Morning hymn

Local radio stations are pedantic, especially between 7am and 9am. They all got devoured by the omni-present daily routine and won’t show any signs of anti-conformism, spontaneity or wit whatsoever (yes, I miss you Mr. Tanti). It’s the last thing you need after lack of sleep, puffy eyes and not having a substantially healthy breakfast. But today was different… well, at least for 5 minutes or so. The DJ had the pleasure to put on one of my favourite love songs of all time – To Love Somebody, the Michael Bolton version. There have been a couple of artists who interpreted the song, including the Bee Gees and Billy Corgan (I shall be dedicating a whole post to this formidable man, but the time is not yet ripe).

There’s a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There’s a way
Ev’rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got

You don’t know what it’s like
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain’t got to be so blind
And I’m blind, so very blind
I’m a man
Can’t you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got you

You don’t know what it’s like
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
