While I'm not typically a fan of Anthony Hamilton, this is his second song that has gripped me from the moment I heard it. It's just a cute, lovely song about love. I've been thinking about blogging about it for weeks, and I finally found a moment to do so, and for some reason, it's making me tear up right now.... I guess that's what I get for being an emotional being. :)
"Follow follow me, I wanna play inside. Catch a game of love and let the score go high. We can do whatever, let the time go by long as we're together. Sit in the room, focus on you, beautiful you. Show me your eyes, heavenly eyes - let's share our hearts tonight." This first verse is playful and fun. This man is singing to his loving, asking that they share in some quality time together. For him, it doesn't matter what they do as long as they do it together and share in love, even making a game of it in which they both win. He would even begin to sit and stare, admiring his love's beauty, looking into his love's eyes, and having open, heart-felt conversation as they express how they feel.
"I'm ready to be with you. I'm ready to follow you. I'm ready - we can do whatever. Whatever you wanna do, whatever - I'll do it for you. I'm ready - let's follow our hearts tonight." It seems that there has been some contemplation on his part, and now he's decided that he's ready to be with his love. He is even willing to follow and do what his love wants. It's as if he is submitting to the other person's desires, willing to be open and relinquish control of things to the one he loves. He simply wants them to follow their hearts and bask in the beauty that is love.
"Open, open, let's go take a chance on love. Follow in its footsteps like a child of love. It's alright, the heavens open up for us. It's what wonderful means. Sit in the room, focus on you, beautiful you. Show me your eyes, heavenly eyes - let's share our hearts tonight - hand in hand, the harder than hard with all of our heart." He now desires that they take the risk that love requires, venturing together into this space. To him, this is a beautiful place to be, such that heaven even opens up because of the love that they share, shining down as it to bless their union. This is the very definition of wonderful - the love that they have. Once again, he would be content to simply stare at and look into the eyes of his love, captivated by the beauty therein. He wants them to sit hand in hand, sharing together those deep, vulnerable things (the harder than hard) as they give all their love to each other, opening up beyond their fears and concerns to bring forth the greatness of what lies between them.
