Yearning For Your Love

One of the greatest soul and R&B groups of all time, The Gap Band has released some amazing music in their day. From such classics as You Dropped A Bomb On Me, Early In The Morning, and Outstanding, The Gap Band has solidified themselves as icons in the genre but it's this song that stirs something within me. Yearning For Your Love is a smooth, groovy cut that I can put on repeat and leave it playing for the whole day and never grow tired of it.

Yearning is off of their 1980 album The Gap Band III which also featured another classic Burn Rubber On Me. Yearning starts off so easy and light until the bass line kicks with the beat. Then Charlie Wilson comes in  with The time has come for us to stop messing around/Cause don't you know I like having you around and you know this isn't going to be your ordinary love song. Especially later on when he drops the marriage proposal.

Yearning For Your Love is one of those songs where the music doesn't match the seriousness of the lyrics which adds to its greatness in my opinion. The last lyrics are You can't keep running in and out of my life and those words have either applied to us directly or to someone we know, don't they? Don't lie, it'll make your nose grow. Enjoy!
