Adolescence

"If Wishes Came True" - Sweet Sensation

I didn't wake up to this song nor did I fall asleep to it, but as I was walking back to my corner office with my re-heated cup of coffee, I started singing it quietly to myself in the hallway. It has been a hell of a Tuesday morning so I decided to lock myself in, close the blinds and take a mini-break from it all.

This song takes me back to 6th grade. I was such a headstrong 11-year old when I had my first real "boyfriend." I remember those days when my biggest worry was what to wear to school and how in the world I would survive another day in P.E. class with him watching me across the track field as I attempted to do a pull up. And no, I never succeeded and yes, it was mortifying to say the least. But hey, I had someone who wanted to hold my hand so things weren't all bad.

He gave me teddy bears and a cute little watch, wrote me silly love poems in pencil so he can erase his mistakes (even though I could still make them out). He had such a sweet smile and for a while I had it made. It lasted for 2 whole weeks (that was considered long-term back then!).

I was such a silly girly-girl. I wanted everything and did nothing to get it in return. I wanted every boy's attention because it made me feel adored (and who wouldn't want to feel that?!). But...I also wanted the most popular guy in school (and my boyfriend didn't quite fit the mark). So I let him go through a short letter (written in blue pen by my best friend).

Even now, almost two decades later I think back to the day I saw him in the hallway. A stunned look on his face as he read the crappy note she threw at him. A note I didn't even have the guts to write myself.

I remember how I couldn't move from where I stood...I remember the expression on his face as he looked up from the letter in disbelief and met my gaze.

I felt like shit.

And wouldn't you know it? The popular guy didn't like me back. He thought I was a jerk for doing that to his friend. And it was then that I experienced my first real heartbreak from breaking someone else's heart.

Lyrics:

All alone silence fills my room
But in a memory, I hear you calling me
Close my eyes and I'm there with you
Like it was yesterday, but then it fades away

Take me back, turn back the hands of time
When you kissed me in the warm September rain
Back before my heart was filled with pain
If only we could be in love that way again

If wishes came true
Then all the dreams at night of love were real
I'd be holding you
If wishes cam true
Then I would be that someone always special in your heart
And we would still be lovers, not apart
If wishes came true

Now you're gone and I'm on my own
Feeling lost inside since you said goodbye
In my dreams I still feel your touch
Lying next to me
Feeling ecstasy

Take me back, turn back the hands of time
When you kissed me in the warm September rain
Back before my heart was filled with pain
If only we could be in love that way again

If wishes came true
Then all the dreams at night of love were real
I'd be holding you
If wishes came true
Then I would be that someone always special in your heart
And we would still be lovers, not apart
If wishes came true

I love you madly
I need you badly
Give our love one more chance

Take me back turn back the hands of time
When you kissed me in the warm September rain
Back before my heart was filled with pain
If only we could be in love that way again

If wishes came true
Then all the dreams at night of love were real
I'd be holding you
If wishes came true
Then I would be that someone always special in your heart
And we would still be lovers, not apart
If wishes came true

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 ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me. And it's what I'll always do. For Me. Lyrics: If you wanna get with me There's some things you gotta know I like my beats fast And my bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (Drop it to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 (808) Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I...
