Song 4: Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)
My heart beat so fast when I read the message that came in from a certain somebody. It read ‘I was wondering maybe, I could make you my baby. We could do the unthinkable cos if you ask me I’m ready’. Never in all my life till that moment had I ever considered eloping until I read this message {ok…that is a fat lie….what, with all these cinderella stories on tv….why wouldn’t I dream of going away with Ian Somerhalder, ehn??..hiss}.
My heart beat so fast and I smiled like Garfield does after he’s been well fed and lazing about. Could he mean this and how are we going to do it? All kinds of thoughts were racing through my mind. Oh, we could go to the cayman islands and have a discreet marriage..Oh but my mum would have a heart attack..and papa would be so grieved. Oh I cant do this..but I can, I should do it. Never done anything crazy in my entire life..this would be fun but really really crazy..Mum and dad would be disappointed and blah blah blah…
Initially, it did not occur to me to ask the ‘mofo’ what he meant by all of that..I was too excited to care. I could picture myself in my Vera Wang appliquéd lace (Victorian) gown…oo lalala..and my groom standing tall beside the priest with a huge smile on his face {just like mine above..hehehehe} with all the love, joy and pride in the world reflected in his eyes as he watches me walk down the aisle to him…{kai…M&B did me something sha…smh}..I daydreamed for good 5 mins before common sense took over. Immediately I replied the message with ‘What do you mean by that?’ and he replied saying it was a song he was listening to that made him think of me and then he realized he wanted it too. My heart swelled some more. Then he asked if we could do it. My reply? “E be like say you want make I kill my parents ba? No we can’t. As sweet and romantic as it seems, my Love, I no fit”. He laughed and said of course he knew we couldn’t.
Anyway, all that na gist but it did get me thinking. Could I really elope with a guy and get married? Would it be a sin if I did it? I must tell you, I had to google ‘bible references concerning eloping’ o. Oh Yes I did..my life is tuned like that, If I no sure whether e go be sin I de commit, I de google am sharp sharp..{if you like laff, that one concern you}. In as much as people did not encourage eloping, like they said ‘the union is to be shared by family’, there was nothing wrong with the act and there was no reference in the bible about it being wrong {if you think or know otherwise, pls share biko}. I sat and researched this issue and also researched the song. The part of the song that really got me thinking was “Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?” Really, what is the point of waiting for what you know is meant to be? Life is short, we should live it like it was the last. Why wait another moment for something that might eventually be? Why not do it all now, while we still have the chance? This is all me thinking o…{that is why I like ndi ocha, when they want something, they go for it. No dulling or time wasting or over analyzing things. Maybe that’s why they have too many divorces..onye mma(who knows)?}. hmmmmm, I wish my life was that adventurous and I could just be that spontaneous. Well, I still got time to make changes abi?
Ok, so I listened to the song and fell in love with it. Alicia Keyes is a very deep musician and I completely love her and her music. So follow me enjoy this song!
Alicia Keys – Unthinkable
Moment of honesty
Someone’s gotta take the lead tonight
Who’s it gonna be?
I’m gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
(You should say it right now)
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
(I deserve it, I think it deserve it..Let it go)
It’s becoming something that’s impossible to ignore
And I can’t take it
(I can’t take it)
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I’m ready
(Echo: I’m ready, I’m ready)
If you ask me I’m ready
(Echo: I’m ready, I’m ready)
Verse 2:
I know you once said to me
“This is exactly how it should feel when it’s meant to be”
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?
If we gon’ do something ’bout it
We should do it right now
(We should do it right now)
Baby, uh
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
(I deserve it, I know I deserve it. Let it go)
Its becoming something that’s impossible to ignore
It’s what we make it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I’m sayin’
If you ask me I’m ready
(Echo: I’m ready I’m ready)
If you ask me I’m ready
(Echo: I’m ready)
Yeah, sing…
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can’t say I came prepared
I’m suspended in the air
Won’t you come be in the sky with me
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I’m sayin’
If you ask me I’m ready
