If you're listening to Otis Redding croon 'These Arms of Mine' and you're not deeply yearning for your (or a) lover, you're doing it wrong.
Otis was a bloody genius songwriter, and his sweet, soft voice told the story of a lonely man who, speaking from the depth of his soul, wants so much to be with that woman who is not his. He pleads with her, telling her how desperately he wants to hold her and love her.
Damn.
Who doesn't wish they could feel that passion from an admirer?
If you've ever yearned for that special someone from a distance, this song is completely and utterly your anthem. And with Otis, you can never go wrong.
Enjoy...
More Soul in our lives...
...Wish you were here.
