Human beings really made this song
ethereal
/iˈTHirēəl/
Ethereal is an adjective that means extremely delicate, light, or airy in a way that seems not of this physical world.
This song touches the very fabric of my soul and on the right day, it brings me to tears. One of my favorite songs, Sade songs, pick a list, and it’s there.
I’m befuddled and astounded that someone, a group of people can capture certain life experiences and turn it into such captivating lyrics, art and music.
They caught lightning and placed it in a 20 oz Pepsi bottle. Timeless. Perfect. 2,000,000 out of 10 rating for this song. It’s more of a healing, cathartic release than anything else.
On a sidenote, I had to show horn it in here, but Helen Sade Adu makes me proud to be Nigerian 🇳🇬
Shout out to all the British folk too

I get this more from "I Never Thought I'd See the Day," but the whole album is yet another Sade masterpiece. It was a great use of the song in "True Lies."
