90s R&B

 

Welcome to my Squidoo on 90s R&B Music. I am the web administrator of rnbhaven.com and hope to use a squidoo to help spread the word on this great period of music.


The squidoo will be updated weekly with a song of the week selection in which we pick the best song by a 90s R&B artist, feature the video and lyrics to it.

Song of the Week 

Kicking off our song of the week series is the wonderful "The Arms Of The One Who Loves You" by the girls of Xscape. The song is an empowering ballad, reminding a person that they will be there for them for all times.

We chose the song for the great way in which it builds itself up throughout. The song starts off soft and in the video even opens with an orchestra tuning up. However, as the song progresses, the vocals become more and more powerful until the girls are really belting at its conclusion. The strength makes you want to just stand up and shout alongside the group.

The video fits the song well, showing lovers that seem to have gone separate ways and yet never truly lost their feelings for one another. It's well made and helps justify the group's placement as the first song of the week.

[Verse 1]
(LaTocha)
I know you're going,
I can't make you stay.
I can only let you know I'll love you any way.
And if the road you take leads to heartbreak,
Somewhere down the line.
If someone ever hurts you,
Or treats your heart unkind...

[Chorus]
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you.
You just run to these arms,
And these two arms will keep you warm.
When rain has found your heart,
Never fear, I'm never far.
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you.

[Verse 2]
(LaTocha)
I want you happy,
I want the best for you.
And if you have to leave to find your dream,
I hope that dream comes true.
But if the world you find brings you hard times,
If someone makes you cry,
I'll be there to hold you,
I'll be standing by.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
(Tamika)
My love is strong enough, you know,
Strong enough to let you go.
But I'll always hold you,
Inside my heart.
And if you should ever change your mind,
You can come back any time,
And when you do...

[Chorus X 2]
