Mix

"I Love You" - Faith Evans
"Real Love (mixed version)" - Mary J. Blige

It's Friday and the sun finally decided to break away from the clouds and shine today. I absolutely hate warm weather so the sun and I are far from friends, but for some reason I don't seem to mind it that much. Most people tend to be in brighter moods when they can step outdoors without a sweater so it helps to see them up and about, chattering and making noise to distract me from everything that has been going on in my head, not to mention my heart.

It's not surprising through all the craziness that is my world that I would end up mixing two songs together, unintentionally. I was standing in the kitchen all by lonesome, waiting for my food to heat up when both choruses sprang to mind: Real love, I'm searching for a real love...I love you, I need you... And then I realized, "Wait that's not how it goes!" So I repeated the lines again, quietly giggling to myself, because I sang it in the exact same way!

I know they are completely different, but there's something similar about them so I continued to sing it the way I wanted to because I can! I make my own rules! Little did I know that they are in fact singing about the same thing: Wanting real love from someone who just isn't ready to give it to them... not yet anyway.

Lyrics:

My heart belongs to you
So what could I do
To make you feel I'm down with
You see me hangin around
But you don't know how you make me feel for you, and

Each and every day,
I try to make some sense of this
What you mean to me
I know it could be serious
Each and every night
I dream about just holding you
Wanting you like this
What is a girl supposed to do

I love you (I love you)
I want you (I want you)
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you)
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

First time I saw your face
My heart just erased
All the guys I knew before
You walked into my life
I was the type to never want for nothing

Each and every day, I try to make some sense of this
What you mean to me, I know it could be serious
Each and every night, I dream about just holding you
Wanting you like this, what is a girl supposed to do

I love you (I love you)
I want you (I want you)
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you)
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

I love you, I want you, I need you in my life
Can't you see what you mean to me
Baby come hold me tight
I miss you, wanna kiss you
Everytime I see your face
Baby I'll be waiting for you
Each and everyday

I love you (I need you)
I want you (I want you)
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you)
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me

You're the only one for me
And I know it's meant to be
What can I do to make you see
My love will carry on
So listen to my heart and know
You'll find out where my love will go
The future lies between us boy
Oh babe I love you so

I love you (I love you)
I want you (I want you)
You're the one that I live for
And I can't take it any more
I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you)
What can I do to make you see
You're the only one for me


Lyrics:

We are lovers true and through
and though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize, I really want to put you on
I've been searchin' for someone to satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that I need


Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

Oooh, when I met you I just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspirations
Lead me to want some real love

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

I got to have a real love
Loves so true and oh baby I thought your love was true
I thought you were the answer to the questions in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe I'll find my real love

So I try my best and pray to God
He'll send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me
Towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all in all
I'll give you good lovin' through the summertime,winter, spring, and fall

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

You see I'm searching for a real love
And I don't know where to go
Been around the world and high and low
And still I'll never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cause it seems it's not around
Gotta end it in this way
Because it seems he can't be found

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

Real Love

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
