Song of the Day: 2

Beautiful (remix) - Black Star & Mary J. Blige

They say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder

so I use my third and now our love is solid like a boulder

wanna build with you as I get older

and that's my word! Sure as I stand on my ancestors' shoulders.

You see through my drama and my world like a stage

Not the same years but living in the same age
It's the quality not the quantity
Follow me? Definitely! Far from probably... Got to be!
You and me beautifully fit like pieces of a man I used to be
Now I'm back! 'cause of what you do to me.
You like my reflection; better half to my whole
Like lyrics to the beat you the mate for my soul
The breath for my life, my sister and my lover
Used to have cold feet now you the warmth under my covers
I can't ignore your aura 'cause it grabbed me by the hand
Like the moon pulled the tide and the tide pulled the sand

   It just amazes me how lovely this verse is to a relationship. If Kweli told me this there would be no doubt in my mind of whether he loves me or not. In my mind, I consider this like hip hop vows. Every time I hear this verse (it's part of one of my favorite songs so I hear it a lot) it just makes me smile because it's like this verse is for THE ONE, that is meant for one over all others. That one that you would give your all to and expect nothing in return.
   I may be getting a little too in depth but it's a verse I really love. "The breath for my life, my sister and my lover" It just goes beyond the new general standard idea of a relationship (even though this isn't a new song). The relationship is more than just intimate it's like he's completed. Like wherever he's lacking she's picking up the slack and she's more than a girl she's his friend, his sister, his life. It's more that just love... it's like his entire being is satisfied to share whatever he has with her, she's welcomed in every aspect of his life.
   I truly love every verse in this song every line all the ad libs but Kweli's first verse stood out to me the most. Maybe because I felt like the words applied/applies to me in more than one way. Not sure but this just makes me smile anyway. Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Mary J. Blige did a wonderful job with "Beautiful." That verse though... that's like Verbal Art. I would hang in the the gallery of my collective thoughts and admire like a memory.

"Sometimes you meet somebody who's just completely..." - Beautiful, Mos Def

When Someone you love is with someone else... Part 2

I understand that you are with someone else. Yeah I want you to be happy but FUCK THAT! They aren’t me! How the fuck you gonna ruin what we had by bringing somebody else into the picture. I feel like you cheated on me and we weren’t even together! I’m really happy for you though but man all that aside I’m pissed! I’m sitting back thinking how could you it’s like I put in all the work and I got nothing for it. I mean… who was there with you through whatever? We laughed together, we cried together, I’m pretty sure you shared with me more than you shared with any other individual as a whole and now what? This is it? Am I just supposed to sit here and be happy because you’re with someone? You’re happy that doesn’t make me happy instantaneously… I still feel salty about that. I felt comfortable with you, you’re my “Ace in the hole” whenever I felt like everybody was the same… you prove they were different. Then you’re just gone like that. Did I just lose my bestfriend? Now what do I do, I can’t be happy over something like that. You do your thing. You must not understand how much I love you if you can’t see the reason behind my madness. You know how that felt, you know how I feel everyday… knowing that you are happy with someone and I’m alone without even you to talk to like I used to. I’m jealous. I’m torn apart. I feel betrayed. I’ll live though. And yeah… I want you to be happy but I’m not happy. Just let it be, you disappoint me but I guess it be like that sometimes. Enjoy.

When some you love is with someone else...

Yeah that hurts the soul… DEEPLY. But you’ll live you know. That’s the bright side kinda. Truth is you probably REALLY love them, so when they end up with someone else, you will wish them the best and keep your feelings to yourself because you want them to be happy. Probably many of times you traced out the details of your life if you were together with them. How everything just clicked, how the arguments meant something, how comfortable you are talking to them about shit from A to Z and back again. Everything just went well then they fucked it up by getting with someone else. Then you’re whole world is shut down. Everything is split in two. You and them versus Them and Their significant other. You feel like you have to compete but the truth is you’re not going anywhere because they won’t let you go. You also want to stay away because you don’t want to fuck up what they have if it makes the one you love happy, you know? Yeah, something like that. So what can you do when the person you love is with someone else? I couldn’t tell you… I’d just sit around wishing shit could happen like it does in the movies but expecting none of that. At least one of us will be happy, I could live with that. Sacrificing your happiness to keep the one you love happy? It be like that sometimes…

Today I fell in love with Miguel.

story? Ummm today I was listening to Let's Just Be... and I was like "hmmm people are really sleeping on Miguel's vocal ability." This guy has the right amount of everything and isn't hiding behind some sex appeal image like a lot of the other R&B singers. I'm glad I bought All I Want Is You GREAT BUY! But anyways... I found out how much I loved him today and I wanted to let everyone know because I don't "love" anybody just because they're cute. -__-
