Pandora's Box

"In the Deep" - Bird York

I haven't listened to this song in almost a year now. Somehow this and Cold Play is still hard to bear, but at least Cold Play warns me ahead of time with their familiar hellos. Ms. York sneaks up on me, but only for the first 7 seconds. It's then that I recognize her and shuffle her back with the rest. She used to find her way out quite often, but since January she's been laying low. I was grateful for that. It helped me get through March fairly easily. My iPod has been good to me for the most part and it didn't hurt me today. It was all Pandora's fault.

I was organizing my storage room at work and knew that I wouldn't get by with just my thoughts to keep me company. It can get a little creepy being stuck in such a small room by myself, but I just had to suck it up and make the best of it. I could always use a little Tori to break the silence and so I pulled out my phone and clicked on "Tori Radio." The first song was Horses followed by Shawn Colvin's Sunny Came Home and Mazzy Star's Fade into You. I was beginning to think that my phone and iPod were having a thing behind my back.

A couple of interesting songs came up too by artists Charlotte Martin (she sounds a lot like a young Tori) and The Veronicas. I'll be blogging about them soon just because they caught my attention and stuff like that can't ever go unnoticed. I'm not good at keeping secrets. Anyway, so far I was feeling productive and loving the music when in walks Ms. York.

"Thought you had all the answers...," asked Ms. York.

"Sigh...thought you got the hint," I muttered under my breath.

She didn't. She just kept on going and I was literally stuck between a rock in a hard place with boxes all around me and my phone wedged on the top shelf so that it won't accidentally get knocked down. Genius me.

"Hey, I thought it was safe!" I said aloud to myself.

My chest started to burn. I felt dizzy.

"Now you're out there spinning..." concurred Ms. York.

I looked up and away from my mess. I wanted to reach for my phone, but then again I had to face the fact that things like this are bound to happen so I looked back at all the empty boxes and started to fill them up. Ms. York sang away and I was doing a pretty good job ignoring her. That is until she said her very last line, "If you want to be given everything, give everything up."

I pulled the dagger out of my heart and sat down in the middle of a very dusty floor.

"That's what I thought..." I whispered to no one.

Lyrics:

Thought you had
All the answers
To rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
Don't see it coming, now
You can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
Till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
And you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

And now you're out there spinning...
And now you're out there spinning...

In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

And the silence,
All your secrets will
Raise their weary heads.
Well, you can pin yourself back together,
Well, who here thought you would?
Now you're out there livin'...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

In the deep...

Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...

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...
