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

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 ...

Alter Ego

"Dancing in the Dark" - Tegan & Sara (Original by Bruce Springsteen) There's nothing like a set of twin sister lesbians to start my day right. At least that's how they were introduced to me by my co-worker as we sat inside a what-used-to-be-white PT Cruiser (it needs a car wash like no other). We were driving up Alvarado street passed MacArthur Park and Korea Town when this duo first came on. It was a bit soft at first, but I couldn't remember which song it was now that I think about it. I asked him who it was and he said their names so fast I thought he sneezed! It's funny how I discover things when I'm not looking. Anyway, he mentioned he loves covers and that these gals are known for doing pretty cool ones. However, since I'm not much of a fan of duplicates I was a little skeptical at first. I like originality, but lately I've been trying things on for size to see how well they fit. Going with the flow. Expanding my picky taste buds with ...
