Tina Turner – The Best (Official Music Video) [HD Upgrade]
Inspiration Behind The Best:
Simply the Best is rooted in a spirit of adoration, devotion and love. In recent years, March Madness, also known as the NCAA National Basketball Tournament, has adopted the Best to honor the eventual championship team. When two individuals who were meant to be together as a married couple, each are elevated to unparallel excellence once their joint qualities come together as one. Yet the Best also serves as a tribute to Tina’s success after emerging from a turbulent marriage and career struggles, she soared to global superstardom in her 40s.
Biblical Application:
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have,’ Luke 10:30-35.
Exegesis of the Best:
I call you when I need you, my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild
Oh, you come to me
Give me everything I need
Tina points to a friend who was always there when she needed them.
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
Oh, and it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
Tina provides details inside of a former relationship, filled with love and promises.
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
The opening chorus serves as appreciation and gratitude for this individual.
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
Tina is in love, hanging on every word of her partner.
In your heart, I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Tina is excited for every new day.
Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place
Tina finds comfort and security in the arms of her lover.
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
No one else compares to this man.
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Tina can’t imagine life without this man.
Each time you leave me, I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh baby, don’t let go
Oh, you’re the best, ooh
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Tina misses every moment away from this man. Her life without him simply isn’t the same.
Oh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oh, you’re the best!
In Tina’s eyes, no one compares to this man.
Final Thoughts:
Unfortunately, there is always someone more attractive, better, more talented and successful in life. The key to a long marriage is deciding at an early age, what is more important to you in life. Simply the best is in the eyes of the beholder. Internal qualities like compassion, integrity and servanthood are hard to find in one individual. When you figure out what you are looking for in a future soulmate, you’ll know when you meet this individual as long as you are patient and don’t settle for something less.
