WVAU’s #4 Song of 2016: "Cranes in the Sky" by Solange Knowles
December 28, 2016
I constantly make the mistake of agreeing to write about things I am too emotionally invested in. “Cranes in the Sky” is one of them. As I sit here writing about what this song means to me and this hell of a year we’ve all had, I decided to delete everything I’ve already said. I don’t need to prove this song’s worth. Who can turn pain and turmoil into a catchy song with beautiful visuals? SOLANGE KNOWLES. THAT’S WHO. All I can say is listen to this song with your eyes closed and you’ll see why it’s one of the best of 2016.
