Chase

"Someone Else" - Radiohead

I'm handing something over to you. Take it, but you can't. Take the damn thing cuz it's staring you right in the face. See it?! But you can't. It's not everyday perfection lies in front of you. So you step back. It's not everyday you get more than 9 lives, but you risk it anyway. It's not everyday you get chances to the nth degree, but you don't know what to do with it or so it seems...so you turn the other way. You can't...so you don't.

This song is it in a nutshell so I'm going to follow it. I promised myself to do less, not more. I want a fight. I want effort. Yet I don't always do what I say. I'm still giving more of me than what you're worth. No one deserves it all and trust me, that's not one I'm offering. It may seem like it since I'm making it very obvious how uncomplicated I can be when I want something. Yet I only want just one thing.

Boys are so predictable in nature. They crave to hunt, not to be chased. They don't know what to do when things are handed to them on a silver platter. They don't know how to do things the easy way. It's tempting, but not as appealing as playing this game of cat and mouse. They want the challenge. So count me in, but be ready. I want to be the mouse this time. And believe me, I'm very good at it.

Lyrics:

I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon the surface for
The birds, the birds, the birds

You want me, f@%king well come and find me
I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

You want me, well, come on and break the door down
You want me, f@%king come on and break the door down
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready...

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 ...

Alter Ego

"Dancing in the Dark" - Tegan & Sara (Original by Bruce Springsteen) There's nothing like a set of twin sister lesbians to start my day right. At least that's how they were introduced to me by my co-worker as we sat inside a what-used-to-be-white PT Cruiser (it needs a car wash like no other). We were driving up Alvarado street passed MacArthur Park and Korea Town when this duo first came on. It was a bit soft at first, but I couldn't remember which song it was now that I think about it. I asked him who it was and he said their names so fast I thought he sneezed! It's funny how I discover things when I'm not looking. Anyway, he mentioned he loves covers and that these gals are known for doing pretty cool ones. However, since I'm not much of a fan of duplicates I was a little skeptical at first. I like originality, but lately I've been trying things on for size to see how well they fit. Going with the flow. Expanding my picky taste buds with ...
