Lady. . .

You're my lady
You're my lady
You're my lady
You're my lady

It's been a while since I have been someone's lady. What even is dating these days? The best relationships for women are when they are treated like the ladies or queens that they deserve to be, It isn't hard to be treated with respect and consideration. But sadly manners are not as commonplace as they once were, or we wouldn't need to remind people about them, if they realised how rude they were being. But what is being rude these days? There are too many distractions with technology, other distractions that don't rely on feelings or human interactions, but instead getting lost in your own fantasy world experienced by one. Is this where you will meet your lady?

Don't think I don't see them looking at ya
All of them wishing they could have ya
And as a matter of fact, uh
A bunch of them are itchin' for you to scratch 'em
I'm tired of hiding what we feel
I'm tryin' to get with the real
And I'm a-gonna make it known
Cos I want them to know

There is a healthy difference where someone wants it to be known that you are their lady and someone who doesn't. The relationship that exists between you both, may on the surface not look like anything to anybody, and why should it be? What if someone wants to make your relationship known and you don't? Those are some issues to address when you get a chance. We can never really tell how people will be towards you, unless they say so, or show you in some clear way exactly what they mean, Would you let people scratch who are itchin' to? I guess it comes down to some type of confidence, when people can say or show you what they want from you.


You're my little baby, my darling baby
I swear you're the talk of the town
And everybody wants to know what's going on
Babe I know they've seen us before
Maybe at the liquor store, or maybe at the health food stand
They don't know that I'm your man

I have always loved this song. Something about the groove and its easygoing vibe that has always made this track an rnb classic for me. You might not even realise that people are starting to take more notice of you and starting to take notice of the things that you do. If you are starting to go through a physical transformation, it will be something that you are learning to get through yourself, let alone having to deal with other people's perceptions of what you must be going through. A man who wants you to be their lady would (hypothetically speaking) be in tune with your needs, and even anticipate what you needed without having to ask. When will you no longer be afraid to reveal who your man is?

I can tell they're looking at us 
I pick you up everyday from your job
And every guy in the parking lot wants to rob me of my girl
And my heart and soul, and everybody wants to treat me so cold
But I know I love you and you love me 
There's no other love for you or me
You're my lady

If your heart and soul is going to be stolen easily by some cats in a parking lot, then you don't really love your man. And it's no wonder that you've chosen not to outwardly tell people who he is. That's more about you and your insecurities about him not fitting into your world, or him thinking he couldn't even deign to try fitting into yours. What even is that fit about? That's about other people and their projections on you and what they think and feel. If your mutual love is solid and has stood multiple tests, or you were there when nobody else was - you're the real MVP - whether the wider public knows it or not. 

You're my lady
My divine lady
You're my lady
Such a wonderful lady
I can tell they're looking at us

I haven't written a blogpost in so long because I just haven't had the inspiration to write so freely before. So much has been going on (mostly in my head) and trying to make sense of what priorities I have to attend to, has limited my ability to enjoy music as much as I would like to and respond to it accordingly. I don't know what the future holds for me and my heart. At this point, I'm only just realising that I have a heart with a lot of love to give, but I don't want to waste it on people who cause my heart pain. That's fair enough isn't it? I have yet to meet a man who has the right to say to me, you're my lady. . .

To be loved by you. . .

To be loved by you is like a breeze Like the summer rain falling through the trees Like the waves that's crashing on the seas, it's easy To be loved by you is like a song Playing in your head you can dance along Like running away with the dawn, it's easy Like flowers bloom, Like my love for you It's been a long time between blog posts. So much has happened since I last reflected about life around me through music. If you have read my blog posts before, then you would know that you are meant to play the YouTube clip (see below) while you read.  I stumbled across this new song that was released today. It's Anzac Day in Aotearoa New Zealand so it's also an opportune time to reflect on the service of our countrymen for peace in previous wars. There is something oddly familiar and comforting about this melody, this song. The whole vibe drew me in and I've always been a huge Emily King fan. Are you currently with someone who helps you feel this way? What is it lik...

Masterpiece (Mona Lisa). . .

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...
