I am the captain of my soul…

Sometimes, in the midst of adversity, your will or spirit is broken. And, sometimes, you just need something to hold onto while finding your lost beautiful soul that was within you all along.

Repeat after me…
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul

"Send It On" has been my favorite D'Angelo track since I got my hands on the Voodoo CD back in the winter of 2000. Co-written with Angie Stone, and (IIRC) dedicated to their son. 🖤

(Much love to Kool and the Gang for gifting us with "Sea of Tranquility" back in the day.)
