Full of Shhhhh

"Come Undone" - Duran Duran

This song is dedicated to my insomnia.

I woke up this morning with a towel wrapped around my head, all the lights turned on, and my bed made. I looked over to the digital clock above my TV and it read, "9:01A." The sunshine made its way through my deep pink curtains. The air was beginning to warm up as I stretched over my neatly-placed bedsheets beneath me. I pulled a pillow over my face and let the cool side rest against my skin as I attempted to recall what exactly happened last night.

I wasn't drunk. I strayed away from the Grey and barely had one drink made up of more ice than candy-flavored liquor. No, I didn't let a random good-for-nothing guy buy it for me and yes, I was staring at Miss Bartender the whole time as she put this concoction together. I wasn't emotional. No fights broke out before, during or after this last minute shindig. My black eyeliner and tightly-wound ponytail stayed in tact even through the heat on the dance floor and the blare of the Latin music over the speakers. I was surrounded by people I trust and even came home at a decent hour, leaving the club before the last call for alcohol was announced. So, what made me so exhausted that I couldn't remember anything that happened once I got home?

I guess that's it. I was exhausted.

It's interesting to realize how quickly things change. Just a few months ago I barely slept. I could stay out forever because I stayed up anyway. It didn't matter if I got home at 3A or 6A, I'd shower and get ready for bed hoping that sleep would greet me and it rarely did. Yet lately the thought of going out into the wee hours of the morning tires me to the point when I prefer to simply stay in. If it wasn't for a few good friends, then I would've found myself doing exactly that. It's unusual for me to be so drained without any influence besides my own diminishing energy. I'm not at all saying that I'm domesticated to the point of never wanting to go out again, but it's just that sleep is more desirable to me since it has been something I had so little of over these past several months. It's finally back and I'm happy to say that I've been looking forward to its return.

Lyrics:

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you

(can not forgive from falling apart at the seams
Can not believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Oh, it'll take a little time,
Might take a little crime
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me into cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers?

(can not forgive from falling apart at the seams
Can not believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky,
we'll make it alright
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me into cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?

(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you need, who do you love?
(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you love
When you come undone?
(can not forgive from falling apart)

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.
