Love anthem

I'm going through this spell where I'm feeling very receptive and open to many things. It's not a conscious effort, just that a lot of things seem to be leaving a lasting impression on me -- making me feel things with greater depth, ponder more (some thoughts don't leave me at night), and just...I dunno...can't really describe it.

Feels like the whole universe is holding me even closer these days than before, and I'm just welcoming it all in.

I mean just in this two weeks, I've been smitten by the charmingly acidic Anthony Bourdain, can't seem to get enough of grapefruits and its bitter after-taste (take one each day!), and loving this song.

It just blows my mind, I can't even describe it! I've heard of the Dave Matthews Band before...especially the song Crash Into Me. But this one, Crush, the Radio City acoustic version, is something else, man!

I love the lyrics, the way DM mouths the words, his tenderness, the urgency in his voice, his little grin, the sensual everything. It's so intoxicating, and he just got all the feelings, all the sensations for love right.

The song's about love, about falling in love, about the fixation with a person, the admiration, the never-wanna-leave-you-for-a-second feeling, etc.

Every line in the song is just amazing. When you were in love, didn't you feel that every thing in the world was amazing? Just like Dave says, "It's crazy, I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round."

And when you love somebody, you're just "dancing on the ground, am I right side up or upside down? And is this real, or am I dreaming?"

"And I wonder this: could tomorrow be so wondrous as you there sleeping."

And right at the end of the song, it ends with this: "Oh my love, many now hold you, but please, please, just let me, always..."

Wow.

And to think that the song almost didn't make it into their album, Before These Crowded Streets!

My love anthem for hubby and me from now on. Just because the song so reminds me of us.

Thank you, bfm 89.9 for playing this brilliant song for me this very first time today.

And just because I love it so much, here's another version of it.
