Stunned

"Beautiful Lie" - Yoav

I first heard this song back in Nov. '07 at the Nokia theatre in LA right before Tori Amos kicked off her American Doll Posse tour. The funny thing is I usually show up late to concerts. Taking my time to mingle around a bit and maybe grab a souvenir before the crowds get too crazy...but being of course an ultimate Tori fan, I made it a point to come early that night.

At first I paid no attention when he made his way on stage. He looked a little out of place, standing in the middle of a practically empty set-up with nothing more than a guitar in hand. He said a quiet "Hello" as he approached the mic. We were going to get up and stretch our legs again...

Until he strummed a few chords.

It started out slow, appearing as though he were rehearsing; Checking to make sure the strings were in tune. But then the sound began to fill the room and as it grew louder his words echoed, hypnotizing the crowd to stay still.

We sat there. Simply stunned.


Lyrics:

Yesterday, today, tomorrow
Fade away like frozen photographs
Remember, forget
The stakes, the ways you take
The ways you make the moments pass

For every regret, I tell a beautiful lie
And I would die if you find out
I tell a beautiful lie every time that I did not open up my mouth

All the same, it’s a game, it’s a play, it’s a war, it’s a shame that we’re always fighting for
I don’t mean to cast no blame
I don’t intend to pretend
I could, never loved you more

But in the blink of an eye, everything you ever knew can change
And it’s a beautiful lie if you think everything will always stay the same

Babe. My babe
You got a secret – it’s starting to show
My babe
Sweet babe
How long can you keep it?
How far would you go?

You tell a beautiful lie
You tell a beautiful lie
And it’s going to, it’s going to drive you crazy

Babe
My babe
It’s starting to show
My babe
Sweet babe
How far would you go, go, go to tell a beautiful lie?

Yesterday, today, tomorrow
Fade away like frozen photographs
Remember, forget
Forever
Lie
Beautiful 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 ...
