Track: “Sun Goddess” – Ramsey Lewis (feat. Earth, Wind & Fire)
We ended last night with Marvin Gaye’s “Time to Get It Together.”
That was full-body truth—grit, regret, realization.
It was Marvin laying it bare so you could look in your own mirror with less fear.
And after a night like that, you don’t need another push.
You need a hand.
You need a warm breeze.
You need music that doesn’t demand, but understands.
Enter: “Sun Goddess.”
It doesn’t come to save you.
It comes to remind you.
Remind you what softness feels like.
What warmth feels like.
What permission feels like.
That’s Al McKay on guitar—and he sets the tone.
He’s not chasing spotlight. He’s creating space.
Each chord is a gesture of calm—a slow exhale, a reminder that groove doesn’t have to be loud to be undeniable.
McKay plays like someone who knows you’ve been through something.
He doesn’t pull you out of it—he walks beside you.
His tone? Sunlight in motion.
His rhythm? Confidence without pressure.
He gives you room to rise, without asking you to rush.
Then Don Myrick steps in on sax—and the whole track exhales with him.
That horn doesn’t cut through the mix. It levitates in it.
Myrick doesn’t just solo—he testifies.
He stretches sound into feeling.
Each note bending like it’s reaching for something just out of view, but still possible.
His tone is warm, rounded, aching in places—but never sad.
There’s reverence in how he plays, not for performance, but for presence.
He’s not there to impress you. He’s there to bless you.
And let’s not ignore the rhythm section—the heartbeat behind it all.
The bass doesn’t walk—it glides.
The keys shimmer like light on water.
The drums are barely there—and yet they hold everything steady.
It’s not a rhythm you dance to—it’s one you lean into.
It’s foundation. A floor for your soul to stand on.
So today, don’t rush.
Don’t fix.
Don’t explain.
Just open a window.
Let this groove do what it was made to do: remind you that you’re still in it.
Still rising.
Still worthy.
You don’t have to chase the light.
The light wants you back.
And remember—each day, we have a choice:
Whether or not to make it great.
Don’t let anyone steal your joy.
Where is the light trying to find you today?
Great vibe Mangus
