Shannon’s Perspective:
“But you know that there's nowhere
That I'd rather be, than with you here today”
Full disclosure I am having a little difficulty getting back into the swing of things. We had August and September which was mostly about the kids and then I went to Ohio to see said kids and since getting back I’ve just struggled a bit but I’m gonna try and do better.
Larry mentioned this month’s theme is about being a victim or a villain and in some cases being both. It’s never easy being the someone who gets blindsided and has their heart broken and for me as I’ve grown over the years realizing how much I may have hurt someone else has also not been easy. I always had the best of intentions but the road to hell is paved with good intentions, or so I’ve been told.
This song in particular reminds me of teenage love and all the mistakes that are made when you’re young.
I've always loved this song as just a song playing. I love all the layers and it's just a great song.
But as part of this theme - it just takes me back to being immature in a relationship and all the games that are played.
Hold Me Now
Thompson Twins
I have a picture pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me
And we're laughing, we're loving it all
But look at our life now, all tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears
As we cry until dawn
Oh-oh, hold me now
Whoa, warm my heart
Stay with me - Let loving start - Let loving start
You say I'm a dreamer
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, yeah, go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be
Than with you here today
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-oh
Hold me now
Whoa, warm my heart
Stay with me - Let loving start - Let loving start
Whoa-oh, hold me now
Whoa, warm my heart
Stay with me - Let loving start - Let loving start
Whoa-oh-oh
You ask if I love you
What can I say?
You know that I do
And that this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song
Please, don't cry any more
I'll even ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-oh, hold me now
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Whoa, warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Oh, will you stay with me?)
Let loving start
Let loving start
Whoa-oh, hold me now
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Whoa, warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Oh, will you stay with me?)
Let loving start
Let loving start
Whoa-oh, hold me now
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Whoa, warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Oh, will you stay with me?)
Let loving start
Let loving start
Whoa-oh, hold me now
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Whoa, warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Oh, will you stay with me?)
Let loving start
Let loving start
Whoa-oh, hold me now
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Whoa, warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Oh, will you stay with me?)
Let loving start
Let loving start
