Just Love her
The rush of adrenaline climbing her highest mountain
Would you miss you then?
If these mountains were gone
If those sunsets never set
The vibrant colors she creates
Chorus:
I tend to always want what I cant have
Verse:
I hold you in my heart
You give me shelter and life
I have the sun
But I want the clouds
If this was no longer in your possession
Would you miss her then?
Those warm summer days
Praying for that cool breeze
Would you miss her then?
Chorus
Verse:
The shimmering ocean providing the best healing
Would you miss her then?
I have the palm trees
The summer heat feels good on me
But somehow I want the winter solstice
If those sunsets never set
Live in this moment
Would you miss her then?

Just Love Her

Voices
Time heals all pain
But your love makes me see brighter days
Loving me
Holding me
Your honesty
Your love
Are you the one I manifested?
I feel so respected
I thought I found the one
You cleared those clouds away because you are the sun
The warmth, the comfort and the light shining through
You give me the light to grow
I owe my life to you
There is no more rain in my skies
Only a brighter tomorrow
I hope you’ll be there
For all our tomorrows

Negative thoughts keep flowing through my brain
and I'm always trying not to be the same
Please go away
I deserve better
we will get better

Even though the world is suffering
At least we're still breathing

Chorus:
Be strong and hold on
Be strong and hold on
Be strong and hold on
Be strong cause you got so much to give

There's always good in this world of sin
peace can be found when you look within
Life is beautiful
We are wonderful
Life is plentiful

Even though the world is suffering
At Least we're still breathing

(Chorus)

Negative thoughts flowing through my brain
and I'm always trying not to be the same
Life is beautiful
You are wonderful
Life is plentiful

Even though the world is suffering (suffering suffering suffering)

Be strong and hold on
Be strong and hold on
Be strong and hold on
Be strong cause you got so much to give


Be Strong

We are all one living soul being

With the soulutions to our life problems inside of us

Know that all our life problems can be solved by us.

Our choices are changing the world

Love one another unconditionally and be a soulutionary one

Lyrics by Stephanie Nicole

Stephanie wrote Buddha in Aruba to shed light on the issue of society shunning and stifling those who are perceived to be different. She asks, “Are they wrong for being dissimilar?” Judgment only leads to self-hate and anger towards humanity. “Where is our brotherhood and sisterhood?” In a world where individuality is disparaged, it is important that we remember to love.

Lyrics:
You don’t understand and I don’t expect you too
You don’t know what I’ve been through
And I don’t know about you
But I’m willing to understand
If you give me good validations
I see the harm they are causing here
Give them a chance
Let them take a stance
Against the norm
Help them not conform
Let them have a voice
Let them have a choice

Just because their agenda is different than yours doesn’t mean they have to change
Surround them with love, good health and some land to range
How can we do this to our human race?
Criminalize, industrialize, judgment which is a disgrace
Black sheep rise!
Stand tall stand proud
You’re unique which is no surprise
Be true to you
Avoid those who don’t have the best intentions, that don’t need dinero to help you with your relations
Newly found disease, check out our scene with everybody on their screens
Making it hard for many people to understand themselves and to be understood
Where is our brother and sisterhood?
You don’t understand and I don’t expect you too

Buddha In Aruba

Soulutionary One is the long-awaited new album from singer/songwriter Stephanie Nicole. Ever since she dropped her Voices EP back in the spring of 2013, excited ripples have been circulating among the neo-soul cognoscenti about this California-based songstress, and she doesn’t disappoint with this fine set, once again reuniting her with co-producer /co-writer and soulmate Craig Perkins, a.k.a. Classroom Craig. 

Like many a successful artist before her, Stephanie had a stint on stage doing The Wiz, but as well as musical theatre, she also has a background in classical music back in her native Virginia, working with many renowned composers and conductors and picking up awards as she went (the ‘Festival Choir’ competition won three years in a row 1999-2001 as a member of the Select Women’s Ensemble). 

Firmly in the tradition of Erykah Badu, Macy Gray and India Arie, Stephanie writes socially-conscious and spiritually uplifting material tinged with her diverse influences drawn from rock, classical and jazz. Real instruments supply a full tone palette for the eclectic range of moods and styles, from the almost post-punk vibe of Replenish to the ‘cosmic’ eastern drone of Maha Meditation. 

Having gigged extensively in both Virginia and Cali in support of the aforementioned EP, Stephanie has also already been included in BamaLoveSoul’s compilation of new music, On Deck 2, and the track Diligence in particular has been receiving lots of attention from discerning critics and DJs everywhere. Expect to hear much more of Ms. Nicole.
