Love songs

So I was watching Robin Thicke's "lost without you" video today, and I decided to share one of my wants with you guys.

Before I tell you what it is, I wanna say that a few months ago I spent time talking to the wife of an R+B singer songwriter (which one isn't important) and I absolutely love her. When I hear some of his songs on the radio, knowing that he wrote some of them and continues to write songs, I wonder if he's thinking specifically about her. Of course I imagine he is, and the fact that she's so cool makes it easier. And it also makes me SO JEALOUS!

You guys, I want a song.

I didn't realize this was true until my friend (another friend) had a song written about her by her best friend. They weren't even dating! He was apparently inspired by a sermon they listened to together about purity. How sweet is that? Ugh. HATE! K, I love you, but I hate you!

I know a lot of burgeoning musicians. And a few tend to write songs about their loves. I ask Kesi when he's gonna write a song about me... I know it can't be rushed but I'm so antsy! I'm jealous. I think he made an instrumental for me, but he never actually said its for me. And he's written poems for me (shut up, he's a very good writer and I write poems to him too), but now that he's a musician about himself, I want to be among the ranks of Katy Perry (cupid's chokehold), even though her boyfriend is kinda ratty, and all the others I mentioned.

So... Get with it baby! :)

LOL...you are too cute.

I did not laugh at K writing you poetry. I don't exactly like reading poetry, but I think it's different when your mate writes poetry for you.

And of course knowing which r&b singer songwriter is important!

Lmao @ get with it baby! Oh the pressure K must be feeling right now.

Not all songs for people are fantastic... *sigh*

Rashan Jamal said...

I haven't had a song written for me, but I had a (majority of a) poetry book written for me. It's not as fun as it sounds. LOL

Diva- thanks. Poetry is how we really got close. I will say that the artist was in a group, and now he's solo. And he lives in Atlanta.

Adei- ooh I forgot about that one. That song embodies so much of what I think love is. Even down to the melody. Too bad they broke up.... Ha what was the phrase? Love it!

Jam- yeah my name is in enough songs. Maybe if it was just 1 or 2? Or if I KNEW it was just for me. A shoe? The Jameil- comfortable, stylish, and worth the price. Just like her!

La- I know dear. There's actually another song I heard like 2x. I'm sure it created dramz.

Rashan- *said in a sassy tone* whuuut? A good chunk of book about you? Is this why you hate poetry? Lmao.

So...Wise...Sista said...

OOh an instrumental? thats dope! I had a short story turned novel written for me. It blowed.

Brittni said...

I totally feel you girl...it seems like when a song is written especially for you, it makes it 100times better than any other song, lol.

Dayummit! I want a song too *sigh*

GreatWhyte said...

Yeah, so I've never had no pieces or parts of anything written about me... Unless you count the bathroom wall at... Well, you know :)
How about I saw Katy Perry on the Young and the Restless and had NO IDEA that she was a real singer! Cool...

the joy said...

Wise- yeah I like it. Its hot a sample from "whatever you want" by tone Toni Tony. A novel? And it sucks? Lmao.

Brittni- infinitely better. You sound like you got one written about you... He read this post so ima cross my fingers.

Mo- did I awaken something in you? My buss.

X- lol bathroom stalls count! Its all a testament to your greatness, I guess? oh yes, and I love her so right now. Did she sing "I kissed a girl" on daytime TV? I need to catch my mom's response to that, lmao.

GreatWhyte said...

No- she was the cover model for Nick's magazine "Restless Style." She didn't sing, so I never realized she was a real celebrity. I just figured they'd made her up like "Danny Romalotti" the international pop star! Lol
