Maxwell - Pretty Wings

Artist: Maxwell Track: Pretty Wings Album: BLACKsummers'night Year: 2009
I'm not a huge R&B fan but this song really grew on me. It was recommended to me, so I kept listening and sure enough, it's been playing in my head constantly! The song is a soulful trip through the experience of loving someone but knowing you have to let them "free to fly [their] pretty wings". 
Maxwell's falsetto is beautiful in the chorus. The chimes in the beginning are an interesting addition, but my favorite part is when the horns come in about three fourths of the way through the song. Those combined with the aforementioned falsetto chorus lines and the raw sound that his voice takes towards the end really get you into the emotion of the song.

LYRICS:
Time will bring the real end of our trial One day they'll be no remnants, no trace, no residual  Feelings within ya One day you won't remember me
Your face will be the reason I smile But I will not see what I cannot have forever I'll always love ya, I hope you feel the same
Oh, you played me dirty,  Your game was so bad You toyed with my affliction,  Had to fill out my prescription Found the remedy,  I had to set you free Away from me to see clearly The way that love can be when you are not with me I had to leave, I had to live I had to leave, I had to live
If I can't have you  Let love set you free to fly  Your pretty wings around Pretty wings, your pretty wings Your pretty wings, pretty wings around
I came wrong, you were right Transformed your love into like Baby believe me, I'm sorry I told you lies
I turned day into night,  Sleep 'til I die a thousand times I should have showed you Better nights, better times, better days I miss you more and more
If I can't have you  Let love set you free to fly  Your pretty wings around Pretty wings, your pretty wings Your pretty wings, your pretty wings around So pretty wings, your pretty wings Your pretty wings, your pretty wings around So oretty wings, oh pretty wings Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
(Dah, dah, yeah, dah) Pretty wings, your pretty wings around (Dah, yeah-eh-eh-eh) Pretty wings, your pretty wings around (Pretty, pretty, pretty Someone better's gonna love you) Pretty wings, your pretty wings around (Someone, someone's gonna love you, baby) Pretty wings, your pretty wings around (Yeah, ah, oh-oh) Pretty wings, your pretty wings around Pretty wings, your pretty wings around (Yeah, pretty, whoa-oh) Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
