I Love Your Lovin' Ways
Here is a love song, by the woman who makes me think of love songs as a non-schmaltzy or materialistic tendency. I think most love songs suck. So when I was making huge decisions about a relationship, and my life, and what it all meant, I came across a cd of Nina's tunes and fell head over heels in love. Thankfuly I had the opportunity to see her play live one last time before she passed away and while the seats weren't great, and while the $40 ticket seemed so high at the time, I'm so incredibly glad I went. There is nothing like seeing a brassy, bawdy, diva stand up after singing a song and after getting just a round of applause saying "If I can fly my ass all the way from France, you can get up off yours and show me some respect." Unfortunately, I realized that one of her songs that makes me cry everytime I hear it isn't in my iTunes. I'll have to remedy that. It was the song that I really wanted to share with y'all.
