Lyrics
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
Isaac Hayes’ 20th album, released in 95 too, was Raw & Refined and is mostly instrumental.
Sting’s Fragile
« Branded » contains a cover of Summer in the City too.
Timeless is the magnificent new album by the legendary Sergio Mendes. Produced by and featuring Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, this album is a wholly original synthesis of music from the man who–40 years ago–brought Brazil 66 and « Mas Que Nada » to the world. Timeless beautifully blends the urban culture of Brazil, samba and bossa nova with the urban culture of America, hip hop and rap, the results of which are truly spectacular. Putting together the project, Will and Sergio, of course, brought in the Black Eyed Peas. They also recruited some of the biggest urban-pop artists of the last several decades, each a Sergio fan, to contribute to various tracks. Featured artists include Erykah Badu, Justin Timberlake, India.Arie, Q-Tip, John Legend, Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder, and members of the Roots and Jurassic 5.
