It’s Friday, and that means it’s time to create an air of love, passion and understanding to officially kick start our weekend. How do we do that? Simple. By creating a group playlist that expresses the joyous highs of love. Easy enough, right?

I’ll start it off, and as you submit songs, I’ll add them to the playlist throughout the day. I’m pretty tight on my music game, but if you think there’s something that I don’t have, then email it to me at flyguychronicles@gmail.com

Check back in throughout the day to see where we end up. Enjoy.

As we head into the weekend, I thought I’d give you a special video edition of our audio love segment. Here are a few songs that articulate a wide range of emotions that I’m sure we’ve all experienced at some point on our relationship journey. So enjoy the music, and have a great weekend.

I Love Someone Else

Stay With Me

I Miss You

Get Your Act Together

Let’s switch roles for a moment because I really need to discuss something with you. (Yeah, I’m stepping out of Fly Guy mode for just a sec.) You see, there’s this special someone that I’ve cared about for as long as I can remember. And honestly, if you would have asked me a few years back, I probably would have told you that I’d love her forever.

But things have a way of changing over time. Before I realized what was happening, she had gone from being the apple of my eye, to just an eye sore. Listen, I know my feelings shouldn’t be based on her physical attributes alone, but what if the change in her appearance is so drastic that I no longer recognize the person I initially fell for? Anyway, I can’t form the words to tell her that I want out, so if you happen to run into her, please relay this message. That’s right; I’m taking the coward way out on this one…

She was my queen…

But then I woke up one day and she was Tyrone Biggums

Fly Question- Tell me about a time when you lost interest in someone, and your decision was strictly based on their physical appearance. How did you break the news to them? Did you tell the truth, or make up some other reason?

You know what’s truly sad? The long term effect that a broken heart can have. The once proud love enthusiast can forever be transformed into a shell of their former selves, never to believe in love again. I think Lauryn Hill knows what I’m talking about, as she shares her frustrations in “Lose Myself,” this week’s Fly Lyrics Feature.

The Lyrics

I used to do it for the love a long time ago
And all I ever wanted was love
I used to love without fear a long time ago
And all I ever wanted was love

Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
Took pure love and tried to make it dirty
Truth was that he never did deserve me no…

I had to lose myself
so I could love you better

I had to lose myself
so I could love you better

Lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is

Couldn’t tell me I was loved when I needed it
And all I ever wanted was love
Should have told me because, I’m worth receiving it
And all I ever wanted was love

There’s something awesome about the selflessness it takes to
Give love and the good that it makes you
True love can never really forsake you
But it took a little while just for me to see

I had to lose myself
so I could love you better

I had to lose myself
so I could love you better

Lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is
