your feelings about the situation and do the only things that make you happy, no one else. Eventually these things will lead to a better life and better people, it just sucks because sometimes its way easier to just sit around and mope, feeling sorry for yourself. In this world full of impermanence, why cheat yourself out of experiencing everything this amazing life has to offer just because someone or something had a negative effect on you. Take that as a lesson and become a better person from it, that way you can possibly help someone else having a hard time and maybe, just maybe find true happiness. Stay strong, and keep your head up!

Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here And I can't wait till we can break up outta here Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this An anti social pessimist but usually I don't mess with this And I know you mean only the best and Your intentions aren't to bother me But honestly I'd rather be Somewhere with my people we can kick it and just listen To some music with the message (like we usually do) And we'll discuss our big dreams How we plan to take over the planet So pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand That I'll be here Not there in the kitchen with the girl Who's always gossiping about her friends So tell them I'll be here Right next to the boy who's throwing up 'cause He can't take what's in his cup no more Oh God why am I here? Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here oh oh oh I ask myself what am I doing here? Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here And I can't wait till we can break up outta here Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator Some girl's talking 'bout her haters She ain't got none How did it ever come to this I shoulda never come to this So holla at me I'll be in the car when you're done I'm standoffish, don't want what you're offering And I'm done talking Awfully sad it had to be that way So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready And I'm standing by the TV with my beanie low Yo I'll be over here Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here oh oh oh I ask myself what am I doing here?

It did to me as well. I hope the fact this song is popular enough to get airtime, will awaken others to the realization they're not alone, and to not be afraid to speak up & go against the mainstream. Realize the distractions are there & there for a reason. Best of everything to you, good luck, & keep making those plans with your friends to help change the world! :) ✌

Reminds me of my college days, and being dragged out to house parties by friends.

This is sampled from an old Isaac Hayes song. Portishead also sampled that same song for one of their tunes. That being said, I like what Cara did with it---this was actually based on a party she went to, and decided she didn't want to be there. So she wrote this from experience---I love it, too.
