Slow Jams....

Up until 6 years ago I only had one "love of my life". Most of my friends, if asked, could name him, if they knew me well enough. I'm lucky to have another love of my life now...my son.  Lucky. Very lucky. 

The other night Chris asked me what my favorite slow jams were...suddenly thoughts of the 80's and Club Mario's popped in my head and i was....blank....totally blank.  I said...uh uh...top 40??? For real, I don't know.  How sad is that? To not have songs that make you think of someone...or at least getting busy...(ya for real what is that??? I know, I know, but this is where you learn that I've forsworn dating...and am enamored of the triple period...)   

So I got to thinking...and listening to the radio...see here enters the top 40 and the triple periods...and I found a couple that I liked...and started thinking of the loves of my life.  They don't really work for the SIC, he is much too young.  But they do work for the other, and the times I called him after a night out, the morning after, when he came over to my apartment on the weekends, or when I called him after I saw My Best Friends Wedding in the movie theatres for the first time and was shocked to the core because it was the first time it had occurred to me that he might marry someone other than me...it happens. 

Young Love...cute.



Lady Antebellum " Need You Now "

Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can't fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.


It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.


Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.


It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.


I guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.


It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.


I just need you now.


Oh baby I need you now.




"The Only Exception" ~ paramore

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning
when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

You are the only exception. [x4]

You are the only exception. [x4]

And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

No imbedding for this video, but it links up to YouTube...because I like it.
