I wish my mum can wake up from the grave to listen to one of her favourite musicians

[ritaadams]

9th minute song my Favorite. I keep replaying.

[shokpeks]

Dododo Iye - Greeting call to his departed mother.
Ada khieva iye - the road has bifocated i.e. divided into two (Meaning I've become confused)
Ima e onigha la iye I don't know which one to follow.
Odelimwin re gbe oko - the road to the land of the dead is too far.

He played this song at the demise of his mother. Its actually a song of mourning. A man attempting to take a journey to the land of the dead to look for his mother.

[jaydiomoyeni]

I've been hearing this since I was a baby boy and hearing it now reminds me of my mum

[ianramirez]
