"There's nothing fancy about the way I love you, there's nothing you couldn't find in any other man. There's nothing fancy about the way I love you. I love you as hard as I can.
There's no good reason for the way you love me. You're my walking dream come true. There's no good reason for the way you love me, but I thank God you do. I don't know a perfect conversation. I don't know the way to turn her head. And I don't know a perfect way to prove my love, but I do know I'll love you till I'm dead.
There's nothing fancy about the way I love you. Simple as the stars in the sky or the blue in the sea. Nothing fancy about the way I love, but it sure is fancy how you love me. Sure is fancy how you love me."
Those are the lyrics to Nothing fancy by one of my favorite artist, Dave Barnes. As a single girl I think it's easy to get caught up in the "fairytale" ideas of love. Even if you are not willing to admit it we are all waiting for Prince Charming to come sweeping in with some grand gesture to prove his love, or Ryan Phillipe standing at the top of the escalator in the subway with flowers crying. Deep down you know that's never going to happen. I think that's why I love this song so much. Because it's about a serious love without a bunch of flowery words or gestures. I want that kind of love....

that's funny that you should post this today. i just had to do a research paper on feminism and I chose to write about "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin (very short story) and "Cinderella" by Anne Sexton. Sexton's version of Cinderella is funny, go look it up if you haven't already read it. I think my english teacher is a lesbian because this whole entire semester she's been non stop talk about feminism. which there is nothing wrong with that.
but yes, you are right, even if we aren't willing to admit it, we all want that prince charming to come and find us with a glass slipper. we want what we see in movies, and dang it, why can't it happen??!!
i'll have to go look that song up, never heard of it before.
