Crazy.
Well, today was not my favorite day just because I've been hit by what I can only assume are seasonal-type allergies. My eyes are feeling kinda fuzzy, I'm sneezing a lot, and I have swelling/drainage going on in my sinuses. Yuck. I didn't sleep well last night, and that did not make me feel any better this morning. But, lo and behold, I made it through the day and I'm actually not feeling as awful as I expected to feel at this point in the day.
The wind has been whipping out here for a while now, and it's actually creating forest fire issues in areas close to me. Today is the first day that it's noticeably smoky and hazy outside. It literally smells like a bonfire. It's kind of creepy. But at least we're due for a good storm tonight, so hopefully that will help the fire problem (and my allergies!).
I've been thinking about what I want to bring you for today's Monday Music Moment, and I've decided to bring you a song from the ever talented British starlet, Adele. Her voice has always been one of my favorites. The first time I heard "Chasing Pavements," I was sold. I found a video of her doing a live performance of her song "Someone Like You," and I just sat and watched it in awe. Her voice is so powerful. As usual, I'll post the lyrics under the video. Enjoy!
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg.
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah...
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over yet.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg.
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares.
Regrets and mistakes,
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg.
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,

I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah, yeah...
There you have it! Hope you enjoyed the song; feel free to leave requests for songs you'd like to see featured as a Monday Music Moment. :) I'm always looking for a new sound!
See you tomorrow for Tasty Tuesday!
