Every two weeks, an intrepid group of bloggers participate in something called a Blog Off. We share our take on the same topic on the same day. Today's topic is If you could stop the world for one day, what would you take the time to do?Well I'm not really sure what that means but I can tell you that since I found out about the topic all I can think of is a little ditty by the 80s group Modern English. It's called I Melt with You. Click here for convenient YouTube video. I know the chorus begins with "I'll stop the world and melt with you." SO I decided to head on over to Google for the rest of the lyrics. Maybe there would be some clue there about what to write."I Melt With You"Moving forward using all my breathMaking love to you was never second bestI saw the world thrashing all around your faceNever really knowing it was always mesh and laceI'll stop the world and melt with youYou've seen the difference and it's getting better all the timeThere's nothing you and I won't doI'll stop the world and melt with youDream of better lives the kind which never hateDropped in the state of imaginary graceI made a pilgrimage to save this human raceNever comprehending a race that long gone byI'll stop the world and melt with youYou've seen the difference and it's getting better all the timeThere's nothing you and I won't doI'll stop the world and melt with youThe future's open wideI'll stop the world and melt with youI've seen some changes but it's getting better all the timeThere's nothing you and I won't doI'll stop the world and melt with youWhat I found was a whole lot of optimism, just what we need in our stressed and distressed world. I don't think we need to stop the world but maybe we just need to stop, not even for a whole day, but just once in a while for a few minutes. We I go go go and in the going sometimes we I lose the point. So today I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna be here now and I'm gonna hold a positive thought for this world of ours. If we all did that maybe it would make it better...Join me?
