Medley

"One More Try" - Timmy T, "Lost in Love" - New Edition, "Pretty Brown Eyes" - Mint Condition, Masterpiece - Atlantic Starr, & "Years from Here" - 4PM

I know I've been shortcutting my way through this and by the look of my blog count within the last 6 months, I'm obviously not getting any better. I tried to blame Playlist (though they play a crucial role) and I even tried blaming the fact that I'm too "happy" to blog. Truth is, I'm blowing it off because I'm actually sleeping at night.

Sometimes I find myself falling asleep in front of this computer or thinking about blogging and then falling asleep before I turn it on. So, to keep my promise I would put something up so that I could simply keep this thing going. I checked in at least once every other day, grabbed onto a song, video or both and made sure to date it within 7-days so that I don't let too much time pass from each entry. But I don't want to post just to post and lately reading back, there's more of that than I care to see.

Yes, I did put up quite a few good stories (at least I hope so)... "Someone'll" and "Vintage Red Bicycle" are just a few proud pieces I like to go back to, but with all this rest I've been getting it seems harder for me to commit to writing even more actual stories. I almost put this idea to rest too, but I haven't gotten that delirious yet. I knew I needed another boost. Some kinda kick to get me on my feet and ignore the tired for a bit to blog stronger and more meaningful blogs...at least to finish the stories I was too lazy to tell. Then a week ago (I'm smiling as I write this), without even asking for this inspiration, a "love remix" brought me back. There's just too much music out there to give up now. So, I won't.

Without trying to avoid cliches, this is dedicated to the man behind the music who has surprised me in countless ways. He not only gave me a reason to love again, but he is making me believe that marriage and kids isn't so far from what I truly want. This is HUGE. A solid stance I took a while ago is suddenly changing right before my eyes because I see a man who embraces being ridiculously in love just as much as I do. A man who showed no shame in browsing the aisles at the local Target to pick up feminine things he's never seen before for me. A man that observes me, watches what I like and don't like in order to remember them for later so that he can cater to me. A man that isn't afraid to speak his mind even if it means arguing with me (even though he knows I'm always right), but he won't degrade me. He won't call me names, put me down, and disregard me. He will take the time to hold me, console me, and mold me back into the woman who doesn't hate all men. A man who is patient, considerate and kind and that I know deep down in my bones is the right man for me because he IS a MAN. I'm feeling my guard fall down hard and although I'm still cautiously moving ahead, I know that it's not because I'm afraid of what he'll do to me; to us...but it's to make sure I don't fuck it up.

Lyrics:

"One More Try"

It's been a long time since you left me
I didn't mean to make you cry
I didn't mean to disappoint you,
I didn't mean to tell you lies
And after all that we have been through,
Won't you let me tell you why
One more try...
I didn't know how much I loved you
One more try..
Let me put my arms around you
Living all these lonely nights without you
Hoping babe we can give it, one more try

It's been a long time since I've kissed you
It always used to feel so good
And if you know, how much I missed you
You'd forgive me if you could
And now that we have found each other
Can't we give it one more try (one more try)
One more try...
I didn't know how much I loved you
One more try..
Let me put my arms around you
Living all these lonely nights without you
And after all that we have been through,
Won't you let me tell you why...
And now that we have found each other,
Can't we give it one more try (one more try)
One more try...
I didn't know how much I loved you
One more try..
Let me put my arms around you
Living all these lonely nights without you
Hoping babe we can give it, one more try

Oh girl, you know I love you
I just want you to know, my love I'll always treasure
So please, just don't let me go

"Lost in Love"

Would you love me
When nights are cold
Would you love me
When I grow old
Would you care
Baby it's not easy
Take me by surprise
And say you're there

Would you love me
Give me one more chance
Would you love me
Try and understand
Would you share a life
That is music
Show me in your eyes
That you'll stay with me tonight



I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love,
All my dreams around you
And I'm lost in love
And it's true
I can't live without you
Oh, no

Would you love me
When I'm in doubt
Would you love me
Just to be around
Would you share my
Life that is music
Take me in your arms
And sing my melody

I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love,
All my dreams around you
And I'm lost in love
And it's true
I can't live without you
Oh, no

And I'm lost in love
Say you really want me
Love is a passion
Just can't hide
And I'm lost in love
Time and again and it
Hurts me

You'll be my reason
For starting again, again

I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love
And all my dreams around you
I'm lost in love
I can't live without you
I'm lost in love
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I'm lost in love
Baby I can't live without you

"Pretty Brown Eyes"

Pretty...
Brown...
Eyes...

Pretty brown eyes
You know I see you
It's a disguise the way you treat me
You keep holding on
To your thoughts of rejection
If you're with me you're secured
You keep telling me
That your time is always taken
But I keep seeing you out alone
Listen to love
Your heart is pounding with desire
Waiting to be unleashed

Quit breakin my heart
Breakin my heart
Breakin my heart
Breakin my heart

Don't tell your friends
That I don't mean nothin to ya
Please don't deny the truth
Tell me right now
I know your heart is in the right place
You know I won't let you down ya
You can't disguise
All the pounding of your heart ya
I see your eyes
And you can't hide
Start to make sense
And quit playin these love games
Tell me what you're gonna do ya

Quit breakin my heart
Breakin my heart
Breakin my heart
Breakin my heart

I wanna know one thing
Will you be with me

Here comes my darling
Here comes romance
Here comes my love
And please honey will you dance

Quit breakin my heart
Breakin my heart
Breakin my heart
Breakin my heart

"Masterpiece"

A simple touch of your hand
And everything is right
The gentle way you look at me
When we kiss goodnight
You've given me the freedom no other love has known
And now I thank you girl , thank you girl
The countless ways you've touched my heart
Is more than I can say
The beauty that you've shown to me
takes my breath away
A picture perfect painting, that's what our love is
And yes I need you so, and now I know

ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
a work of art it's true
And I treasure you my love
ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
a work of art it's true
And I treasure you

Sometimes I wonder what I'd be
Had I not found you
A lost and lonely soul this world
could show me nothing new
But now my life's a canvas
painted with your love
And it will always be
And now I see
The two of us together
Through time will never part
This fairy tale we sharing
is real inside our hearts
let it be forever
never let it end
this promise I do make
Heaven is ours to take

ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
a work of art it's true
And I treasure you my love
ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
a work of art it's true
And I treasure you

When I'm lost and insecure
you build me up and make me sure
that everything will turn out right
My love

ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
a work of art it's true
And I treasure you my love
ooooh
I've found a masterpiece in you
a work of art it's true
And I treasure you

(This fairy tale we're sharing
is real inside our hearts
Let it be forever
never let it end)

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.
