You wanna know? You really wanna know? Well, this soundtrack is the reason why I fell in the love with the simple and honest music of Country. My favorites are tracks 4, 5, 9 & 10. This is what sparked my interest in female folk singers and it wasn't until late last night that it brought back what made me feel so full.
I had nothing to do on a Friday night. I have nothing to do tonight. And I'm fine with that. It's rare when my lazy weekends come at a time when I don't mind being lazy. I feel like I'm drugged with sleeping pills because I've just been falling in and out of sleep all day, wishing for more night so I could cozy up with Betty and pop in a good chic flick without anyone thinking there's something wrong with me. No, I'm not sick. No, I'm not depressed. I just want to be alone with my nothingness. And when I do there are only certain movies that I choose to accompany me.
Boys on the Side is a beautifully touching film that I almost filed away and forgot about until a week ago when one of my good friends brought it up. We were talking about things that make us cry and he mentioned this. He said when he first watched it, he didn't know what hit him. All he knew was he had to lock himself up in his room to cry like he's never cried before. His mom used to scold him and say, "Why do you watch these things if it's going to make you cry like that?" But I understood why he would deliberately do it because I do it too.
Sometimes you need a good cry. It makes you feel alive and you start contemplating about life, love and what it's all worth. It helps clear up what you probably never thought to see...Yes, I'm a cryer. I often cry at the most cheesiest scenes, but I held it together for most of this the first few times I've seen it. I even remember the last time I watched it all the way through. It was at my old apartment on Wilson. I stayed up real late to iron. Thing is, I don't iron let alone, iron well so it took me a minute. It was a pair of khaki pants for my special someone's early day at work and I needed some inspiration. It's funny how I remember this now.
There was a quote in the movie that got to me this time around. It was between Jane (Whoopi Goldberg) and Robin (Mary Louise Parker), but it was mainly what Robin said that did me in and I was an emotional wreck for the rest of the movie: "You know what's weird? You never know the last time you sleep with somebody it's the last time. You're thinking: "Oh, we got problems, we got work to do," you know, but you never think... and then you break up and a month later you look back and you go: "Oh, that was it." That Tuesday or Friday or whenever, and you wished you paid attention because it was the last time..."
A lot of the videos and songs have been disabled on playlist and youtube. This one by Stevie Nicks is the only one available. Go figure...
Lyrics:
I stood at the door
And watched while you drove away
Driving my car
In the rain, in the dark
Well, every dog seems to have her day
I've been in this, alone so long
And I'm begining to wonder why I stand in one place
A different name
A different face
No ones gonna see me cry
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
I hope somebody stands by me
Stands by me, just one time
I don't understand
It's slipping through these hands
I think by now I know
Where to let go
All I know is here I am baby
Won't you stand by me?
I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted and turned
And broken down
But I'm starting to know
The sound of something
No one, and yet
Everything
Well if god's here tonight
Are you here tonight?
Maybe you could grab me up
Stand me on my feet
Give me strength
Set me free
I'm not giving in till
I've had enough
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
I hope somebody stands by me
Stands by me, just one time
I don't understand
It's slipping through these hands
I think by now I know
Where to let go
All I know is here I am baby
Won't you stand by me?
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
I hope somebody stands by me
Stands by me, just one time
I don't understand
It's slipping through these hands
I think by now I know
Where to let go
All I know is here I am baby
Won't you stand by me?
Stand by me
Anyway, I'm just rambling now, but my mind is pretty scattered at the moment and I'm following it wherever it leads me. And it decided to stop here, right at the last scene. The best scene so take a moment to watch it.
Lyrics:
Every time I look
Into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money
Just can't buy
One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
you got it
Anything at all
you got it
Baby
Every time I hold you
I begin to understand
Everything about you
Tells me [I'm your best friend]
I live my life
To be with You
No one can do
The things you do
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
you got it
Anything at all
you got it
Baby
I'm glad to give
My love to you
I know you feel
The way I do
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
you got it
Anything at all
you got it
Baby
