Kiss me all night, don't ever let me go
I'll never be the same
If we ever meet again
It's so rare for a catchy mainstream hit like this to actually be about something interesting, though I might just be overattributing meaning to it. It's hardly philosophically significant but striking anyway. Fate, chance, and transience; hello, I like you.
I wish everything was definitely nothing at all - so I don't keep wondering about what got lost along the way. In Little Italy - we don't know it but we've been looking out from different windows at the same sidewalk cafe.
"It's ironic because I don't think you're expecting me to stay and wait, and as much as I don't want to either, I can't help being hung up on every last goodnight. And I secretly still harbor everything I can't bear to recall."
, maybe if I asked
, but I know where I sit.
, so I wouldn't have to guess
, more than I already am
, which will be easier said than done;
but a start, nonetheless.
Though I will never --
, but just so I know you know.
What a movie.
Dear John,

to add to your foals' fever, here's my favourite line from this orient!
ReplyDelete" like a satelite careering through the sky, this color this summer night"
hey is that movie the one adapted from nicholas sparks' novel??
haha those have got to be the prettiest lines from the song =) besides the chorus that is! yup it's the one with channing tatum and amanda seyfried, but i think it could've been better so i didn't really dig it =/ did you see it??
ReplyDeletehahah yeah they are. kinda remind me of sputnik sweetheart when i listened!! ah okok haha nope not yet and not going to from the looks of it heh. a friend of mine was telling me ytd it was shite.
ReplyDeleteanyway are you catching belle and sebastian??
omg belle and sebastian is coming??? i never know about stuff like this; i didn't even know when cat power came! are you going! haha yeah don't bother watching it unless you're a seyfried fan or something. i just went to wiki sputnik sweetheart. you read it?
ReplyDeletehahaha they are. august. but i heard from my sis the tickets are all sold out by now! sucks huh hahaha. i thought you might have tickets wahaha. looks like we're out. orh ok i'll skip that then. yeah i have the book! sputnik sweetheart is really good. i'm (fast-becoming) a murakami fan :)
ReplyDeleteomg it totally sucks =( i half-wish belle and sebastian weren't so freaking awesome that they had to sell out so quickly. haha it's super cool to be reading japanese novels; you're probably the first i've heard who does!
ReplyDeletehey! well thats probably true. they sold out way faster than broken social scene! crazy hahah. ah yeah i'll accept the compliment ahahahaha. but seriously, its translated and i'm interested in comparative literature when we translate texts (but NUS hardly has that. darn!)you should try murakami if you have the time, well worth it :)
ReplyDeletei've heard a lot of broken social scene but i've never actually listened to any of their stuff haha. sure i will, when i can and if i can get my hands on the text! are you majoring in lit btw?
ReplyDeleteaha! broken social scene is darn good. they're like a motley crew of musicians so there's always something new about them. i'm sure you'd like them. oh yeap i am! (still not too sure if thats a good thing hahah)
ReplyDeleteohh i should totally check them out sometime =) i think you'd be an awesome lit major! really seems like your kinda thing.
