"Italian Summer" ~ I'm Sappy & I LOVE IT!

[mikebise]

Yep, just a few lines, and it's already in my TOP Stevie songs of ALL~TIME!

I cried for an hour after Babe, it was so sweet, it broke my heart, leaving me wondering why we aren't all loving to each other all of the time. Same with Sea Biscuit, when Tobey said you don't throw away something just because it's old or broken. Same with Brokeback Mountain, after Heath's daughter leaves at the end, and he's alone and the camera pans to Jake's shirt still there in his presence. Sorry, I guess I'm a sucker for those kinds of things.

Stevie's voice in those two lines... THAT NOTE... does the same thing to me. My dog Dino is wondering what's wrong, I start crying at a moment's notice, remembering that song.

Thanks, Stevie, for reminding me to FEEL those emotions, and not cut them off.
