Both began as solo performers. Dantzler was born in Philadelphia and got his start in the music business writing songs for Pebbles and Bell Biv DeVoe. Graydon, from Washington, D.C., had a solo deal at the age of 15. The two united and began writing songs, but then married and started a family, necessitating the steady income of work outside the music business. After a time as an appliance salesman, however, Dantzler went back to trying to make it on the local scene. He and Graydon began performing at the Black Lily club, where they caught the attention of Jill Scott, who took them to her label, Hidden Beach Recordings. They were signed and spent the next two years working on their debut album, Surrender to Love, which was released in February 2003. Kindred released two additional albums on the label: 2005's In This Life Together and 2008's The Arrival. For their fourth album, Kindred moved to Shanachie, where they released 2011's Love Has No Recession. While none of their singles scratched the Top 40 of Billboard's R&B chart, the duo developed a devoted following.

Kindred The Family Soul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iâ€™m watching you from afar babe
Your heavens brightest star babe
Wanting you is exciting
If only in my head & if I was hungry
Iâ€™d take you instead
You know we speak with no talk baby
Your smell, your walk baby
So afraid to touch you

But I long for it so
Iâ€™m sure that I love you but you
Donâ€™t even know

Bridge
Itâ€™s like beauty & music
The angels singing a song
Can you hear them?
Itâ€™s so lovely
Itâ€™s magic
I know you can feel it say yes

Chorus
Loving you is a dance
The rhythm of life
And if thereâ€™s a chance
I want you till I die

So afraid to touch you
But I long for it so

I'm keeping a keen eye on you from a distance, darling

Your heavens brightest star babe
You shine brighter than the stars, babe

I would satisfy my hunger by being with you, instead of food

You know we speak with no talk baby
Our unspoken communication is strong, baby
