Still Got Me
PJ Morton
Occupying the tradition of songs that insist on internal sufficiency in the face of external loss, this track moves through Morton's catalog as a quieter, more personal statement than his anthems. The production creates warmth without sentimentality — live instruments, tasteful arrangement, the sound of a band that has played together long enough to breathe together. Lyrically it maps the discovery that something essential survived whatever losses preceded this moment: still present, still functional, still yours. The gospel tradition understands this as grace; the soul tradition understands it as resilience; Morton's particular synthesis holds both simultaneously. His voice here is less preacher and more witness — someone reporting what they found when they looked, slightly surprised by what was there. Best encountered during solitary walks, the particular kind where you're taking inventory.
