You know this tune right? But have you ever listened to the actual lyrics and the little story? Until about a year ago I never really had. Sure I knew the tune, could kinda hum along and it always made me wanna shake my fanny in the silliest possible way. But I'd never actually listened to the lyrics. Which I have to say is a little unusual for me. I'm alllll about words.
So one night, back when I had a job, I was driving home from work and it came on the radio. I turned it up and actually caught the little story behind Pina Colada's and getting caught in the rain. "huh." I thought. "I never realized that. " and it became an instant favorite for more sentimental reasons.
Its such a cute little story. I guess I can relate, not in that I've ever taken out a personal ad during my relationship, but that we've been together for a long time. And sometimes things can get a little routine I suppose. After seven years, you kinda know all of each other's moves and lines. But this song makes me think of how much I love the boy.
"But its about a couple thats contemplating infidelity?!" says a girlfriend. Which I suppose is true but its that great last bit, " I never knew : That you like Pina Colada's....." Sort of like, if you're with the right person----not matter how many years pass---love can still surprise you. And that's how I feel about my poopie. Just when I think I'm crush proof, he says or does something that surprises me and just like that I love him all over again for the first time.
