Transience
This weekend I heard this tune on the radio. “Have You Seen Her” by the Chi-Lites moved me. Though I’ve not personally experienced the cause of loneliness depicted in the lyric story line, — I can relate. The point is an old one, succinctly stated by Heraclitus, “Everything changes, and nothing remains.” What time offers, time also takes away.
You can do many things with this bit of insight. I like what the songwriters, and what the Chi-Lites do with this wisdom as the song is magnificently delivered.
Enjoy!
“Have You Seen Her” is a song recorded by the soul vocal group, The Chi-Lites, and released on Brunswick Records in 1971. Composed by the lead singer Eugene Record and Barbara Acklin, the song was included on the group’s 1971 album (For God’s Sake) Give More Power to the People. –Wikipedia
