Me and Music

Hey peeps! So. Realizing something I've known my whole life. Lmao. Ever do that? Bet you have. Just never realized it... 

For instance... Today I've realized (once again) that music means do freaking much to me... it is the audio version of Hallmark. Says things you've felt but never been able to put into words... You feel me? Not yet? Okay. Give me a sec.

The song that best describes what I'm looking for long term: Wanted by Hunter Hayes:

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips.
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

You'll always be wanted 

Yup. Me in a nutshell. (Interesting  metaphor... started around Shakespeare times... hard exterior within which a kernel of a nut is enclosed. Used as something very briefly explained. But seriously a hard exterior for something much meatier and sweet inside... like it!)

Now other songs include "Sing" by My Chemical Romance:

Sing it out
Boy, you've got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it out
Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
For every time that they want to count you out
Use your voice every single time you open up your mouth

Sing it for the boys
Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

Sing it out, boy they're gonna sell what tomorrow means
Sing it out, girl before they kill what tomorrow brings
You've got to make a choice
If the music drowns you out
And raise your voice
Every single time they try and shut your mouth

Sing it for the boys
Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

Cleaned-up corporation progress
Dying in the process
Children that can talk about it,
Living on the railways
People moving sideways
Sell it till your last days
Buy yourself a motivation
Generation Nothing,
Nothing but a dead scene
Product of a white dream
I am not the singer that you wanted
But a dancer
I refuse to answer
Talk about the past, sir
Wrote it for the ones who want to get away

Keep running!

Sing it for the boys
Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

Got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world
Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world

Very cool, huh? Let's keep going...

Not Over You by Gavin Degraw:

Dreams, that's where I have to go
To see your beautiful face anymore
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
We both admit we had it good
But until then it's alienation, I know
That much is understood
And I realize

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you, not over you

Damn, damn girl, you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you 

Bruises - Train/Ashley Monroe:

Haven't seen you since high school
Good to see you're still beautiful
Gravity hasn't started to pull
Quite yet I bet you're rich as hell

One that's five and one that's three
Been two years since he left me
Good to know that you got free
That town I know was keeping you down on your knees

These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to let you in again
You're not alone in how you've been
Everybody loses, we all got bruises
We all got bruises

Have you seen him? Not in years
How about her? No but I hear
She's in Queens with the man of her dreams
Funny back then she said that about you

Que sera you'll never guess who I saw
Remember Johnny B remember him we were best friends practically
Let's do this soon again, ten years is that what it's been?
Can't believe how time flies by
Leaving you makes me wanna cry

These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to let you in again
You're not alone in how you've been
Everybody loses, we all got bruises
We all got bruises

I would love to fix it all for you
I would love to fix you too
Please don't fix a thing whatever you do

These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to know you've got a friend
That you remember now and then
Everybody loses

These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It's good to let you in again
You're not alone in how you've been
Everybody loses,everybody loses, everybody loses
We all got bruises, We all got bruises, We all got bruises

Best Day of My Life - American Authors

Dayum... I can go on and on... can't you? What songs describe you? Your feelings? Your life and what you've been through?!?! Crazy huh? So many... So, so many. 

Just something for us all to think about. I asked an artist friend what inspired him to write his music... I believe his response was something like "some of it is life, some of it is sitting around here with nothing else to do" I may be totally wing, but to me that latter says hopes and dreams of what he'd like to see happen. I dunno. It'd what it would mean to me any way...

Good night again blog. Think I'm gonna listen to some music and drift off to la la land in my own private euphoria... :-* :-* :-*

What the...

February. In Ohio. Ok, ok. It's February every where, but at 7:10pm it's 63°!!! Unseasonable weather is becoming the norm. So... does that mean if we start having cold weather in the next year or so it well be "unseasonably cold"? How long does it take to determine what seasonable is exactly? Two years? Five years? 100 years? I mean, a week ago Georgia and South Carolina had snow ice. Some places got six inches.... I'm not an expert, but I don't think they want unseasonable weather down there any more. I know I wouldn't! Lol. But, let me add this. If us having warmer weather in the winter means the south has to endure our old stuff, sorry guys... I got a used shovel I'll sell ya! ;-)

Well, well, well... Looky who's back!

Hello world! Long time no type! Actually, it's been long enough for me to say "long time no Swype!" Lol. Gotta love technology... No longer doing this from my laptop, but from my tablet. No longer do I need to type each individual letter. That, in itself, is a beautiful thang!

Many, many things; many, many people; many, many experiences; and many, many laughs, years and other emotions have passed/changed in the last many, many years. Lol. And with these changes, you shall never hear certain names reposted for the simple reason they are no longer important to either me or my life in one form or another. ;-) No animosity here, just life continuance minus a certain few. 

There is no way I could even try to catch up, but I have over the years kept a few random thoughts and feelings jotted down (in very random places, I might add. So it'll take me some time to find and post them all... but I shall do my very best to do so. Hehe)

I just went through and re read all of my previous blogs. Yep. Pretty darn random. But I've also noticed several new "randomly yours" bloggers out there. C'este la vie! 

Another thing I noticed... I seemed to be catering to a few inquisitive people (instead of just keeping it random) by telling life experiences/answering questions and naming those involved. Lol. But, even I have to admit. In telling some of my life story (which is not the original intent of this silly thing...), I get pretty darn random. Maybe it will be acceptable in some weird way. If not, who cares? Lol! this is my blog! Get your own! ;-) :-*

So now the question is where and how to re start blogging my randomness..... I do believe I'll keep it more on a personal level while still keeping it real and randomly throw in a personal, yet nameless comment where needed so that only that person will know (and myself, of course)... You know, like I always have, only different. Hahaha!

On that note, I'm getting started.

I just had a great last few days living out a song from my favorite movie of all time. "The King And I". The Yule Brenner version. Any other version pales in comparison... I mean, seriously! There are certain movies that cannot nor should not ever be remade. This is one. Could name a few more, but that's drifting from the original intent again, so more on that later. Maybe. If it pops into my random mind again... So, the song. "Getting to Know You". For those who are unfamiliar, I suggest you watch the movie, but for quick reference, here are some of the words:

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you. Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me....  
Getting to know you, getting to feel free and easy. When I am with you, getting to know what to say....

This, for me, can be a very difficult thing to do because I'm shy. (Oh, yes I am! You have no way of knowing what I'm feeling inside when I'm talking to someone new... or how long it may have actually taken to say my first hello even... Lol) But some people have the awesome ability to make this process much easier than it could have been. Thank you for that! :-*

Ok. Not gonna lie. My mind is having trouble focusing on anything right now. At my daughter's and house full of kids crying, screaming, playing... yah. Got to do this later folks. Maybe tonight. 

See ya when I do!
