So, it has been forever since my last post, and I apologize. I moved this month and spent many nights stressing, but you know what? It's alright, because I'm gonna paint it cherry red. You're probably thinking "paint what?" Well, I'm not sure, but I do know that I have those lyrics stuck in my head. They're from "Midnight Blue" by Lou Gramm, which I am sure you've heard many times. It is an awesome song, and he released it in 1987 on his first solo album. For some reason, I've had this song playing through my mind for a long time. I think it's a great tune to haunt your brain, because believe me, there are many others that I would not want invading my mental space.
I am going to paint everything cherry red!
I looked at the lyrics, and I'm not quite sure I follow. Well, I guess Lou "used to follow," as he sings in the tune. He sings about a guy who seems to be a bit of a rebel. He is in love with a girl, but then at the end of the song, he sings that he will be "back again." Someday--he'll be back again. He sings, "I'm saving up my love." Hmm... So, perhaps the guy has to go away for a spell, but since he says "someday" he'll be back again, it seems a bit undefined and open-ended. Oh well. I suppose it doesn't matter. I just love this tune, especially the whole cherry red thing. Oh, and there is the whole thing about going into the "midnight blue." It has a sort of fun, rebellious, endless possibility mystique. Guitar licks and Lou's voice really drive this one home in my opinion, so enjoy the midnight blue!
