Love Songs…
I believe you can tell a lot about a person by listening to the music that speaks to their spirit… so in the interest of ‘getting to know me’ I’m sharing some of my loves and why. There are so many that make my spirit buzz and my heart skip a beat… the rare ones that capture your attention the first time you hear them… the ones that make you nod your head in agreement and want to shout ‘YES!’ because they are telling your story….
People sleep on ‘Country’… I’m not sure if it’s the accents, the instruments or some of the more maudlin lyrics. In any event ya’ll are missing out on some b*e*a*u*t*i*f*u*l stuff.
This is a Garth Brooks song, I’ve always felt that if two lovers could feel this way about each other, there would be nothing impossible for them to achieve… for themselves… or for each other. I tried to go over the lyrics to pull out something… anything… that rubbed my heart better than the rest… and nothing. It’s just a really great song… and guess what… when I’m in love… I happen to be that fool for her smh…
Hmmm maybe I’ll outgrow it? Anyway I’m rambling… the lyrics are below… Sorry for the lengthy stuff but read them… all of them…

SHAMELESS…
Well I’m shameless when it comes to loving you
I’ll do anything you want me to
I’ll do anything at all
And I’m standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby that’s what’s left of me
Don’t have very far to fall
You know I’m not a man who’s ever been
Insecure about the world I’ve been livin’ in
I don’t break easy I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied
I’m shameless, oh honey I don’t have a prayer
Every time I see you standin’ there
I go down upon my knees
And I’m changin’ swore I’d never compromise
Oh but you convinced me otherwise
I’ll do anything you please
You see in all my life I’ve never found
What I couldn’t resist what I couldn’t turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can’t walk away from you
I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I’ve made myself a world and it’s worked so perfectly
But it’s your world now I can’t refuse
I’ve never had so much to lose
Oh I’m shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who’s strong
To say he’s sorry or admit when he’s wrong
I’ve never lost anything I’ve ever missed
But I’ve never been in love like this
It’s out of my hands
I’m shameless, I don’t have the power now
I don’t want it anyhow
So I got to let it go
Oh I’m shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know
Oh I’m shameless
I just wanted you to know
Oh I’m shameless
Oh I’m down on my knees…shameless

Now ‘Rock’ and I have had a special love affair forever. My all time favorite love song is Meatloaf ‘I would do anything for love…’ I was 14 when this song came out, and it was the template I followed for the things I’d be willing to do for the one I love.
Now the things he says… the things she says… huge eye opener… FOR me. So I’ve schlepped on in my relationships… trying to do all of the things listed below. Never once noticing I probably wasn’t getting them in return. I did a lot of growing up … so I’ve since noticed. This is an easy template to follow if you care and ARE WILLING, but everyone involved doesn’t always care and they aren’t always willing. For most… it’s just too much pressure.
Anyway… the part that makes my blood move is the section where the female vocalist is challenging his declaration… “I would do anything for love” When I hear it, I can imagine my future wife and I think to myself…
‘YES!!!!!!!
Just get over here already!’
(lmao sorry I just burst into fits of giggles)
Seriously though… while I want to RECEIVE everything this lady is talkin below… It’s more important to me to be able to PROVIDE them. I used to be a hopeless romantic… now I’m just hopelessly romantic for HER. I believe ‘My Future Honey’ is an awesomely amazing woman, and she deserves an awesomely amazing woman. It’s a struggle… but I’m trying.

ANYTHING FOR LOVE (performed by Ms. Loud)
Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I’m so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?
Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water-if I get too hot-?
Will you take me places I’ve never known?

In conclusion boys and girls… my life is comprised of its own catalog of music. When it comes to love… hmm all I can say is… two years ago I penned the phrase “She’s my music… I’m her radio…” and this is why.
