Overjoyed I'm overjoyed, over the love that's in your eyes
1985 
2005 Overjoyed 0:30 is about a happiness so complete it becomes overwhelming. He is overjoyed, over the love that is in his heart. The feeling is almost too big to hold. Joy this deep is its own kind of weight.
Not everybody gets to feel this. He knows how rare it is. That is why he keeps saying it out loud ... to make sure it is real, to pin the feeling down before it floats away.
Hanging out, having fun
Just kicking it. No pressure. No expectations. Two people spending time without defining it. The best relationships start this way. Before labels. Before demands. Just existing in the same space and enjoying how it feels to be around each other naturally.
Jennifer Hudson played Aretha Franklin in Respect -- hand-picked by Aretha herself before she died. The film covers the childhood pregnancy, the abusive marriage, the Atlantic Records breakthrough. Hudson was twelve years older than Aretha was during some of these events, but she understood the assignment: not imitation, inhabitation. Skylar's 'Respect' in The Blues Brothers is a demand. Hudson's version is a woman reclaiming what was always hers. Image Credits
