Rating: 1974: After the success of "Innervision," Stevie delivers this album, which does not reach the level of the previous one, though it remains musically very interesting. "Fulfillingness' First Finale" is the complicated title of a record containing 10 tracks that are quite easy to listen to. The second track "Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away" is one of the high points of the work, a soul piece with a truly engaging chorus, almost like a gospel song. Also beautiful is the introspective ballad, timid and whispered "Too Shy to Say."
One of the most interesting songs is "They Won't Go When I Go," which creates a truly splendid atmosphere. Also nice are: "Boogie On Reggae Woman," in which the artist as a bass player sends chills, "Creepin'," and the political protest song "You Haven't Done Nothin'." The rest is a bit below Stevie's standards. On the other hand, this is the album of preparation for the absolute masterpiece of soul music, which will be his next album: "Songs In the Key of Life."
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Smile Please (03:28)
Your smiling face is, an earth like star
A frown can't bring out the beauty that you are
Love within, and you'll begin smiling
There're brighter days ahead
Don't mess your face up with bitter tears
'Cause life is gonna, be what it is
It's okay, don't delay from smiling
There're brighter days ahead
Baum baum baum de baby baum [Repeat]
A smiling face you, don't have to see
'Cause it's as joyful as a christmas tree
Love within, and you'll begin smiling
There're brighter days ahead
Love's not competing, it's on your side
You're in life's picture so why must you cry
So for a friend please begin to smile, please
There're brighter days ahead
Baum baum de baby baum...
Please smile for me
Baum baum de baby baum...
Please smile for me

05 Creepin' (04:20)
I can hear you sighin'
Say you'll stay beside me
Why must it be
You always creep
Into my dreams
On the beach we're sitting
Hugging, squeezing, kissing
Why must it be
You always creep
Into my dreams
In my dreams
When I'm asleep at night baby
I feel those moments of ecstasy
When you sleep at night baby
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be, I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh, love is so amazing
Guess you will be staying
So let it be
You always creep
Into my dreams
In my dreams
[Harmonica Solo]
When I'm asleep at night baby
I feel those moments of ecstasy
When you sleep at night baby
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be, I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh, love is so amazing
Guess you will be staying
So let it be
That you always creep
Into my dreams
In my dreams... [Repeat]
