Top 10 of 2017: #2 Benjamin Booker - Witness
11 Jun 2018#2 Benjamin Booker - Witness
On it’s face, it’s a good song. A little gospel, some R&B, a little nod to hip-hop. Without even diving into the lyrics, it’s catchy, with that little lilting piano riff repeating over and over through the intro.
Then you dive into the lyrics, and think about where we were in 2017, and where we are in 2018, and where we will continue to be for the foreseeable future, and the song takes on a whole lot more weight.
(Also, hand claps.)
