Weekend Inspiration: Baby Making Music by Luther Vandross

By Sicebise Msengana








Have you ever been in love? How does it feel to  constantly think about someone special?

Love can make us do CRAZY things at times. Scientific research has proven that love can make us act in ways that we would not normally do because of the feelings of love.
This can make you do bizarre things because you are not making logical decisions. You may do things that are unsafe or stupid stunts.

"To obtain an imagined “unity-in-love”, so that the self and the other are merged, this process of mentalizing, and thus distinguishing between self and the other, must be rendered inactive. But critical judgment of others is also often suspended with the trust that develops between individuals and certainly with the deep bonding that develops between a mother and her child. Here, then, is a neural basis not only for saying that love is blind, but for the concept of “unity-in-love”. It is not surprising that we are often surprised by the choice of partner that someone makes, asking futilely whether they have taken leave of their senses. In fact, they have. Love is often irrational because rational judgments are suspended or no longer applied with the same rigour."
-- S Zeki, The neurobiology of love, 2007. 

 I once sang this song over the phone to my ex-girlfriend; trying to be ROMANTIC and wishing her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.


The name of the song is "If Only For One Night" by Luther Vandross.

Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near
To ease away your fear
It would be so nice
If only for one night
I won't tell a soul
No one has to know
If you want to be totally discreet
I'll be at your side
If only for one night
Your eyes say things i never hear from you
And my knees are shakin too
But i'm willin to go thru
I must be crazy
Standin in this place
But i'm feeling no disgrace
For asking...
Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near
To ease away your fear
It would be so nice
If only for one night
I tell you what i need is
One night, one night oh (and oh, oh)
What i need is
One night, one night
Of your love, of you love, of your lovin ooh
I'm asking...
Let me take you home
To keep you safe and warm
Till the early dawn
Warms up to the sun
It would be so nice if only for one night
If only for one night
If only for one night
If only for one night, night, night, yeah one night
If only for one... night
