'00’s Music Spotlight: Charlene by Anthony Hamilton

So a lot of my core memories involve music in some way, which makes sense because I’m a music fanatic. Anyway I was listening to a 90’s R&B station the other day and this song came on and reminded me of a moment I shared with my partner and kid when she was just a few weeks old because this song was playing in the background that day and it’s one of my favorite songs. Anthony Hamilton is an American R&B/Soul singer from Charlotte, North Carolina. The song Charlene is one of Anthony Hamilton’s most popular tracks it was officially released in August of 2004 on his second studio album, “Comin' from Where I'm From”; checkout the video and my favorite lyrics from the track below:

My Favorite Lyrics From Track:

Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote

She said she's tired that I'm always on the road

To hard to swallow being alone

She needs someone at night that she can hold

She must have told me a thousand times before

Silent cries I use to ignore

I won't leave

Promise I'll be here to the very end

By your side

To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life

She knows I really love this old music thing

Since I was a child it's been my dream

But I forgot about loving her

Damn the money, diamonds and pearls

Sometimes I cry

Because my heart is aching
