Aaliyah Dana Haughton - Born on this day, January 16, back in 1979, left a lasting impact on the music community and has yet to be forgotten, even since her death in 2001 on August 25th. Her music, always sweet, always full of love, conveyed a lot of messages to me about things that I may have once been closed minded about or never really knew. The song I have chosen to talk about is "@ your best". The lyrics from this song show that human nature is capable of more than selfish acts of indulgence and self pride. It shows that sometimes even when we can't personally get it together, by witnessing another human @ "their best", we can be positively influenced and their strength, for that moment at least, could be our strength.
Aaliyah was more than a singer to me, more like an idol. She represented what I aspired to be when I got older. Smart, sexy, and sweet. She was a beautiful person inside and out and she will be terribly missed. On this day, had that tragic accident never taken place, she would be 30 years old.
Thank God for life everyday. Not one second on this earth is promised to anyone.
One Love <3
