Falling in Love with Jim Brickman: Love of my Life


Falling in Love with Jim Brickman: Love of my Life

Jim Brickman was always a favorite. The piano, the lyrics and the rest is considered history-in-the-making with his genius-of-a-composition that captures the hearts of many. One in particular is Love of My Life.

It was a copy of Jim Brickman’s concert where I first heard this song. This was one of those songs that would definitely find people falling in love all over again. There was such directness in complimenting the love and passion towards a certain person as manifested in the lyrics. The delivery of the song was also a plus factor with such vocals used fully to express the need to assure devotion. It was also the simplicity of the song that gave the magnetism to pull so many to give it praise.

It’s a perfect wedding song for those who wish to have a blissful ceremony. The softness of the singer’s intro and the rise of the tone as it enters the chorus gave the gusto that find people sighing with contentment to the whole song showing off power rather than the annoying show-off high pitching that that is usually done in other songs (which is usually accompanied by the falsetto).

The totality of a Jim Brickman can really make anyone fall in love all over again. This song brings more than just the usual gusto but the emotions needed to feel the passion in admiring and loving someone.

Music Recommends:Need To Be Next To You By


Music Recommends: Need to be Next To You by Leigh Nash

There will be a time, especially in girl’s life, that when it comes to entering a relationship self denial is definitely present. For the 2000 film Bounce, Leigh Nash of Sixpense none the richer sang the theme song Need to be next to you.

Perfect for the mending hearts and those that wishes to love again (and also for those who can’t seem to get over past loves that hinders their bloom for another—geez!!!) Leigh Nash’s song, plus the movie, is a good treat.

It may be last 2000 yet this feel good music which incorporates good lyrics and melody still can get that heart beat racing for romance. We have all given ourselves the denial to get into that loving feeling. At times past experiences in family or former flings get us into thinking that enough is enough yet let’s face it: this song can definitely change a person’s mind.

A good song is usually composed of truth: this song is what I would say a wake up for those who have locked themselves from reality (and that include me) that there is still something better than the past. A background check on every person always has this experience and everyone who has gone through it and passed with flying colors will surely agree that denying oneself the right to be happy with the person who has made them grow.

The song was composed by American songwriter, Dianne Warrem, for Leigh Nash’s debut single. It was recorded while Leigh was still in the mainstream of her band Sixpense None the Richer whose popular songs include Kiss Me and She’s All That. The song was included in the soundtrack of Don Roos’ 2000 film Bounce which fits perfectly well to the story.

It talks about giving oneself a chance to love again, to feel alive, and to be real. And even if you really can’t relate to it, the feel-good beat of the music is something worth listening to anyway. There’s no denying that it is a people finder—searching for those who have lost their courage on loving and risking.
