Image via Wikipedia - Olfactory System.The Isleys' most seductive, delicate romantic ballad: "For The Love Of You." Pure grace in a hypnotic induction.Listen for the effortlessly easy voice of Ron Isley, the gentle harmonies of the background voices, and especially the signature syth riff, which lilts through the song, sweetly and hauntingly.
When I first heard this song, it was playing on the car radio. It was a summer's night, not too humid but warm, and I was driving with the windows open, the wonderful fragrances of night-blooming jasmine, jonquil and honeysuckle. (I've found that fragrances -- processed through my olfactory system -- tend to bring powerful, emotionally-charged memories back in stunningly clear multisensorial detail --- music has a similarly magical effect, but with a bit less of an intial powerful emotional charge until I've listened for a few verses).
As I listened, I realized that I was falling in love with a girl who didn't even know that I really cared. All I could think of was how I wanted to just drive up to her house, knock on the door (it was very, very late) and tell her. I had a powerful picture in mind of her coming to the door (wearing a plaid bathrobe, coming out onto the front porch and rubbing her sleepy eyes, but smiling and delighted with the surprise)... and saying, "You do? Really? Oh, God. Me too."
I should have done it while I was in the thrall of the hypnotic song -- but I didn't want to chance doing something so impulsive. It was my loss. Our first impulses tell us of our truest feelings, even the ones which we hide from ourselves. If they don't lead to suicide, homicide, physical injury, harm or arrest, well, then you'd better act on them...or spend your life feeling unfulfilled and incomplete.
Sometimes stupidity is the intelligent choice. I should have just done it. Then.
