Last weekend I was watching the clips of american idol I missed. My top picks of the 60's selection, were "Rescue me" sung by a pretty blonde, "Happy together" sung by another, happier blonde, and yes you guessed it, "I love you more today than yesterday" sung by another blonde who looks like Carrie Underwood. Those three songs made me remember her again.
It was always about music.
"The making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do's and don'ts. First of all you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing." When Rob Gordon said there is no better way to say i love you than to make a mix tape, he was right on point. I never made a mix tape for anyone. Not until Adrianna. It wasn't like a simple mix tape at all, it was like a symphony. Everything that I wanted to sing to her at the moment that i was so in love and was proposing, I put in a little i-pod and gave it to her. Maybe it was 100 songs altogether. And every little lyric hit her heart and sank in. That's the power of a good tune. It can make you feel happy, it can make you soar.
Celebrating that feeling, after I heard those 3 songs, I called her up. It was a happy hour once again, hearing her giddy, sweet voice at the other side of the line, trying to recap all the good stuff that happened in such short sentences. It felt unbelivably good.
When you think of it, you can only sing that song to the "one". Come on, can you imagine who you would sing that too? Just a survey.
When i hear that song everything inside me is filled with the good feeling that is Adrianna, my heart shoots up and soars, and am floating on air. It makes me want to bring a whole orchestra outside the building where she works, and when she comes out-- there would be me, singing at the top of my lungs "now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more, cause you make me feel, you make me feel like a natural woman".
Wow. So what's really keeping me from driving my car all the way there, and completely make a fool of myself by doing exactly that?
Nothing much really. Nothing much.
Perhaps in this life we're lucky enough that we get to meet that "boombox over your head" person. I get that, I totally get that.
