I Can't Quit Her - Blood, Sweat & Tears

Two mornings in a row I have woke up with this song in my head. I figured I should post it so maybe I can move on to something other than Blood, Sweat & Tears. Maybe there's a message there for me. The Youtube video isn't anything special, just the album cover with the music playing. I've also posted some partial lyrics of the chorus.
I can't quit her
She got her hand on me
She got a hold on my soul
I can't quit her

For my wife on our 25th Wedding Anniversary

Today is my 25th wedding anniversary. To me it is quite significant, sort of a milestone. My wife and I have spent over half our lives together. In my mind it is like we have always been together and always will. It is a really a very good feeling. I can think of no one I'd rather be with.

I have had Blood, Sweat & Tears on the brain the last few days as you may have noticed from the previous two posts. Today is no exception. In recognition of our anniversary today's song is You've Make Me So Very Happy which can be found on the Blood, Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits CD.



Last night this other song popped into my head, You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker. I was having trouble remembering who the artist was, but I found it this morning. A beautiful song for a beautiful woman. It amazes me that while I get older my wife just gets more beautiful; I am blessed. She is truly the most beautiful woman in the world. It was difficult deciding on a video. I finally decided on this one. Enjoy.

God Bless The Child - Blood Sweat & Tears

I've had a lot of Blood Sweat & Tears songs in my head the last few days. This song has been in my head since 4:00 am this morning. I've always enjoyed listening to this song. But, today I'm wondering what it really means. Look at these lyrics:
And rich relations may give you, a crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take to much
Mama may have, and papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own,
That's got his own

What is it that Mama & Papa may have? And, what exactly is got his own? What is own? I don't know, but I sure am wondering.

Another song that goes along with this theme, at least the child theme, is And When I Die. I thought that I would include a video of that as well since I'm on the Blood Sweat & Tears thing today.

The first video is not the study version of the song and the audio could be a little stronger, but it's a nice version, a little more jazzy.

I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know - Blood Sweat & Tears



This is a nice song to wake up to although it doesn't get my body moving. I didn't think much about it at first but then it seemed very appropriate because my wife and I are about to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I guess it's not too unusual for a person to feel that the object of their desire doesn't know just how much they are truly loved.

I recently bought a group of used CD's to see what kind of value there was. This CD was one of them and is probably the reason I had this song in my head to start with. I'm glad I bought the CD as it has a lot of nice songs on it, but that probably dates me a bit.

To my wife...I Love You!


I've decided to include a few YouTube videos for this song. The first is a live performance. It is actually pretty good considering the time. The 2nd video has a good sound quality and sounds like the album version, and the slideshow is pretty good too. The 3rd is a Gary Moore cover, a slightly different interpretation. Of course I don't think anything could beat the original.
