MNEK | READY FOR YOUR LOVE (stripped version)
This stripped version of “Ready For Your Love“* is so, so beautiful. Oh.my.god. So beautiful. LISTEN HERE now. Yes, right now.
You have to listen to it in a quiet space to really feel it move within you. Maybe in your car during a drive home at night. Or through your earbuds while running.
MNEK is a UK singer of Nigerian-descent who is only 19-years-old. I can’t even. 19! Well, he’s a 19-year-old that can sing the sh*t out of this song (that he also co-wrote). I feel really inadequate right now. Sheesh. Seriously, this kid has to blow-up and be heard everywhere.
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
And that’s why I’m going to let you know that this gorgeous song can be downloaded for FREE on MNEK’s website HERE. Yes, free. You’re welcome.
Now this song is especially poignant if you’re one of those souls who just haven’t gotten it together to realize that your absolutely brilliant partner in front of you is the best thing that has ever happened to you (this includes yourself – you need to love yourself too).
Maybe you’re too weak or scared to give in and open your heart and fully crazy.stupid.love for fear of heartache.
Maybe your pride keeps getting in the way.
Maybe you think there might be the possibility of someone better out there. So foolish.
Whatever the reason that you have not leapt into the risky unknown of deep love (even with yourself), then holy man, STEP UP now. And beware that when you first listen to this song, you may quiver right down to the depths of your soul.
You will definitely have a visceral reaction because the lyrics and emotion will hit a nerve. Especially if you haven’t stepped up for someone, or if you have regretfully settled and not followed your heart, or if your heart is heavy with unbearable loneliness. Caution:
Stars burn bright
Everything is changed between you and I
I was so apprehensive but I don’t know why
Baby I’m ready for you to be by my side, by my side…
I’m ready for your love, I’m ready for your love, I’m ready for your love…
And if they ask me if I am ready? I am ready. If they ask me if I’m ready? I am ready. If they motherf**king ask me if I’m ready?
I’m ready for your love…
*The non-stripped version is basically the stripped version with dance beats mixed in by Gorgon City. Listen HERE.
