What is Musical Mondays?
Musical Mondays is a weekly linky party where we share a song we're into for the week, and talk about why we like it-or why it effects us. Along with talking about music, I host a (usually) month-long music related giveaway. This month I'm going to do 4 separate giveaways, one a week-each for a different CD I love! Read on to learn more and check out this week's song/giveaway!
This Week's Song
Who You Love
by John Meyer & Katie Perry
You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
My girl, she aint the one that I saw commin'
Sometimes I don't know which way to go
And I tried to run before but I'm not running anymore
Because I fought against it hard enough to know
That you love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
Oh you can't make yourself stop dreamin' who you're dreamin' of
If it's who you love, then it's who you love
My boy, he aint the one that I saw comin'
But some have said his hearts too hard to hold
And it takes a little time but you should see him when he shines
Because you'd never want to let that feeling go
When you love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
Yeah you love who you love, who you love
Oh you can't make yourself stop dreamin' who you're dreamin' of
If it's who you love, then it's who you love
Oh you love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
Oh you can't make yourself stop dreamin' who you're dreamin' of
If it's who you love, then it's who you love
It's who you love
Who you love, who you love, who you love
Yeah, oh oh yeah
You're the one I love
I've never been the biggest John Mayer fan, but when I heard this on the radio I knew right away that I had to get this single. It helps that I am a Katy Perry fan. This song is really simple, but the message is very clear-you can't force yourself to not love someone you love. While I feel like maybe they're portraying that "I love him/her even if you don't agree with it" vibe, the message to me (and isn't that the best thing about music? That you can take it and relate it to your life?) is that even if you can't have someone you want-it's okay to still love them.
You didn't force yourself to love them. You can't force yourself not to.
So in that spirit-just accept it. Accept that even if that person can't be yours, or even if they hurt you/broke your heart beyond belief, it's okay to go on loving them. Having them in your life may be another story-and that's up to you to decide whether you keep them around or cut ties for your own well-being, but it's okay to go on loving them. While definitely not in-love with my exes, I probably love every person I've ever loved still, and part of me already will. I'm just fine with that.

The Giveaway
Since I didn't really want to give away the whole John Mayer Paradise Valley album, as I only really like the one song, I'm giving away a $10 gift card to Amazon-so you can go choose an album, or songs, or anything really that you want! Giveaway ends 12/30/13 at 12AM. Open Worldwide. See last week's winner HERE.
