Not all advice is good advice—especially when it comes to love, life, and chasing your dreams. In this heartfelt episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, host Prentiss "PL Sweets" Thompson takes a deep dive into Deniece Williams' soulful ballad "Silly" and the lessons it teaches about trusting the right voices.
Released in 1981, "Silly" is a masterclass in vulnerability. Williams’ delicate yet powerful vocals tell the story of someone who’s fallen for the wrong person, ignoring the red flags and the wisdom of experience. But beyond the heartbreak, this song carries a deeper message about discernment—who do you listen to when making life’s big decisions?
PL explores how this theme applies not just in relationships, but in business, creative careers, and personal growth. The wrong advice can lead you down the wrong path, while wisdom from the right sources can save you from wasting time, energy, and emotion.
Who’s in your ear? Are you taking advice from people who truly have your best interests at heart? Or are you letting the wrong voices guide your steps? Before you follow, think twice. Let’s break it all down—through the lens of a classic groove that still speaks volumes today. 🎶✨
