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. . .

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

Have you ever seen the rain? . . .

Comin' down on a sunny day. . .  Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know it's been comin for some time When it's over so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know shinin' down like water Learning to be prepared for any given event is something that you should be able to do. I've recently discovered this amazing artist named Josh Tatofi.  I think the reason why I love his voice so much is because he sounds like my late husband.  The same smooth vocal line, the effortless way in which he dances along the melody line and does his own background harmonies reminds me so much of Loma's insistence on perfection when it came to singing, as much as he joked around about just singing for fun.  I love the arrangement of the song - it's fresh, easy going and laidback and it's something you can easily bob your head along to in the car or wherever you seem to be travelling to or from. I want to know Have you ever seen the rai...

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...
