The first member of the group exists in a spiritual form as The Creator of all. The other three members of the group take a physical form: Buhlebendalo Mda, Luphindo Ngxanga, and Ntsika Fana Ngxanga, who are occasionally also supported by two backing vocalists, Asanda and Tshwarelo.
The Soil claims they are simply channels of the songs that they believe come to them from a sacred place where they just serve as mediums that help carry the message through.
Impossible
The Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I see you everyday, wish for us to do the right thing.
Will it be the the right thing?
Please my love say something, this feeling's the right thing that can lead us to anything.
Cause I was hoping with all my time to sit down with you or maybe stand up and dance.
And we can say what we say today on our own babe, own babe, it's possible.
I want you to stay with me, come stay with me.
Stay right into my arms and you will see, you will see a place.
And I was feeling so happy I was feeling glad, the type of love that just makes me sad.
When I think about you today...
Impossible But now I know it's possible, possible, possible.
And so I wrote you this song, this song, this song to prove my love to me that we are meant to be. First of all I'd like to say I really really love you girl and second of all I'd like to say I'm really really sorry
Cause I was all in your face, I never thought that I was.
I was invading your space, so I'm sorry
But I have to tell you this, that you are the one that made me do this.
Tears just fall and my heart is very sore
So would you do me a favour just say yes to me I know it's hard but it's possible.
The Soil's song Impossible is a heartfelt and emotional ballad about the struggle to express one's feelings and the hope for a mutual understanding in a romantic relationship. The opening line, "Impossible endathi ngijola nawe" translates to "Impossible, I said I'm going with you" in English. This sets the tone for the song, as the singer expresses their deep desire to be with their partner, but also acknowledges the challenges they face.
The chorus emphasizes this hope for a positive outcome, with the repetition of the phrase "it's possible" serving as a mantra for the singer. They long for a chance to connect with their partner, to dance with them, to express their emotions openly and honestly, and to ultimately find a place of love and acceptance together.
However, there is also a sense of regret that permeates the song. The singer apologizes for their past behavior and the ways in which they may have hurt their partner. They acknowledge their mistakes and express a desire to make things right, to prove their love and commitment to the relationship.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and moving tribute to the complexities of love and the power of hope and forgiveness.
