Presence
Embracing the Essence: Brittany Howard's 'Presence' Unveils a World of Love and Vitality
Lyrics
Come what made, I have you today
Come what may, I have you today
And I don't want no more
Expressing contentment, no desire for more
I don't want tomorrow
Rejecting the notion of wanting tomorrow
Its promises, oh, its ache
Referring to the pain and unfulfilled promises of the future
'Cause what's this world without you in it?
Questioning the significance of the world without a loved one
You make me feel just like I'm a little kid
Feeling a childlike joy in the presence of the loved one
What's this world got without your spark?
Contemplating the value of the world without the loved one's influence
You make me feel so black and alive
Experiencing a vibrant and intense emotional state in the loved one's presence
La la-la, la la
Repeating "La la-la" as a musical expression of emotion
La la-la, ah (ah)
Continuation of the musical refrain
La, la la
Repeating "La, la la" for emotional emphasis
By doin' nothing, I noticed something
Acknowledging a revelation or realization through inaction
I don't want no more
Expressing a lack of desire for more in life
And I've always wanted more
Contrasting with the previous line, expressing a perpetual desire for more
Of just about everything
Desiring abundance in various aspects of life
But what's this world without you in it?
Questioning the significance of the world without the loved one
You make me feel just like we're some little kids
Reiterating the childlike joy experienced with the loved one
What's this life like without your spark?
Contemplating the quality of life without the loved one's influence
You make me feel so black and alive
Experiencing a vibrant and intense emotional state in the presence of the loved one
