Finally saw this movie and was immediately drawn to the soundtrack. This throwback immediately brought a smile to my face.

"Shower Me With Your Love" by Surface

THROWBACK!

8th Grade Memories...    Man, I used to sing this song with my ALL...fake microphone and everythang...lol.  Like I knew something about love...smh/lol.

Today's Earworm is brought to you by the 80's duo, D-Train.

This is one of those cases where an instrumental "loop" is playing over and over in my head...lol.  It's those two measures (played by the keyboard, I think) right after they say "You're the one for me."  I heard it in a remix a couple of weeks ago...and since then, it randomly pops into my head.

Sidenote:  I always loved their (song) bridges...even though they kinda sound alike...lol. (Think 'Sky is the limit...' on their song "Keep On"...and 'With the love I have inside of me...' on this song.)

"Open Your Eyes" by Bobby Caldwell 

Listening to John Legend's new album "Love In The Future" once again (ha! "Once Again"...y'all see what I did right there?).  I'm definitely enjoying the music...this album is giving me "feels".  Legend does a couple of covers (including a lovely version of Anita Baker's "Angel").  But I couldn't help but revisit the original version of this classic.  Give Bobby his props, y'all!
