Between 1997 and 2004, Philly was the hotspot for neo-soul music. I was in grad school at Temple University then and often visited this spot called The Five Spot, where every Tuesday, they had live performances from mostly local Philly artists. The cover was only $5, and for that, you would get to see artists like Jill Scott, Jaguar Wright, Kindred and the Family Soul, The Jazzyfatnastees, The Roots, and many others perform with local house bands. Those were some of the best years of my life. This mix features the type of musical vibes being played weekly. The set was called Black Lily because it showcased mostly Black female artists who were being shut out of jam sessions around the country then. Enjoy:)

Black Lily Mix

[Verse 1 – Male]
Every night when you close your eyes
I hope you feel my heart by your side
Diin ka man, bisan ano pa'ng distansya
Akon paghigugma, indi gid maguba

No need to question, no need to guess
You're my peace in this world of mess
Tagsa ka gab-i, I pray you see
Nga sigurado ka, you belong with me

[Chorus – Both]
Wala sing duha-duha, I’m here for you
Through every storm, every shade and hue
Mahal, indi ka pagbay-an
You’re the best thing that ever began

Gusto ko sumigaw sa kalibutan
Nga ikaw ang panakamaayo nga lalake
Wala na 'ko ginapangita pa
Kay ikaw lang gid, ikaw lang bala

[Verse 2 – Female]
Don’t say those words like you’re letting go
Mahal ko, indi ko gusto nga madula ka, no
You’re my calm, my home, my flame
And loving you, I feel no shame

I’ve known pain, I’ve seen goodbye
But with you, love finally feels right
You held me close when I fell apart
Ginpuno mo ako sang imo tagipusuon (you filled me with your heart)

[Bridge – Male]
Baby, kung kahadlok mo lang kabudlay
Pamatian mo lang ang akon tingog sa kagab-i
Saying “Mahal, I’m not leaving”
This love — it’s worth believing

[Bridge – Female]
Kag bisan may away, I won’t run
You’re my forever, my only one
So let’s keep building, hand in hand
On this love that only we understand

[Final Chorus – Both]
Wala sing duha-duha, I’m here for you
No lies, no fear, just love that’s true
Ginahalinan mo ang akon ngiti
Kag ginabatyag ko nga ako gid ang pili

Gusto ko sumigaw sa kalibutan
Nga ikaw ang panakamaayo nga lalake
Wala na 'ko ginapangita pa
Kay ikaw lang gid, ikaw lang bala

[Outro – Male, softly]
So close your eyes, feel my soul
You're my purpose, you make me whole
Tagsa ka gab-i, indi gid pagkalimti
Nga ikaw ang rason nga buhi pa 'ko sini

Wala Sing Duha-Duha

You will always have a permanent place in my mind.
