"If I Can't Have You" What the Lyrics Mean to Me

Yvonne Elliman

 When Yvonne Elliman was singing "If I Can't Have You" in the 70's, looking into my mother's eyes as a child, I didn't think about how I would some day loose her. In 2001, my mother was to suppose to have been dying from breast cancer. I thought about the part that Yvonne sung: Am I strong enough to see it through? I'll go crazy is what I will do. If I can't have you, I don't want nobody...." And I don't want nobody. I thought I would go crazy when my mother died, but I didn't. So far I haven't. I guess I was, and still is thanks to God, strong enough to see it through. When Yvonne sings, "I don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day", I know why. It is God that makes me survive. Though my life has not ended, it seems a part of me is dead. However, I keep on moving on. I keep on living and striving without my mother.  

Donna Summer Last Dance

If this song doesn't want to make you dance in the past, and if it doesn't want to make you dance now, I don't know what to say. I don't know about you, but I can't sit still. Donna Summer's "Last Dance" makes me want to dance forever.

Taylor Dayne _Can't Get Enough of Your Love

"Can't Get Enough of Your Love" is a hit song by Barry White. Taylor Dayne really got down on this remake. She did an awesome job!

Steely Dan_Peg

The words to this song was needed badly from the 70's when I heard it. When I try to find the lyrics on the Internet, it was not easy. I had to hum the song and make up words for the tune to my friends at work. Some of them said, "Hmmm! I know that tune, but I don't know the name of the song." I told them the meaning of the song seemed to be about a model or actress. I sung, "Hey, it will come back to you." Still, no one could remember the name of the song. So I typed into the Google search engine: "I've seen your picture, your name and lights above it.....Hey, it will come back to you." That's when I found out the title of the song was titled Peg.

Earth Wind and Fire_Shinning Star & Groove Tonight

It's funny, but I did not like Earth Wind and Fire's "Shinning Star" until I became an adult. They are really groovin'.

James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti - It's a Man's World

This was a very neat idea. It was neatly done. I enjoyed this video. James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti sound kind of good together. Two great legends.

Paul McCartney_Silly Love Songs

When I was a little girl, I would wake up in the mornings hearing the radio on in the dinning room. It was during the summer when my mother was already up doing housework, and I was still in bed. In my sleep, I would hear, "Silly Love Songs", playing in my dreams by Paul McCartney. When I would wake up and see the sunshine, the song would be playing on the radio. I always loved this song.
