More From Jill Scott

I always try to write a song, i never just want to write a record. originally i was not writing songs for myself. ....and i can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves. ... even if i don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. when you write a song, it gives it that potential. when you write a song, a song has longevity. ... so i wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how i approached it-only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with god. songwriting is my gift from god.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

How big are souls anyway?" asked coraline. the other mother sat down at the kitchen table and leaned against the back wall, saying nothing. she picked at her teeth with a long crimson-varnished fingernail, then she tapped the finger, gently, tap-tap-tap against the polished black surface of her black button eyes.
Mother Wall Eye
When i was a child, ladies and gentlemen, i was a dreamer. i read comic books, and i was the hero of the comic book. i saw movies, and i was the hero in the movie. so every dream i ever dreamed, has come true a hundred times... i learned very early in life that "without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song." so i keep singing a song. goodnight. thank you.
Inspirational Movie Dream
I always think of each night as a song. or each moment as a song. but now i'm seeing we don't live in a single song. we move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. there is no ending here. it's an infinite playlist.
Song Moving Night
'something more' is a song that i wrote not necessarily about country radio, more so about a lot of songs that were being pitched to me. i wrote that after song after song after song was just the same song, just a different melody, so i was just looking for something more to put on the record.
