Ellipsis

"Last Words" - The Real Tuesday Weld

I'm late as always, but I had to...I had to make sure that I wrote about a song especially for today...of all days, a Tuesday no less. Things are so unplanned, so unexpected, so happy, so sad. And I know I'll go back to this post and edit as I always do. But again for now (for the first time in almost a month), I'm listening to this song. A song that made me feel so full of euphoria is draining the very essence of me...This song is absolutely, preciously PERFECT. My ellipsis to you.

Lyrics:

Over Elgin Avenue
A helium balloon
Disappears into the sky

You give some money
To a junky
Watch as the sunny day drifts by
I’ll tell you why

You said loved me
And I kind of believe that
These days who knows
What it means?

So we sat by the launderette
With magazines and cigarettes
Talked about a million
Other things

These are
The last words
I’ll say
To you

These are
The last words
I’ll say
To you

I never saw the world look the way
The city looked to me today
I never felt the end would come this way

These are
The last words
I’ll say
To you

Last night I dreamt that somebody had died
And it was one of us
I did the biggest thing that I could
But it was not enough

These are
The last words
I will say
To you

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

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.
