Beyonce: I Was Here

Beyonce: I Was Here

If you're like me, then you might be living with some kind of delusion that Beyonce-level fame is possible even when you lack any significant musical talent. Does this sound like you? If so, then Beyonce herself has created a perfect musical match for your hallucination.

I Was Here (you may not have heard of it, since so many people are still hung up on whether or not Run the World (Girls) will be a big enough hit...), off of her new album 4, speaks to a life of meaning, significance, and connection with others, which certainly Beyonce has already achieved. But it also has a motivational quality to it--almost challenging you to do the same for yourself, even if you could never possibly be known and adored by as many people around the world.



Side note: I have been a fan of "Radio Beyonce" for many years, but have never been hooked by any album of hers in its entirety. 4 is the only exception to this, and has without a doubt upped my level of respect for her.
