But when he met my mom, he broke up with the girl and pursued a long-distance relationship with my mom. When I was growing up in Ardsley, my brother and I used to rehearse with our rock/pop & later jazz groups in our family room. True love exists, and it's the one thing worth fighting for. My dad fell for my mom, but she wasn't having it. My parents complement each other, and they balance each other out. Jean, This person will be fine. In addition to the walk down musical “Memory Lane”, the image of your dad sitting on the bench in Scarsdale village was so right on. These are the things I've learned: My parents act like they're best friends. However, it still swings and stands up with the best. Time stands still when You're all alone. You can't ignore the parts that will test your patience and love. So needless to say, when you listen to my recording in the audio player on the right you’ll hear the optimistic, joyful, upbeat and lighthearted treatment that I gave to a song that that has become one of my favorites. They both trusted each other, and that's why they're still in love today. They both tried and did what was best for their relationship and family. I don't think too many couples could do that and still like each other. In my “classical” i.e. Our personalized piano lessons are always focused on helping you learn to play the music you love! They know all of each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they have become an unstoppable team. Why not get the guidance you need to help you really play the piano (or keyboard)? Times get tough. They don't act lovey-dovey because the honeymoon ended a long time ago, but you can still see how happy they are when they're with each other. The type of love described in this wonderful standard is really timeless. Don't ever act like someone else just to be what your SO wants. Ed, Your email address will not be published. I can't wait to have that. I don't think either would have made it through without the other. One of the songs that made them famous was called Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? She replied that “Well, when he’s playing that piano, there could be a hurricane, a tornado and a terrorist attack and he absolutely would not notice!”. You can't leave your problems at the door at the end of a tough day. Life throws curveballs constantly. Now is the time to act! Marrying someone comes with a whole lot more than just the person. If you live in or near Hudson, Stow, Bolton, Northborough, Marlborough, Harvard, Berlin, Clinton, Lancaster or Shrewsbury, you are just minutes away from our centrally located Hudson Piano Studio location. I love the story you told about your dad. I love the story about your Dad. My father was doing his part-time accounting work in the same room. Kris, My father is the kind of man I want to marry. They got by with love, support and respect for one another. My mother is the kind of woman I aspire to be. Glad you enjoyed the article. Usually, they're 90-mph-plus curveballs to the face. Always delighted to include mention/links to your work. You need to have a solid support system to back you up on the days where you just need a break. When I last gigged (bass in a cocktail trio back in the 60s) I tried to keep as many of those songs on our list as possible. And it stands still when we’re in pure admiration, in awe, in wonder, in adoration. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Whether you fall in love in 2012 or your great-great grandfather was falling in love in 1912, time stands still.

Interestingly enough, one of the tracks on my Rhapsody Music playlist is from an album that came out around the same time that the Chicago song became a hit. In those moments we stand outside of ourselves, in the purest form of love that exists. Thanks again, You feel it still God will give you an answer; Time Stands still, you're not alone Ecclesiastes 8:6 / Romans 8:24-25 I can only hope and dream that I have a marriage half as wonderful as theirs.

My parents were so young when they met each other and got married. They've gone through the lowest of lows and the highest of highs together. By Stacey Politis. They are genuinely good people. What a different era these lyrics describe. I’m with them! Everything they did, they did it together. Uprooting is a big deal, and it involves a lot of give and take. I can't say my parents never taught me anything. If you talk to many of our students, especially the adult piano students, they’ll tell you that they enjoy playing the piano so much that time stands still. But, you'd never know what my parents have to deal with on a daily basis, thanks to their friendly faces. One of my father’s favorite pastimes was to sit out in the sun. Both of my parents come from crazy Greek families, and they both were accepting of everything. Don't give too much to someone who doesn't deserve it. Keeping this in mind, it certainly seems like the message of love described in , has a piano parallel which is absolutely apropos.
