There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It's the color of love
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you
He led me to you

He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside?
I can't say

When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
I
You wrap me up in
The color of love

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

Wasn't it clear from the start?
Look the sky is full of love
Yeah, the sky is full of love

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

You wrapped me up in the color of love
In the moonlight, baby
It must have been an angel came down from above
Giving me love, yeah
Giving me love, yeah

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life

    "When I was led to you I knew you were the one for me I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat" - that's a beautiful feeling.

    Song Meaning

    Sade, of course, I don’t know your true meaning of your awesome song, “Kiss of Life”! This is for Sade & I pray that she will one day read this commentary on her song “Kiss of Life”! Sade, I’m 71 & my fiancé of almost 10 years now is only 29; I’m a white man, medically retired from the US Navy after 22 years of service, in a wheelchair the last 25 years with an incurable rare nerve disease caused by military surgeons cutting the wrong nerve (twice) while serving active duty in Sigonella, Sicily, Italy with my wife Barbara & family of my son Brandon & daughter Stephanie! My future wife is Britteny Ne’chelle Douce, an extremely beautiful black lady with a daughter Rihanna & baby son; whom for almost 10 years have provided a home, furnishings, & all required things until we finally get married! Presently my future family & Britt live in a home I rent, completely furnished & taken care of, including the paying of all types of bills, including food & supplies needed for the education of my soon to be Stepdaughter Rihanna & all needed items for the baby as well! We tried to get married at the Richmond County Courthouse but bye to the outbreak of the Virus, the Courthouse was closed & off limits! We had selected a song for our engagement to each other & subsequent loving feelings for each other which included many trials and tribulations these last 10 years! The song was by Ed Sheeran called, “Perfect”! However, it was soon apparent that that song was actually lacking several true qualifications for a song dedicated to us, our true love for each other, our sacrifices for each other, as well as our needs for each other! I realized that we needed a new song, one song that bridged the gap that Ed Sheeran’s great song, “Perfect”, was truly missing! Granted, Sade, your song had been out for a very long time; however, that makes no difference when it comes to LOVE! Granted, The Bee Gees wrote ‘this song but it’s as relevant to love in life as they are intertwined even today! Your song, sung by you, Sade, & what I mean by that is that no other artist could’ve taken that song and driven it to his highs and lows that were needed to describe the highs and lows that Britney and I have had in our engagement in our lives together! The way that you interpreted each of the words in the way that you sang that song sounding out in reverberating each of the words described all the love And passion that Britteny and I have had Through all these years that we’ve known each other and continue to reverberate our passions and love to this very day you made it how long ago your song was written or when the last time you sang that song! Sade it would be a tribute to our love into those others in this world that are young at heart and earn so much love that songs like this draws together in passion and love describing our lives and we would be honored if you were to sing this song at our wedding? Of course there’s no way we could afford such an event although the Lord knows that if I had the money I’d do it for my love to show her how much love and passions in my heart the same love and passion Sade that you showed seeing this song many years ago! Yes I do I wish I had the money to transport Sade and her band here in Little owl Augusta, Georgia, which is located several hours outside of Atlanta Georgia which is still in the middle of nowhere I’m sure compared to where of you been! All I can say Sade is that we would be so honored and if by the last breath I have on this earth that I could tell my Brittany “I will love you forever my darling Britney then I would be more than happy to share the world this wonderful love We have for each other and with each other! I know in your heart Sade you’ve got your own family to deal with schedules and all this sort of thing and there’s no way I could afford having you and your band as well as your family here in “little ole, Augusta, Georgia!! Oh that’s not to say you don’t have a lot of fans here because I’m sure you do and I’m sure that will open up new venues for you as far as your musical career goes but oh how I would wish that you could come and sing in our wedding song that means so much to us that burns in our hearts every day that love that cherished love that we have the trials and tribulations that we live each day but knowing at the end of each day that we’ve won that battle we are together still! That’s not to say that my beautiful wife to be says it OK Sade’s gonna be here this is awesome I’m sure my Britney is saying, John, realistically sure they probably would love to be here but we don’t have the money we probably never would be able to afford having her in her band here and for her to sing in our wedding we will play the songs on our iPhone and have to just live with that but at least it’s in our heart we do think Sade for the love that she gives every time she sings the dedication that she gives to every song that she has and she sings, the brightness That Sade gives to each heart that opens up to listen to her wonderful singing her voice and the songs that she sings this is all beautiful and we thank the Lord for such an awesome young lady like Sade in our hearts we hope that her singing at our wedding on our phones will suffice I know that that you John would love to honor me with Sade singing our love song; however realistically my darling sweetheart it’s not gonna happen although it would be awesome in the world would would be an all by the love that would become of this and I would think my sweetheart Britney for the comments she just gave do you Sade and we think you shot a Britteny and I for keeping us together with the song of hope in the song of joy and love and togetherness and that love that sustains us each and every day through trials and tribulations were still there at the end of the day! Thank you, Sade!! God bless you Sade how we wish you could be with us here now and our wedding and I seriously don’t know how long I’m going to live past our wedding the way things are these days, Sade, but you know I’m doing the best I can and I’m very independent and I try to do as many things by myself as possible to lighten the load for my wife to be and it’s going to remain that way until my last breath is given I haven’t have a second service dog my first one a yellow Labrador, live for 17 years which is rare because they usually pass at seven years of age and this particular one also the same name Haley Marie Beckman II, Has already surpassed her 11 years it will be soon 13 years old! As it is I’m having trouble trying to get this organization in a town nearby in Evans, Georgia, to get me my third service dog before my present one passes and they seem to want to drag their feet I guess that’s the way things are these days I just hope you’re not doing this to all the other veterans that would be one horrible scam! I do need another service dog or I’m not gonna make it I need to make sure the loads lighting for my wife to be I almost would call off our wedding so that I do not trouble or overload my wife to be with things that my service dog does for me because my wife to be has enough things to do as it is I know that sounds cruel and terrible that I would not marry my wife to be because of not getting my third service dog that I need but I don’t wanna put her through extra strife and troubles that my service dogs have been able to help me with but I’m not getting any help from that group of people that are supposedly helping us veterans with a service dog even though I did qualify they just pulled out at the last moment and they won’t respond anymore so I guess I’m not going to get another dog! They’re called Veterans canine solutions in Evans, Georgia but like I said I qualified but then they pulled out at the last moment and said well our instructors don’t don’t do that and I tried to explain I was on eggs sharing with my two service dogs have done in the past I wasn’t saying your service dog and I’m gonna be getting now is supposed to do this and they wouldn’t listen to me and they won’t even respond with my emails or anything so I’m in a quandary! I love my future wife so much I wanna marry her so badly Sade, but I don’t want to throw all this extra weight in Streiff upon my future wife with the two kids she’s got enough problems I don’t need to overload her but yeah I love her too much not to want to marry her I do wanna marry her but, Sade, I just don’t know what to do and I’m going to have to come up with an answer real soon because soon enough the courthouse is going to open up so we can get married in then it’s gonna be time for me to step up to the plate and I want us to get married but I don’t want to put all this extra burden upon my future wife it’s unfair I love her too much to do this Sunday help me what should I do and I’m not like a little kid and can’t make up my mind it’s just my heart staring at me for the chalet what the heck am I going to do I love her so much I don’t want to put all this extra stress and pressure upon her if I don’t have another service dog and this one passes? I wish you’d respond and talk to me but I’m sure that’s just like singing in our wedding it’s not gonna happen how I wish it would all Lord knows how I wish it would here is my email address and phone number Sade if by a miracle whoever’s looking out for you and checking all of your mail and stuff if they see fit to let you see this but he probably won’t they probably throw this in the trash first thing and you’ll never even know about us! Thank you again Sade for your music for your talent for that beautiful song and for singing that song for bringing that song to life Sade music and words are one thing but singing That song and bringing it to life that’s all up to you Sade! (706-829-3732) And my email address (jt_beckman@hotmail.com) How long have I tossed & turned over this Quandary!! Praying to our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! (Born again on October 21, 1989) for in the end, He has the final words & the final solutions! The Alpha & the Omega, Sade!! Please respond to my plea, our plea, Sade; I’ve asked our Lord for His guidance & believe it; He has led me to share this all with you & to ask you, Sade, share with both of us, your wisdom?? Please??

    In Christ’s Holy Name, John T Beckman III & Britteny Ne’chelle Douse & Haley Marie Beckman II (Yellow Labrador - Service Dog of almost 13 years)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
