This song transports me back in time. Those nights when I would just lay in bed with the lights off, and the radio playing this song softly. If my memory serves me right, those were Sunday nights at 9pm, and the program was Dr. Love hosted by DJ Carlo Sanchez of RX 93.1.
I was a hopeless romantic. I had my priorities set straight but when it comes to heart matters, I over-analyze with a song in the background. I even wrote my hand-written letters to friends with a footnote or a heading indicating the song that currently played when I was composing the notes. That was my trademark.
The daring thing I did was to send a note to Dr. Love. And boy, was it featured with this song played by the DJ! I requested it because it appropriately described my feelings at that time, all those lovely pent-up emotions brewing within me. But nobody knew. Particularly not that ONE. I was too afraid it could be unrequited. Besides, was I ready for it?
The next daring thing I did was to send another note. This time to Joe D' Mango. Hahaha! His program was a hit. It was aired on late Friday mornings. I was so happy. The DJ read both of the notes that I sent on different dates! The first one was this song, and the other time it was Only Reminds Me of You.
Those were the simple days of youth. When one should tune in and record on tape favorite songs on the radio. There were no online links to access the replay. No Facebook Live. No YouTube or Podcast. But the '90s teens were happy.
Thanks to Angela Bofill. This song is a testament to the complex yet simple years. For me, those were the years 1993 to 1995. You should know by now.
