The connection to the song “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly and the transcendentalism of intuition shows that he believes he has the ability to fly and soar to achieve different goals in his life.
Why choosing this song R Kelly believes that if he puts his mind to work, he could achieve anything in his path. When this song was released in 1996 it was a big hit because even though people knew physically they couldn’t fly they believed they could go higher with the goals they set for their life. Kelly says, “I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky”, (R Kelly). Although knowing as human beings we can’t fly he makes an analogy or an example of soaring to the highest level you can or reaching your highest goals in life. Also Kelly says, “I spread my wings and fly away”, (R Kelly). Yet assuming R Kelly knows our feet can never leave the ground or arms can’t grow into wings he still has hope and faith that people will receive a message from this song. Although the song goes on he says, “I think about it every night and day/ I believe I can soar”, (R Kelly). Also lets his fans know that he really put some time into every thought that came across his mind. In conclusion this song is transcendental because it focuses on the idea of intuition or logic. He believes he has insight into the idea of flying and he believes it rather than making logical assumptions. He lets his fans know that he not only can make hit singles, but he can make hit singles that relates to people’s life style. Also as R Kelly strives for powerful words of wisdom, the connection he makes to this song “I Believe I Can Fly” gives his fans a reason to believe strongly in something.
