Dont Wanna Lose You

No one can downplay the healing power of music or listening to one’s favorite song.

By chance I stumbled across Gloria Estefan’s music video for her song “Don’t Wanna Lose You”. The song has always been one of my favorites, but unfortunately I had never seen the video until yesterday.

To be honest it is one of those tunes that made me feel in love even though I am as single and as lonely as could be. Call me pathetic if you chose but honestly it is one of those songs that makes me long for romance and love. Maybe it’s the passion with which Gloria sang.

However, seeing the video was the icing on the cake for me. The grayscale made everything look like a dream, added to the surreal manner in which the well toned and sculpted dancers glided across the sand.

The emotions of the strong lyrics kept being accurately depicted by the dances as they clung, pulled and moved in unison. Somehow one couldn’t help getting the feeling that they got whenever you watched one of those old love stories….this video had it all from the familiar light house to the rustling grass---everything that epitomizes serenity. Like I said Gloria’s sweet voice is the icing on the cake.
