"CHERRY WINE!!!"

one

 
 
It was a Hot Indian Summer day in 2012. I was sitting in the car with Lucas raving about Nas' latest song."I got this one joint I want you to hear!" So I go ok, because sometimes he over does the whole rap thing. I think he gets caught up in the HYPE! For me, Nas is HIP HOP ROYALTY. The lineage of artist he comes from is beyond GREAT and I expect nothing less from whenever he puts out a new CD.
He hits track #13 and a familiar old school beat starts filling my ears; then I hear a guitar sound likened to a ukulele. I'm hooked on from the start of Amy's voice and the BASS LINE HAD ME STOLE! Right away, I fell in love with the "STORY" because we all know Nas is a "STORY TELLER" with a"VIVID IMAGINATION!" The funny thing is my mind begins wandering and I find myself in this "ZONE!" All of a sudden, a light hearted happiness seems to fill my heart and my soul begins a "DANCE." You all know what "THE DANCE "is...RIGHT? 'THE DANCE OF TWO PEOPLE IN LOVE!" Only thing is, the song doesn't remind me of him at all, and I'm saying to myself "OH BOY!" I hate when he puts me on to songs, because they are NEVER for him or us. This happened in 2004, when we were together for like two years or so and Usher's Confessions CD came out; he hits track # 18 and Usher begins with "There's always that one person who will always have your heart...Why? I listen to this ballad and memories flood my mind! Why am I tormented by these songs? Why does he always put me on to songs that represent NOTHING about us? WHY? Riding in the car one afternoon; I was so wracked with guilt, that I had a "confession" of my own; admitting to my mother (who was still alive) the song reminded me of someone else!

My mother just shook her head and said "That's a shame," I think you two are better off friends! He's a nice guy, but you have no "REAL" feelings and neither does he. I used to get upset when Mommy tried to advise me about Life and Love, but Lord knows she was right. The moral of this story is; If your mind doesn't do a "DANCE BETWEEN YOU AND THAT MAN," then you have no rhythm at all! And honestly, it's a sign. If your love doesn't have a soundtrack; especially with us as women, then "HE IS NOT YOUR CHERRY WINE OR YOUR BOO!" I.J.S!!!!
