"Never met a sunshine like this, never seen the moon glow like this, never seen the waterfalls like this, never seen the lights off like this, never dug anyone like this..."
"I can't let my life pass me by, I can get down and try, work it all out this lifetime, lifetime"
"If I can't have you let love set you free to fly your pretty wings around"
"Fortunate to have you, girl, I'm so glad you're in my world, just as sure as the sky is blue, I bless the day that I found you"
"Shouldn't I realize, you're the highest of the high, and if you don't know then I'll say it so don't ever wonder, don't ever wonder..."
Ladies and gentlemen, the man is Maxwell and the music is phenomenal.
This man serenaded me and hundreds of other women last night at a show and of course I'm not just going to throw his lyrics up on my blog without giving the broader free love context.
Evident from the above lyrics, this man's music is the epitome of romance. I'm sure many children were conceived to his tunes. Artists like him, John Legend, John Mayer, Robin Thicke, and countless others, bring music back to its romantic roots and remind us that there was a day and still is a day where male musical artists honor women and romance simultaneously in their melodies. Not only is it good to know that some men are still looking for ladies and not...well, other terms that rappers use that I refuse to put on my lovely blog, but it's also nice to know romance still exists, even if it's in the smallest melodious musical cracks.
Sometimes, I think my generation has given up on romance, myself included. But, don't forget, it doesn't hurt to throw on a contagious sweet beat and rock along with the one you love.
Love freely,
tY
