Song Of The Day: David Guetta feat. Makeba If We Ever

I've been though it all in my love life and I'm sure I can't deal with anymore bullshit, my heart can only take some much. When I love, I give what is undoubtedly too much of myself, I love hard. I've made many terrible decisions and dealt with so much shit all in the name of "love". I'm scarred for life because of some of the experiences I've had, and vowed never to love again. I'm afraid of someone taking advantage of my open heart and destroying what has taken so long to heal. I can, now, go without dealing with pains from old wounds, and even though it still hurts, I'm better and stronger each day.

A few days ago I was given this song to listen to and I almost cried, (yeah, I'm very emotional like that) because the words touched me. Just when I thought I've heard the song to describe what I feel, something else comes along. The very 1st part of this song had my eyes full of tears.
I've been fragile for a long time
A big ol' hole inside my heart
And I was searching through the valley
Stumbled on love in the dark


Was afraid to try, but afraid to never know
What it feels like to be loved
Had a hill to climb
But the places we could go
Oh, I gotta know

I've found myself falling again, somehow. I kinda know how, but then again, I don't.  I'm afraid of love but I'm also afraid if I don't take a chance on what I'm feeling, I could loose out on something that could be wonderful. Anyway, enough of my #emo spill. Here's the song, listen, enjoy.

Song of the Day: Alicia Keys f. Drake I'm Ready

This song describes everything I am currently feeling. I have been jamming to the Alicia Key’s new cd, The Element of Freedom for a minute now and I have always loved this song. She was coming straight from the heart with this one, the lyrics are beautiful and she sings it with so much passion. Just recently this song has begun to mean something more to me.

After looking into it, comes to find out Drake wrote it. *Blankstare* Does he really have this much talent? Sure does seem like it. That song makes [you] feel like he looked into [your] heart and wrote what he saw, not to mention A.Key’s sings it like she’s singing from [your] heart as well.


I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful….

This is my personal favorite part of the song. I’m stuck right there and I want to know the answer. I think I know, but I want to be sure. I’m not one for being in love with love, I’ve seen it, think I have lived it a couple times, but I don’t plan on living it anymore. I want something real and true for a change.


Statuses are going up everywhere; lovers are quoting the song with one simple line. Every lovers question maybe different, but …the answer seems to be the same.... “If you ask me I’m Ready”

Song Of The Day: Natasha Bedingfield Unwritten

This song has such a postive message that lets anyone know that if there is something you want in life, YOU have to make it happen.

Song Of The Day: Katy Perry Hot & Cold


You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you change your mind like a girl I would know
And you always think, always speak cryptically
I should know that you're no good for me
 
I have been dealing with the hot and cold syndrome with this chick for the longest! I never know what I am going to get day to day with her. I have to approach the first encounter with her with caution everytime. It makes no sense and I understand some of her madness but at times Im like WTF is wrong with you? I have been thinking of how bipolar she is recently and today on the way to work this song came on the chorus is all that is need to sum things up.
 
'Cause you're hot and you're cold You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up We hug, we make up

So here she is, I love Katy Perry! Enjoy!

Song Of The Day: Superwoman Alicia Keys

This morning I was having a conversation that lead me to Superwoman. We all know the many scenario's that we as woman have to put that S on our chest. We do it daily and we have been doing it for years. I'm not male bashing cause I'm not that kind of lady, but I will say; we can do it, with or without you. The choice is yours. As women and mothers we fight for whats best for our children and we fight to give the best of the best. Its sad to say that our men fall short of helping us meet this goal of the best.

Everywhere I'm turning Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow state of humanity
I wear it on my shoulders, Gotta find the strength in me


I grew up in a single parent home, well for the most part. Dad disappeared at 9 and my mother raised me and my brother solo. I love my mom she was my first example of Superwoman, she did everything she could for me and my brother not once did we go without. She has always worked 2 jobs my whole life to support me and my brother and for that I love and respect her. I myself am "daddy" to my little girl. I am the only daddy she has every known and the only one she will know. I stepped up to the plate when she was 3 and became that "father" figure in her life. No I'm not a man but she knows (as a father would) I take care of business.


Cause I am a Superwoman
 Yes I am Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess; I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes I'm a Superwoman

 So to all the Superwomen out there this is to you! We gone make it do what it do!

My Music: Song of the Day Kenny Lattimore For You

The Wedding Song
Today watching the music channel this song came on. Instantly I had flashbacks of weddings that I have attended. Its classic and such a beautiful song I see why people love having it played at their weddings. Finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with standing in front of the alter all starry eyed. I assume its a magical moment. 

For you I'd make a promise of fidelity, now and for eternity
No one could replace this vow
For you I'd take your hand and heart and everything and add to them a
wedding ring
'Cause this life is no good alone, since we've become one you're all I know
And if this feeling should leave I'd die and here's why
All I am is for you

Barf!!!!  I believe in love but this song just keeps me in a fairytale... The verse above, hmmm really? "For you I'd make a promise of fidelity..." That line alone is, is... *something*. Maybe I'm just being bitter cause I haven't been so lucky in love but most marriages end in divorce anyway. I will tell you that the divorce rate is down though....guess why? Because of the recession! People have no choice but to stay together in loveless marriages. I would go quote stats but we all know its true. 


By all means, enjoy the song though, it is beautiful......

My Music: Songs of the Day Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love & Better In Time

My Emo side is coming out with these songs....Who am I kidding? LOL My Emo self shows throughout this blog!! Anyway, I love Leona Lewis' two songs Bleeding Love and Better In Time.

Bleeding Love
When I first heard this song it helped me through one of the darkest and toughest times I was going through with my girlfriend at the time. Everything she said in this song was exactly how I was feeling. The video was on point too just in general. I love to watch it to this day. To have truly loved and lost really does feeling like you are bleeding from deep within. My favorite part in the song is below This is how i felt at the time, love at all cost. 
I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you



They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing


You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love







Better In Time
Listening to 93.3 Kiss lately and they play this song alot. Once again I love this song, its what I have been dealing with lately. Learning to let go of the past and move on to a brighter future. Things have been hard but learning from my mistakes. Time is doing its healing job but it takes just that: TIME. My favorite part of this song is all of it. If I had to chose though this would be it


Since there's no more you and me



It's time I let you go so I can be free



And live my life how it should be 
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

My Music: Song of the Day Khandi Dont Think Im Not

Why do people always think they are getting over when cheating? Most of the time if you are stepping out, its a pretty fair assumption that your mate is too. Some people step out because they're not satisfied in the bed, or just because they feel like they can get away with it. I believe that some truly forget that two can play that game is not just the title of a movie. I was going through my itunes library and I ran across Kandi's (former Xscape member, current Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member) Don't Think I'm Not.
My favorite part in the song:
When you're feeling good in somebody's spot, getting hot, don't stop Just don't think I'm not, cause I'm out getting mine
Something to think about next time you feel like cheating. Johnnie Taylor said it best, "Who's making love to your old lady, while you were out making love?"

My Music:Song Of The Day Heather Headley In My Mind

I was watching re-runs of The Game on BET. The Sabers were away at the championship game, Derwin was injured and couldn't attend. His girl Janay attended the game of course, she couldn't miss out on the glitz and glam of being a Sabers' girlfriend. Melanie and her boyfriend at the time were hosting a Sabers Game Day Party. Derwin was out shopping (on crutches) and Melanie ran out to get some more salsa for the party. They meet in the store for the first time since Melanie chopped her hair off. In the background played In My Mind softly as they talked. The very next scene Melanie is at Derwin's door he opens it and they began kissing passionately In My Mind is playing loud now as they make out.
In my mind, I'll always be his lady.
In my mind, I'll always be his girl.
Melanie and Derwin were both in relationship with other people. Im sure in those moments of that kiss, they felt like they still belonged right there in that place. It didn't take long though for reality to set in when Melanie's cellphone goes off the ringtone for her significant other. It made me think that there are alot of things in our minds but the reality of the situation is totally opposite. We can dream though can't we?

My Music: Song of the Day

When I was about 12 or 13 I went through a country music stage. Something about country music moves me. A lot of the songs tells a story that you can relate to and stir up emotions or feelings from your own personal experiences. My musical song of the day is Deana Carter's Strawberry Wine. First love and loosing your virginity and all... I can't say my first time was like strawberry wine but I was definitely 17.
