Bill Withers appreciation thread

[pop]

Okay when you say things like slept-on and underrated who are you talking about because everybody I know love bill withers.

When people talk about great singers his name dosen't get mentioned all that much he is someone that people seem to forget about. He's said it himself that he is underrated so this ain't something I just came up with.

^^Everyone you know but I hardly hear anyone really talk about him outside of a few songs. Hell, I like alot more songs by him than I thought. I just didn't know he sang them.

Use Me is a great song that I just stumbled across while downloading music. Props to Bill Withers!

Check out "Can we Pretend" by Bill Withers on the "Justments" album, his ex wife Denise Nicholas wrote the song, you the the pretty chick from the 70's with the grey eyes, he was whupping her ass though, but check out the song

Can We Pretend

Can we pretend

That from now on

There is no yesterday

Paint a portrait of tomorrow

With no colors from today

Chorus:

There’s a light that shine in your face sometimes

That takes my feeling wraps them around your need

But there’s shadow hiding in your heart sometimes

That makes my feelings turn back in on me

Can we pretend

The pain is gone

And go our merry way

Paint a portrait of tomorrow

With the colors bright and gay

Repeat Chorus

Written by D. Nicholas
