Kiss

"Kissing You" - Sade

I was experiencing song-block and knew far too well that if I just selected whatever came to mind without any real heart behind it...well, I wouldn't be able to write. So I typed in a few of my favorite artists like Sia, Anna Nalick and Jimmy Eat World, but although I love a lot of their music, their art just didn't quite call to me tonight. So then I thought, "Ok, just put the one song from Sade that you hate to love because it reminds you of a sad time in your life..." But of course at that very moment, the title left me. Figures...

So as I searched through Sade's list of songs, dreading the one I've been avoiding to write about for so long, I ran into this. My, my how I let myself forget this I can't say why... but how lovely it was to find again.

I first heard this song from the movie re-make of Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. It makes me laugh a little thinking about it because I was so drawn to him and the way he portrayed his love with one of my favorite TV stars at the time (Claire started out playing a soft-spoken, nail-biting teenage girl infatuated with the idea of falling in love on the short-lived TV series My So-Called Life). And now there she was with a heartthrob confessing his longing for her as if she was the only woman in the world! What luck! Now every time I hear this song, I picture an aquarium full of fishes! Or falling into a swimming pool, drenched in my own clothes!

I can't help but think of a time when butterflies filled my stomach and when the sudden thrill of the next day made it hard to sleep. But then...I also let the thoughts of having someone know me as much as anyone can ever really know another be as comforting as feeling at home.

It's just so beautiful and soothing.

Just like a kiss.

Lyrics:

Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you

My soul cries
Heaving heart is full of pain

Oooh, oooh, the aching
'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh
I'm kissing you, oooh

Touch me deep, pure and true
Give to me forever

'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh
I'm kissing you, oooh

Where are you now
Where are you now

'Cause I'm kissing you
I'm kissing you, oooh

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 ...
