Muzak...

I had a fun chat with one of TGP's buddies about how music reminds us of people and moments in our lives....bringing it back to what some know to be true - "Music charms the soul."

It’s always there to share our joy & pain and comfort us when we need it….

One of my favorite Goo Goo Dolls lyrics is “Scars are souvenirs you never lose...the past is never far...” (unless you work at it)


So on this bright and sunny day, I stumbled upon “Hey Girl” by O.A.R.

It was like re-connecting with an old friend - music that I forgot that I had...

And in a roundabout way, it ties into what I have been up to in the past few months…trying new things without too much of the knee jerk reaction to be scared, over-think and worry....

I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,
I like to read - she likes to write,
She likes to sleep - and I like to stay up all night,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
But that's okay cause that the way she likes to be

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go

Well we went out late that night and we danced through the night
I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight, she was
But she didn't care, I didn't mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
But thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

I say
Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go-oh,
Just let yourself go

Hush little baby, don’t say a word
I would like to give you everything that you deserve
I’ll give you my heart. I’ll give you all my soul
You can have all my money, If you like you can control
In my mind, I miss you every night that you’re not here
Oh I just want to sit around your life and breath your air
And if I can not have you, I just don’t want to live
Oh I got so much, I would like to give

Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go-oh,
Just let yourself go, go, go-oh,
Just let yourself go, go, go-oh...
Let yourself go

Hey girl, but baby it all here just let yourself go
Hey girl, but baby, but darling let your self go
Hey girl, but baby but darling I need to know
Hey girl, but my sweetie, but my lovely, I’d love to let you go
Hey girl, but I’m coming back for you and I’m looking to you girl
