I have a love affair with music. I am no respecter of genre. If it's something I can feel, then I'll listen to it. Luckily in my almost 26 25 years of living, I've been exposed to different cultures and a mixture of different people that have given me an ample dosage of all types of music. One of my favorite songs is "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow. That song... I just feel it all down on the inside. And I love it so much because it describes me to a T.
Are you strong enough to be my man? Yes, there are things that we must change about ourselves to help the relationship. But there are also things about me that make me the fullcomplexity that I am.
And it begs the question,
Are you strong enough to be my man? Yes, there are things that we must change about ourselves to help the relationship. But there are also things about me that make me the fullcomplexity that I am.
And it begs the question,
"Are you strong enough to be my man?"
God, i feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage i cannot fight
I'd be the
last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way i am
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise i'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't
leave
I have a face i cannot show
I make the rules up as i go
It's try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?
When i've shown you that i just don't care
When i'm throwing punches
in the air
When i'm broken down and i can't stand
Will you be man enough
to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise i'll believe
Lie to me
But
please don't leave

What I thought about as I read your post is something a guy I once semi-dated said to me. (Yes, semi-dated until he got on my nerves, but that's another story). This song is very similar in context to what I believe he meant. He basically told me that people should never be an open book; they should always be complex so you have to dig a little bit to really understand them. This song reminds me that complexity is good and being fully complex (fullcomplexity) is necessary. Complex women cannot be changed in the essential nature of who they are - too many levels - and real men should be prepared to handle all of us (every single detail) whether they really get us or not. Great song!
i totally agree with myowne...
what a great song and post. i understand the sentiment...both about the song itself and music in general.
i am so feeling so many types of music...it's ridiculous at the moment.
enjoy your music, it's one of Gods gifts for the soul!
@ Myowne- Yes!!! A little complexity is good. I agree that no one should be an open book. Too bad he got on your nerves... lol
@ honey I've never thought of music that way, "one of God's gifts for the soul". That's good stuff right there.
