Yes, but then Noooo!

"I Can't Go For That" - Hall & Oates (Cover by Nicki Bluhm & the Gamblers)



I love it when I'm introduced to something so fascinating as this awesome video that I have to show it off (even if over 1.5 million viewers watched it before me). Now normally I'm anti-cover, but I can't help but appreciate a version almost as good as the original (and one that I actually enjoy more than the original). This was like the time I saw the 5-on-1-guitar rendition of the now overplayed Gotye feat. Kimbra song, "Somebody That I Used to Know" except I doubt this song will flood the airwaves since it's ions old. But...they did bring back the ridiculous fashion sense of the 80's and 90's, so I can't be too sure this isn't going to happen. The only difference is that I'd embrace it because unlike clothes, music gets better with time.

On a different note, I found the title of this song fitting for what I just discovered a few days ago. As some of you may have noticed, Playlist went berserk! My patience has been tested many times, but this by far takes the cake! I log on only to discover that Playlist "changed" its ways and now the thing won't play unless you click on the link. Now, it's not a huge deal but it bothers me nonetheless because it breaks the flow that inspires this whole blog. And inspiration is the driving force behind keeping this blog alive. So, to reiterate, "No, I can't go for that!"

Lyrics:

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say, no go
I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Ya, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh ya

But I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that

I can go for being twice as nice
I can go for just repeating
The same old lines
Use the body
Now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it
Now say, no go

I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Ya, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh ya

But I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, yeah

Ya I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Ya, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh ya

But I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, ya

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 ...

And it's what I'll always do. For Me.
