Tuesday Beat: Brandy - Fear of Flying

Today's selection comes with a music history lesson. The instrumental used for this song has been passed down for a few years. The piano instrumental was originally done by Ryuichi Sakamoto and is called Forbidden Colors. It is a beautiful and haunting piece. Hikaru Utada, brought it into the pop realm with her song FYI. Why do I know this? I happen to listen to some of her music.
Alexandra Burke tried her hand at this song, but I think thus far Brandy has done it justice in the US.
Forgive the video for its crap. Just listen to the song.
