Piece by Piece

"In Pieces" - Linkin Park

With the rain and the wind, the cloud and the gloom...it all just puts me at ease. I woke up at 7:00am this morning (a rarity since I am a night owl), with the sound of the weather at my window. It was cold, but comforting under my covers and I felt like utter and complete crap. I don't know how I managed to get away from being sick after being surrounded by it for over a month at work, but it caught up to me late Monday night. And of course, came full blown as I tried to get out of bed.

So, I didn't.

I stayed under the warmth and got lost in it for another hour and a half. Then decided to stay hidden just a little while longer.

So, what made me think of this song? I have no idea. I just started singing, "In pieces, in pieces..." Maybe it's how I was feeling. Maybe it was just the image of watching the rain drops fall to the ground. But actually, it was what came to mind at the time.


Lyrics:

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate


There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you've built you laid to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take


So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone

There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
