| The Vivid Tapes |
1. Mind
Did you end a relationship only to find the other person is obssesed
with you? Or are you obssesed with someone you can't let go? This
song explores the vivid imagination of someone obsessed. |
2. Keep It Strong
Are you focused on your goals? Do you go the extra mile for your
vision? This song goes out to those hard working, goal minded
folks that don't take no for an answer. |
3. Sagacity (97)
It was the time perid of Rodney King and the L.A. riots. The 1st
Verse deals with being black at a time when the civil rites movement
had made apparent leaps and bounds in the United States. Although
great progress had made, the pressure of being black was evident.
The 2nd Verse is Arif's point of view being of different heritage
and not having a conventional American name. The chorus of the
song says that young, white America is blind to all of this. They
have no idea that this racism still exists. Have things changed?
What's your point of view? |
4. Simplify
Written about a close friend who needed to forgive and let go
of the past. Have you forgiven everyone including yourself? |
5. Cool
Men and women handle love and relationships differently from one
another. Are you able to keep a cool head at all times? |
