Truth Day 24: Joy..the Love Hippie

24: Make a play list to someone, and explain why I chose all the songs. 

(Just post the titles and artists and letter)

Dear Lover in me,


I blame Kiwi for unleashing our inner love hippie that was just waiting to embrace love, peace and harmony. These songs below express how we now feel about sista/brotha love, romantic love, and just love for mankind. I plan to share this list of songs with our peers allowing them to see our sensitivity. I believe these songs below define love for us on all levels..

"Beautiful Surprise" by India.Arie

being overtaken by blindsided love will always be sublime..

"Make Me a Believer" by Luther Vandross

we all want to believe in love but who will go to the ends of the earth to make you a believer..

"So High" by John Legend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw-6BzTO7Rk

this song represents the moment you realize the man sitting next to you at a friend's wedding is not your true love from this one lyric->

"and we can't get much closer to God than where we are"

"Through the Rain" by Tanya Blount

"Prototype" by Outkast (Andre 3000)

"I think I'm in love...again" 

sidenote: to hear a man sing "I think I'm in love again" is so sexy..PERIOD! 

"These Three Words" by Stevie Wonder

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ7wftWRc7M 

the words seal the deal..it's okay to say it..

"these three words..sweet and simple..these three words..short and kind"
"when was the last time that they heard you say darling or best friend..I love you"
When?

"Anytime You Need a Friend" by Mariah Carey

"The Reason" by Musiq Soulchild

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WJi6W1zRcw 

even though the video beautifully displays President Obama's appreciation for his wife while the song plays, this song will always be my hope. I would hope that my kids will feel every single lyric about me one day. I have big hopes and dreams. Will they see that my love was the reason?

"Love Ultra" by Dwele

"Let Love Rule" by Lenny Kravitz

I will conclude right here. It doesn't matter if others have a different musical taste, we all can know what love is...

Love,

I could never forget this one that displays my love for music and my lover in one..*speechless*

Girl, you came into my life
Just like a new tune on the radio
It was so beautiful even though I never heard it before
On that day when I looked into your eyes
I realized right there that u are the one that I'm searching for
When we spend time I just can't ignore that

Baby u and me we're just so good together
Look at how we harmonize
Girl, we're like the perfect melody that keeps getting better
We can stand the test of time
All we had were letters till we formed the words
Started from the lyrics till we found the verses that can bridge us through
Baby we could be the greatest love song

You truly complement my style
Sorta like a good rhyme done to the right track,
You're so wonderful, these days it's so rare to find something like that
And everybody needs a little bit of inspiration
And baby, you, you're mine
Just like a guitar needs a string, girl I need you love
There's no reason I could ever leave you, cause

Baby u and me we're just so good together
Look at how we harmonize
Girl, we're like the perfect melody that keeps getting better
We can stand the test of time
All we had were letters till we formed the words
Started from the lyrics till we found the verses that can bridge us through
Baby we could be the greatest love song

All my life, I've been waiting for you and now you're here with me
So, don't worry about a thing
Even when we're old and gray, I'll still be loving you

That, baby u and me are just so good together
Look at how we harmonize
Girl, we're like the perfect melody that keeps getting better
We can stand the test of time
All we have are the letters till we form the words
Started from the lyrics till we found the verses that can bridge us through
Baby we could be the greatest love song
