Music Makes The World Go ARRROUND!

     According to dictionary.com music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. For me my life revolves around music. Music makes the world go around, end of discussion. It’s the way combinations of mystical sounds can soothe you. The way one song can express everything you want to say without you speaking one word. It’s the way as soon as that one song comes on, it can make you reminisce back to the very first time you heard that song.


     Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Hip-Hop, Alternative, Rock, Jazz, Country, Techno, Gospel, New Age, Classical, etc whatever your taste desires, it’s out there. Available for you even when you don’t know you need it. So there’s this one song by the lovely Jasmine Sullivan, it’s called “Holding You Down” If you haven’t heard it do so. This song for some reason takes me back to this guy that has this reoccurring role in my life. I know what you think, how so? Well he’s only reoccurring because I allow him to be quite frankly. But long story short we had a thing, and now this thing that’s been going on forever and a day (4 years) as grown tiresome on me, and I feel like I’m spinning and spinning on this endless merry go round that won’t end. Whew, felt great to get that out! Any who, this song makes me think of him, but in a way it makes me smile too. It makes me FEEL soo warm inside. What can I say I’m weird. But you ever listen to a song that gives you goose bumps? As for this song, it’s not that she sings so powerfully OR the song has some extraordinary meaning, it’s simply that I can relate to whomever made this song, and trust, it helps. So if you are wondering, below I will paste the lyrics of the song, check ‘em out if you like.

"Holding You Down (Goin' In Circles)"

Why cant I find somebody else

When I know

Know that you're doing wrong

Its so hard

Hard to let go

I done went through just about two bags of tissues baby

And you're looking at me like you ain't the issue baby

And though I tried to leave

I cant stop missing you baby

And I keep coming

I keep coming back

I keep going in circles, circles

Round and round

And while you're doing me so wrong

I just keep holding you down

I feel so stupid, foolish
Loving you all this way

But what I can I say

But I wanna go

I wanna go

But I keep coming back

Why I'm so confused for you,

I have no answer boy

When I feel so used by you just like a toy

Its a shame that you don't care enough

To even give me half the love I give to you

I live for you baby

I'm ashamed to say that I'm to blame for how you act

Cuz I keep coming

I keep coming back

I'm going in circles, circles

Round and round

And while you're doing me so wrong

I just keep holding you down

I feel so stupid, foolish

Loving you all this way

But what I can I say

But I wanna go

I wanna go

But I keep coming back

I cant stop... missing you baby

I stay cuz I love you

But I hate that I stay

You know I won't go

Thats why you treat me this way

I want to be happy

Though it hurts me so bad
Don't know what it is that keeps me coming back

Keep going in circles, circles

Round and round

And while you're doing me so wrong

I just keep holding you down

I feel so stupid, foolish

Loving you all this way

But what I can I say

But I wanna go

I wanna go

But I keep coming back
