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

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.
