I Just Think She's Fly: Goapele

I discovered Goapele's music when I lived in Chicago about six years ago. The first song I heard was "Closer," and it changed my life! (not really, but if you've heard the song, you know what I mean.)

It's the perfect song to get you in the mindframe for reflection and self-evaluation.

The lyrics are potent:

"Closer to my dreams

I’m goin’ higher and higher

I ain’t gonna sleep

Sometimes you just have to let it go (Let it go, let it go)

Leaving all my fears to burn down

Push them away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams"

Whenever I'm feeling stagnant, I often play this song (usually putting it on repeat). And sooner or later, I'm able to restore a sense of purpose, a feeling of hope or a spark of creativity.

Without the natural beauty, without the class and withouth the grace....this song, alone, makes Goapele fly!
