My Conversation
Slim Smith & The Uniques Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it gives me sweet inspiration (inspiration)
And to tell you I never felt this way before
I know there is someway today
Love your brothers, my friends
Love your sisters, love your brothers, ooh, yeah, love your sisters
And to tell you I must admit you've got me thinking (You've got me thinking)
But I'll always want to be in that position where I
Where I can see more clearly
Hmm, where I can see more clearly
Now I must admit that you've got me thinking (You've got me thinking)
There were times I thought that I was sinking (I was sinking)
But I'll always want to be in that position where I
Where I can see more clearly, yeah
Love your brothers, my friends
Love your sisters, love your brothers and your sisters, ooh yeah
The lyrics of Slim Smith & The Uniques' song, My Conversation, are centered around the idea of the importance of a good conversation. It is a sentiment expressed in the first two lines, "All I need from you is a good conversation, 'Cause it gives me sweet inspiration." The singer suggests that conversing with someone they care for brings them inspiration and fills them with positive feelings. The song then shifts to a message of love and unity, as the chorus repeatedly implores listeners to "love your brothers, my friends, love your sisters." The message of love is reiterated in the second verse, where the singer admits that he was feeling low until he had a good conversation and was reminded of the importance of positive relationships. The song finishes on the same message of love and unity that it started with.

Released in 1968. No autotune, just pure niceness, clear vocals. Only people with good ear for music can truly appreciate this master piece. It baffles my mind how its over 50years old and sounds so good. Wow.
@billcarrig9434
Yeah. Ever think it's done on purpose?
Look at modern CGI versus 80's practical effects.
You're cattle.

This tune is pure 100% 🔥. His vocals is supremely sweet and captivating. Love that tune from time. That lovely repetitive piano note throughout the record is so catching and adds to the rhythm that make it such a nice record. A true classic of how music should be. 👏🏾👊🏾👍🏾
