“I can only speak my mind… when I cannot sing my heart.”
-The Beatles, ‘Julia’
“When I hold you
Everything slows down
When I know you
Inside and out
I want to show you
There’s no such thing as time…”
-Elenowen, ‘No Such Thing As Time”
“It’s like screaming but no one can hear, you almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important, that without them you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless. Like nothing could save you. But when its over and it’s gone, you almost wish that you can have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good.”
-Rihanna, ‘We Found Love’
“Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it’s OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you’d love to know what it’s like, wouldn’t you? What it feels like for a girl.”
-Madonna’s ‘What It Feels Like For A Girl’
“A Movie Script Ending”
Whenever i come back, the air on railroad is making the same sounds.
And the shop fronts on holly are dirty words (asterisks in for the vowels).
We peered through the windows… new bottoms on barstools but the people remain the same, with prices inflating.
As if saved from the gallows.
There’s a bellow of buzzers and the people stop working and they’re all so excited.
Passing through unconscious states.
When i awoke i was on the highway.
With your hand on my shoulders, a meaningless movement… a moviescript ending,
And the patrons are leaving, leaving.
Now we all know the words were true in the sappiest songs (yes, yes).
I’ll put them to bed, but they won’t sleep, they’re just shuffling the sheets, they toss and turn,
(you can’t begin to get it back).
Passing through unconscious states.
When i awoke i was on
The onset of a later stage… the headlights are beacons on the highway.
-A Movie Script Ending, Death Cab for Cutie

“As the moon kindles the night
As the wind kindles the fire
As the rain fills every ocean
And the Sun the Earth
So your heart will kindle my heart
Take my heart
Take my heart
Kindle it with your heart
And my heart cannot be
Kindled without you
Your heart will kindle my heart…”
-‘Kindle My Heart’ (A Little Princess)
SMILE.
“Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile…”
-Nat King Cole (Smile)
“J’ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon cœur est ravi
Ma savane est belle
Mais à quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m’ensorcelle
C’est Paris, Paris tout entier
Le voir un jour
C’est mon rêve joli
J’ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris…”
