"For You" - Angus & Julia Stone

Let's be hippies, trade in our cars for a couple of bikes and a bag full o'stuff and ride. Let's pretend that we finally did all we had to do and actually felt fulfilled. Let's look at one another to see each other for who we really are and remember the "we" that had gotten us this far. Let's enjoy the Fall and every season that passed since we forgot how to enjoy. Let's relearn and do it better. Let's have our hot tea with milk and watch the moon change shape. Let's get out the blankets, put on movies we've already seen and watch them like we're watching them for the first time. Let's let me talk through them to understand them better than I did the first time. Let's have a pillow fight and a tickling war so that I can win. Let's sit quietly together and see if one could figure out what the other is thinking and I will definitely win. Let's have a conversation where I do less of the talking. Let's imagine for a moment that whatever this is exists for a reason because everything happens for a reason even when there is no reason because it's still a reason to exist.

We could walk around every single park in town just to see how many different leaves fall to the ground. We could pick up a few and place them in our bag. We could visit the museums we didn't get to see and maybe a couple we want to be in just to be in it because they're beautiful. We could make dinner that I won't cook so we'll eat it. We could take a gazillion pictures to fill up a scrapbook and actually fill it. We could look like trendy panhandlers and just sit on the sidewalk to see who'd pay attention to us...

And maybe in the middle of it all, we'd see what used to be our cars pass us by and be grateful they didn't stop to throw us spare change because we've changed and it felt amazing.

Lyrics:

If I talk real slowly, if I try real hard
To make my point dear, that you have my heart
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know

If you love me with all of your heart
If you love me
I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend every day
Shining your light my way

If I talk real slowly, if I hold your hand
If you look real closely my love
You might understand
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know

If you love me with all that you are
If you love me
I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend every day
Shining your light my way

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.
