Song Blog

I had to go with one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs for this blog. His music is so heart-felt and his lyrics are so deep that I couldn't pass up another chance to brag about him! The song I chose is called "Ribbon in the Sky".

This is a beautiful piano ballad, written and produced by Mr. Wonder himself. It is definitely on the more emotional side, as many people choose for to be their wedding song. The main line of the song is "There's a ribbon in the sky for our love". It is a song about a current love, no heart breaking or missing someone.

The first line basically says "I am so glad to have found you" and "If I can make you happy can we stay together". The second verse says "Our love isn't a lucky chance, it's a ribbon in the sky". It obviously sounds better in song form.

The music is a very important aspect of this song, and basically any other Stevie song. The piano is the biggest part of the music, with one large solo at the end of the song. The slow tempo of the song gives it a lovey kind of feel, too. It is just an amazing song from one of the greats.

Here's a link to listen to the song if any of you guys want to. It's a pretty sweet live version. Stevie's incredible vocal prowess is put on display at the very end of the song.

  3. I loooveeee piano. I played it for like 11 years when I was little, and I have such an appreciation for it. The chords can say more than the words of the songs sometimes... I am always left impressed by how the music can enhance lyrics.
