Large Fierce Mammal

Last night Mrs. LFM and I were watching Billy Joel night on American Idol, meaning that each contestant had to choose and perform a song from the Billy Joel play list. We’re both fans of the man himself, and I was delighted to hear a performance of one of my all time favourites – his 1981 hit, She’s Got a Way. Delighted and surprised to learn that Mrs. LFM had never heard the song before. Hearing it with her snuggled up to me last night was like hearing it for the first time myself, seasoned to taste by the fact that 31 years ago I still believed that such women were merely the stuff of romantic legend.

She’s Got a Way was a hit the year before Mrs. LFM was born, and yet it sounds like he wrote it about her. Turn up your volume, sit back, and get yet another glimpse of how it can be when you truly Love a woman, and find your Love returned in kind.
