There are so many songs that sing about the many phases of love including love ending. In Diana Ross' "Missing You" she sings about a love she lost abruptly. Throughout the song she declares how she misses someone who left her life, but she doesn't know why. In the first verse she sings, "...Trying to understand the reason you left me. What were you going through?" She goes on to sing how she misses them and wondered where things changed, "Tell me why the road turns."
Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've been away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand the reason you left me What were you going through?
When you're missing someone everything around you, even the smallest of things reminds you of that person. And you usually remember the good things and it makes you smile. But then you become sad because there is still a lingering question of why. That is what Ross seeks to understand throughout the song. In the second verse she sings, "I still recall all those dreams we shared together. Where did you run to, boy?"
As I look around, I see things that remind me Just to see you smile made my heart fill with joy I still recall all those dreams we shared together Where did you run to, boy?
By the bridge of the song Ross realizes that she has to face the truth of this relationship. She expresses how they let time slip away. The first part of the song she spends the entire time questioning why things ended the way they did but neither of them ever did anything about it and now so much time has passed. She has to accept something she's feared which is they were never meant to be together and never will have a chance to see what their love could have been.
I've cried so many tears (oh)
Gotta face now all my fears (oh)
We let time slip away
I need you, boy, here today
Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've been away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand the reason you left me What were you going through?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns
As I look around, I see things that remind me Just to see you smile made my heart fill with joy I still recall all those dreams we shared together Where did you run to, boy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns
Sometimes I've wondered, I didn't understand Just where you were tryna go, only you knew the plan And I tried to be there, but you wouldn't let me in But now you've gone away, boy
I feel so broken-hearted (oh) I knew the day we started That we were meant to be If only you'd let me
I've cried so many tears (oh) Gotta face now all my fears (oh) We let time slip away I need you, boy, here today
There was so much you gave me to my heart, to my soul There was so much of your dreams that were never told You had so much hope for a brighter day Why were you, my flower, plucked away?
Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh, I'm missing you) Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns)
Tell me, tell me why (ooh-ooh, I'm missing you) Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) Oh, don't understand it (ooh-ooh, I'm missing you) Ah-hah, can you hear me, baby?
Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) (Ooh-ooh, I'm missing you)
Unlocking Your Inner Magic: Lessons from Dr. CC's Transformative Workshop Embracing M.A.G.I.C. at the "Leaning Into Your M.A.G.I.C." Workshop Happy Thursday, Queen Connect Readers! On June 19th, I had the transformative experience of attending Dr. Christi Culpepper-Walker’s "Leaning Into Your M.A.G.I.C" virtual workshop. This event was a powerful reminder of the importance of self-empowerment, self-love, and showing up for oneself. It was designed to help women discover and lean into their M.A.G.I.C.—an acronym for Mannerisms, Attitude, Genuineness, Identity, and Core Values. These elements, she explained, are key to walking out our purpose with boldness and authenticity. Discovering My Own Magic The workshop was not just a series of lectures; it was an interactive journey of self-discovery. Dr. CC, as she is affectionately known, emphasized the critical message of showing up for oneself—a message that resonated deeply with many women, including myself....
