[from the movie 'The Commitments'] Soul is the music people understand. But it's something else 'cause,'cause, 'cause it's honest. It sticks its neck out and says it straight from the heart. Sure, there's a lot of different music you can get off on, but soul is more than that. It takes you somewhere else. It grabs you buy the balls and lifts you above the shite.
