Artist: Aretha Franklin and George Michael
Title: I Knew You Were Waiting For Me
Favourite Lyrics:
When the river was deep, I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
Why?: In tribute to Aretha Franklin, I racked my brain. Of course “Respect” is a great song and would have been the go to for her. But in my own personal list of music and what it means to me, this is the first song I could recall from my youth where I knew who she was. She was that older black singer with a great voice and she’s singing a song with George Michael. I liked this song. The lyrics still speak to me. The songs I like are about love. This chorus is no different. But there’s momentum here. A desire to move forward because my lover will wait for me to reach these goals.
