I love Jim Kerr's voice. I swear a man who sounded like that could get me to do anything...

I love Björk, she has one song that always stuck in my head during my two and a half year online affair. The song is "I Miss You", to me that is song is about being in an online affair and longing to meet the person. I included a link below to the song on YouTube but not the video. The video has a weird Ren and Stimpy kind of look to it, it seems really not connected to the song at all.
i miss you
but i haven't met you yet
so special
but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgeous
but i haven't met you yet
i remember
but it hasn't happened yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you
i was peaking
but it hasn't happened yet
i haven't been given
my best souvenir
i miss you
but i haven't met you yet
i know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you
i'm so impatient
i can't stand the wait
when will i get my cuddle?
who are you?
i know by now that you'll arrive
by the time i stop waiting
i miss you

I have heard this song a million times but it hit me hard with intense gratitude, relief, and... LOVE today because I have been waiting for "the other shoe to drop" as we hear around here, but my husband has seen sides of me I usually always always always tried to keep hidden from others, thinking I needed to be perfect in order to be loved and he proves to me time and time again that he LOVES ME. Period. He calls me Angel and I finally accept that. I no longer tell him, "I'm no angel." HE sees me as an angel and he's not blind. So, yes, this song is powerful to me today. I am still learning what love is. Real love. Real, Stick By You Love. So -- I can stop trying to sabotage us with my reactions from that place of fear of losing it all.
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

And I just cant resist sharing this one. As a teenager, used to go to this local bar on a friday night, it was music themed and lots of current stuff (George Michael,Duran Duran, Level 42, all that sort of current stuff back then featured alot - I'm showing my age, lol). Well, when the bar closed they always played this. The regulars always knew it was time to hit the road. Well, I have never drunk alcohol and driven, and I was too shy to talk to anyone during the evening. But, being a bit of a rocker, I loved this track. Just had to share it. And what better thing to do then leave the car park with two black lines for about 100 yards. I was a hooligan, lol (secretly I still am)

Once upon a time this song gripped my heart and rendered me to my knees (even though I am not a man and didn't have kids.. lol.. it's just a powerful song and when I am hurting, singing such songs is therapeutic for me). It no longer hits me in that same way because I like where I am in life now, but it's still a hauntingly beautiful, emotionally-charged song, I think, that just captures the pain and heartache of a relationship gone bad.
Angry All the Time:
"Angry All The Time"
Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy
I got to get away
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time
Our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
I remember every time I said I'd never leave
What I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time
Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone sometimes
I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

So much of my big life moments happened with Tim in the background -- (we are going to his concert tonight and I am STOKED!!!)
The night I moved out of my house with my ex to spend five days at the Blue Collar Bellagio (and figure out my next move) these lyrics were blaring as I pulled out of the driveway: "Someday you'll be looking back on your life
at the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights." And it's true, I never did forget that night. I didn't have another man to comfort me in person, though I did have a friend long distance).. I set up my room with mementos that empowered me (pictures of my family, aunts, uncles, grandparents long gone, my dad, also passed) and used that time alone to find my strength to move forward into life. Five days later we decided mutually on divorce. But, yes, that night, never forget it!
Now I have had many moments, nights, days that I also will never forget -- with my husband and even his kids and the grandkids. My life is 100% different and much more meaningful.
Thank god for big moments when we make big moves.
