Corner Spotlight : PM Dawn- Sometimes I Miss You

This past weekend,we lost one of music's, not just Hip Hop's, most intuitive and expressive souls in the form of Prince B: one half of the Duo Pm Dawn. Noticed, I did not shy away from using the term Hip Hop when referencing him! Unfortunately, PM Dawn, like other acts during the early and mid 90s, were not viewed as being credible artist in the realm of this genre  due to their musical offerings being considered emotional and "soft" especially with the rise of "gangsta" rap.This resulted in them being ostracized and mocked as it related to their place in the annals of hip hop lore. Fast forward and the very foundation that such songs as Die Without You and Paper Doll laid, is now the frame work of modern rap Of course, with more explicit and crass results. Prince B was truly a poet at heart weaving abstract lines into grander narratives that truly resonated with ones in touch with the intangible. He was a true pioneer in the realm of Alternative Hip Hop, Neo Soul, and Spoken Word Poetry. In honor of his passing, we will spotlight an overlooked gem entitled, Sometimes I Miss You, which samples Al B Sure's quiet storm staple  Nite and Day.RIP Prince Be. Perhaps now, your legacy can truly set adrift on memory's bliss.

Lyrics:

(Opening Chorus)

I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you

I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

(Verse 1)
There are only whispers and shadows for me
The way things are with the way things are
And with this, I blow a kiss to disaster
Because I wish to perfect my heart

I gotta check my mind, am I in tune with you?
Do we connect within the realm of the gods?
Electric word "life" that means forever
And that's a mighty long time when you've kissed divine

So divine, as with you
The Christ within will come in the clouds
Trusting "divinity is always with you"
Trusting "this is the here and now"

Mercy's right, I gotta check my love
And I'm trying to do as such
I don't let the demons get me down
It's just, sometimes I miss you so much

(Chorus)

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you

I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

(Verse 2)
I can envision all things to life
I can understand realistic ways
But I invent the next phase in forever
I like you rewrite the next page

It's so pristine, it's so untouched
I'm an immaculate sign of devotion
Still unseen, I'm thinking so what
Bless me cursed with colorful emotions

God says, "I guess you don't know I'm you
Because you'd know the entire 360"
The Christ that's me, the Christ that's you
Regardless constantly within me

I'm so not responsible for this
I'm just a man in love with so much
I know, love, you'll always be with me
It's just, sometimes I miss you so much

(Chorus) 

Sometimes I miss you

Sometimes I miss you

Sometimes I miss you

I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you

I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you

I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you

I can tell you how I feel
I can tell you how I feel
I can tell you how I fee
