Why I Write ...

Purely as a form of expression to the emotions that run riot in my life at different junctures. This blog has seen several title revisions that also reflect the state of being and evolution I am constantly in. If one were to remain stagnant in hope of never changing their temporal present, one will awaken someday to much regret. Life is about living, evolving and adapting to the constant changes all around us.

My spot on the web is essentially a journey along with my monologue ramblings of my coherent mind accompanied by the incoherent thing called life. Read me if you like ... if you don't it is not the end of the world. I am at the very least a believer in humility lifts us further than pride.

Happy trails

Sometimes When We Touch ... Dec 05, 2008

This song is often a request of many newly marrieds. I know I have sung it once or twice in the past when my siblings, a few friends and I were 'wedding singers'. Dan Hill does an awesome rendition and every time Ihear this song I know I get goosebumps.

I suppose I did imagine this to always be part of my love songs repertoire for the man in my life. There's a certain blunt honesty about this song, and I think people truly in love can immediately feel the meanings reverberate within their souls.

Lately I've had this song playing in my head often and I tend to find myself sub-consciously singing over the blasting radio as I drive to work. And I am wondering if it relates to a certain emotion and is it because of a certain someone from my past my present my future ... it's a rather hard place to be. But I know that all things must come to pass and then the road lies wide open up ahead with opportunities abound ... Perhaps I might sing this song someday for the one I've looked for all my life ...

I am sure this song brings back loads of memories to anyone above 35 :)

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides


Rain Of Your Parade ... Dec 05, 2008

I seem to be on a song mode lately. And I think most of the songs are reflective of the emotions I am going through. This song appeals to me as I prepare for the showdown on the 10th of Dec ... which to me is a turning point to my last 6 years.

You might be on parade now all in pomp and glory my dear, but someday it will rain on your parade, I might be there to see it or I might not be there but to me life's only going to get better for me, because I am choosing to make it so.

Happy Weekend all .... here's Duffy's latest number which kinda sorta says what I want to say .... enjoy!
