I am obsessed.

Has it ever happened to you that you lose track of a song and then rediscover it years later? Oh and it feels so good. It's SO GOOD....how could you have ever forgotten about it? Well, that's just happened to me recently. Funnily enough, we were having dinner at WaterStone in Lynchburg (love that place) last month and it was playing on the restaurant speakers. I couldn't believe my ears. I LOVE THAT SONG. As soon as I got back home, I downloaded that sucker on ITunes. And I have played it almost every single day since. Not once, not twice, but OVER AND OVER (....) AGAIN. And LOUD. And I belt the lyrics out until I am just about hoarse. My poor dogs. They have sensitive ears. They must be SO TIRED of this song. They look at me like I'm half crazy. If they could talk, I'm sure they would say something like, "Mom, you are off your trolley". When it comes to music, I am pretty consistent....if there's a good quality song that deals with unrequited love or getting your heart stomped on, I will pretty much love it. I have a very tall guy named Jeff to thank for that. If you've never had your heart really broken, you will not be able to appreciate this song like the rest of us. But, if you have and you know what real hurt feels like, I recommend the below. It will add at least a few hours to your life. It is better than even the very best therapy. What a truly beautiful and sad song. A real classic. My poor husband doesn't even know it. But me.......I love it.

1.) Google "Misunderstanding lyrics"
2.) Click on "Play song from Lala.com" in blue font.
3.) Adjust your speakers to play as loudly as possible.
4.) Sing at the top of your lungs. Lyrics below.
5.) Allow yourself to crack up laughing at your God awful singing voice.
6.) Feel free to look around every once in a while to make sure no one else is listening. But this is much more effective if you do it when no one else is home.
7.) It feels better if you play some guitar on the side of your leg.
8.) Repeat, as necessary.
9.) Tell me it doesn't feel damn good.

You can thank me later. How could I have lost this song? If I were a famous singer, I would remake this song.

Note to self: Add this song to the list of "All Things English" that you love.

LYRICS:
There must be some misunderstanding.
There must be some kind of mistake.
I waited in the rain for hours.
And you were late.

Now it's not like me to say the right thing.
But you could've called to let me know.
I checked your number twice, don't understand it.
So I went home.

Well I've been waiting for this weekend.
I thought that maybe we could see a show.
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling.
Ah but seeing you is believing.
That's why I don't know why you didn't show up that night.

Oh there must be some misunderstanding.
There must be some kind of mistake.
I was waiting in the rain for hours.
And you were late.

Since then I've been running around trying to find you.
I went to the places that we always go.
I rang your house but got no answer.
Jumped in my car. I went round there.
I still don't believe it.
He was just leaving.

Oh there must be some misunderstanding.
There must be some kind of mistake.
There must be some misunderstanding.
Yes, there must be some kind of mistake.
There must be, there must be oh oh.
Misunderstanding.
There must be, there must be oh oh.
A misunderstanding.
