You'll keep me standing tall You'll help me through it all I'm always strong when you're beside me

Artist- Peter Cetera
Song of the day- Glory of Love

Today I finished my psych rotation and I must say it was intense, sometimes scary but I'm going to miss it. I learned so much and was still left with so many questions about the human mind but was installed with a strong passion and respect for mental illness and all the people I met during these 5 weeks. But today's song goes out to my most kick ass clinical group who watched my back, redirected intense conversations, walked with me into situations we had no idea how to prepare for (sometimes naked situations, sometimes scary situations, sometimes hilarious situations) and all around make what could have been an overwhelming clinical quite enjoyable. So here's to ya'll and anyone else out there who just kicks all kind of ass, both therapeutically and literally!



Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

You'll keep me standing tall
You'll help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love

Love, like a road that never ends How it leads me back again To heartache

Artist- Peter Cetera & Amy Grant
Song of the day- Next time I fall

I've gotta say that as much as I love the city of Chicago, I might just love the band Chicago even more. I don't know if any man has a more distinct singing voice than Peter Cetara and besides Don Henley in the 80's few others were milking their duet abilities than Cetera. I have a special place in my heart for this duet with Amy Grant who was the closest thing to a rockstar for many a christian kid back in the day. I really have no idea what this song is implying, if it's getting back together with an old lover, or telling an unassuming stranger you're about to fall in love with them. Nor do I understand what the video is trying to say with it's interpretive dance, Grant's windowpane angst or Cetera's bangs. But it is about learning from one's past, how heartache can teach us something about ourselves and how we're able to grow from it and declare our love to unassuming strangers...ok maybe not always the last part. But here's to a littler growth for next time, whatever or whenever next time may be for you today!



Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart upon the shelf
'Til the moment was right
And I tell myself...

(Chorus:)
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Oh, now, as I look into your eyes
Well, I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight
Ooh, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
Into this heart of mine

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
Next time, I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try

(Repeat chorus)

Next time I fall in love
Oh, whoa, oh
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
