Shirley Murdock - As We Lay (1986)

Shirley Murdock - As We Lay
From the album Shirley Murdock!, released in 1986. Notice that I slowed down the tempo and tuned the pitch down also. I decided to show you what it is should have sounded like. Enjoy it.

    This song takes me back to my father cheating on my mother. That still hurts me to this day. I'm a 50yr old man. That ruined our family!! It also taught me to stick to one women. I saw how much it hurt my mother. I'm married faithfully to the same women 27yrs and counting.

    This song was as real as it gets. She didn't glorify or demonize. She just sung the truth about how crazy life can be. I was a teen when this song came out and it educated me on what NOT TO DO. The lesson I took from the song was that "everything that feels good to you, ain't always good for you."

    I remember trying to write the words to this song, I stopped, rewind, and play it again then write, I did this over and over and over and over, my mother unplugged it and I asked her why did she just do that because she messed me up... She had tears in her eyes, I said what's wrong momma, she couldn't formulate her thoughts, I froze and then she said, baby your brother was just killed, SADDEST FAY OF MY LIFE, I wanted to record, sing, cry, scream, I was paralyzed by fear. I was 24 and my brother was 22, oh how I miss him coming home in the middle of the night to tell me to cook chicken and fries, and play WAR, the card game. Oh how I still hurt. His girlfriend was pregnant, and he never met her, but she was born on my birthday...

    This song was simply one of those universal events that happen once in a lifetime. I realize that many people discuss the meaning of the song. Yes, that is vital. However, the way in which this musical composition coalesced with the exceptional voice of Ms. Murdoch to top it off, is truly an act of genius.

    The music composition and flow of this song is a masterpiece. The way the music knew to be quiet and let her talk it out. literally a steady bass a quiet keyboard and a shaker, the whole song. Then it matches her energy when she starts to really feel remorse. Brilliant. Seems almost too intimate for us to hear as her inner monolog.

    This song came to life in my life! When this song came out I was sleeping with a married man and gave birth to his child! He never went back to the wife but I never became the wife because he never divorced her. Even today we are the best of friends and together we raised a very intelligent, sweet, college graduate, but it's nothing like being raised with a mother and father together who loves each other! I never wanted to hurt his wife but I fell in love with him(they both were cheating on each other). Today, I am a Woman of God ( happily married 17 years and counting) and I dedicate my life to schooling young girls on the love of God and not the FLESH! Thank God we Serve a LOVING GOD WHO FORGIVES! The wife and I are friends today and Sisters in Christ! God turned it around for the both of us! My daughter and her daughters interact like sisters and they call me Momma Lady T! What a Mighty God we serve! I BLESS GOD FOR FORGIVING ME and for the wife FORGIVING ME as well, AS WE LAY!

    This song doesn't matter until it does matter. And when it does, it can sting the soul!

    Shirley Murdock is my all-time favorite vocalist. As we lay contains elements of soul, jazz, gospel, country, r&b, Broadway, and opera. No one in the world can perform this song in a manner comparable to or better than Shirley. I wish she was my musical mentor. So undervalued!

    I love this song! Growing up in the inner city of Los Angels, Calif in the 80's was tough! With the explosion of crack on the streets and gang violence killing what seemed like the innocent over money and turf. And when it feels like U just cant take the heat of it all no more, a song like this comes out and calms the hood for a minute; at least a pause to acknowledge the Love felt and brought through Shirley Murdock's, rendition of "As We Lay." Thank U so much, I love this song and this was a "Hood" favorite!

    When I first heard this song it was right on time. That was in the 80's. We in the 20's. It still has great impact.
