STILL ON TALKING MUSIC
This is a piece that guarantee entertainment, marketing, a song that's get keke riders nodding their head on their stirring sit, a song that get everyone dancing in their sitting room, a song that draws everyone's attention to their radio set. The song that does all this is tittle 'Amem' and it's coming from Akwa Ibom recording artist called 'unik Brodaz'
Listen and be entertain
'AMEM' simply means is it easy?.
At first hearing, one may be tempted to regard this piece as a comedy song, but does it cut across that???.
For me I think no. This because it is one song that has played on the sentiment of time and that's draws the question: who will?. Because at the time everybody is dependent on everybody.Despite the fact that you have people but still find it difficult to see someone who will listen and response to you, and everyone is seem to identify with the theme of the song which is what has being able to call everyone into asking that question and that question is what has linkered around. This is the sentiment of time. Things are hard, and for you to help another person is hard as well since everyone is seeking help from that one person. You know we got cut off with this difficulties over time. So this song is addressing the mentality, sentiment and the problems of the time.
The song is actually questioning,, is it easy to do something for another person?..
He also asked,, is it easy to buy someone a drink?.
Looking at uyo or Akwa Ibom entirely, one unique thing across it is drinking parlour in almost all the local governments of the state. So so rampant. That is to say that the people of this town like drinking, here is where the question is gotten from.
So this piece is addressing that angle as well weather it is easy to buy drink for someone.
That is to say that, the social identity of Akwa Ibom is fully represented here, what is happening in the state socially, culturally and Infact it's economy content.
POPULARITY
Talking about the litmus test of the song, I think you don't have to take it to kaduna or outside the country for people to popularize it. Already we have more than 4million people in Akwa Ibom and some countries are not up to that, so if Akwa Ibom was a country it would have being a national song.
INTERPRETATION
For those who don't understand the lyrics, the song is asking
*If it's easy for one to do something helpful for his fellow man?
Or if it's easy for one to achieve outstanding success.
If we think it's easy to stay alive till date or it's easy to buy drink for a friend?
My God is the SOURCE.
Here's the Chorus in Ibibio
Amem?
Owo ndi nam mkpo nnor owo, amem!
Or mme di nam mkpo nwor nda, amem!
mme owo ndi du Uwem nsim Mfin, amem!
Or mme adi dep ukod nnor owo
My God is the source.
DEPRAVITY
In terms of depravity of the song, I think it will linker for a long time because we will always av our king and queen that will stand the test of it ,and it will keep reoccurring : Amen?
Infact anytime someone shows you love, you will recall amen??.
