I’ve never seen nobody quite like you, and if you ever change your tune, oh, the world’s got the best of you. You can always find me where the skies are blue. Wanted to change. Turn into what you love, mama. And I woulda gave all my best to you. So if you ever need a fool who will give you a love so true, you can always find me where the skies are blue.

I like this song. I also feel like the title of this song would be the title of my blogs arch nemesis if it was also a blog. I heard this song for the first time in the middle of the night last night and I was immediately excited to write a blog about it. Sometimes I like to sleep on blog ideas because when I wake up from time to time I realize, not the best idea.

This song seems like maybe a love story gone wrong, for me it’s not that. The reason I enjoy writing based on songs is because just like life, no two people experience a song the same way. I always wanted to know how others hear songs. Some people care about the instruments and don’t even hear the lyrics, they just vibe to the frequencies. People like me who like words and over think, hear lyrics more than anything. Music has gotten me out of some real mental jams so I’m finding a lesson or a message in each song.

This song reminds me of the feeling of having a “crush” on someone. I’ve always found myself to be somewhat of a serial crusher. More often than not I love the idea of people. In the world we live in people are able to show this idea of who they might be even though it’s the exact opposite. I share this blog with 21 people. I actively have a “crush” or a feeling of admiration and interest towards one of those 21 people. This is an amusing piece of information for me to share because now anyone who may be reading this will wonder, is it me? To be honest I don’t think the person has ever read the blog but I could be wrong.

When I heard the lyrics I picked for the first paragraph this person immediately came to mind. The way romantic feelings can work is interesting because to be honest, I don’t know all that much about this person. We’ve never really had the type of deep conversations I prefer to have so it makes me curious how I got to this point of feelings. I’m not sure how she feels but it has very much been an amusing process. A back and forth of likes on instagram like true children. Do they mean something? Do they mean nothing?

For me it’s less of a message of I’m into you and more of a message of “I see you”. It’s less hey I really like the idea of you, and more I see you’re also going through a change in life. How have you been dealing with these changes? Have you felt lost at any point? I know I have in my changes.

The lyrics ring true though, I’ve never seen nobody quite like you. I like music because sometimes it’s terrible grammar and I have bad grammar too. When I say I’ve never seen nobody quite like you, don’t take it literal. I mean sure you’re physically a thing of beauty, but you have this welcoming energy I’ve never experienced. You have this feeling about you that feels safe, like home. Powerful, genuine, kind, everything you could hope for.

I’d like to turn into what you love, but I don’t think it would take much changing. I don’t see it as changing for someone either. I see it as motivation to make the changes I’ve wanted to change anyways. Maybe that’s a bad way of looking at it.

I’m not sure what my best is, but I’d certainly give my best to this woman. Instead of looking at the stars, I’d be looking at her. What’s the point in looking up at a source of light that has burned out already, rather than something shining so bright right here with you.

Who knows where a “crush” leads or where this one leads? In my head this person doesn’t know how intrigued I am by then, and like a child, I won’t be sharing that information. There’s something fun about a crush, something nostalgic.

And to my crush, if you ever need a fool who can give you a love so true, you can find me…

Where the skies are gold not gray, J.
