With that “special” day fast approaching I thought I would kick the festivities off by posting some of my favourite loves songs. Here is one by the beautiful and soulful Amel Larrieux called “For Real”. You might be more familiar with her as the lead singer from Groove Theory who also put out another one of my favourite songs “Tell Me”. Both songs take me to a happy place where love is pure and always feels good. If you have ever experienced love, this is what it should sound, and feel like! Below are the lyrics, take a minute to ingest the realness of what she describes as love.
“For Real”
I can run, I can race for hours and hours
And don’t stop
I can float I can fly us to the highest
Mountain top I can breathe you, I can drink in your laugh
I can… I can live on your smile I can trip and if I can fall into your arms I can
Stay there my whole life
[Chorus]
I can live
I can love
I can be better with you,
For real
I can hear
I can feel
I can see
I can tell
You are for real
I can stare; I can memorize your face, your hands, your hair
Every part of you I can cut off any loose ends and not even wanna keep a few
I can speak to you so honestly I can’t even run any game
I can hear a million angels singing in my ears
When I say your name
[Chorus]
I can’t smile, can’t dream like a child
Can’t feel safe in this wide world without you
I can’t go can’t disturb this flow
Can’t begin to know what I would do
I can’t see, can’t find strength to be
Rather not be me without you
I can’t deal, I can’t even feel, without you I’m not real
[Chorus]
doGood. feelGood. liveGood.
-Team thinkGood.
