When I did this video back in October of 2009, I had not planned, nor had I rehearsed any of what I was going to say. The words and expressions I used, the flow and the rhythm; they all came together as I spoke and recorded.I suppose it was born out of my own experiences really.
In hindsight when I watch this over and over again, I am reminded of why this seemed to speak to so many women. It spoke to me.
This person is our friend, she's our sister. She is our cousin and our neighbor. This woman could be our niece or our mother. I don't believe 'she' is the 'every woman' Chaka Khan was referring to.
It's personal....Yeah, I'm talkin to YOU! It's about relationships and cycles of emotion all weaved together and sealed with good intentions, oozing with confusion.
The toxic love relationship satisfies for a time,
The love affair with food satisfies for a time...
Even the nonreciprocating relationships with each other, satisfy for a time,
but ultimately, each one of us really desires and hopes in those things that will bring real and genuine fulfillment. Not temporary moments of affection.
