The S.O.S. Band’s - Sands of Time album offers nothing but the best in music. Sultry love songs and soulful pop ballads. The legendary production team by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced nearly half of this S.O.S. Band album. With a legendary production team such as Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, you know the album is going to have wonderful songs and great ballads.
On The Rise is about a love going stronger in a relationship. Gene Dozier produced On The Rise for The S.O.S. Band.
Verse 1 makes things no secret with the fact that love is growing stronger inside a relationship. All of Verse 1 is about moving up.
[Verse 1]
Everyday I can tell our love is growing stronger
My blood runs hot
When I think of what we've got
And it's because we care for each other
That the bad times have passed us by
We're on the rise
Can't you tell?
We're moving up to love
Can't you tell?
We're moving up
Everyday is to tell that love is growing stronger. That is because both people care for each other. The bad times have passed by. Can't you tell? They’re on the rise. They are moving up to love.
Verse 2 gives a detailed description of a love journey.
[Verse 2]
Since the day we began
On our love journey
We've seen love come
And we've seen love go
We've come a long way
Since the day they began on their love journey, they both have seen love go and come. Love came and went. Only to find they’re still on the rise. Can't you tell that they are moving up to love? They are going to keep on moving throughout life. Moving up to love. They’re never gonna give up.
They’re on their way to a love with no ending and to live a life of purpose and meaning. A love with no ending is very much similar to living a life of purpose and meaning.
Sands of Time was one of their better songs which produced by the legendary production team by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Honestly this is one of their most overlooked songs produced by them. Abdul Ra'oof and Mary Davis did a wonderful job singing on the chorus.
Hours pass. The weeks turn into months. Nothing can change time as time moves forward. We are bound by the sands of time. The song is about the symbol of love. Love can be everlasting.
The lyrics shown here are an example of how love can be everlasting. This will give you an idea.
Still I watch the hourglass
Wondering when I'll see you
Longing for the person I love
Mary Davis will cure your troubles with her vocals on the song Even When You Sleep as she soothes you with her caress. Even when you sleep you’ll know that Mary is there to hug and keep you warm. Shimmering thoughts of joy run through your head. The song is a relaxing R&B/soul tune. You can feel the soothing melody of this song.
The lyrics to the chorus display dreamy imagery. Read some of the lyrics below to grasp a better understanding.:
[Chorus: Mary Davis]
Even when you sleep
You’ll know that I am there
To hug and keep you warm
And soothe you while you’re dreaming
A twinkle in your mind
Shimmering thoughts of joy
Sweet dreams, my love
Until you’re awake again
Verse 2 explains a brief summary of the sadness of being lonely.
[Verse 2: Mary Davis]
Time is loneliness
When you're not around
But I continue turning the hourglass
Mary will do anything to please her man. She’ll do the best she can. This is explained in a non-discreet manner throughout the song.
By believing in yourself you can make almost anything you ever want come true. That is what is explained during the bridge.
[Bridge: Abdul Ra'oof + Mary Davis]
Thought time had run out
I almost lost hope
(No, don't)
It's hard to keep the faith
Oh, but if you believe
You can make almost anything
You ever want come true
The S.O.S. Band offers nothing but the best in music on the song Nothing But The Best. Nothing But The Best is a smooth love ballad with a pop flair. It's no secret that Nothing But The Best is a love song.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
