Fake Love

Lately I've reconnected with Blende’s Chordashian Remix of Fake Love, released in September 2012. The vocals are sung by Rebecca of Sweden’s Rebecca and Fiona.

 

In the song Rebecca believes that people who fake love can take love, but then she warns the predators to not go messing with her heart. If they do, it’s gonna come back to them. She’s known boys who have pretended to care, awhile, then they show their true selves, and it’s not quite true. So she says, “Don’t go messing with my heart, cause it’s gonna come back to you.”

 

In the scriptures, the principle of coming back to you is called reaping what you sow. If you offer your concern or respect to someone, when all you want to get out of the arrangement is something for yourself, beware! One day it will come back to you. Maybe when you least expect it, the tide will change and someone will tinker with your emotions, go messing with your heart, leave you feeling misused, abandoned and alone.

 

Rebecca says we can’t erase the hurts we bring on others, and the hurts can always be traced back to one who lies.

Atmosphere

In the chorus of Kaskade's Atmosphere are the words, All my life I've been a star, holding a light up in the dark. When I look around I feel like I sense a great crowd of people wandering around in the dark. Either the bills are piling up, work is going badly, relationships are strained, or the losses seem insurmountable.

In The Ancient Mariner Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote:

A man all light, a seraph-man, On every corse there stood. This seraph-band, each waved his hand: It was a heavenly sight! They stood as signals to the land, Each one a lovely light.

We don't have to fix things – or people. Shining a little light with a kind word, a personal gift, or a moment of a busy day will go a long way toward lifting someone's spirit. We can be a heavenly sight for a person who needs to know they're loved.

Check out Kaskade's Atmosphere, and shine your light today.

Through the Motions

Franck Rger and Mandel Turner have captured the spirit of change in their house mix, Through the Motions. In the song they mention having a wide range of dramatic motions. One minute they're hot; the next they're cold. Always turning. So much change it almost makes you dizzy.

But change is an essential ingredient of life. Gail Sheehy says, "If we don't change, we don't grow. And if we don't grow, we aren't really living." Take a listen to Through the Motions, and get ready for the change.
