"Saving All My Love for You" is a song made famous by American singer Whitney Houston, who recorded it for her debut album in 1985. It became her first single to hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and eventually went Platinum for sales of over 1 million copies. At the 28th Annual Grammy Awards, it won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
The song caused some controversy for Houston due to its theme of having an affair with a married man. Her mother, Cissy, did not like the scenario described in the lyrics, claiming that the song's message would reflect badly on her daughter. However, later Whitney herself confessed, “I was going through a terrible love affair at the time. He was married, and that will never work out for anybody. Never, no way.”
"Saving All My Love" was originally written by Michael Masser and Gerry Goffin during the 1970s and first recorded by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis for their album but not released as a single. Years later, Masser saw Whitney for the first time in New York when she was singing one of his songs, "The Greatest Love of All". After her performance, Houston told Masser that the song was one of her favorites and later, Masser was chosen by Arista to produce some tracks for Houston's first album. He offered up "Saving All My Love" and she said she "immediately responded to it, emotionally."
After the success of her previous single, "You Give Good Love", the executives at Arista Records didn't think "Saving All My Love for You" was a good follow up for next single. When Masser heard this, he made a friendly wager with Arista's president, Clive Davis, during one of Houston's performances at the Roxy Theatre in LA. Masser proposed that if all the women got on their feet when Houston started single "Saving All My Love", then Davis would agree that it should be the next single. They did and it was.

Release: October 27, 2003
Lyrics:
So long ago
I didn't have a care about me
I didn't know my right from wrong
But now I know
That you got your love around me
You know it makes me feel so strong
Baby if you turn around
And prove to me it's real
Maybe we can work it out
'Cause this is how I feel
Do you know when you go when you give it all away
I'll be there for you, care for you
Love you everyday, oh baby
And do you feel the same for me?
Any day your away
And I feel a little low
I would cry for you, die for you
Just to let you know, oh baby
And if you come to me, you know I'll make it right
Through out my life
I'd never thought I'd have somebody
Someone to call my own
And now I've found
A little bit of heaven baby
A place to call my home
Baby if you turn around
And prove to me it's real
Maybe we can work it out
'Cause this is how I feel
Do you know when you go when you give it all away
I'll be there for you, care for you
Love you everyday, oh baby
And do you feel the same for me?
Any day your away
And I feel a little low
I would cry for you, die for you
Just to let you know, oh baby
And if you come to me, you know I'll make it right
Baby, don't you know you gotta
Slow down, before you know you gonna
Break down and turn around
Before you know, you go and break my heart
When will you learn to be
A little helpful when you think of me
A little careful when you're close to me
'Cause baby, I loved you from the start
Baby if you turn around
And prove to me it's real
Maybe we can work it out
'Cause this is how I feel (This is how I feel... This is how I feel)
I love you baby
Do you know when you go when you give it all away
I'll be there for you, care for you
Love you everyday, oh baby
Do you feel the same for me?
Any day your away
And I feel a little low
I would cry for you, die for you
Just to let you know, oh baby
I would die
I love you baby
And if you come to me, you know I'll make it right
Do you know when you go when you give it all away
I'll be there for you, care for you
Love you everyday, oh baby
Do you feel the same for me?
Any day your away
And I feel a little low
I would cry for you, die for you
Just to let you know, oh baby
I would die

there needs to be more lucy gray stuff on tumblr i swear 😭😭 it’s actually hurting me, im in love with her. anyways…could you write some fluff headcanons w lucy gray and a fem!reader pls? thx :)
I ❤️ Lucy Gray
Lucy Gray Baird x Fem! Reader (headcanons, fluff, romantic)
She is likely the type of person to not care if someone is a man or a woman. If she likes you, you're around her age, and you're kind, you might as well date
Before dating, she was very willing to drop hints. If there was a sign of interest you had in her, she took the opportunity
After dating, she is just as sweet as before, a bit toned down but still loving
Lucy Gray expects you to go to her shows, all of them if you can
Piggybacking off the last one, she'll write songs for and about you. They'll be ballads talking about your kindness and the things you give her
Roses are some of her favorite gifts, she loves the taste and they always smell good. Another good option is handmade gifts, letters, poems, hell, food is all she adores
If you give her poems, she is very willing to turn them into songs. But only sings them for you since they're special
She has sung to you and played the guitar for you. But in a cool way
She NEEDS to feel like she can trust you. She couldn't trust Billy Taupe and she couldn't trust anyone in the arena, so you still have time to prove to her that you're trustworthy
After the Games, violence was an absolute no in her life (it was a no before but it's absolute after everything). If you find a way to bring that brutality back into her life, she'll leave as quickly as she had come
If you get her gifts that are a bit expensive, she'll send you some goat cheese for free!
__
To all that have requested before this post was, I’m working on several longer fanfics and plan to release the headcanons first then the full fanfics when I finish them!!

Reunion: A Ripple [Part 1]
Summary: The sequel to Adopt a Wanderer is finally here!
Note: This sequel series will be more open-ended in terms of romantic/platonic interactions (nothing that cements either one will be included), so readers can read it how they like!
Read the first series here! (an AU where Scaramouche/Wanderer gets isekaied to your world, found-family series)
-> Part 2
There are many sayings to explain what one sees in their dreams; that they are fragments of memories strewn together, visualizations of yearning, or fears brought to life.
To Wanderer—who stands knee-deep in a dark blue and violet sea—it is a mixture of all three.
He sees a figure in the distance that wades through the scenery. Their visage grows hazier the more he tries to look closer, and they take a silent step away from him—followed by a drop of water that reverberates through the dreamscape, transporting him into a different place altogether.
Wanderer is in a house, its floorings and decoration something he cannot identify as Teyvatian. It is foreign in a way that doesn’t seem like it’d be able to hold him; as if a hunter dropped a woven net over the puppet, expecting it to be enough to snare the callous soul.
He stands, as if frozen in time, like a creature taken aback by this new sensation, and allows himself to stay still as he turns his gaze to the sound of running water.
A person washing dishes. Wanderer barely recognises your face at first, but an odd sense of familiarity calls out to him from your movements—relaxed, humming to a song playing from your phone—and his eyes widen as something clicks in his mind.
The last thing he manages to do before he is snatched away, is reach out his hand towards you. Does it in such panic that his arm aches, as if his action could race against the way his consciousness closes in on itself, engulfing everything in a voidless dark.
His lashes flutter open, and a sharp pain throbs at the back of his skull.
He groans, cursing the headache, and covers his eyes with a hand as if that would keep the dream from slipping away.
Irminsul. Wanderer clenches his jaw. What has it done?
.
