Sobre el álbum
El revolucionario álbum de debut Songs in A Minor presentó al mundo a una artista de un talento generacional. Con este disco, Alicia Keys fusionó de manera magistral su formación en piano clásico con la sensibilidad del neo-soul y la crudeza del hip-hop, creando un sonido completamente nuevo y personal. De este modo, la artista establece desde el principio su identidad, con canciones que combinan complejas estructuras musicales y una honestidad lírica arrolladora.
Por consiguiente, el single "Fallin'" se convirtió en un fenómeno global, una canción que exhibía su increíble potencia vocal y su destreza al piano. El resto del álbum mantiene un nivel de calidad extraordinario, mostrando una madurez y una visión artística impropias de una debutante. "Songs in A Minor" no solo arrasó en las listas de éxitos y en los premios Grammy, sino que también redefinió el sonido del R&B para el nuevo milenio.

Letra
Hmmm Bye bye How do you love someone That hurts you oh so bad With intentions good Was all he ever had But how do I let go when I've Loved him for so long and I've Givin him all that I could Maybe love is a hopeless crime Giving up what seems your lifetime What went wrong with something once so good? How do you find the words to say To say goodbye (Find the words to say goodbye) When your heart don't have the heart to say To say goodbye (Find the words to say goodbye) I know now I was naive Never knew where this would lead And I'm not tryin' to take away From the good man that he is But how do I let go when I've Loved him for so long and I've Givin him all that I could Was there something wrong that we did Cause others infiltrated What went wrong with something once so good? Is this the end Are you sure How should you know when you've never been here before It's so hard to just let go When this is the one and only love I've ever known - The Life5:25
Letra
Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind 'Cause when it rains, it pours Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through All the hard times that's going to face you This is the life, striving to survive This is the life, striving to survive Living will always be a struggle looking for someone true to loveyou Looking back a scene horrors, this madness makes me want tohide Slowly, internally, I'm dying Pillow case is wet from all my crying There is nothing more to be here for Take me away, I can't live that life no more This is the life, striving to survive This is the life, striving to survive This is the life, striving to survive This is the life, Striving to survive La La La La La La La.... (Musical Break) This is the life, striving to survive This is the life, striving to survive This is the life - Mr. Man (featuring Jimmy Cozier)

Letra
Friends we've been for so long Now true colors are showing Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does Cuz I had to say goodbye By now I should know That in time things would change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad How can I adjust To the way that things are going It's killing me slowly Oh I just want it to be how it used to be Cuz I wish that I could stay But in time things must change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize Your actions speak much louder than words So tell me why oh By now I should know that That in time things would change So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad By now I should know That in time things must change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad By now I should know That in time things must grow And I had to leave you behind So why do I feel so sad If it couldn't be that bad Tell me why By now I should know That in time things would change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad - Caged Bird (outro)
