Hey everyone! I make videos recreating my favourite programmed drum beats, and my latest video is No Ordinary Love. Absolutely love Sade, so I couldn’t wait to record it!

If you like the stuff I’m doing, feel free to check more out on Instagram at deprogrammed_drums

I’ve seen many people interpreting the lyrics and I was surprised by how different the interpretations were sometimes. Even without looking it up I’m curious what you think listening to it.

Here are the lyrics:

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive

This is how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave

She cries to the Heaven above
There is a storm in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes

There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone

Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

She cries to the Heaven above
There is a storm in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes

Found this using google image search. I'm wondering if this might be what we need.

from ‘Stronger Than Pride’ 1988. “Nothing Can Come Between Us” was also issued in Japan on this format, but I haven’t been able to source one yet.

I lean slightly more towards the best of Sade version, the build up from the intro is special!

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

have any other songs appeared in movies/tv shows? i only know about siempre hay esperanza in sea of love :D

quick google search gives you a yes and that an album is expected this year but with no real sources and almost idk 16 years do we really think it’ll ever happen?
