Common. "The Light." Like Water For Chocolate, Geffen Records, 2000.
Witnessing two people in love is pure magic to me, especially when the couple includes your oldest friends. This long weekend, I had the pleasure of watching one of the most graceful, elegant, compassionate ladies I know make a promise to her best friend, and they kicked things off on the dance floor with this track. As cool and classy as first dances can go.
Listen to the original below featuring that amazing Bobby Caldwell "Open Your Eyes" sample, or check out the remixed instrumental version chopped up by the late great J Dilla.
