I’m pretty sure it has reached the stage of irritation for my colleague –who sits next to me- that I like Alicia Keys’ Love is blind. At least, I use my other colleague’s headphones, so it can’t be that bad.
Keys’ The element of freedom has been out for quite some time now, but I only heard this song for the first time, two weeks ago. Thank God, I am not surrounded by anyone who’s a big fan. Otherwise, I would have been a disgrace.
What I like about the song is the mere fact that Alicia Keys poises a nonchalant feeling through her lyrics citing being blinded by love. Being a sucker for love myself, I kind of relate to the song. Well, especially because when it comes to me loving someone, it takes a hundred blows for me to listen to what people say about my partner. Otherwise, I tend to wave like Khanyisile Mbau when being taken for a ride in one of those lovers fools vehicles. By that, I mean I have been made a fool by the people I loved so much, whom I strongly believed and somehow felt that they loved me back.
Such experiences might mean a lot of things to a person, but to me they certainly DO NOT mean giving up on love or on finding that one person who will be mine. Maybe my trust engine might be tempered a bit, but not entirely.
Inevitably, I will possibly get hurt again; once or maybe twice, but I am willing to go through that to find my love. Like John Legend puts it, you love, you love, you love, though you’ve been burnt, you still return. That’s me.
Besides being hurt or heart-broken, I do have some good moments with my people.
Happy read!
