MUSIC.... EVERY GREAT LOVE STORY HAS A SONG

        Have you ever been in your car or just listening to a song on the radio and it instantly takes you back to the very moment you first heard it or the person you were with? Well it happens quite often, i'm ususally in my car on my way to work. And I'll hear Lionel Richie: Three times a lady, and Still. and i'm back in Germany 19 yrs old in love and pregnant. This was the man who opened my eyes to a whole new world of sex. Man when i tell you he taught me some things that we at that time only thought white people did, wrong, wrong, wrong. It's not a white thing it's a pleasing my woman thing, and he did. At that time my whole world was him but having a baby so far away from home and scared i decided to leave the army and the day before i left we all went to the club on base and they played three times a lady that he sang to me that night. It was a very emotional night because i just knew that i would never see him again. To this day despite how the relationship ended that song still brings good memories of my time in germany.
         Heatwave: Always and forever now this is a song that will live on forever, high school do those relationships ever really last? I used to think so, but now i know sometimes you just out grow each other. What i thought was going to be my happily ever after didn't last, but that's another chapter on heartache and heart break. This song has always been associated with that time of my life and someone we'll call A. Off in the service doing whatever young service men do , i'm at home waiting for him to call or write or even come home. Long distance relationships i found out the hard way does not work for me. We both did some things to destroy our relationship, we didn't know how to trust and i know i didn't because i always thought he was seeing other people although he did try to make time for me but it just wasn't enough. So after years of going back and forth both of us marrying other people raising a family, and seeing other people we tried but the distance is still the problem. And then to we are different people, i have changed so much over the past 20 plus years, and music has played a part of it. I have music for new love, old loves, break ups, make up, and inspirational get your mind and your life right music.. Need a song for this phase of my life and i thlnk i found it. Marvin Winans: YOU JUST DON'T WANNA KNOW... is now my favorite song.. check it out, and of course Mary J Blige has pulled many of us women through our drama and made us stronger......... Next time you hear a song on the radio think back to the time when you were happy maybe sad but everything you hear will probably have a memory attached to it.... This is another chapter in my life.........
