Lost Life

"Sleep" - Azure Ray

I was in a foul mood this afternoon. Damn, the old me is wearing me out and she's only been back for about a day. I want to go back to Europe to drop her a$$ off. She needs to drench in sweat under Italy's treacherous summer sun. She needs to feel cramped inside a cold metal, 6-passenger train car. She needs to climb up several stairs to escape from the scary subways of Paris. She needs to turn crazy corners to avoid the havoc of the London riots... one that destroyed a 3-story warehouse filled with irreplaceable art by Indie singers, songwriters, and record labels that now have to rummage through charred rubble to start from scratch.

But most of all, she needs to quit her b*tching as she slowly crawls around the curves of the deadly 110 freeway...especially as she passes a twisted black car with a heavy white sheet over the backseat... or what's left of it. Then maybe she would once again wake up and appreciate this little thing called life.

I'm sorry sweet, precious, little one. I'm sorry they were all in a hurry and forgot to drive with care with you sitting quietly back there. I'm sorry you spun out of control in this mad rush down the devil's road. I'm sorry you got stuck and that the water coming out of a garden hose and a few short buckets couldn't fight the fire fast enough from reaching you. I'm sorry for your unanswered cries. I'm sorry for no last goodbyes. I'm sorry they just couldn't get to you in time. So, please sleep. Sweet, precious little one...Sleep.

Lyrics:

Fill these spaces up with days
In my room
You can go, you can stay

But I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

Now these years locked in my drawer
I'll open to see
just to be sure

But I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes
to shift my point of view
I'm watching through my own light
as it tints the shade of you

Hold my wine, hold it in
Nobody's lost
but nobody wins

And I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes
to shift my point of view
I'm watching through my own light
as it tints the shade of you

I can't sleep
I can't speak to 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 ...
