Dwele's CD is off the hook. I love this man (he came to the office Tuesday to meet with us!). There's one song that just... ugh! Can you say On REPEAT?! The way that he sings it... so soft... so smooth... And I love how he throws a little piece of Common's "The Light" back into the mix. Just stupidly beautiful.
I see you
in a lonley place
How can you be so blind?
You're still regretting the love you left
left behind
Oh Darling
I see you go through your changes
sitting alone each night
Are you expecting to find a love
love that's right?
Well darlin open your eyes
and let me show you the light
Girl, you'll never find a love that's right
But darling open your eyes
and let me show you the light
Oh you'll think you're so wise
so wise
There are times
when you need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass
pass me by
There is a light that shines
special for you and me
You need to look at the other side
You'll agree
Well darling open your eyes
and let me show you the light
Girl, you'll never find a love that's right
But darling open your eyes
and let me show you the light
"Open Your Eyes" by Dwele

I am SO loving his CD... Every single track. I can't get enough!
Once again. I love your job. I would work there without PAY!
ON REPEAT!
I loooove, love, love that track in particular by Dwele and I found it pretty inspirational. I'm certainly not in a position where I am missing out on anyone in particular, but I definitely had up a Berlin wall for a long time.
Dating sucks, you find someone who SEEMS half way decent only for them to act a d@mn ass several months later, and bam you're back at square one. It's a vicious cycle and it's hard to stay optimistic and open going through that.
BUT...the thing I love about the song is (and it may seem corny) is how it is a flip on Common's "The Light". I know Dwele refers specifically to "light that shines special for you and me"...but the way I interpret it is that there is a light within me that I have to let people see in order to find that special someone. So...I've definitely made progress in that area and even though it doesn't make dating suck any less, it makes me feel just a little bit better about being willing to let my light shine. I can't help how retarded some/many of these dudes are, but I can help how I carry myself and my attitude.
I love that Reecie. The light within... They always say that you attract what you put out... I'll definitely hear this song a little different the next time I hear it. Thanks for that lady.
