    His solo career has been very underrated Only true fans will truly understand his music. This Brother has range.

    Never been so hype for an album. Solange is cool..sweet. So are other artists he produces for. But there is NOTHING like the genius of a real Raphael Saadiq album!!!! Flew here from ig the second i heard it!💥💥💥 The guitar is crazy fire. So hope he brings tour to Philly. He's the whole album buy kinda artists. We can eat for years off his art.

    I believe he is speaking about his gift of music or something that is heavy and burdensome that the passion won't die and willing forever keep the flame.

    While many think this song is about drug addiction, I understand that interpretation is somewhat subjective. For me it reminds me of the calling on our lives to fulfill our destiny at all costs, sometimes causing us to put those we love or who love us on the back burner…kinda like chasing after a dream at all costs. Either way it’s a beautiful song …kudos to Mr. Saadiq for another master jam

    Something keeps calling me
    I feel the burdens on me
    Something keeps calling me
    This is so heavy for me
    You might say I can never love again
    Well you might be right, at least tonight
    My friends say I can never pull it together
    Well they might be right, at least tonight
    My kids say I'll never come home again
    And I know they're right, at least tonight
    If I fail, my whole life goes to hell
    And it don't seem right, I need help tonight
    Something keeps calling me
    I feel the burdens on me
    Something keeps calling me
    This is so heavy for me
    My wife says I'll never have money again
    And she might be right, I lost tonight
    My heart says I can get it all again
    And I hope I'm right, but not tonight
    The priest said, "You're gonna lose family"
    And he might be right, at least tonight
    My mind says, "You should give it up today"
    Sounds awesome, right? But not tonight
    Something keeps calling me
    I feel the burdens on me
    Something keeps calling me
    This is so heavy for me
    Something keeps calling me
    I feel the burdens on me
    Something keeps calling me
    This is so heavy for me
    This is forever
    (This is so heavy on me)
    I'm never, ever turning back
    (This is so heavy on me)
    I'm never
    (This is so heavy on me)
    So heavy on me
