New music's cool, but have you ever heard old music? Welcome to old music Friday. Have you ever heard no in love by Curtis Mayfield? Shut it. Shut your good. Shut your gob. You can't just topple me off a shelf with the best line straight into a held organ key. Did you even notice that held organ key? Let me wheel it. Are you stupid? In the intro, you didn't even know the tension was being built in. Your tension was unknowingly being built upon. You looked up and suddenly tier was a side return and a double extension. Music is about tension and release. One organ note and then the release. This intro has at least four parts to it. Part two.
