Your Beautiful ( Your Physically)

 My life is brilliant. (My life is confusion)

My love is pure.

I saw an angel. (I saw a stranger)

Of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man.

But I won't lose no sleep on that,

Cause I've got a plan. ('Cause I'm a unrealistic man.)

You're beautiful. You're beautiful. (Your physically. Your physically)

You're beautiful, it's true. I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do, (I have to plan what I must do)

 'Cause I'll never be with you. (Cause one day I should be with you)

 Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by.

 She could see from my face that I was, (She didn't notice me but I was,)

 Flying high, (libido high)

 And I don't think that I'll see her again, (And I can't stop obsessing about her)

 But we shared a moment that will last till the end. (But only I had a moment in the end)

You're beautiful. You're beautiful. (Your physically. Your physically)

You're beautiful, it's true. I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do, ( and I've got issues too)

'Cause I'll never be with you. (Cause one day I WILL be with you)

You're beautiful. You're beautiful. (Your physically. Your physically)

You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face, (There must be an angel who saw my face,)

When she thought up that I should be with you. (When she thought I should get a life)

But it's time to face the truth,

 I will never be with you. ( Your a stranger that's true)

I'm the first one to accidentally perk my lips when watching a great kiss scene on TV and then turnto make sure no-one has noticed me. I'm the first one to cry when someone else cries. I even get that little lonesome feeling when a happily ever after movie has ended, so I have a romantic blood line left. I appreciate the effort in love songs, I just want one I can listen to and it might happen like that one day. Here's another example that drove me batty this year- I have yet to listen through the whole song, I'm in love with a stripper. The beat is great, his voice is interesting but the lyrics are so outside of what my rational brain is capable of, that I can't even offer a fair criticism. I'm just guessing but chances are, they sing the same lyrics over and over. Maybe this is a love song. Maybe he marries her and she takes on a new career, lol. I know. I know but I saw the movie Pretty Woman. These things do happen.

At any rate, I only heard the first few verses and I was done for. Kelly Clarkson has a great song called Walk Away. This song has a great beat too and I love most of the lyrics. Again, notice I said most of the lyrics. When I hear this part of the song, "Are you going to fight for me, Die for me, Live and breathe for me," I want to scream into the radio station, "Women don't listen!" I literally puke and I have evidence of this, still in my car. When the song plays on the radio, I actually let my kids listen to it. Why? Great teaching moment folks. I respond like a female Socrates, "Kids, this is what people with low self-esteem believe. Aren't they el-stupido?" Then I wait to see if they say yes, as they bob their heads pretending to not like the song to appease me. Can I be honest here- If any guy sang, "Die for me, Live and Breathe for me," he would be labeled as an ego driven guy who deserves to be hung. If I was dating some guy who said that, I would be runnin for the border folks. Now, if any guy sang the lyrics, "Are you going to fight for me," he would be labeled as gay. You see the discrepancies here?(laughing) Women tend to be the die-hard worshippers of "I need a man," so they hear these disabling lyrics and they run with it. A final warning- If any gal tells a guy "Are you going to fight for me," he better get runnin; cause his night and shining journey now has a short life span in the name of love.

Clay Aiken

When I watched the American Idol finals this year the best part was watching Clay Aiken walk out. I screamed like some crazed teenager and hoped no-one saw me. He is the all alpha male and the surprising geek that gals shout, "Drool Drool," heck even the Clay Aiken look-a-like was drooling. When the music started and the announcer said, "Will the real Clay Aiken come on down," Clay did his thang. He walked out stout, confidant and knew he was all that. Clay, being the professional that he is, handled the look-a-likes attempt at a duet very smoothly. Funny though, the look-a-like wasn't even a bit embarrassed. He is the type that will go home, re-watch his debut over and over; and for the rest of his life, not once think he over reacted. This is what makes earths grand adventure worth living through. When Clay comes to my town the teenagers and us older gals, going through a mid-life crisis will join hands, wait in line and no doubt fainting spells shall commence, by us all.

Michael Buble

Speaking of drool, have you ever listened to Michael Buble? He has now moved up to my number one spot of best male vocal of the year. He has surpassed Adam Duritz, the Counting Crows lead singer, whose now down to number two. Check out Michael's his newest album. He is soothing.

John Mayer 

My third favorite male vocal is John Mayer. He has a song called Your body is a Wonderland, that I shall most certainly play on my future honeymoont.

Renee Olstead 

Lastly, gotta tell yah about Renee Olstead. She has a song called A Love That Will Last, that I can't get through the day without hearing at least once.

Just to let you know, I have started the process of trying to get an interview with Mr. Clay Aiken. Will keep you updated.

  I saw an interview with James Blunt where he explained his inspiration for writing the song "You're Beautiful". He said that he saw in a subway station the woman that he had been in love with and had broken up with.  Their eyes met but she was with another guy, so they did not speak.  He realized that he still cared about her but that they would never be together because she was with someone else now.

  Raven, I don't doubt your class/ability to restrain yourself from a wickedhot man like Clay, but I love your intellingent snark just the same ;)  
  
  Let's hope it WON'T be 3 months til the Beautiful Anomaly resurfaces......some of us are admittedly turning to rich desserts & other indulgent fancies to keep ourselves entertained.  I know I'M getting pretty desperate :(
  
  I'm sure you'll have a really good q&a prepped for him.  If you need a little help there just hit me up - I'll be glad to contribute to some creative questioning to liven things up.  I promise it's ALL professional, nothing that'd turning him (or you) beet-red  :-P
