Ooh baby, anytime my world gets crazy
All I have to do, to calm it
Is just think of you’Cause when I think of you, baby
Nothin’ else seems to matter
‘Cause when I think of you, baby
All I think about is our loveI just get more attached to you when
You hold me in your arms, and squeeze me

(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “I Still Love You” by 702

February 8, 2014 by

This is such an underrated song! It’s a true gem from a girl group that I loved and it might possibly be one of my fav songs from them. Enjoy!

Lyrics
See everybody needs someone by their side
And I can’t go on without you another night
Since companionships been gone
My life has been so slow without you, you
See it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I love you
And it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me
Can change the world some day
Then you believe me when I say[Chorus:]
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided[Verse 2:]
So what do you think
Lets get back together, lets get back together
It’s nothing it could hurt, it could only get better
Think of what it lacks feel like
You and I didn’t turn our nice into forever
See, see it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I love you
And it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me
Can change the world some day
Then you believe me when I say[Chorus:]
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided

[Verse 3:]
Never to not be so happy and sure of myself
Baby life without you is so dark, so dark, so dark
Now I know it will never be me loving someone else
This precious love your my shining star
I remember when we first fell in love
I was too young to know what it was
I couldn’t address what made melt
But quick to tell you how it felt
That love is so real and it still is

[Chorus:]
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you

[Bridge:]
Just think of the things we planned to do, me and you
Life changing the face of those and that we once knew
So when it’s the sun the shine the oceans are blue
And that we can laugh and cry and that through

(New Music Post) Love Song of the Day – “What You Won’t Do For Love” by Bobby Caldwell

February 5, 2014 by

It’s the month of love and I’m excited about it!

February is a good time to celebrate a lot of things, Black History , Women’s Empowerment and most importantly LOVE . Since I’m a music head I’m celebrating the month of love with music because some of the best songs are love songs! Today I’m posting a classic from Bobby Caldwell, “What You Won’t Do For Love”, enjoy!

 

Lyrics

I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I’m in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won’t do, do for love
You’ve tried everything but you don’t give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do

But then I only want the best it’s true
They can’t believe the things I do for you
What you won’t do, do for love
You’ve tried everything but you don’t give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do

(New Post) Song of the day – “Be Your Girl” by @TeedraMoses #tgif

October 11, 2013 by

I’m working on a new album right now and most of my musical inspiration has been coming from the good ol’ late 90’s early 2000’s R&B and hip hop era.

Beautiful melodies and music that made you naturally want to groove! I love that time and the music that came with it because it was feel good and had a sense of positivity!

In my research/inspiration mode I get to listen to some of my favorite singers like Ms. Teedra Moses! She’s the baddest! I went to one of her shows in LA a few years ago and the place was packed with nothing but strong, intelligent women who were all in conversations about how much they loved her while waiting for her to hit the stage, the vibe in the room was great! When she finally came out she was the epitome of class and what an actual diva-veteran-star should look and sound like, I was blown away! She probably did an hour set and didn’t take a single sip of water and her voice sounded better and more powerful then on her recordings, it was some of the best singing I’ve ever heard! So in honor of my love for solid r&b and great voices, my Friday Jam is “Be Your Girl” – By Teedra Moses! Enjoy and Happy Friday! xo

(New Video Post) What is your creative outlet?

September 13, 2013 by

What is your creative outlet? Last year I was in a terrible place and feeling very lost in my creative life. One day I had a really strong urge to paint, I felt like I needed to do something to feel creative again. Painting really helped me to feel creative again, to relax and to just start to enjoy being an artist and not worry about it! I think it’s very important to have a creative outlet and take the pressure off. What is yours?

Dealing with Betrayal…Am I able to get over it?

March 28, 2013 by

Of lately the word “betrayal” has been floating around in my head, I know that might sound really weird but that’s how my brain works. The idea was first sparked from watching the last episode of Scandal (which if you haven’t watched you REALLY should). In that episode one of the characters is having a very hard time dealing with betrayal and even though the person that has betrayed him has apologized and is trying  to make it better he just can’t get past it. Something about that moment struck a big chord with me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The more I let the word bounce around in my head the more and more sad I became. This week I’ve been feeling a bit like an emotional wreck and I can’t understand why so what have decided to do? Come to my blog and talk about it of course.

I have a few people in my life who I associate with the word “betrayal”. First I want to talk about just the word alone though, the definition says “to be false or disloyal” but the interesting thing is that we all have different levels of what we consider “betrayal” or being “disloyal” and that usually is where the problem lies. How my actions effects each person in my life is completely different which is why it is very easy to not understand why or how you’ve hurt someone or how they’ve hurt you. The people who have betrayed me if they were to be asked what they think they’ve done or if anything at all, their answer more than likely wouldn’t be the same as mine. But the thing I’m struggling with is how to get over the feeling of betrayal or do you ever?

When a relationship of any kind goes through a traumatic experience and there’s hurt and loss of trust, pain and weariness which ultimately leads to one or both parties feeling betrayed, what can you do to mend that feeling for yourself? I have a very hard time being fake, people think because I’m an actress I can just plaster on a smile and give hugs anytime of the day but that’s not true. If I’m uncomfortable and if I don’t feel safe there’s no faking it. I can’t hide how I feel and it will show in everything I do. I’m that person who’s acting really quiet all of a sudden and I need to leave early, that type of uncomfortable. 

But I’ve been asking myself, why do I still have that feeling of betrayal? Why can’t I shake it? I think it’s because I stopped feeling safe. I think that’s what the simple definition of “betrayal” is, the loss of safety. Your secrets, your truths, your jokes, your ideas, your heart, your love, your vulnerability no longer feels safe in the arms of this person. Even when you try to mend the wounds, try to turn a new page and start a new chapter you can’t because you’re different. You’re eyes are open in a way that isn’t good for the relationship, they’re open wider but your walls are higher the lock on the door is tighter and you don’t want to change it.

I’m struggling with the feeling of betrayal because I feel betrayed by people I loved and felt safe with and now I don’t. Will I get over it? Only time will tell but I think thats the only “cure” for betrayal; time. Taking time away, moving on and letting go of the feelings that still hurt you.  So tell me, have you dealt with betrayal? Did you get over it? How?
