“Pretty Wings” is the first single from Maxwell’s loooong awaited upcoming album Black Summer’s Night and it’s classic Maxwell – a sensual rhythm that seems to let his throaty vocals fold right in. The song’s concept is similar to Donell Jones’ “Where I Wanna Be” – I’m not the man for you. some other will love you better.

time will bring the real end of our trial
one day they’ll be no remnants
no trace, no residual feelings within ya
one day you won’t remember me
your face will be the reason i smile
but i will not see what i cannot have forever
i’ll always love ya
i hope you feel the same
oh you played me dirty, your game was so bad
you toyed with my affliction, had to fill out my prescription
found the remedy
i had to set you free
away from me
to see clearly the way that love can be
when you are not with me
i had to leave, i have to live
i had to lead, i had to live
if i cant have you let love set you free
to fly your pretty wings around
pretty wings your pretty wings
your pretty wings around
wait…that’s not a pic of Barack Obama?? Oh snap!
haha
