FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 ZIMBABWEAN SINGER KWAYE - "SWEETEST LIFE" (INFORMATION, LYRICS, &VIDEO)
Edited by Azizi Powell This pancocojams post presents information about the Zimbabwean born singer KWAYE and showcases his 2017 song "Sweetest Life". The content of this post is presented for cultural, entertainment, andaesthetic purposes.

INFORMATION ABOUT KWAYE From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwaye "Kwayedza Kureya, mononymously known by his stage name KWAYE, is a Zimbabwean singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. He is commonly known for getting introduced to music by the managers of Mind of a Genius record label and musician ZHU. He is also known for working with songwriter and record producer Willson and for releasing his debut extended play, entitled _Solar_, in 2017. Early Life and Career Born in Zimbabwe and raised in London, Kwaye began performing at an early age and grew up playing the viola, sax, and guitar. He later moved to Brighton, United Kingdom to study African-American studies and the music industry. Whilst on a study abroad program in LA, Kwaye played a demo of one of his recently recorded songs for an Uber driver who so happened to be a former A&R executive. The driver sent the demo to Mind of a Genius and within a few weeks, Kwaye became the label's first UK artist. His debut single, entitled "Cool Kids", was released in March 2017. The song, once officially released, was announced to also have side-b track, entitled "Sweetest Life", but was never released onto digital streaming platforms. In May 2017, Kwaye announced the release of his second single, entitled "Little Ones". This was succeeded by its music video, which was originally intended for a release on the Friday of the Manchester shootings, but was pushed back to later date to avoid controversy. It was therefore released on 30 May 2017. In July 2017, Kwaye announced the release of his debut extended play, entitled _Solar_, and revealed his third single, entitled "Sweetest Life". The song, as well as the EP, were released on the same day of25 July 2017."...

LYRICS (Zulu lyrics with English translation): NGIYESABA(as sung by Simmy)
Verse one:
Yath' izibika insizwa, As a young man tries to pursue me, Kungena ngapha kuphume ngale. His words come in one ear and right out through the other.Ung'xolele bhuti,
“Forgive me brother,” Inkinga ayikho kuwe ikimi. “The problem is not you but me”Ngithi ukhona na?
Is there anyone?
Ongavum' ukuth' uthando lulula. Who would affirm that the journey of love is an easy one?Ngithi ukhona na?
I ask, is there anyone? Othi othandweni kuyashelela? Who would affirm that the journey of love is an easy one?Pre-chorus:
Seng'phelile ukusha mina, I’ve been burned one too many times, Seng'khathele ukusha mina. I’m tired of getting burnt. Aw seng'phelile ukusha mina, I’ve been burned one too many times. Aw seng'khathele ukusha mina. I’m tired of getting burnt.Chorus:
Ngiyesaba ukuwela ngonyawo, I am afraid to walk the journey of love barefoot,Ngonyawo.
Barefoot.
Indlela yothando iyahlaba, Because the journey of love is one that is not easy, Indlela yothando iyahlaba. (*2) Because the journey of love is one that is not easy.Verse two:
Aning'chazeleni,
Would someone clarify something to me, Mhlampe khona la ngimosha khona. Maybe I’m the one who is doing something wrong. Ngiyemumva, ngiya phambili, I'm moving backward, and forward,Kona kuyefana.
Everything still remains the same.Ngithi ukhona na?
Is there anyone?
Ongavum' ukuth' uthando lulula. Who would affirm that the journey of love is an easy one?Ngithi ukhona na?
I ask, is there anyone? Othi othandweni kuyashelela? Who would affirm that the journey of love is an easy one?Pre-chorus:
Seng'phelile ukusha mina, I’ve been burned one too many times, Seng'khathele ukusha mina. I’m tired of getting burnt. Aw seng'phelile ukusha mina, I’ve been burned one too many times. Aw seng'khathele ukusha mina. I’m tired of getting burnt.Chorus:
Ngiyesaba ukuwela ngonyawo, I am afraid to walk the journey of love barefoot,Ngonyawo.
Barefoot.
Indlela yothando iyahlaba, Because the journey of love is one that is not easy, Indlela yothando iyahlaba. (*2) Because the journey of love is one that is not easy.-snip-

Labels: South African music WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2019 CLARA WARD SINGERS - WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN (BLACK GOSPEL SOUND FILE, LYRICS, & COMMENTS)) Edited by Azizi Powell This pancocojams post presents information about the 1907 religious hymn "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and information about the renown African American Gospel group the Clara Ward Singers who recorded an adaptation of this song in 1973. This post showcases a 1973 YouTube sound file of the Clara Ward Singers' Black Gospel adaptation of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken". Some comments from that sound file's discussion thread and from the discussion thread for another YouTube sound file of that song are also included in this post. The content of this post is presented for religious, cultural, andaesthetic purposes.
All copyrights remain with their owners. Thanks to the composers of the 1907 song "Will The Circle Be Unbroken". Thanks also to the Clara Ward Singers for their musical legacy. Thanks to all those who are quoted in this post and thanks to the publishers of these sound files on YouTube.****
INFORMATION ABOUT THE RELIGIOUS HYMN "WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN" From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_the_Circle_Be_Unbroken%3F ""Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" is a popular Christian hymn written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. The song is often recorded unattributed and, because of its age, has lapsed into the public domain. Most of the chorus appears in the later songs "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" and "Daddy Sang Bass".Other versions
The Ballad Index notes that the tune now commonly sung differs substantially from the original tune by Gabriel. It also notes the first known recording of this variant, by the Metropolitan Quartet in1927.
Carter version
A reworked version of the song, intended as a funeral hymn, was written by A. P. Carter and released in 1935 by the Carter Family. The Carter version, titled "Can the Circle be Unbroken", uses the same music and the same verse structure but with different verse lyrics and a modified chorus. That version has often been recorded as "Will the Circle be Unbroken", including the 1972 performance by Mother Maybelle Carter and ensemble on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album of the sametitle.
The original version of the song does not insert "Lord" in lines 2 and 4 of the chorus, though the Carter version does. Also, the third line of the chorus is phrased as a question in the original, but as a declarative sentence in the Carter version, and the Carter version as written begins the chorus with 'Can' instead of 'Will'. The Carter version is still under copyright."...-snip-

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLARA WARD SINGERS From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Ward "Clara Mae Ward (April 21, 1924 – January 16, 1973) was an American gospel artist who achieved great artistic and commercial success during the 1940s and 1950s, as leader of The Famous Ward Singers. A gifted singer and arranger, Ward adopted the lead-switching style, previously used primarily by male gospel quartets, creating opportunities for spontaneous improvisation and vamping by each member of the group, while giving virtuoso singers such as Marion Williams the opportunity to perform the lead vocal in songs such as "Surely, God Is Able" (among the first million-selling gospel hits), "How I Got Over" and "Packin' Up" ”...****

1. Daniel Chisler, 2015 "Clara and the Ward singers always top notch"**
2. Zhair Miller, 2018 "They took this too Church!!!!"-snip-
Here's a definition for "took me to church" that I included in Part II of a 2018 pancocojams series entitled "What "Took Me To Church", "Sang", "Went In" And Other Black (African American) Church Words & Phrases Mean, Part II" http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2018/09/what-took-me-to-church-sang-went-in-and_1.html. Part II provides definitions for terms that begin with the letter M-Z. " the performance was so spirit filled -in the positive, religious meaning of that term- that while listening to it the person was touched by the Holy Spirit. People who feel the Holy Spirit behave in ways that are outside of their control. For example, they may weep, shout (get happy i.e. go in, do the Holy dance), testify about God's grace, speak in tongues etc.) Similarly, "almost took me to church" means that the performance is reminiscent of church services that were/are full of the Holy Spirit"-snip-
Another way of saying the same thing is "I almost went to church".
