I've posted before that if I were to have a theme song, it would be Amy Ray's Driver Education. However, long before that song came out, there was another that I've recently been reminded of.  This really has been me through my entire life - especially with a chosen few.  I'm also a sucker for a well written love ballad.

I make friends.
I make enemies.
It doesn't matter all that much to me.
I'm not the kind
Who deals behind the scenes.
I won't sell my soul;
I'd be nothing
Without some integrity.

I wouldn't beg for water.
I wouldn't beg for water.
If my soul was on fire,
That's the last thing I would ever do.
I wouldn't beg for water.
I wouldn't beg for water.
If my soul was on fire,
But I'd get down on my knees
For you.

I've got pride.
It's not the foolish kind.
Don't owe people favors;
That's my piece of mind.
I don't know why
I deserve someone like you,
But you're my one and only sole exception
To all my rules.

I wouldn't beg for water.
I wouldn't beg for water.
If my soul was on fire,
That's the last thing
I would ever do.
I wouldn't beg for water.
I wouldn't beg for water.
If my soul was on fire.
But I'd get down on my knees for you.

Real love is hard to find;
It's holding back the sands of time.
And time can change my life
As much as you.

I wouldn't beg for water.
I wouldn't beg for water.
If my soul was on fire;
You know me well enough to know it's true.
I wouldn't beg for water.
I wouldn't beg
For water.
If my soul was on fire,
But I'd get down on my knees
For you.

What a weekend.  With one minor exception, it was so good.  Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was laid up.

For your eyes only
Can see me through the night.
For your eyes only
I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me
So much in me that's new.
I never felt
Til I looked at you.

For your eyes only.
Only for you.
You see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only.
Only for you.
The love I know you need in me.
The fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you.
Only for you.

For your eyes only,
The nights are never cold.
You really know me,
That's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book
Because I know you're mine.
But you don't need read between the lines.

For your eyes only.
Only for you.
You see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only.
Only for you.
The passions that collide in me,
Whirl around inside of me.
Only for you.
- Sheena Easton, "For Your Eyes Only"

Share a song you loved way back in the day.

I make no apologies for my love of Sheena Easton...

What's your ultimate rainy day song?
Submitted by J-Len.

Depends on the type of day.  These are the ones that come to mind right now and can always change.  Because there is no "ultimate" song.
Answer - Sarah McLachlan
Strong Persuader - Robert Cray
A Go Go - John Scofield
Box of Rain - Grateful Dead
Royal Station 4/16 - Melissa Etheridge
Wind Beneath My Wings - Sheena Easton
Darling Nikki - Prince

I'm sure there's more.  And I'm sure that I'm forgetting an obvious one or six.  But those are the ones that come to mind.

I make no apologies for my love of Sheena Easton.

Where I come from there's a place
Called heaven.
It's the place where all the good children go.
The houses are of silver,
the streets are gold.
But there's more where you come from
My sugar walls.

Blood races to your private spots
Lets me know there's a fire
You can't fight passion
When passion is hot
Temperatures rise inside my sugar walls

Lemme take you somewhere
You've never been.
I could show you things you've never seen.
I could make you never want to fall in love again.
Come spend the night inside my sugar walls.
- Sheena Easton (written by Prince), "Sugar Walls"
