I feel good, hopeful, when I listen to this song!

Maybe I've missed something, but it seems ironic that Bill called it "outright stupid" to use the word "black" as a pejorative, introducing this song just now, when the artist performing it, Ahkinoah Habah Izarh, made the choice to perform the song with this particular title himself. The artist does not seem to find it problematic using that word as such.

I suspect Bill didn't want anyone to attack him for playing a song in which the word "black" is perjorative. If you investigate the etymology of black as a perjorative you'll find that it has it's origins in terms like "black magic", "black plague", etc., none of which have any racial association. However it is certainly true that the word has also been used perjoratively in connection to race.

Has a Seal vibe. Liking it.

Needs annexing.
Not bad, but a little "I've heard this before". Starting it with a 6 from Napoli on the Gulf. Hoping more listens will raise the score.
Yep. I like. Starting at 7.
