THROUGH THE OLIVE TREES: A NAKIYEMi PLAYLIST THROUGH CARDINAL NAKITANDA'S PERSPECTIVE
1. By your cologne, your hands, your smile, your intelligence. You woo me, you court me You tease me, you please me. You school me, give me some things to think about. Ignite me, you invite me. You co-write me, you love me, you like me. You incite me to chorus
- He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat) by Jill Scott
2. I was just thinking about you. Wondering if you wear the same cologne. Smelled good on you. Had the next boyfriend of mine try the same kind
But it stunk on him though.You know what they say everything ain't for everybody. But I tried anyway. You sure did smell good.
- Cross My Mind by Jill Scott
3. You say move a mountain and I'll throw on my boots. You say stop the river from runnin', I'll build a dam or two. You say change religions, now I spend Sundays with you. Somethin' 'bout those tears of yours. How does it feel to be adored? You and your alligator tears.
- Alliigator Tears by Beyoncé
4. Cause the man that you are is defined by the way that you act in the light. Break or seize me. If the flame gets blown out in the shine, I will know that you can not be mine. Live or leave me.
- Lights On by FKA Twigs
5. I needed sunshine in my days. Something to wash away the pain. I saw a very gentle side of him that took my heart and made it sing. I wish he'd run away and hide with me. Love hurts so much more than it seems. There was one thing I didn't show. I love him and he doesn't know
- Crush by Zhané
6. Your love is like a a chunk of gold. Hard to gain, and hard to hold. Like a rose that's soft to touch. Love has gone, and it hurts so much. Well and why must the same love that made me laugh make me cry?
- The Same Love That Made Me Laugh by Bill Withers
7. But the loneliness never left me I always took it with me. But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company. And there will be no grand choirs to sing No chorus will come in, no ballad will be written. It will be entirely forgotten and if tomorrow it's all over at least we had it for a moment. Oh darling things seem so unstable. But for a moment we were able to be still.
- No Choir by Florench + the Machine
8. This may come, this may come as some surprise but I miss you. I could see through all of your lies. But still I miss you
- Is It A Crime? by Sade
9. He's the beautifullest, fragilest still strong, dark and divine and the littleness of his movements hides himself. He invents a charm that makes him invisible. Hides in the hair. Can I hide there too? Hide in the hair of him. Seek solace. Sanctuary.
- Hidden Place by Björk
10. You know I cannot shake ya. You know I cannot break ya. You only fool me then you lose me. Then right back I take ya. You know we're bad together. You don't want this forever. Then I look stupid, call me foolish. But I'll do whatever
