It Could All Be So Simple

And when I hear the first measure, I already know I'll close my eyes and rock my head to the slow drum. I'll move my hands in slow motion and sing like I wrote it. I'll roll my back against the leather seat because I'm driving and  I can't do my solo dance - pain medicine.

I reach for the volume and turn it up because this. was. it. This still is it and my memory floats back to the first time I heard the opening chimes and her lyrical "yo." Her riffs and runs were detailed in her crisp, souled alto, but I made sure to learn them. We all did. Ask anyone to sing "this is crazy, oh this is crazy." Her story and message were her own, but I had one like it. We all did. Who hasn't told their ex no one can do it better.  

Do it. Do it has nothing to do with being laid in the bed all sexed up and sweated out. Lauren didn't sing about that.

Can we just love again?
