Musical February : Day 1
I’m a big music fan so thought it might be nice to take part in Bee’s ” Love is in Da Blog” Challenge for the month of February.
I get a free choice today so I’m going with – no great surprise here – one of my favourite Lenny Kravitz tracks. Can’t Get You Off My Mind is a song written and recorded by Lenny, released in February 1996, as the third single from his fourth studio album, Circus (1995).
The song was inspired by Lenny missing his then-girlfriend while being on tour. Also, he missed his mother who had died in December 1995. He explained that he envisioned the song while he stayed at the Royalton hotel in New York.
Lenny said that:
……lyric was not a pastiche, man. It came out of me naturally, just as all my lyrics do. I don’t analyze songwriting, I simply write…… And anyway, when you are on tour a lot, as I was, life is a lonely highway, and I did get lonely out there on the open road, OK?
“Love Is In Da Blog” Rules/suggestions
- Join in! No matter where, when and with what. You missed the first day or week? Don’t worry. Just jump in when it suits you.
- Send us the link! My blog is public again, so ping-backs work. A ping-back is a link from one WP blog to another. If you blog on another platform, please leave your link in the comments.
- Tag your post either with “Love Is In Da Blog” or “LoIsInDaBl” or “Love Is In Da Blog 23” or #LoIsInDaBl23. You can also use these as hashtags for Twitter and other Social Networks to give your post more exposure.
- No matter which music the prompt favours, you create with it whatever you please and whatever length you please (no pun intended 😉 ) as long as it is about “LOVE.”
- I post the prompt post the day before, so you have some time to make up your mind and create your post. There won’t be two different posts, and I hope it’s not too confusing.
- If you like, use this picture for your readers to find the posts.

Nothing since 2018’s Raise Vibration though he has teased that he’s written and recorded three album’s worth of tracks during lockdown. Just waiting for a release date and Tour.
