hello.

Lionel Richie - Hello
When I heard this duet on Glee a couple of weeks ago, I got absolute chills (open above link in new tab). I love it when songs and artists can do that... especially with classics such as Lionel Richie. When they start to harmonize, my heart just starts to melt and hold back the lip syncing. It's definitely on the ipod and as I do with any of the current songs I'm feeling, I over play them until they die lol.

Listening to music is definitely one of my means of escaping the world and my greatest means of catharsis. Whenever I am going through something in my life that pushes me to reflect and think things over, I try to find a song that matches how I'm feeling... I like to call them my "theme songs" (Ya I know, LOSER). But life is so much easier when you find the perfect song that just sings your feelings for you. Its like venting & unwinding on repeat... its so refreshing... cathartic. Its the best when you're just listening to you ipod to relax and take your mind off things and then BAM, the lyrics to the song you're listening to is everything you've been thinking. Awesome.

The lyrics to this song are so sad, I hope it never becomes one of my theme songs. That would suck. 
I've been alone with you inside my mind and in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times. I sometimes see you pass outside my door. Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile. You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide. 'Cause you know just what to say and you know just what to do and I want to tell you so much, I love you ...  I long to see the sunlight in your hair and tell you time and time again how much I care. Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow. Hello, I've just got to let you know,  'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do. Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?  Tell me how to win your heart for I haven't got a clue. But let me start by saying, I love you ... Hello, is it me you're looking for? 'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do. Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart. For I haven't got a clue. But let me start by saying ... I love you.

Dear Love, 
I am not ready for you and I refuse to be a fool for you... So stay away, but come back some other time... But don't take too long becase I wanna get hitched by the time I'm 30. Thanks.

Warmest Regards,
