I am @wizj.
For this week 162, I will play a song by BONGOS IKWUE titled "STILL SEARCHING FOR TRUE LOVE.
BONGOS IKWUE is a NIGERIAN MUSICIAN who has a lots of songs to his name. The said song was done in 1978. A reggea funk/soul afrobeat with a very enticing rhythm.
The lyrics of the song captures a SEARCH for TRUE LOVE. By that, it means that to have a genuine love isn't that easy to come by. To have a long lasting and enduring love isn't a child's playing on his/her mothers'.
The singer stuck on, persisting and insisting that he won't give up but will still keep on searching till maybe one day he'll find.
Of course, he quoted the bible in Matt7:7 that when you search, you'll find. That gives so much hope on the threshold of searching; on the line keeping on the search without a stop until it is found.
Often times, we say in words LOVE. We joke so much about it so much so that, no one gets to know when there's seriousness in the expression.
However, love conquers everything and in love everyone lives happily and reproduce in themselves nothing but the fruit of love shared and received.
The song though done decades ago yet still has a freshly baked flavors that never spoilt nor soiled. What is that to us then?
It is simple, to love and try to give more assuring genuine love to others expressively without any reservation whatsoever.
Let us love and be-loved as well.
LYRICS:
Men I've been searching for... for true love,
Gotta keep right on searching till I find.
Nothing good comes easy, this I know.
Gotta keep right on searching till I find.
'Said I've been searching for... for true love,
Gotta keep right on searching till I find.
Nothing good comes easy, this I know.
Gotta keep right on searching till I find.
Men I've been trying hard,
Mighty hard to find true love.
But as yet, ain' had much luck.
But I'll keep trying till I find.
You know the Bible said:
If you seek, you will find.
Ain't no doubt, the Bible must be right.
Well I'll keep right on with my search.
I AM WISDOMJAMES
