Nostaglic...daddy's little girl!

So I was watching my favorite web channel (YouTube) and I was surfing videos trying to keep up with the latest and greatest artist. I can't lose touch of what is going on in my (soon to be 14 year old) son's world! So I ran across Nicki Minaj's video "Your Love", which samples the music from Annie Lennox "No more I love you." I lasked my husband to listen to it, to see if he remembered the song and of course he didn't, LOL! Anyway when my son listened to the song, he was astounded at how they had changed so many aspects of the song and yet it was still the same.

Annie Lennox... WOW! That song took me back to being a five year old little girl in San Francisco California, the Golden Gate Bridge, flying kites, the ice cream man, Culture Club and Boy George! Those were the days, back when it was all so fun and innocent... the music (at that time) was so light and airy!

Hot pinks, electric blues, shoulder pads, fog on the bay, mohawks, the original punk rockers, a summer breeze and Sherman Elementary School! My family and I had just moved back to the United States from Athens Greece and would leave in four years going to Germany for the second time.

When I was listening to the song I was transformed back to that little girl who knew nothing of paying bills, everyday struggles, murder or any kind of world hunger. For the three to five minutes that Annie Lennox was singing I was innocent again... for that short time I was my daddy's little girl, riding on his shoulders... eating ice cream in San Francisco! Life was GREAT!
