My mom once asked me about what I look for in a guy and I told her: "someone who loves like Bill Withers sings".
Bill Withers' music will always be tied to some of the purest parts of me. I grew up listening to his records and his songs, to me, are the bud of the bud. Few people understand complex simplicity, let alone how to artistically channel it. He does, I think.
Everything that I have heard or read from him, makes me respect him as a musician and artist- he was his own, did it his way and when he walked away from the industry, he did it at peak on his own accord. It makes my heart flutter, just thinking about his music, without any doubt that the boy next door will run away with it.
I've been watching a lot movies and documentaries lately. I don't think anything has touched me in quite some time as much as the doc "Still Bill" did. I thought I would share it with you.
