I always played this song for Anita on our Anniversary.

15 years…never more…never less.

Not Me

In December1999, Anita and I saw a pre-Broadway performance of Aida in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. I believe it was the first time Chicago hosted a pre-Broadway show (which basically means they use the full Broadway cast and sets but do a several week run to iron out the kinks).

Elton John and Tim [...]

She saw inside of us

Greg — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:25:18 +0000

Before I met Anita, I felt like a balloon – shiny and fun on the outside but hollow on the inside. Then I met Anita and she immediately saw inside of me and said, “No, the inside is the best bit.” And I believed her.

Because she believed in me, I believed in myself. I learned [...]

Sunday Morning

The next song on Anita’s Mix is “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5.

Lyrics:

Sunday morning rain is falling Steal some covers share some skin Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable You twist to fit the mold that I am in But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do And I would gladly hit the road get up [...]

Just Like Honey

The third song from Anita’s Mix is “Just Like Honey” by The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Jesus And Mary Chain – Just Like Honey

Here are the lyrics:

Listen to the girl As she takes on half the world Moving up and so alive In her honey dripping beehive Beehive It’s good, so good, it’s so good So good

Walking back to you Is the hardest [...]

Lay Lady Lay

Greg — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:00:52 +0000

I think I will continue this week with the music theme. Yesterday I mentioned that I made a mix for Anita in August 2008, so I wanted to focus on those songs that she carefully chose.

Magnet’s “Lay Lady Lay” featuring Gemma Hayes is a cover of a Bob Dylan song. The video is actually kind [...]

Bittersweet Symphony

Greg — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:48:08 +0000

Have you ever heard this song by The Verve called “Bittersweet Symphony”? Most of you probably. Rolling Stone named it one of the best rock songs of all time. If not, here’s the video:

Here are some of the lyrics:

‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony this life Trying to make ends meet, you’re a slave to the [...]

How would I react?

Greg — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:00:44 +0000

How would I react, I wonder, if You pointed to a basin of water and asked me to wash the calloused feet of a bent and wrinkled old woman, day after day, month after month, in a room where nobody saw and nobody knew?

This was typed on a paper, stuck on the wall directly in [...]

Julia’s Song – Mercy Said No

Greg — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:09:26 +0000

I woke up this morning with the song in my head that Julia sang at the funeral. The song was "Mercy Said No" by CeCe Winans.
