Welcome to THIS edition of GOOD QUESTION, brought to you exclusively by THISent.com! I’m your host, “Word Heavyweight Champion” Mr. Joe Walker.
Throughout my illustrious career as an entertainment writer and journalist, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to speak with many notable and famous persons. One of those is world renowned soul singer, songwriter and producer Sy Smith!
During our conversation I asked Sy THIS good question: When did a personal life experience in your music impact a fan in an unexpected way?
She answered, “There’s always periods in everybody’s lives when they get down about life. I’m usually a pretty bright and optimistic person, but every now and then I can get dark. During one of these periods I wrote a song called ‘Greatest Weapon of All Time’. It was really a song to get myself out of that darkness and pick myself up. I didn’t know at the time those words would mean so much to people.
There was this girl in Brazil who had the lyrics from the hook tattooed on herself! She took a picture of it and sent it [to me]! The lyrics: Don’t ever underestimate the power of your mind because it might be the greatest weapon of all time; don’t ever underestimate the power of your heart and soul because they might write the greatest love story that’s ever been told.
English was not even her first language, but that was still so poignant to her!” |THIS.
