Best of...Always

"Boys of Summer" - Don Henley

Hey, BFF it's your birthday. We've been through a lot, haven't we? It all started in the 3rd grade when a popular "French" girl entered Hamilton Elementary and stole my thunder, but not for long. It wasn't until Nancy and Tina that we finally learned how to work as a team. We had our differences, but regardless of it all things just clicked. Chief found her Giggles and Wilson wouldn't have been the same without you. First crushes, first boyfriends (even the one we shared), and of course first stories of all of our firsts. And even if we had a pretty good sized gap between mid-high school and post-college, it wasn't big enough for us to stay apart. I kinda figured we'd find each other again. I mean, what are the odds that my green would run into your white on the stairs of the Civic Center on graduation day? It was fate knocking, but we needed a bit more time then before we came to the door. I gotta thank you and your handy red pen for finally getting the hint years later.

I miss how you used to live down the street from me. I miss our Karaoke days when we'd do a duet to this song. You'd even add your bird calls, cracks me up every time I hear it. But I don't have to miss your friendship anymore because I know no matter where we are in the world, this is what we'll always have. Happy thirty-somethin' love.

Lyrics:

Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summers out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets
the sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
though i know that you not home

And i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair combed back
sunglasses on, baby

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boy of summer have gone

out on the road today
i saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac
a voice inside my head said don't look back
you can never look back

i thought i knew what love was
what did i know
those days are gone for ever
i should just let them go and

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you know your walking real slow
smiling at everyone

i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you drove me crazy?
remember how i made you scream?

now i don't understand what happened to our love
now baby gonna get you back
gonna show you what i'm made of

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your top pulled down
radio on, baby

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

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 ...

And it's what I'll always do. For Me.
