I bought some new shoes the other week and they still haven't worn in. This song says it all for me today. Literally, it hurts like brand new shoes.
Sade is an amazing singer, I love her voice, her emotive lyrics, and love the production on her tracks... This one is beautiful, the cello, the hallelujahs. There is something so mellow about this song, sometimes this song sounds sad, other times it songs empowering... that is why I like it so much.
This video is a live version as there wasn't a video clip made for Pearls but I think it is nicer to watch anyway. I would love to have been there when this was performed. You can feel the love through the YouTube clip.
This is such a good song for late on a Sunday night...
"There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive"
