her name was truth.

It's quite cold in here.

And then I realize I have sweatpants here.

But anyway, on to this feeling I have. Quite crazy no? Ohyes.
Before I get into all of that ... I ask ... that you listen to this song.
And vibe. Get in my mood. Listen to the lyrics.

On everything, I'd give up rapping to sing. To BE ABLE to sing. And not sing like Chris Brown or Usher ... but Ben Harper type. Just different, but awesome. Plus, he writes his own lyrics, and that's pretty much why I want to be able to sing. You can express so much more through singing than rapping. That's why I understand why Andre 3000 had that little period where he was just expressing himself through song. It's just so much more ... idk. It does something. Like, I love this:

In your eyes
The light, the heat
I am complete
I see the doorway
to a thousand churches
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat
Yes, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

That's so powerful to me. It just does something. And this song in the background ... makes me FEEL it. The video is nice too. Youtube it. Simple. Yet ... amazing. More so because of it's simplicity.

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

Hrm. Means so much, these two lines. Even when I take them out of the context of the song lol. But yeah ... I feel a lot better tonight. Better that this weight or feeling or whatever has sort of been lifted from me. And I want to yell it from the yahoo servers. LMAO. Okay, I'll stop.

In some post Lizzy was like, "Learn this song.
Sing it to me till I fall asleep and I'll fall hopelessly in love with you. "

My turn.

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after?
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
You'll be free indeed, Indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life, of your life
Is hello, goodbye

Shes only happy in the sun
Shes only happy in the sun

Ben Harper - She's Only Happy In The Sun

You don't even have to learn it. Or sing it to me. Just play it to me when I feel "eh" or "blah" or just randomly maybe ... and I'll treasure and adore you.
