Brandy

I’m sorry I missed this song when it first came out.  It was around for close to twenty years before my son introduced me to it.  It’s a simple tale of a woman devoted to a man who is devoted to the sea though he loves the woman as well.
 Ah, the sea!  I can relate to his devotion to the sea.  At every turn of my life the water draws me to it, which odd because until recently I couldn’t even float in it and I was raised in the country.  Still I love to be in the water, on the water, or just near the water.  It is my sanctuary, my solitude, and my soul of inspiration.
 I also relate to Brandy.  She has found her love and can see no other.  From the song we know she is sociable and appreciated by many, but her heart, mind, soul, and body belongs to only one. What a wonderful feeling that is and though many profess it few could sustain under the circumstances of the song. 
 There is another reason this song stirs memories within me.  I am a writer of stories as is my son.  Both of us have had our imaginations stirred by this song and inspired other stories.  My son has said many times he is going to write Brandy’s full story someday.  I can’t wait to read it.  In the meantime I listen and find peace in the song.  You will find Brandy playing along with other related songs on my space if you care to stop by.
