I choose love rendition

I found the sleeve with Sam Cooke’s face 

Wonderful World in a paper case 

The needle crackled like a voice from home 

That record spun like a prayer alone 

Then Aretha called from a faded sleeve 

Respect was worn but it still believed 

I held the vinyl like a sacred scroll 

That soul was fire that soul was gold 

Boxes stacked like memory towers 

Dust and dreams and listening hours 

Every groove a fingerprint 

Of who we were and what we meant 

It was the trip 

The one that music takes you on 

From the first note to the break of dawn 

It was the trip 

The one that never leaves your bones 

Even when the store is gone 

Stevie’s Songs in the Key of Life 

Played like thunder in the quiet night 

Earth Wind and Fire lit the room 

With September dancing through the gloom 

Prince in purple Michael in light 

Whitney’s voice like a satellite 

It was the trip 

The one that music takes you on 

From the first note to the break of dawn 

It was the trip 

The one that never leaves your bones 

Even when the store is gone 

Alicia’s keys Adele’s cry 

Amy’s soul Beyoncé’s rise 

Vinyl ghosts in cardboard skies 

It lives in crates and hearts and air 

It plays in silence everywhere 

It was the trip 

The one that music takes you on 

From the first note to the break of dawn 

It was the trip 

The one that never leaves your bones 

Even when the store is gone 

I still hear Sam 

I still hear Aretha 

I still hear Stevie 

I still hear Prince 

I still hear me 

every spin In every trip...In every record store trip .in every groove the music ..Just ..fit
