Put It In A Love Song...The Love Note

 "Say you love me, say you love me, put it in a love song....."-Alicia Keys featuring Beyoncé

Yea, yea, lack of originality, I know, what is up with the song titles. I can't help it. I'm in love!

Music is my Muse. Actually, it is my first love; my true love; love of my life; I bleed love,(oops, there she goes again);and my everything. Music is my life!

So I guess, I draw a lot of my writing inspiration from songs, and for my life there are so many soundtracks. Right now, I'm in between Coyote Ugly and Burlesque soundtracks.

But music is like that. It has so much power over our lives, and I believe it is the best gift that God ever placed on this earth.

Music has brought us Michael Jackson who bridged the racial gap; empowerment,(born this way);inspiration,(the greatest love of all);affect change,(what's going on);bring nations together,(waka waka) and made us dance,(living la vida loca).

Music is the friend when you are alone, that connection to the divine, breakfast, puts you to bed, gets you dancing like its the end of the world, and of course, the love note.

Yes, I love poetry, chocolates, les fleurs, bling ,and even a phone call, but the thing that really reaches the depths of my soul is Music. 'Say it, show it, prove it....' ,put it in a song, to woo me, talk to me, make peace with me, make me dance, inspire me....yes, a song.

I am probably a combination of a jukebox and  iTunes. And you can tell a person's personality from their taste in music. I am kind of a 'music schizophrenic', but it only shows that I am a well balanced individual, and of course I have a great taste in music.*wink*

Let us all have a beautiful love affair with the one thing that hits you hard, but it wont hurt. It gives you a feeling....that you never felt before.

My good morning,(Smile-Kirk Franklin); inspiration,(Hero-Mariah Carey); conscious song,(Redemption song-Bob Marley); going to bed, (Bed-J Holiday, obvious); relationship ,(Make it work-Ne-yo); and the day when I say 'I do', my wedding song will be..... the song that I would have written.

Actually, my wedding songs are:

For You - Kenny Latimore

You - Jesse Powell

Fall Again - Glenn Lewis

Soulmates - Bethany Pasinawako

And going a bit upbeat, Since I've Been Loving You by Morgan Heritage on the 'Heavenly Riddim',

My point of view is the view of the world that I live in...my world. My world is filled with the sounds of music.

So yes, put it in a love song, or any other song.

P.S: Always write your own love story.(Well in this case, your own song)

Ciao!

Baa baa Black Sheep

‘Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full One for the master, One for the dame, One for the little boy who lives down the lane.”-Baa baa Black Sheep, Nursery Rhyme Oh how I loved nursery school! Learning was so much fun and colourful as the teachers taught using music, visuals and lots of play and let’s not forget nap time! Gosh! (I stare into a blank space with so much nostalgia). Hmm, question! Is there more to life than trying to constantly fit into other people’s moulds? Are my imperfections so great that those around are blinded to the planks to the planks in their own eyes? Or maybe I am just not appropriately in the right place? At one point or another, we all have faced identity issues, or have suffered from the ‘I don’t fit in’ syndrome. The worst time is the puberty-adolescent period. As an individual, one tries to live up to expectations from parents, teachers, peers and society at large. During that same period, an ...

The Writings On The Wall

Thou shall move onto the next! And then 'If You Leave' by Destiny's Child and Next starts to play. Gosh, 'The Writings on the Wall' remains my favourite Destiny's Child album, ever. The concept of the '10 commandments' of relationships. Brilliant!  Bonjour, mes amies! Comment ça va? Ça va bien!  (Caribbean accent) Your gyal ,  moi , has been experiencing epiphanies. And a few disappointments, but life is too sweet to be upset. Lick your ice cream and have sweet red wine! I travelled through the blogosphere for inspiration for our topic today. Ironically, I also had a discussion with an acquaintance about a similar topic. There's nothing that I love more than people who brag about their intelligence. Oh, my! People pride themselves on their levels of education, often equating it to intelligence. We assess our value based on having degrees, master's degrees, and doctorates. If only those worked in relationships. I think of David Robson's '...

Ask Me, Not Them!

Getting to know someone is an intentional action that requires up-close and personal interaction! Interact tete-a-tete ! Bonjour mes amies! Comment allez-vous? Je suis comme çi, comme ça! So, I've been getting my domestication on. Cooking. Cleaning. Laundry. Sewing on buttons and seams. God, I love the scent of bleached floor tiles, and an aerosol with a good fragrance. Non-allergic though. Gather around ladies, bring your wine glasses with you. Sidenote, I need to action adding more bin bags and cushions for our conversations. So, I'm not sure what wavelength that I'm currently particularly on, but I've been told that of late that I'm slightly intense in our conversations. C'mon, moi , a whole me (Yvonne Orji voice), intense? Laughs. Don't worry, the fermented grapes will mellow my demeanour. You do know that this  becoming  journey is serious business. It's a literal self therapy process that includes introspect, lots of unpacking and unlearning. It...

Single Ladies: Good Enough

‘I just want you to look at me, to see if I can be worth your love, I just want you to look at me and see that I can be, good enough…’-Good Enough, Jussie Smollett, Empire season 1 Good song I must say, very soulful, lyrically profound and of course produced by one of the best producers of our time and a favourite of mine, Timbaland. So what does this song have to do with the single ladies series especially looking at the context of the song from the FOX hit series? Well, before I begin, I wave to greet all my fellow single ladies who have been following my trail of thought as well as the journey of a single woman to get one of the most important and at times fulfilling parts of humanity-a committed relationship sealed by the institution called ‘marriage’. Don’t even look at me like that; yes this subject is very much in mind and considering how it often pops up in most of my conversations with both single women-and men. Well, being an individual who has experienced a very rough ...
