]]> They say that if you’re looking for love, you should make a list of what you want in an ideal partner.

So Pam made it into sultry song.

She never, to my knowledge, recorded it. I found it handwritten in a notebook along with many other original songs that amazed me as I emptied her apartment.

Lyrics

A Recipe for Love

A recipe for love, that’s what I’m looking for,
A recipe for love.
I want to find me a real yummy cookin’ one
So I’m writing me a recipe for love.

I want a man who knows how to flavor sweetness in my mouth
With depth and richness that can bring me to my knees.
I want a man who knows how to hold my soul within his hands,
And breathe on me life-giving breath please.

A man who knows hunger,
A man who knows satisfaction,
A man who knows how to join me in harmony,

I want a man who knows how to carry fire without getting burnt
Cause fire’s what you’ll be getting from me.

I know you’re out there
I feel your heart getting closer
I know you’re lookin’ for me.
So when your hunger is ready for satisfaction,
You’ve got my recipe.

]]> A song Pamela wrote in 1995 when she was living in British Columbia. The sheet music that I found is printed in the original Mac Chicago font. It has melody, bass line and chords, with notes pertaining to percussion and more – a working copy. The song was also on a cassette marked “Copywriting tape” so I’ve made a digital copy which you can hear below.

Pam was involved in one or two band configurations around Vancouver and Salt Spring Island in those days. If anyone can fill me in on the details, see the Contact page.
