Find Some Music

It's amazing how the video era changed the way we see music. I was watching Transformers: Dark Of The Moon for the 16th time. Don't you dare judge me. And there was a song that played in a scene where the "heroes" approach the fallen city of Chicago.

When I saw the movie in the theater, immediately I knew who the artist was. While I watched, I felt that the backdrop of the carnage was perfect. Then I saw the official music video. Not what I pictured. But then I thought, that's what music is supposed to do.

Music should make you feel...

Music should make you move...

Music should make you SEE.

As a kid I remember that aside from reading, music was my greatest escape. In my mind, I saw the scenes laid out by singers/songwriters. And they spoke to me with their words of love and passion. They wooed me with their frustrations and melancholy. They brought to life places I'd never been and people I'll never meet, and I felt alive.

Today get some music in your life, and see where it takes you.

Can We Love Again

Lying here it seems like yesterday
When is laughed and we planned
Like we knew about tomorrow

Now it feels like the clock on that wall
Wants to remind me
There's nothing in this room
But pain and sorrow

I remember
We said nothing's gonna break us
Nothing can ever break us
So why's this empty room closing in
And I can barely breathe

I need you
I miss you
I wish you
Could touch my heart again
But I'm here
And you're where
I want to know
Can we love again?

If I could change the words I said
Would it take away the pain
Right now I'd take all the blame

So why does seem the clock on that wall
Wants to remind me
There's nothing in this room
But pain and sorrow

I remember
We said nothing's gonna break us
Nothing can ever break us
So why's this empty room closing in
And I can barely breathe

I need you
I miss you
I wish you
Could touch my heart again
But I'm here
And you're where
I want to know
Can we love again?

Let's Talk Love

I decided to end this week with a love song...(well not really song literally) But I wanted to talk about love. I had a wonderful night out recently and I was slightly deflated by what could have been a big mistake, I knew it then and definitely know it now.
But It got me thinking about what "Being in Love" was/is like. I was told recently "I still love you, you know." I smirked because in my head I thought "I used to love you."


He says he still loves me. All I can say is I used to love him.

I remember that one, for whom my heart skipped.
The one that made me smile day after day, after day. I used to love him.
Every morning I longed to hear his voice, I wanted to see his face.
I felt lost in everything that was him.
He stole my heart.

I thought that all that he was was all that I needed.
He was the truth in my life. He was my addiction. I used to need him.
He was my life while kept drowning in him, and I held him tight.
I was overwhelmed by him being near.
He was in my mind.

After I'd given my everything and I felt nothing.
He was still in my bones like marrow that strengthens. How I longed for him.
Like the ocean kissing the shore, I felt him all around.
I'm entranced by the power that he possesses.
I think about him.

I am his queen, he claims to worship my grace
He finds my beauty to be his prisoner and he's trapped. He needs me.
He thinks about what I'm thinking, he wants me to be near.
I'm every woman to him and he can't help himself.
He says he loves me.

Mmmmmmmmm
I remember I used to love him!
