I’ve known Anu Omideyi for 30 (!) years now and not heard her sing this song before so I looked into it and found this great interview with the man himself - Stevie Wonder. “I wrote the song’s basic idea in late 1974 in my hotel room in New York, when Yolanda [Simmons] was pregnant with our daughter Aisha. I remember it was so cold outside that day. The concept I had in mind was that for love to be effective, it has to be fed. Love by itself is hollow. I recorded the song’s demo in my hotel room on a Fender Rhodes using a portable Nakamichi cassette recorder. I used to take that recorder with me everywhere, like a notebook. To this day, I never sit down and formally write songs. They emerge from the process of listening to what I’m doing on the keyboard. I just play and songs sort of happen. Like a painter, I get my inspiration from experiences that can be painful or beautiful. I always start from a feeling of profound gratitude—you know, “Only by the grace of God am I here”—and write from there. I think most songwriters are inspired by an inner voice and spirit. God gave me this gift, and this particular song was a message I was supposed to deliver.” Thank you for sharing it and your beautiful voice Anu 🙏♥️ …see more
