this link below will take you to Whitney Houston's "Waiting to Exhale" video. The music video (and the movie) was directed by Forest Whitaker back in 1995, some 11 years before he won an oscar for his role as Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin in the 'King of Scotland'.
Both the movie and the music video are rather cheesy to say the least. But hey I thought with the title of my blog writing today (Waiting to Exhale and Hoping for Cheese) that it seemed to be fitting! And by now you've figured out that despite what I may try to project as a writer I gravitate to cheese quite easily.
Hmmm to quote Shakespeare...."The Lady Doth Protest too Much"!
By the way, the song was written for Whitney by Kenny Edmonds, who would pen many of her and other artists hits in the 90's before moving on with his solo career later in the decade. The 90's hair is present and so are clips from the movie of the same name. Whitney costarred in the movie with Angela Bassett which didn't make a huge impact. I think the song and the lyrics are still worthy of a listen.
Waiting to Exhale. Lyrics By Kenny Edmonds (aka Babyface)
Everyone falls in love sometime
Sometimes it's wrong and sometimes it's right
For every win Someone must fail
But there comes a point
When we exhale
Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's
When you've got friends to wish you well
You'll find a point when
You will exhale
Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's answers to your prayers
If you're searching for a place you know
A familiar face
Somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there
Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's
When you've got friends to wish you well
You'll find a point when
You will exhale
