Hi WD and All

is there a certain song that brings you right back to a specific place and time with someone special?

‘Current (hopefully LAST lady)’. “God Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts

‘Runaway Bride Wannabe’ “What Was I Thinking” Dierks Bentley

‘The many over four and a half years’ “We’ve Got Tonight” Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band

“My Ex Wife” (I have to think on that)

‘The many over next two years’ “Love the One Your With” Stephen Stills

‘First girlfriend’ “We’ve Only Just Begun” The Carpenters

I was out of town yesterday and will be again tomorrow, but glanced this morning to yesterday’s blogs…thanks to several of you for your comments. Yeah we are back together…she is just fine and a wonderful lady.

There are many songs that take me back to a particular place in time whether it was a good memory, bad memory, or just a regular ole memory. Call me crazy but sometimes I’ll pull out all my old pictures and throw on some tunes and have a good old reminence-laughing-crying session. I’m one of those people that tend to save things. So if I were to ever get married, I’m not sure how i’d feel about throwing away some of the things I have.

Yeah I could write a love song and have attempted it many times. Poems are pretty much songs and I have plenty of those. Love is a very strange thing. Something that can make you feel so good and bring so much to your life can also do the extreme opposite. It’s one of those things that can bring out every emotion a human can experience. I’m pretty sure I’m reaching my blog length limit, so i’ll chime in again later

Laney If you’re lurking, I hope you’re feeling okay. If you feel up to it, peek your head in so we can see how your recovery is coming along.

Morning Folks!!

I’m feeling a little crunchy this morning, but I’ll try to keep it positive….

I loooovvvveee this song, and everytime I used to hear it, it would remind me of what I didn’t have in my then current relationship. Now, when I hear it, I think of how I will not settle for anything less.

Lyfe Jennings- Must Be Nice

1st Verse: Must be nice Having someone who understands the life you live Must be nice Having someone who’s slow to take and quick to give Must be nice Having someone who sticks around when the rough times get thick someone who’s smile is bright enough to make the projects feel like a mansion Must be nice Having someone who loves you despite your faults Must be nice Having someone who talks the talk but also walks the walk Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too someone who loves you for sho’ you just remember to never let ‘em go

Chorus: Even when your hustling days are gone She’ll be by your side still holding on/Even when those 20’s stop spinning and all those gold-digging women disappear she’ll still be here

Morning Blog:

I have already made a mixtape! It’s called My Love: Anthology One, Two and the Ultimate Anthology. Well actually, I guess it’s three mixtapes. It was back from the time when I was with my ex-hubby. I’ve always felt that my life is one big mixtape of songs. When I’m in love I think everyone knows it because it shows on my MP3. Currently my song is “Find Myself in You” by Brian McKnight. It’s simply the best song right now for how I”ve been feeling lately. ‘Bout to listen to it now.

Is there a certain song that brings you right back to a specific place and time with someone special? Yep.(smiles)…and they are attached to different people for different reasons. They are:

Keith Sweat-Right and a Wrong Way

Boys to Men-End of the Road

Jagged Edge-Gotta Be

John Legend- So High

SeanJ I agree with you on the Mary J tip. Most of her albums take me back to some times, some real serious times. It’s like she was there with me feeling the same way. Also, Brandy’s Album Never Say Never had a lot of cuts on it that said what i was feeling:

Almost Doesn’t Count, Have You Ever, Tomorrow

Good Morning Everyone!!

For my college boyfriend this song came to mind:

Should I even listen Should I even try Will I just be hearing the same old lines

Baby See it doesn;t matter What you say this time Cause our whole relationship Is built on one lie You say things aren’t the way they seem But still you can’t come straight with me

How can you think that you’re in love When you don’t know the meaning of

Love Shoulda brought you, Brought you, Home last night You shoulda been with me Shoulda been right by my side Baby If you cared anything for me Then love woulda brought you To me last night

Gotta hand it to ya Ya bad me there for a while I was so in love with you I couldn’t see past your smile Now I smell the coffee Boy, I got a wake up call And it left the message That you just don’t care at all You can’t expect me to Believe that she doesn’t mean anything You say that you love only me Your kinda lovin’ my darling I just don’t need

Good Morning All,

I love all types of music and depending on my mood the music of my life that day can change. But lets see what is on the Ipod of my life…

In highschool there was New Edition’s…Popcorn Love and Mr. Telephone Man. Song that causes me the most anxiety and a flood of memories good and bad from that time period.. Keith Sweat’s Right and A Wrong Way

In my BMK (before my kid) days it was Whitney Houston, Brandy, and Mariah Carey who played in the key of my life with So emotional and Sitting up in my room Cant let go

Upon the birth of my son Aretha Franklin’s —-Natural Woman and Regina Bell’s If I Could

At this stage the road is filled with rough patches in love The First Cut is the Deepest by Sheryl Crow and ** In Repair by John Mayer.

Someone always makes me think of the classic and smooth songs Fever sung by Shirley Horn and Feeling Good with Nina Simone Heck ever now and then there is some Black Sweat with Prince.

But my hope is to find the one that will make me sing along with Heather Headley to He Is or Your’re My Everything with Anita Baker.

I recall one time when my ex-SO had just taken me to my limit, I made a mix tape that chronicled my feelings for him from start to finish. I started out with sweet songs and progressively got more angry. I wish i had the tape so i could list all the songs on there for you all. I’m sure you’d find it funny. I remember that I had Toni Braxton’s Just Be a Man About it lol

Lol! Mix tapes! Reminds me of “High Fidelity”.

I am the world’s worst maker of mix tapes, but an ex girlfriend made one for me when I was in high school that was perfect. “I Can’t Make You Love Me” Bonnie Raitt, “Baby You Can Sleep While I Drive” Melissa Etheride, “Constant Craving” KD Lang, “The Last Day of our Acquaintance” Sinead O’Connor…those are the highlights anyway.

And on another unrelated note, the xbf rang me this morning and wanted to know if he did all these things he wanted to do and “proved” himself to me, would I take him back? I haven’t the heart to tell him I’m seeing someone as I would feel terrible about the consequences. Help!

Lyrics that symbolize what I felt when I first started dating my current SO:

Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam

Baby, I know you’re wondering

Why I won’t go over to your place Cause I’m not to sure about how you feel

So I’d rather go at my own pace

And I know and you know that if we get together

Emotions will grow to work

And I may do something I might regret the next day

And end up hurt

Oh I don’t know

I threw a Bday party for my SO…and I put together the mixed CDs….He didn’t like any of my CDs. But what was funny, one of my favorite songs is All Cried Out and when that came on EVERY female in the joint starting singing and we formed a circle. The men started running to the box to turn it off….My brother-in-law was like…all y’all been thru some things

All alone on a Sunday morning Outside I see the rain is falling Inside I’m slowly dying But the rain will hide my crying, crying, crying

And you, don’t you know my tears will burn the pillow Set this place on fire ‘cause I’m tired of your lies All I needed was a simple “Hello” But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear me cry

I, I gave you my love in vain My body never knew such pleasure My heart never knew such pain And you, you leave me so confused Now I’m all cried out over you

Oh, you. Im over you, oooh.

(Paul Anthony) Never wanted to see things you way I had to go astray, oh, why was I such a fool?

(Bowlegged Lou) Now I see that the grass is greener [why oh why] Is it too late for me to find my way home, How could I be so wrong? [Leavin’ me all alone]

(Lisa Lisa) Don’t you know the hurt will cause an inferno Romance up in flames, why should I take the blame You were the one who left me neglected [I’m so sorry] Apology not accepted, add me to the broken hearts you’ve collected

I, I gave you all of me (gave me all of you) How was I to know you would weaken so easily I, I don’t know what to do I’m all cried out [I’m all] over you [I’m cried out too]

How Could The One I Was So True Too, Just Tell Me Lies? How Could The One I Gave My Heart To, Break This Heart Of Mine? Tell Me…….. How Could You Be So Cold To Me? When I Gave You Everything. All My Love, All I Had Inside. How Could you Just Walk Out The Door? How Could You Not Love Me Anymore? I Thought We Had Forever. I Cant Understand.

You must have heard it from my best friend She’s always talkin’ when she should be listenin’ Can’t keep a secret to save her life But still I trusted her with all I felt inside

Eric Benet’s When You Think of Me

This goes out to all of my EXesssss….we still cool

Hello baby how ya’ been,

nice to see your face again

Strange to see you coming ‘round,

when you’re the one who put me down

We were such a happy pair,

but then another man was there

So forgive me I don’t understand, just what you want from me

As you can see my life’s been good I moved the family out the neighborhood

And all my dreams I’ve realized, to think you said it was a waste of time

It’s never hard to make new friends, when you’re making Benjamins

Now did I hear you say again… You’re still thinking of me?

Do you feel like dying, do you break down crying Do you fall down on your knees Don’t want to go on living, does your world start spinning When you think of me

Good morning bloggers, especially the 1’s (SEXI and SLIM). I remember when Mariah Carey and Michael Bolton were out in the early nineties. I was going through a divorce and those songs seemed to sum up the whole experience. I clearly remember one sunday afternoon, it was a beautiful day, I was watching football and listening (Mariah Carey came on) to the radio and realizing the pain of the divorce was less than the pain of being married. It was such a great experience. Whenever I hear Mariah now I think back to those times, she is kind of empowering to me.

Also, I was dating a chick in 2000. I really loved her but she started the lets get married thing. I heard the song by Lenny Williams ” Cause I Love You”. I remember realizing it was going to hurt but I wasn’t going to marry her. She wasn’t the one. I went and got 2 copies of that song, 1 for the car and 1 for the house. It helped me through the whole thing.

Looking back both of those experiences were turning points in my life. It sounds crazy but sometimes the blessing in life are not what you gain but what you loose.

When you’re going through a Break-Up turn on Lauryn Hill’s Ex-Factor

It could all be so simple

But you’d rather make it hard

Loving you is like a battle

And we both end up with scars

Tell me, who I have to be

To get some reciprocity see

No one loves you more than me

And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game That forces you to act this way

Forces you to scream my name Then pretend that you can’t stay

Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity see

No one loves you more than me And no one ever will

Hook: No matter how I think we grow You always seem to let me know

It ain’t workin’

It ain’t workin’

And when I try to walk away

You’d hurt yourself to make me stay

This is crazy This is crazy

They said I wouldn’t make it, They said I wouldn’t be here today. They said I wouldn’t amount to anything. But I’m glad to say, that i’m on my way, And I’m going more and more each day. For there were many that started out with me, But now they’ve gone astray. But I’m still holding on. I’m still holding on I’m still holding to his hand. You see when i was young, I gave God my hand, And I told him to lead the way. For the road has been rough And the goings been mighty tough, still I ain’t going Nowhere, I’m right here to stay. For I’ve been talked about and Lord I’ve been criticized. I had to wipe many tears from my eyes. But I’m still holding on I’m still holding on. I’m still holding on to his hand.

On the blue eyed soul tip. George Michaels “One More Try” was it. I had gotten out of the army and went in the national guard to make money while I was in college. On drill weekends I would get up at 4am to get to drill and that song would always play. The roads were empty except for George and me. I have the Best of George Michael DVD (Just listened to the song again, still makes my eyes water) and realized it wasn’t so much the song but the emotion it brought. At that time everything I touched turned to gold. It was amazing to be so lucky. I would tell people you could drop me in the middle of the desert and I’d make it home. I really believed that. That song brings all that back. My luck still hasn’t run out. Life is good.

Also, anything with Anita or Regina Belle is hot.

Dr Kym -

Exactly! I’m also a sucker for muscials, so “If Ever I Would Leave You” from Camelot, or “On the Street Where You Live” from “My Fair Lady”.

And I llluuuuuvvvv Jimmy Buffet. Grew up listening to him. “In the Shelter” or his cover of “Moonlight and Magnolias”.

And classics like “My Funny Valentine”, “Three Coins in a Fountain”, “Don’t Get Around Much”, “Anything But Love”, “Save the Last Dance for Me”, and ANY and ALL Cole Porter!!!

Hey ALL. Long time no blog LOL

Song that comes to mind for the last SO After 7 “Til You Do Me Right” Til you do me right…I don’t even want to talk to you..I don’t even want to hear you speak my name. Til you do me right..only wrong is gonna come to you nothing good is gonna come until you change your ways..until you change your evil ways.

For the best SO I ever had (at 19) Alone With You..Tevin Campbell We were holding hands in the park We had to hurry home before it starts I can’t wait to see your smile again and I love the time we spend….

I just want to be alone with you and there’s nothing else I’d rather do I just want the chance I had again..just us two until the end.

Whew..the memories :-)

Sexione now you know I don’t want to have to start testifying up in here! Those songs too have a way of touching your spirit but it has me feeling so full at times that you get overwhelmed with emotion. All I can do is be blessed for what all i’ve been through and where I am now.

Center of my JOY is another one for me. Jesus, You’re the center of my joy.

All that’s good and perfect comes from You.

You’re the heart of my contentment.

Hope for all I do Jesus, You’re the center of my joy.

When I’ve lost my direction,

You’re the compass for my way.

You’re the fire and light.

When nights are long and cold, In sadness,

You’re my laughter That shatters all my fears When I’m all alone, Your hand is there to hold.

Morning folks!

This is a great topic and I honestly have too many songs on my mixtape (ipod playlist) to mention.

The last time I made a ‘mixtape’ for a particular person was in 2002. Won’t ever do that again, because now I can’t listen to any of those songs without thinking of him and those thoughts aren’t very pleasant.

I’m loving the songs mentioned here. ‘Come Share My Love’ - I wish itunes would get that song. That and some Phyllis Hyman music…I guess I could stop being lazy and search elsewhere, LOL.

Chullato Amel Larrieux I love that CD!! I was a fan of hers when she was in Groove Theory, and Get up is still my fav song of hers.

The song I hope to sing to my husband to be at our wedding is Just the Way You Are (the Diana Krall version). Then, I’ll sing That’s All.

My mixtapes usually included some Prince, Janet Jackson and Jill Scott. I liked Maxwell until the radio stations here wore him out! Lawd, if I hear Fortunate one-mo-gain! Lauryn Hill’s Ex Factor brings back some bad memories. LOL!

What up blog Said while reminiscing.

This has taken me back to some serious old girlfriends. Each of these songs has a girl attached.

High School:

How deep is your love. K. Sweat Vision of love M. Carey Love makes things Happen Babyface and Pebbles Boys to men slow side Anita Baker When two are in love Prince Edward J Slow jam mix tape

College:

Adore Prince Jodeci
Bump and Grind R. Kelly Theres no me with out you Toni Braxton Mary J. Blige (Whats the 411) Edward J. Slow jam mix tape.

On but off topic

When I was in high school, and Blockbuster was very popular, and Midnight love used to come on BET, I would record the videos. What was so wild about it, was that it was edited with no commecials, and only the popular slow jam videos. So as soon as the Blockbuster movie would go off, I would put the slow jam video tape in the VCR. Talking about some heavy petting, and listening for my moms footsteps all at the same time.
True Story.

Man this topic is going to have some people using google to find old names.

Call me crazy…It could be the New Yorker in me, but sometimes I don’t want to hear all the lovey dovey stuff. So, on my soundtrack I need one love song that keeps it real-It is ‘You’re all I need to Get By’ by Mary J. Blige and Method Man.

Favorite Verse: I’m a walk these dogs so we can live in a fat a* crib with thousands of kids. Word life- don’t need a ring to be my wife. Just be there for me and I’m a make sho’ we be livin’ in the f’n lap of luxury. I’m realizing that you did not have to *mess with me. But you did. Now, I’m goin’ all out kid. I got mad love to give. You my *.

Translation: I’m going to work 24/7 to make sure you have everything you want and need. I’m doing it for you and our children. We don’t need the special bond that we share validated by some legal document. Just stay by my side and I will make sure that you want for nothing. I realize that when we met you had other options that you could have pursued. But, you saw something in me that no other cat had. Your love and support is motivating me to be a better man. You are my woman.

That’s my joint.

Karen White’s Superwoman

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table,

and make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream…

Your eggs are overeasy, your toast unlikely,

all that’s missing is your morning kiss that used to greet me…

Now you say the juice is sour, it used to be so sweet,

and I can’t help but to wonder if you’re talking about me…

We don’t talk the way we used to talk, it’s hurting so deep,

I’ve got my pride, I will not cry, but it’s making me weak…

I’m not your superwoman…

I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down, and think that everything is okay…

Boy I am only human…

This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me…

I fought my way through the rush hour trying to make it home just for you…

I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you…

But when you get there, you just tell me you’re not hungry at all,

you said you’d rather read the paper and you don’t want to talk…

You like to think that I’m just crazy when I say that you’ve changed,

I’m convinced I know the problem, you don’t love me the same…

You’re just going through the motions and you’re not being fair,

I’ve got my pride, I will not cry, still I can’t help but care!!!

I’m not your superwoman…(oh no no no!!!)

I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everything is okay…

Boy I am only human…(I’m only human!!!)

This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me…

If you’re having drinks at the crib, throw this on and leave the TV off, get close on the couch and just chill…The music will do the rest, plus she’ll think you’re all cultured…You don’t have to tell her a friend hipped you to it…hahahahahahaha

Good morning Everyone!

Past experiences The song that galvanized me into moving on from my last relationship was India.arie’s “Heart of the Matter.” I got a call that I didn’t want to hear…but it wasn’t from an old friend. I am not an India fan, but 107.5 started playing it at the right time for me. The song is about forgiveness and letting go; re-learning the things I thought I’d figured out about love and relationships. I thought he was my last, but apparently God had another and absolutely better plan. Just goes to show that when you think you know it all, you have a lot more to learn.

Interestingly, a male acquaintance took me to the O’Jays concert in February. My heart was still tender from the break up. When Jeffrey Osborne sang “Love Ballad”, I had to fight back tears…

It is too early to apply a song that fully defines my current relationship. Perhaps “Getting to Know You”? LOL! If things continue positively, perhaps “Livin’ for the Love of You” by The Isley Brothers. Possible sweet messages: Body & Soul Anita Baker. A Song for You Donnie Hathaway. We Both Deserve Each Other’s Love Jeffrey Osborne. Just Because Anita Baker. Lovin’ You by Minnie Riperton. Oh, I can think of lots more! LOL!

Have a Powerful, Productive, Prosperous and Positive Day!!!

Ah… I love this topic. Although, I’m a bit of an oddball, so I tend to gravitate toward the comically bitter breakup and/or sexual frustration songs — always more entertaining to me than the sappy stuff. So, tops on my countdown would be:

For my ex-wife: “One More Night” by Stars — a great little tune about break-up sex…

“…He starts with her back,

‘Cause that’s what he sees

And when she’s breaking his heart,

She still f@#ks like a tease…”

For those annoying dry spells: “No P#$$y Blues” by Grinderman — pretty much speaks for itself…

And, my one sappy one — for my current SO: “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys
