Good night everyone!
It's been a long time since I last posted in the ReggaeSteem Community, so long that the Community was even rebranded as ReggaeJahm.
I'd like to share one of my favourite songs from Aurea, a Portuguese artist who usually sings Jazz & Soul.
Her full name is Áurea Isabel Ramos de Sousa but she is only known as Aurea, her artistic name. She is from Santiago do Cacém, Setúbal and she is very well known in Portugal. Maybe not so much outside of our country, even though she sings in English.
She has won 2 MTV Europe Music Awards, in 2011 and in 2012, both times for Best Portuguese Act and she is also a judge and mentor in the show The Voice Portugal.
I believe this is the only time that she ever ventured into Reggae and I loved it. I wonder why she didn't follow up with more tracks like this? 🤔
The name of the song is Okay, Alright and even though it's not a traditional style of Reggae, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Sorry about the low quality of the video, which is 12 years old. Believe it or not... Aurea was only 20 years old when this was recorded! 😮
Here are the lyrics:
It's time to take a deep breath
Close your eyes
And let yourself go, slow
There's a long and open road
Laying on my way now
I don't need to stop and think about it
'Cause my heart will guide me through
You don't need to promise me the moon
Just sit with me and watch the moonlight
Then every little star will sing this song
And if you feel good, come on
Just sing along, yeah
I'm okay, I'm alright
I got good feelings on my mind
I'm okay, I'm alright
With you
I'm okay, I'm alright
I got good feelings on my mind
I'm okay, I'm alright
With you
Love is like a tiny sparrow
You can't hold it on a cage, no, no you can't
It flies free through the morning breeze
Only guided by a wild warm heart
'Cause you don't need to promise me the sky
Just sit with me and watch the sunrise
Set yourself free and breathe deep inside
And while you do that, come on
Just sing along, come on now
I'm okay, I'm alright
I got good feelings on my mind
I'm okay, I'm alright
With you
I'm okay, I'm alright
I got good feelings on my mind
I'm okay, I'm alright
With you
I'm okay yeah
I'm alright
I'm okay, I'm alright
I got good feelings on my mind
I'm okay, I'm alright
With you
I'm okay, I'm alright
I got good feelings on my mind
I'm okay, I'm alright
With you
I'm okay, I'm alright
I'm okay, I'm alright
I'm okay
