When a Man Loves a Woman Can't keep his mind on nothing else
1966 
1994 When a Man Loves a Woman 0:30 is about love so consuming it leaves room for nothing else. She becomes the center of every thought. He would give up everything for her. Sleep on concrete. Sell his only coat. The obsession is total and undeniable.
The question is not whether he loves her. The question is whether she would do the same. Love this deep requires equal measure. Anything less and the whole thing collapses under its own weight.
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul
Stuck on her and glad about it. Cannot move on. She has a hold on him. No desire to escape. Sometimes being stuck is where a person belongs. No need to go anywhere else when already where he wants to be in life.
Dexter Gordon starred in Round Midnight and was nominated for an Oscar -- a jazz saxophonist playing a fictionalized version of himself based on Bud Powell and Lester Young. Herbie Hancock won an Oscar for the score. The title track is the loneliest hour, played by a man who'd lived it.
Round midnight. The song knew the hour. Image Credits
