Recently on one of my daily jaunts to curled.up.com to check out the new book reviews, I noticed the banner for veryshortlist.com. I signed up. Today they recommended a band that I already love. Bell X-1 I hesitated to sign up for any more email alerts. So far I love this daily email. Always something I’m truly interested in or have never heard of and that’s wonderful.

I love this Bell X-1 tune. I secretly consider it I and Rick’s love song. I would always see his heart and raise him mine. He’s the only man that has ever made me “want” to get over my “arms length” disease and truly love without abandon. Sure I sometimes still have issues but nowhere near what they were. I love this song. Go download it for 99 cents and try it. Rick is always the card up my sleeve…always. This song ranks up there in my personal top ten best tunes ever and it’s also on my top ten songs no one but me seems to know about.  I also love the idea of the devil playing poker with an angel…call me crazy.

I’ll See Your Heart and I’ll Raise You Mine

What’s with the angel
and what’s with the devil
They keep swapping shoulders
and I can’t tell which from which
“Will you be my Kris kindle?
Will you be my better nature?”
says one to the other
But I think they’re only showing off

I caught them playing poker
and I think it was the devil who said
“I’ll see your heart
and I’ll raise you mine”

Yea, they keep swapping shoulders
I think there’s something going on
“Will you be my sweet pea?
Will you be the card up my sleeve?”
says one to the other
and this time they hold their gaze
for too long

Now they’re playing poker
and this time it’s the angel who says
“I’ll see your heart
and I’ll raise you mine”

This is the story of the angel
who played poker with the devil
in the Garden of Eden
before it all went pear shaped

They said
“I’ll see your heart
and I’ll raise you mine”
