Lets Talk About Love

[Shinnen]

Hi all,

I haven't been here in a long time. Been sorting out my life and getting most of it back on track (which includes growing up).

I was just curious about something (too much thinking when I'm not working), if you could choose a song to represent your current love life (relationship status) what would it be?

I'll start off. My nonexistent love life (relationship status) can be described with a song from The Carpenters (which I'm freakishly obscessed about recently)

Goodbye To Love

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

This is exactly how I feel


At five o'clock she knows I'll soon be home
She don't worry bout me running round
Cause all of my good times are waitin' right there for me
And she knows where I'll be when the sun goes down
I'm a stand by my woman man our world
turns around a little gold band
And love leads us through life hand in hand
I'm a stand by my woman man we fall asleep at
night thinking ain't love grand
That's why I'm a stand by my woman man
When she's down she knows I'll be beside her
Cause I'm not just her lover I'm her friend
Our love keeps gettin' better and I'll gladly spend forever
Standin' by the woman who stands by her man
I'm a stand by my woman man...
I'm a stand by my woman man...

Good to see you back on the board Shinnen
"Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat.

I think we all know the answer to this one...

At Last by Etta James

[Gatito Grande]

Right there with ya, Shinnen.

GG I love that song, too: unlike you---probably---I'm old enough to have it on an (original, purchased year it came out) album. Out

I'm still pining for my (no longer) Secret Crush . . . whom I haven't heard from in, like, a month. I've got to move on, but I have no one to move on to.

...and then I'll still see her picture (she lives half the USA away from me), she's so Drop Dead Beautiful, that I'll just start pining again.

Sigh.

OMG you got first print album of the Carpenters?? I'm born a bit too late but I love Karen Carpenter's voice. Its absolutely amazing. Plus she didn't look half bad when she was normal and not anorexic.

With you on the 'secret crush' there, GG!

And with that (and admittedly somewhat pathetically)...


I Love You by (the newly single) Sarah McLachlan

I have a smile stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The world around disappears
Just you and me on this island of hope
A breathe between is could be miles
Let me surround you my sea to your shore
Let me the calm you seek

Oh and every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot to tell you
I love you

And the night's too long and cold here without you
I grieve in my condition for I cannot find the strength to say I need you so
Oh and everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And the night's too long and cold here without you
