Que Sera Sera (feat. Selah Sue)

The song 'Que Sera Sera,' performed by Marcus Miller featuring Selah Sue, is a cover of the classic song originally sung by Doris Day. The lyrics convey a message about the unpredictability of life and the acceptance of its inherent uncertainties. The phrase 'Que sera, sera,' which is Spanish for 'Whatever will be, will be,' serves as the song's chorus and central theme, suggesting a philosophy of letting go and allowing life to unfold without trying to control every outcome.

The song narrates the progression of life from the perspective of a young girl asking her mother about her future, to a grown woman in love, and finally to a mother herself, addressing her own children's curiosity about their destinies. In each stage, the response 'Que sera, sera' is a comforting refrain that emphasizes the futility of worrying about what cannot be predicted or changed. It's a reminder to focus on the present and to find peace in the fact that the future is not ours to see.

Marcus Miller's rendition, with the soulful voice of Selah Sue, brings a contemporary feel to the timeless message of the song. The collaboration between the jazz bassist and the Belgian singer adds a layer of musical depth to the simple yet profound wisdom of the lyrics. The song encourages listeners to embrace life's journey with an open heart, acknowledging that while we may have hopes and dreams, ultimately, the future is beyond our control.
