This is a song my dad loved. About two months before he died, he had me purchase a bunch of songs off of Itunes and burn him a cd. This was the one song he wanted more than anything. He previously had it and lost it. I didn’t have the best relationship with my dad, but it makes me smile to think of how big his grin became when this song came on and how he sang along. He was actually quite the crooner.
I give you Tyrone Dave “Can I Change My Mind.” RIP dad.
Aww, she didn’t bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry
Or sit around my room and grieve
But y’all, the girl, she fooled me this time
She acted like I was the last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind
As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh, Lord, I just didn’t wanna go
But she didn’t give me no sign
Nothing that would make me change my mind
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
I just wanna change my mind
Oh, I played my games
Many times before
But peoples, let me tell y’all
Oh, I never reached the door
But ooh, the winds howl tonight
I keep lookin’ back but my baby’s not in sight
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
Baby, let me change my mind [Fade]
Despite only hearing that song a couple of times, I just love it. Something about it takes me to a time of carefree feelings, running bare feet through fresh cut blades of grass and side-splitting laughter. Good stuff 🙂
Here’s a little ditty that’s been stuck in my head for days. I’ve only ever heard the song twice, and it’s given me an earworm. It’s bubblegum pop, but I just love the hook.
I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water, If I could tell you what’s next
Make you believe, make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet,
perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water, if i could tell you what’s next,
make you believe, make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the pull of your heart
I can taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God
when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on – HOLD
Singin’ shalala la
Singin’ shalala lala
hwooo
hwooo
hwooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love
(come on get higher, loosen my lips)It’s all wrong
(faith and desire at the swing of your hips)It’s all wrong
(just to pull me down hard and drown me in love)It’s all right
So, come on, get higher
Come on, get higher
‘Cause everything works love
Everything works in your arms
Here is that diabolical Benson, out to get the last word in for the day.

Snaps, You ROCK! : D
Ah, it would be good in a car. Works in Duane Reade, too!
I have heard it before. I think when in the car. It’s OK driving music.
Despite only hearing that song a couple of times, I just love it. Something about it takes me to a time of carefree feelings, running bare feet through fresh cut blades of grass and side-splitting laughter. Good stuff 🙂
Ok…Back by request just for Cobble!
