I do want to know what love is and I immediately fell in love with this song when I first heard the lyrics that are vulnerable and open. This is a song that I've listened to over decades now and it still makes me want to turn it up when the first chords are struck. Foreigner is a popular British-American rock band that released, "I Want To Know What Love Is" in 1984, two years after I was born.
I was watching an episode of Modern Family and one of the main characters, Phil Dumphy wanted to surprise his wife with a song at the school's fundraiser. However, he begins to have second thoughts after having to follow up a great performance by a member of the "Dadbeats." When Phil was called to the stage, he ended up calling out some random letters and numbers of a nonexistent car as if he was up there to make an announcement. Watching this episode made me go find it on my playlist and I put it on repeat for days.
… I've gotta take a little time A little time to think things over I better read between the lines In case I need it when I'm older
… This mountain, I must climb Feels like a world upon my shoulders Through the clouds, I see love shine Keeps me warm as life grows colder
… In my life, there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again Can't stop now, I've traveled so far To change this lonely life
… I wanna know what love is I want you to show me I wanna feel what love is I know you can show me (hey)
… Gotta take a little time Little time to look around me I've got nowhere left to hide Looks like love has finally found me
… In my life, there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again Can't stop now, I've traveled so far To change this lonely life
… I wanna know what love is I want you to show me I wanna feel what love is I know you can show me
… I wanna know what love is (I wanna know) I want you to show me (I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is (I know, I know, and I know) I know you can show me Let's talk about love
… I wanna know what love is (Love that you feel inside) I want you to show me (I'm feeling so much love) I wanna feel what love is (And you know, you just can't hide) I know you can show me
… Oh, I wanna know what love is (Let's talk about love) I know you can show me (I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is (And you know you just can't hide) I know you can show me I wanna feel what love is (oh, I wanna know) I want you to show me
No Earthly Good Available on Amazon What happens when faith no longer fits the shape you were given? When love requires boundaries? When legacy feels more dangerous than divine? No Earthly Good is a fearless, reflective exploration of belief, sacrifice, love, judgment, family, legacy, and acceptance, told through lived experience rather than doctrine. With honesty and spiritual maturity, Candace L. Smith interrogates the ideas we are taught to revere and asks what they cost us when left unexamined. This book is not a rejection of God, love, or community, it is a reckoning with how they are practiced.
