Stevie Wonder's "Innervisions" Album = GOAT (very interesting story)

so last night i'm sittin there n decide to fire up Billy Bong Thornton
aka the hookah...and i turned off the tv (until it was time to watch
this Wright State game) and turned off all the lights...i sat down with
my hookah and turned on some music...after my laptop monitor turns off
after one minute it's pitch dark in there except for the hookah which
lights up upon every toke (as u can see in the pic)....so 1st album i
turn on is the Superfly soundtrack...i've heard it before time n time
again but i'm still diggin it...then after i cut that off i flipped thru
my stevie wonder folder...and out of the 39 albums in there i decided to
stop on one called "Innervisions" from 1973...the 1st song that comes on
is one called "Too High" lol haha...so already i'm bobbin my head n got
my facial expression in that "this room stank" face...not cuz it stinks
cuz it actually smells good but cuz the sound was so funky...so then as
the song goes on i'm kinda zoning out a little bit kinda sonic boom type
like the butterfly effect...then i kinda see myself being held by my dad
and dancin with my mom and dad n maybe my sister.....

now if u remember the original kitt story u remember my dad left when i
was about 3yrs old....so to be zoomin back to when i was like under 3yrs
old or whatever is crazy enough....so i start thinkin "i need to put
this pipe down...i'm wiggin out....aint no way i can remember some song
i havent heard in over 20-somethin yrs!" but as the song played and
played the hairs on my arms started to raise and my eyes started to
water...and i started daydreaming about what the house looked like that
we lived in before David Ruffin (protect my dad's real name) decided to part ways with us...then the next song comes on and i start feeling more
eerie...then a handful of songs later this song called "All is Fair in
Love" comes on and i'm sittin there just in a state of shock cuz i cant
tell if i've heard these songs or not...and usually if some current
artist samples even the slightest hint of a song i'd recognize it...but
these songs didnt strike memories like that so i know i havent heard
these...i tried to call my mom last night but she didnt answer...so i
just sat there n kept playing the album...and i started thinkin "if they
played this when i was like 1 or 2 thats wierd for me to remember
that...plus it must've been a favorite of theirs or his or hers to still
be playin about a decade later since it came out in 73."

so i called my mom this mornin and i asked her about the album...mainly
the song "too high" n she kinda paused n said "r u serious?" n told me
they listened to that constantly and a bunch of stevie period...but that
was one of the main ones they played and she even began to sing the song
word for word fresh out of her sleep n said she hadnt heard it in
yrs....she said its odd for me to remember somethin from that far back
and she said she prolly even played it during her pregnancy which could
prove that thing about the subconscious intake/memory of a person...

now after all these yrs i finally have my 1st good memory of my dad
ever....and i dont quite know how i feel about that....but i do know
this is the best album i have ever heard and i think it changed my
life.....screw mega millions...i won the real lotto last night.....but
i'm still broke tho ha...anyone up for a game of Bingo?
