    "comment": "A mid-tempo heartbreak song, the lyrics of \"The Root\" have the narrator lamenting a lost lover; \"In the name of love and war, she took my shield and sword ... From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor/Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine/From the alpha of creation, to the end of all time\".\n--\nD’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were widely acclaimed as masterful works of art, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 51 after a private battle with pancreatic cancer. \n\nNominated for 14 Grammys over the course of his career, D’Angelo won four awards, including Best R&B Album twice for Voodoo and Black Messiah. He also won Best R&B Vocal Performance for “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” and Best R&B Song for Black Messiah’s “Really Love.” \n\nRead more about D'Angelo and his musical legacy here:\nhttps://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dangelo-dead-obit-obituary-1235446878/",
