You Stay Classy

I'm glad I chose the radio station I did on Pandora this morning. I made my Frank Sinatra radio, and I love the artists and music that is coming out of it today. It's mellow but got a nice beat to it. Some of the artists heard on this station are Frank (of course), Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Tony Bennett, and Harry Connick Jr. I liked the songs so much, I am currently writing a list of "Songs to Download" so I can put them on my mp3 player.

I love the swing and jazz sounds from the music, but their voices. Their voices are great. Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr has such great smooth, rich voices that relax you and make you melt. Or at least me anyway. And what they sing about, their lyrics, are so nice. Most are love songs, but they are simple. Deep, emotional love songs that you could just lay, holding your significant other with. Songs you can dance to, songs that make falling in love sound so great.

Too bad men these days aren't like that. Granted, Frank Sinatra had a troubled life, but the way he sings, you would have never guessed. More men should act like men Sinatra sings about, if that makes sense. Boys I should say. I shouldn't lump all men together. But, either way, do you really see guys sing or talk or even romance women like that anymore. Sounds cheesy, and it very well may be for some, but to me, it's so sweet.

Just think about these lyrics from "Embraceable You"

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, my silk-and-lace-able you
Im in love with you, I am and verily so
But youre much too shy, unnecessarily so

I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you

Would a guy really say things like that? Simple, sweet, cute, but oh-so charming? Psh...I've never heard those things, and I will to venture to say many ladies haven't either.

My cousin did something really sweet for his wife. He got a man to come and serenade his wife on their anniversary, very sweet, nice songs. That says many things about him. For one, he's creative. If you can't sing, get a guy who can! (Sorry Dennis, no offense) He put time and thought into a gift, when he could have just given her a necklace or fragrance set (because we all love to be told to take a bath, don't we?) Anyway, just one example of a creative, sweet, romantic way to show how much you care and love someone. Kudos cousin!

My point is, I'd personally like to meet a guy that would do those things. Not to criticize any other guys out there, if it works for you and your lady, hey, keep doing what it is you do.

For me? I want something different. Someone different.
