Sir Duke – Stevie Wonder

Sir Duke – Stevie Wonder

This is such a joyful , exuberant song. The music is amazing, the melodic horn lines blow me away. Even the chord changes have a couple surprises.  We’ll definitely learn some writing tricks to put in our tool kits. For now, listen to the song HERE. Here’s the lyrics...

Sir Duke – Stevie Wonder

(verse)

Music is a world within itself with a language we all understand

With an equal opportunity for all to sing and dance and clap their hands

But just because a record has a groove don’t make it in the groove

But you can tell right away, at letter A, when the people start to move

(chorus)

They can feel it all over, they can feel it all over people

They can feel it all over, they can feel it all over people

(verse)

Music knows it is and always will be one of the things that life just won’t quit

But here is some of music’s pioneers that time will not allow us to forget

For there’s Basie, Miller, Satchimo, and the king of all Sir Duke

And with a voice like Ella’s ringing out there’s no way the band can loose

(chorus)

You can feel it all over, you can feel it all over people

You can feel it all over, you can feel it all over people

He repeats this same chorus a couple more times, substituting “I can feel it all over” and sometimes asking “Can you feel it all over?”

The answer? Yes, we can Stevie. Yes we can.

This is going to be a fun week.

Enjoy!

PS. Sorry about not being able to do Saturday’s song. I was a little overwhelmed with projects. I’ll try and sneak one of the songs in this week.
