Welcome to Music Lifts , a column that seeks to highlight songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs that exude fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 4^th edition of Music Lifts (2023), we highlight “sun and moon” as performed by anees.

“Baby, baby, you’re my sun and my moon / Girl, you’re everything in between.” For versatile rapper/singer/songwriter anees (Anees Mokhiber), on “sun and moon”,  ‘She’ is the sugar honey iced tea.  He sings about her as if she is the very best thing in his life, which is awesome.  Essentially, for Mokhiber, on this two-and-a-half minute gem, he has found THE ONE and nobody else will do.  “A lot of pretty faces could waste my time / But you’re my dream girl,” he continues in the feel-good chorus, adding, “You make the flowers bloom / Girl, you make the stars collide / And I don’t know what I did to get lucky like this / But it sure feels fine.” Indeed, indeed!

Anees’ adoration for the girl of his dreams continues well into the verses. He acknowledges what she does for him, and his role in the relationship.  Anees gives her protection, loyalty, and trust.  Likewise, he knows she will never let him down.  The monogamy is lit, particularly lines like, “I wake up grateful to breathe in / The air you flat through.” In an age where music has grown much more explicit, focused on being edgy as opposed to innocent, anees gives listeners something truly special – a monogamous anthem that is nothing short of a surefire, sunny vibe.
