To My Girl: Music We LoveMay 22 '01 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line Mix of my memories and feelings, I don't think it can be helpful to anyone, except to my friends who know almost no sensitive side of mine My girlfriend and I broke up in September 2000, it’s been a while now, but every time we hear a tune on the radio that reminds us of each other we rush to tell about it. This article is not for romantic couples having a dinner together, it’s for my girlfriend. Angel of the Morning by Merrilee Ruch & The Turnabouts When it pops out on the radio I’m bursting in tears. That’s it. Period. No other reaction but huge pain inside and no strength to get over it. When it’s played I want to scream out loud “Jesus, Ales, I want you back!” It will always keep the sense of cold nights warmed by my girl. “Just call me angel of the morning, Just touch my cheek before you leave”. When asked how she would re-name me, Ales said “Angel of the Morning”, God, at that time I was way too far from Earth. Angel sung by Stevie Nicks That’s just to keep up that Angel game (: I guess it was me first who called Ales “Angel” and she being a huge Fleetwood Mac fan [especially Stevie Nicks] sang me a tune from “Angel”. Then she called me Angel bunch of times but I think this song is what we need to sing to each other to express what we feel. Silver Springs [live version] by Fleetwood Mac Ok, that’s to keep up Fleetwood Mac game…I told you, she’s a huge FM fan. Probably all these songs are her influence, everything she sang to me or just told to download. Maybe I did not like most of them the first time I heard [I swear I did not!] but I love them so much now more than half a year after loosing her. God knows, I love them…”I begin not love you, turn around, see me running”, is that what we’re coming to? Gee, I hope not. Somebody for Someone by The Corrs Ok, this one is my influence. I found that song one of the most romantic songs ever mostly due to Andrea Corr’s voice that I find absolutely the best in modern pop music. This song is all about love. Probably about “love me, love me, love me” love, but who cares? Is there really somebody for someone and I just let my “somebody” go? Oh man, don’t leave me on that note. Strong Enough by Sheryl Crow [with or without Dixie Chicks or Stevie Nicks] I don’t remember the story behind that one, I don’t remember who first started it, I don’t remember why we were singing it so much, but I remember that this one will be our song always and forever. I remember that feeling when I heard it on the radio back in August and thought, “Wow, they play it over here!” and thought of Ales. This song was connection between us. Funny, but I’m sorry, babe, who was supposed to be “strong enough to be my [your] man?” LoL!!! Vuelve by Ricky Martin Ok, I know that this one is not the best one, and I do know that you hate Ricky Martin but still. This song is about lost love [I believe so, that’s as far as my Spanish goes] and somehow I started liking this song back in September after our break-up. I did not speak a word in Spanish and asked my girl who’s native to that language to translate the song and she did and then said, “Now you left me wondering was that a clue?” And I swear it wasn’t because how was I to know what the song is about if I did not know any Spanish? Now this song is a clue that she still kept something for me after September 14. I know she kept hope for a while and then…I don’t know…Vuelve… 32 Flavors by ANi DiFranco Who taught me to love ANi? She did. Who told me about this song? She did. Who that song reminds me of? Right, of her. Squint your eyes and look closer I’m not between you and your ambition I am a poster girl with no poster I am 32 flavors and then some California Stars by Wilco It’s one of those slow and sad songs I love not for the lyrics but for the feeling that it’s her favorite songs and that she loves it when they come on the radio and that she and she and she… Yellow by Coldplay And this one is loved for the feeling that it reminds her of me. [Why?] Gee, I don’t even know why. Because I love BritPop? Maybe because I was listening to Coldplay all days long once in my life. I love the lyrics, they are kind of true when I feel like writing about Ales I write something “yellow”. However this time it turned out to be blue. Why I wrote all that here? I woke up today with this feeling that I’m going to fail Microeconomics and grabbed the book. After two hours of non-stop reading I thought of a break and turned on the radio. “Angel of the Morning” was on. God, that song is all I need to get a good start on one more blue day.  |
