It‘s Been Tooo Looong, And Can‘t Wait To Kick–It With Him!

Can Already Picture Him Waking Up At 6A.M., Finding Me Already Up, And He‘ll Say…

“It‘s Time To Play X–Box, Brad.”

And What Will Brad Say?

“You Betcha, Buster.”

Fo SHO.

If Not That, He‘ll Say…

“Sure Sure, Just Let Me Fill–Up My Coffee–Cup And I‘ll Be Right There.”

Uncle Brad Is Pretty Cool Like That.

Fo SHO Fo SHO.

The Song Stuck In My Head: “MAYBE BABY” by BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS (1957)

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

“…Well You Are The One That Makes Me Glad…

…And You Are The One That Makes Me Sad…

…When Someday, You Want Me…

…Well, I’ll Be There…

…Wait And See…”

The “MAYBE BABY” Single Album by BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS !!!

…

“…MAYBE BABY…

…I’ll Have You…

…MAYBE BABY…

…You’ll Be True…

…MAYBE BABY…

…I’ll Have You For Me. …”

… … …

…

The Subject Of Love Has Always Been ULTRA Touchy.

Not Just For Me, But For Most People.

In Regard To MYSELF…

…There Are Some Whom Believe I Don’t Really Love At All…

…Nor Do I Honestly Feel It Like Others Do.

Then, There Are Those Whom Think I Love Waaaaay Tooooo Much.

And THEN, There Are Those Who Couldn’t Honestly Care Either Way.

The Truth?

Maybe I Don’t Know How To Truly Express Love…

…But I Know I’m Capable Of Feeling It.

That’s Why Songs Like This One…

“MAYBE BABY“

by BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS

…Stick With Me As They Do.

It’s Because I Feel I Understand Them.

I Feel I Understand The Point Of The Song…

…Or At Least What The Songwriter Is Trying To Push As His/Her Point.

The Important Part, However, Is What Point I Take Away From The Song When It’s Over.

What Does It Personally Mean To ME?

That’s The Question.

Everyone Is Different.

Everyone Has Their Own Mind About Things.

What One Song Means To ME May Not Be Exactly What The Same Song Means To YOU.

And I Like That Part.

That Part Makes Me Feel Exceptionally Human.

A Lot Of The Time, I Don’t Feel Human At All.

I Know I AM Human.

I Just Don’t Feel The Same Way As Most People.

At Least, Not The Bulk of The People I’ve Come Across In My Worldly Travels.

To ME…

…BUDDY HOLLY Is Singing About The “Unobtainable Love Interest“ That We’ve All Come Across In Our Lives.

Well, A Lot Of Us Have.

The One That You Want Without Question, Even Though You Know You’ll Probably Never Have Them.

But, You’re Patient.

You’re Willing To Wait Them Out.

To See What Happens.

You Already Know Patience Is Not A Virtue.

It’s A Learned AND Honed Skill.

Some Of Us Are Just Better At Waiting Than Others.

I’m Patient…

…But NOT Because I WANT To Be.

It’s Because I Know I HAVE To Be.

And So I Wait.

Impatiently-Patient.

Meaning, I’m OUTWARDLY Patient…

…And INWARDLY I’m Absolutely Freaking-Out.

But Still…

…It DOES Count As PATIENCE.

Right?!

RIGHT!!
