Disappear

"Your House" - Alanis Morissette

I felt a sudden rush of sadness around lunch time today. I didn't know where it came from, but it made my heart hurt. I didn't realize the impact it had on me until I was walking down the hall to grab a fax. I apparently wore it well on my sleeve and everyone noticed. One of my biggest pet peeves is being asked, "Are you ok?" when obviously, I'm not. To avoid snapping for no reason, I stayed in my office and shut the door, nice and tight.

I don't have time for this. I was swamped with work and it's one thing to sit and do nothing, but dwell. But it's an annoying other to do it on a busy day like a freakin' Monday after a 5-day training. I just couldn't function so I definitely needed a moment to collect myself. What bugs is that I really can't explain where the feelings came from. I mean, I just had lunch and came back to my desk (this is the very reason why I often leave the confines of my workspace in order to take a real break).

What could have possibly triggered such a reaction in such a short amount of time? If I could answer this, I would but of course, I can't. Something was bothering me and to not know what that something was, ticked me off. I knew I had to get over this funk quickly if I wanted to make it through the day.

After a few hours, I finally got my stride back and completed a few tasks before calling it quits. I headed to my car and knew that the Boyz II Men CD just wasn't gonna cut it this time around. So, I pulled out Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill . I remembered there was a hidden track somewhere in the end and fast-forwarded through the last song to find it. Her words rattled me, distracting me from making any rash decisions all the way home.

The version I love has no music. It's just Alanis, singing. She sang with honest pain and it just does so much more for me than this version I'm providing to you now. So, do yourself a favor and find the original; the one that doesn't sound so rehearsed, so "pretty." Find the pain that'll distract you too. It makes a feeling like the one that came from outta nowhere today, disappear.


Lyrics:

I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here, without permission
I shouldn't be here

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon

I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
I went through your drawers
And found your cologne
I went down to the den
I found your CDs
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon

I burned your incense
I ran a bath
And I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said "Hello love, I love you so love, meet me at midnight"
And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing

So forgive me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me love
If I cry all afternoon

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 ...
