Malick Koly, “Heaven for Now”
From: Heaven for Now, 2023
For this beautiful, emotionally-charged ballad, drummer/singer/songwriter Malick Koly enlisted renowned bassist Ron Carter and Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid. This is one of those songs you find yourself listening to over and over again…
-Charlie Blaum-
“You think the stains of today
Would numb the pains of yesterday
You think the rains of tomorrow
Would drain away your sorrows
You think the stains of today
Would numb the pains of yesterday
Are you living?
Are you living?
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
You think displays of this place
Would sum away your destiny
You think the act of letting go
Would freeway your morrow
You think the stains of today
Would numb the pains of yesterday
Are you livid?
Are you livid?
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
You think displays of this place
Would sum away your destiny
You think the valleys of Sundays
Would sway away to bouquets”
