Raphael Saadiq's 'This World Is Drunk' is a Song You Need To Know
Jimmy LeeAt moment when American culture in general seems disturbingly drugged — less to celebrate or seek enlightenment than to just stay numb — these addiction laments, cautionary tales and mass-incarceration protest jams feel brave and necessary. From the chilling ‘70s soul majesty of “Kings Fall,” to the Last Poets-style testifying of Daniel J.
But the song that haunts most is “This World Is Drunk,” a boozing anti-anthem about a man’s struggle with substance abuse that may or may not be about one of the family members Saadiq has lost over the years . With nephew “Sir” Dylan Wiggins providing atmospheric keys, Saadiq conjures the intimacy of apiano ballads over a looping, live-sounding kit-drum beat, as verses nail the sad desperation of a backsliding ex-con who can’t get a leg up on the outside.
