Fear

"Hey Man, Nice Shot" - Filter

I'm in this dark place, but I like it here. It's obvious that I'm hardly happy, but I'm not a pathetic mess either. I'm a bit angry though. Don't worry it's not destructive, but the songs that are coming to mind are.

I was on my way home listening to absolutely nothing on the radio. It felt like the rain wanted attention so I watched it pour down through the blurry windshield. All of sudden, like the road in front of me, my mind was suddenly flooding with music. Stuff I haven't heard in what feels like "another me" ago overflowed my brain. I dreaded forgetting this by the time I got home. It happened before and the Internet is worthless when it comes to igniting my memory from such a loss. Luckily, I wasn't driving.

I didn't have a pen and paper in hand and I was too lazy to take out my phone. So I hummed and sang quietly to myself in hopes that a familiar tune and a few lyrics would keep these lost songs locked into place...at least for another 20-minutes. Sitting in the backseat, I wasn't distracted by anything else other than my thoughts and the urge to capture them in this blog. Here's a little story about the first song.

You may not want to believe this, but there was a time when I actually enjoyed the thrill of scary movies. So back then it was no surprise that I stayed up late enough to watch Tales from the Crypt. Some of the horror stories were eerie and a little freaky than "horrific," but entertaining nonetheless. This song was from the movie Demon Knight, but the best ever was the series featuring the Crypt Keeper himself. The speedy camera shot through the haunted house in the beginning always gave me the chills! I couldn't help, but think what if I was walking through that door and down those steps? How far would I go before turning around (as if the outside was any better than the inside)?

The whole thing creeped the hell out of me, but it pumped up so much adrenaline through my veins and made my heart race! Up until that point, I didn't mind it so much so I allowed myself to feel afraid. I guess it was because I didn't deal with real fear yet. I realize now that it was only after such a turning point in my life that I avoided f@$kin' with my mind any further.

Lyrics:

I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late
What you could've taught me
I could've saved some face

They think that your early ending
Was all wrong
For the most part, they're right
But look how they all got strong

That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man
That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man

A man has gun
Hey man, have fun
Nice shot

Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of fear

You'd fight and you were right
But they were just too strong
They'd stick it in your face
And let you smell
What they consider wrong

That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man
That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man

A man has gun
Hey man, have fun
Nice shot

A man has gun
Nice shot man
Hey, nice shot man

I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I'd say nice shot

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.
