The Quiet Storm

 
“Some people say
That there ain’t no such thing
No such thing as a lasting love
Well I don’t agree
‘Cause I hold within me
The very love that I’m speaking of 

It can surely be
Everything that you need
Making both two worlds complete
So I’m saving all, all of my love
For that special one you see

I want a real love
I need a true love
And I’ll never stop searching for that higher love
I want a real love
I need a true love
A real true love

In this world today
Will true love is rare
Give your heart if you dare
To stand the pain
Well I’m so tired
Going back and forth
Being in and out
Of what I thought was love
Hear me Lord up above 

Send me someone please
Surely you can see
This feeling is so strong in me
The kind of love when
Two hearts become one
Minds grow closer and closer
Love that shines bright when there’s no sun 

I want a real love
I need a true love
And I’ll never stop searching for that higher love
I want a real love
I need a true love
A real true love” 

~Stephanie Mills – Real Love
 

From the song alone, you can tell I was digging in the retro crates. This song was on my mind earlier this week and I kept forgetting to move it into my R&B playlist in iTunes. Stephaie Mills' "Home" CD was great!
 
I was having a glorious Fun Family Friday chatting w/ my bestie. Fun Family Friday is really a mockery, a sham and there is nothing fun about it lol!!  In actuality it's a raggedy, uneventful Friday night; the norm. It never ceases to amaze me how much fun we have acting straight fool no matter where we are or what we're doing lmao!! I am convinced we will ALWAYS be young at heart. The super bowl commercial for Taco Bell w/ the old people partying like rock stars then hitting Taco Bell before they go back to the retirement home and the sun is already up…that is sooooo us in our 80s (see video below)! Living in two different states and time zones, we consistently manage to have so much fun I think some people I mention her to in Texas thinks she lives here!
 
Tonight, there were a couple songs I had been meaning to download so I could update the iPod. Somehow, this turned into a coast to coast house party! Keep in mind, there was no one in my apartment with me besides Chloee who seemed annoyed at the racket and kept lifting head back out of her bed to look at me like I needed to turn it down lol!! BFF was there remotely via Twitter and Gmail Chat and we had a couple sign on from Austin and San Antonio. As I started downloading songs for my Club C. Love mix, I was emailing the BFF every song. Throw a couple drinks in the mix on both ends and you have yourself a party.  While this was going on, she was tweeting about our exhilarating evening. I ended up going from downloading songs for the iPod to taking request from all over this land. I’m playing cuts, taking requests and emailing jams. This was all hype music. It was for the Club C. Love mix. I inadvertently came across a “sexy time” song.  This changed the tone of night. Remember after last call when the club is about to close and they play one more song that’s slow like R. Kelly’s “Slow Dance?” I started mixing the love songs and mood music which birthed the Quiet Storm hosted by yours truly; DJ C. Love!. LMAO!! 
 
We had so much fun!! I sincerely believe it’s not where you are but who you’re with that determines if you have a good time. I was pinned in, staying on the only dry spot in the bedroom since the apt flooded this morning yet I still had a freakin’ BALL lol!! Below is a portion of the convo via twitter.
