I heard this song from way back when. It was mesmerizing as I vividly remember Sade plunged into that body of water. Her body on the water, the fabric extending the angles of the frame, the mermaid, the sad exotic face, the chase, the voice. Damn, that soothing voice. Ughh.

Just yesterday, I grabbed this playlist from a colleague which included this song. Oh, okay, so I thought. Hey, I remember this song. Let me play it once again until it caught me - it was such a not so ordinary love. Yeah, the perils of loving and leaving and staying can really be painful. And you never knew when that pain is vanquished.

I played it once again and googled the lyrics. Then it struck me. Screw love. LoL. No, really, this one love song is for keeps. I'm keeping it in my playlist for a while.. HaHaHa

Uhmm, anyway, love is such a positively beautiful feeling, expression or state of being. So whatever happens in between or before or after that loving is never a negative state. I won't believe it is. Because what we had is no ordinary love.

NO ORDINARY LOVE
Artist (Band): Sade
Words: Sade Adu
Music: Sade Adu and Stuart Matthewman

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying I'm falling
I'm falling
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying and I'm falling
and I'm falling
