In Line

"God Only Knows" - The Beach Boys

She was standing in line in front of a Hollywood club hand-in-hand with an ol' skool crush from S.F. They were too young when they first met, but after a few years when age was no longer an issue, he bridged the gap by setting his teal-colored Camero on cruise control along the 5-freeway to L.A.

So there they were in front of the club debating if they were really going to try this long-distance thing over again. He was ready, she was taken, but things can always change.

The line was moving slowly as they talked about music and reminisced about being 13 again when she suddenly asked, "Alright, you wanna do this? Then here's a trivia for you: What was the name of the song that was playing the day Winnie left her necklace on Kevin's school bus?"

He had a puzzled look on his face, scratched his head and grinned. "So...what? If I get this right, are we gonna do this really?"

She giggled and turned away. He pulled her closer, "Seriously, is this the best you could do?" He didn't know the answer and was hoping she'd assume it was too easy and change the question to something easier, at least for him.

She stared at him for a minute with a devious smile. He knew she saw right through him. Interestingly enough, she didn't know the answer either and was really trying to find out more out of curiosity than anything else. Looking down, she knew this was a terrible way to make someone figure something out...thinking that they were going to get more than the simple satisfaction of discovering a song title.

He thought and thought as the line grew shorter. He called out multiple responses that lead to nowhere. The club music was overbearing as they approached the entrance. She handed her ID over to the bouncer as he jumped up, startling her and everyone else in line. "God only knows!!! God only knows!," he shouted!

He started to sing, "If you should ever leave me, though life would still go on, believe me..."

She sang back, "The world could show nothing to me, so what good would livin' do me ..."

"God only knows what I'd be without you!" they both hollered like crazed lunatics who just won the lotto!

They were ecstatic thinking that this meant that finally they were a couple, but they learned soon enough that it only meant things were still the same.

They sang.
They danced.
And left it all behind, standing in line outside of the Hollywood club.
Like two yellow school buses split by a fork in the road.


Lyrics:

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you.

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me

God only knows what I'd be without 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 ...

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...
