I'm surprised this didn't become an instant classic. Talib Kweli always dropping his one of a kind lyrics about getting up and going mixed with the ever so talented and gorgeous Norah Jones vocals. It's a shame this song didn't make much noise when it was released. I'd definitely consider it to be a classic, and there is just something about Miss Norah Jones that mesmerizes you when she sings. You just seem to get lost in her voice and try to gather your thoughts on what it is you just heard. Fascinating.

Take a listen. I'm not one to listen to hip-hop much or have of an experience with connecting to rhymes, beats and flows but I heard this and took one step closer to the whole hip-hop and underground scene. The Procussions definitely the type of hip-hop tunes I love to listen to with their instrumental backgrounds and trumpet loops. You can't just listen to this track once. Bob your head back and forth, because you know it feels right.
Listen to this, and cherish it. Embrace it and feel his vocals run through you. Yes, that is Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow making an appearance with Mark Ronson on Triple J. Boy George was the original vocalist on the recording of this song but rumor has it Boy George was forced to do this song with Mark Ronson when he wanted nothing to do with it, but hey! That's just a rumor. Nonetheless, Andrew Wyatt definitely personalizes this song with his vocals. Such a great song.

It's about keeping that authentic character of why you do what you're doing. "Music is just about looking to be a part of people's lives, I think that's what any musician wants." -Scott Olds.
