Ain’t That the Way – Rees Shad
“Οι μαγικές νότες της μελωδίας σε παρασύρουν σε μια γαλήνια και μεθυστική ατμόσφαιρα. Τα υπέροχα φωνητικά με επιδέξιο τρόπο και με οικειότητα έρχονται κοντά σου για να σου πουν την αλήθεια. Οι εναλλαγές τους εμπλουτίζουν το κομμάτι και το κάνουν μοναδικό. Ο ρυθμός βρίσκεται σε μια σταθερή τροχιά που μας ηρεμεί.”

Lyrics of Rees Shad – Ain’t That the Way
Would it make things worse if you spoke your mind?
Could you make things better with a single line?
Does a tree really fall if it makes no sound?
Ain’t that the way that the world goes ‘round?
Ain’t that the way that the world goes ‘round?
There’s a planet spinning, perhaps you can’t stop that
But you can call out the bullies, the cheats and the rats
Don’t tell it like you see it. Then you’re duty bound
To take the ride as the World goes down
Cause that’s the way that the World goes ‘round
If we watch in silence
If we just turn our backs
Do we have the right to question where we end up at?
Would it make things worse if you spoke your mind?
Could you make things better with a single line?
Does a tree really fall if it makes no sound?
Ain’t that the way that the world goes ‘round?
Ain’t that the way that the world goes ‘round?
They’ll turn the screws long as you sit back
Unless you step up to the line and do a righteous act
Speak truth to power bring the liars down
And you can change up the way that this world goes ‘round
Change up the way Change up the way
