I'd Really Love To See You Tonight

Ah, it's finally gone away. I swear it lasted for about 2 weeks this time. Sometimes I'll get a song STUCK in my head and it won't go away no matter how much I hate it. This time it was "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight". I don't know who sings it, or what year it came out, but it just about drove me insane.

Let me share what it's like:

Hello, yeah, it's been awhile.
Not much. How 'bout you?
I'm not sure why I called,
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
And I was thinkin' maybe later on
we could get together for awhile.

It's been such a long time and I really do miss your smile.
I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
and I don't wanna change your life
but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight.

We could go walkin' through a windy park,
take a drive along the beach
or stay at home and watch TV,
you see it really doesn't matter much to me.

I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
and I don't wanna change your life
but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight.

I won't ask for promisesso you don't have to lie.
We've both played that game before,
say I love you then say goodbye.

I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
and I don't wanna change your life
but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight. (repeat & fade)

Now you can see why I'm so glad that's over! Not that there's anything really awful about the song. It's just that every time I turned around, I was humming or singing it. It kind of reminds me of when we were moving, all my stuff was packed away, and the only cassette tape I could get to was a single of New Kids On The Block "Hangin Tough." A single! Of New Kids On The Block! You know what? That was probably worse than what I've endured these last two weeks.

I always have music playing in my head. Usually, it just skips around from one song to another, without annoying the heck out of me. This is very common, I gather, among ADD people. If you have yet to experience it, maybe just sing those lyrics a few hundred times. Or you could visit this link: http://www.pediatricneurology.com/sound.htm No wonder we're distracted!

I also have a song that I hum when I'm anxious, presumably to calm myself down. It's called "It Really Doesn't Matter" (from George Michael's "Older" album). When I hear myself humming it, it's sometimes my first cue that something IS the matter.

Well, I guess there isn't much point to this post but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight.
