(Song: Don't Give Up)

Welcome to the Princess R&B podcast. Today's topic is Heart's Translation-Vessel.

Let’s start with …

The "Heart's Translation" Approach:
When I listen to Aaliyah’s music now, like her song ‘Try Again’, it’s like my mind translates the melody into the exact encouragement I need. I’ll hear a specific riff or a lyric, and it registers in my conscience as: 'Don’t give up now. I’m with you.' At that moment in my life, I sometimes feel like I’m struggling to get where I need to be in life. Sometimes I feel like I'm out here on a lonely frequency, just trying to find my way... and that's when the message breaks through.

The "Unspoken Lyric" Approach:
There’s a spirit in Aaliyah’s music that goes beyond the recorded words. For me, the 'hidden message' in her voice always seems to be a reminder to stay strong and keep going.

The "Inspiration" Approach:
I feel like Aaliyah’s legacy carries a specific frequency of resilience. Every time I hit play, my spirit picks up on that frequency, and it sounds like a personal message telling me not to quit.

I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Princess R&B podcast Aaliyah.
