BRINGEN IT BACK

Before reading this please scan down to my playlist and click on the very first song on my playlist so you can feel the emotion as you read.
I have recently decided that I am going to start a weekly, maybe monthly post to give recognition to great songs that have long since died. This weeks will be "Valerie" by Steve Winwood. Before just throwing the towell in right now and moving on to the next blog, please just listen to Steve for a minute, he makes a whole lot of sense.
The reason this came about is because the other day I was running my little route I do with my dog, listening to my ipod and this song came on that I think I put on there possibly by accident. Right as the song started I felt the pavement under my feet glide smoother, even faster. My adrenaline rose form a 7 to a level 10 within seconds. Go ahead and laugh, for some of you limp Bizkit or Marylin Manson may be the answer, but for me, Steve definitely does it.
As I was saying, so there I was running along, the wind blowing my hair with the smell of fall in the air and for one split second... I was wishen my name was Valerie.
"Valerieeeeeeeeeeee call on me, Call on meeeeeeeeeeee, Valerieeeeeeeee
Come and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee me, I'm the same boy I used to be.................."
