Ahhhh V-Day…not to be confused with D-Day, although well….ok…I’ll just leave it at that…LOL. Break out the chocolates and roses. The holiday of love and romance is here! Flower retailers, chocolate makers, card stores and restaurants are all stocked up and ready to rake in the dough. Couples all over the world are making plans to out-do last year’s festivities.
Some single folks may be getting a tad bit annoyed every time “Valentine’s Day” is even mentioned. Let’s face it…Valentine’s Day is much more fun when you have someone to share it with. Some are completely rejecting it all together with the belief that February 14th is just another day on the calendar and nothing more; that we don’t need a contrived holiday to justify love in our lives.
Say it with me now….Ahhhh V-Day. Well, no matter where you stand, V-Day doesn’t have to be D-Day. Love can expressed in various ways. Let V-Day be a simple reminder to acknowledge the important people in your life and most of all, let true love find its way to you.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I would like to share a song I wrote called “Number One”. When I wrote “Number One”, I thought about what I believe love should really be: supportive, romantic and unconditional. I decided to combine my lyrics with the music of one of my favorite Grammy Award winning artists, Maxwell. “Number One” was recorded to Track #4 off of Maxwell’s album Embrya, “Drown Deep: Hula.”
“Number One” is now available as a FREE download here.
For my people who just got out of a relationship or who have chosen to say good-bye to love for the moment or who are simply over it, I have not forgotten you. I dedicate my newly released single, “It’s Over, I’m Gone”, off of my debut album “Walk With Me”. “It’s Over, I’m Gone” is a declaration of self respect and inner strength. When people don’t meet you half way in a relationship (be it romantic, business or in friendship), you have to love yourself enough to walk away once and for all. In any situation in life where there is no reciprocity especially when you find yourself giving your all, don’t be afraid to let go.
“It’s Over, I’m Gone” is now available for ONLY .99 Cents on iTunes and CD Baby.
Cheers & Love Always,
Rae
