I have seen The Great Gatsby twice now in theaters.
I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm obsessed, but I like it so so sooo incredibly much that I've already
-downloaded half the soundtrack,
-listened to it on repeat since then
-bought the book
-reread the book
-getting a tattoo of a quote from the book. Yes. a tattoo...
and It's going to say:
"...so we beat on, boats against the current..."
and it will have a little sailboat.
because I adore sailboats.
And I've decided to post the song that plays in the movie at a part where I've quietly cried each time I've seen it.
Oh hey, It's been nearly five months since I last posted...
5 months?!
Yes, five months. But have no fear, I'm back for good.
And you can expect a lot from me this summer.
So, let's get the ball rolling here.
Allow me to tell you all about what my life is currently.
Reading:Agenda 21 by Glenn Beck. Which is basically this cool book based off of the actual Agenda 21, a plan made by the government for the 21 century. It's pretty interesting and I recommend it to you! Also, I'm reading a book called Barred to You by Sylvia Day. I'm only about 10 percent of the way through according to my kindle fire, but so far it's a decent book. A lot like 50 Shades of Grey so far.
Writing:Several things currently. A poem, a letter, and a novel! My very first novel. I'm calling it "After Brian" and I can't wait to see where it takes me. I'm so excited. When I start really getting it rolling I'll post it on my Wattpad account. Listening to:I'm listening to Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey. It's one of the songs from The Great Gatsby soundtrack and I'm absolutely in love with it, as well as the movie. Both super amazing. The Great Gatsby was perfection, and I seriously recommend it to everyone in the world. Click HERE and listen now! Watching:I'm watching a Jenna Marbles video. She posts one every Wednesday, but sometimes I get behind, or I don't watch them in order. You should watch it too. (:
Thinking about:More things than my brain should be able to handle at one time:
-the awesome day I had
-the best of friends I spend it with
-the guy that is breaking my heart
-how i'm going to keep him off my mind
-where my mom is with my laundry....?
Looking forward to: I'm really looking forward to my next day off. Which happens to be the day after tomorrow. I think the weather is supposed to be crappy, and so I need to rent all the seasons of Pretty Little Liars and watch every single episode there is. Just a thought. Sounds like a wonderful day to me though!
Making me happy:Right now it's this pretty baby in my lap.
I can't wait to share more with you guys this summer!
This song is absolutely beautiful and I have been waiting until music monday to share it with you. I have seriously been doing my homework, writing poetry, and sleeping to this wonderful song for the past week!
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. It really is incredibly peaceful.
This is one of my favorite songs off of Taylor's new album RED. In this song she sings with Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol. This is a beautiful song. If you are unfamiliar with her music, you are seriously missing out. There are a ton of music posts on my blog about her. You can check them out by simply clicking on the colored links in the previous sentence. If you enjoy her music as much as I do, you can also follow her on twitter at @taylorswift13 as well as instagram using her user name: taylorswift. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do!
Gary Lightbody:
Found myself at your door,
Just like all those times before,
I’m not sure how I got there,
All roads they lead me here.
I imagine you are home,
In your room, all alone,
And you open your eyes into mine,
And everything feels better,
Both:
Right before your eyes,
I’m breaking and fast,
No reasons why,
Just you and me.
This is the last time I’m asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list,
This is the last time I’m asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye.
Taylor Swift:
You find yourself at my door,
Just like all those times before,
You wear your best apology,
But I was there to watch you leave,
And all the times I let you in,
Just for you to go again,
Disappear when you come back,
Everything is better.
Both:
When right before your eyes,
I’m aching, run fast,
Nowhere to hide,
Just you and me…
This is the last time I’m asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list,
This is the last time I’m asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye…
This is the last time you tell me I’ve got it wrong,
This is the last time I say it’s been you all along,
This is the last time I let you in my door,
This is the last time, I won’t hurt you anymore.
Oh, oh, oh,
This is the last time I’m asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list,
This is the last time I’m asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye.
This is the last time I’m asking you this, (this is the last time I’m asking
you this)
Put my name at the top of your list, (name at the top of your list)
This is the last time I’m asking you why, (this is the last time I’m asking you
why)
You break my heart in the blink of an eye. (You break my heart…)
Today I'm going to tell you all about what I am thankful for today:
Music.
When I have days like today, I am so thankful for music. It just pulls me completely and totally out of the dark. Taylor Swift is such an inspiration to me. I absolutely love her new album RED. It's simply amazing.
I just bought the new Taylor Swift album, Red. Actually, I bought it the day it came out, which was exactly a week ago. I just want everyone to know how amazing this album is. There's not a single song on it that I don't like. Taylor's music is so inspiring. I'm actually working on a poem right now, and her music helps provoke feelings that make great poetry. You'll have to keep your eye for the poem.
Anyways. I'm starting a schedule for my blogging, since I really want to get back into it like hard core.
This is music on Monday my friends.
Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch
Out of focus, eye to eye
Till the gravity's too much
And I'll do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And i'd be smart to walk away
But you're quick sand
This slope is Treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is Treacherous
And I I I like it
I can't decide if it's a choice
Getting swept away
I hear the sound of my own voice
Asking you to stay
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along
Forever going with the flow but you're friction
This slope is Treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is Treacherous
I I I like it
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive
And I will follow you follow you home, follow you follow you home
This song is so great. I'm so happy that she posted this at midnight. It totally describes my life right now.
Take a deep breath in the mirror, he didn't like it when I
wore high heels but I do.
Turn the lock and put my headphones on, he always said he didn't get this song
but I do. I do.
Walked in expecting you'd be late but you got here early and you stand and wait
I walk to you.
You pulled my chair out and helped me in, and you don't know how nice that is
but I do.
And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid.
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did.
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break,
and burn, and end.
But on a Wednesday, in a cafe...I watched it begin again.
He said he never met one girl who had as many James Taylor records as you but I
do.
We tell stories and you don't know why you're coming off a little shy but I do.
And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid.
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did.
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break,
and burn, and end.
But on a Wednesday, in a cafe...I watched it begin again.
And we walk down the block to my car and I almost brought him up.
But you start to talk about the movies that your family watches every single
Christmas and I will talk about that for the first time.
What's past is past.
Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid.
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did.
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break,
and burn, and end.
But on a Wednesday, in a cafe...I watched it begin again.
But on a Wednesday, in a cafe...I watched it begin again.
It's unfortunate that I have to post this song. We both saw it coming, though. Happens every time. Goodbye Captain Ahab. Your white whale has, once again, fled from your reach.
Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen
To that voice of reason inside my head telling me that we're no good
[Chorus:]
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We're like fire and gasoline
I'm no good for you
You're no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be stronger
I'm not gonna break down and call you up when my heart cries out for you
And tomorrow, you won't believe it,
But when I pass your house,
I won't stop no matter how bad I want to
[Chorus:]
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We're like fire and gasoline
I'm no good for you
You're no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Baby when we're good, you know we're great
But there's too much bad for us to think that there's anything worth trying to
save
[Chorus:]
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We're like fire and gasoline
I'm no good for you
You're no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.
Someone pointed this song out to me. Ever since then I can't get it out of my head and when I hear it I think of them instantly. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house.
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep,
it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Some days I can't even dress myself.
It's killing me to see you this way.
'Cause though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head
that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks.
Soon it will all be over, buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
and full of life and full of love.
Some days I feel like I'm wrong when I am right.
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear.
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same.
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You're gone, gone, gone away,
I watched you disappear.
All that's left is a ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
there's nothing we can do,
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon.
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep.
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same.
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same.
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore (x3)
I stumbled across this song just yesterday night. I am in love with Drake. This song is just great because it is my most favorite type of music. The kind that has meaning that is nice and slow and pretty sounding.
God, I miss you so much.
When a good thing goes bad it's not the end of the world
It's just the end of a world, that you had with one girl
And she's the reason it happened, but she's overreacting
And it's all because she don't want things to change
So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do
Cause you'll say you love me, and I'll end up lying
And say I love you too
But I need someone different
You know it, oh ho, you know it
Oh ho, you know it, we both know it
I need someone different
You know it, oh ho, you know it
Oh ho, you know it, we both know it
Something's been missing
You know it, oh ho, she knows it
Oh ho, I know it, we all know it
I need someone different
(Oh ho, oh ho)
We live in a generation of, not being in love, and not being together
But we sure make it feel like we're together
Cause we're scared to see each other with somebody else
So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do
Cause you'll say you love me, and I'll end up lying
I was listening to the radio, the day before yesterday I believe it was, and I heard this song for the first time. I love Taylor Swift, soooo this song is great. At first I just liked it for the artists, but then I really listened to the words and there's a whole lot more to the song than just a couple of good singers. Give it a listen.
[Taylor Swift - Chorus]
I
wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
[B.o.B]
Ever thought about losing it
When your money's all gone and you lose your whip
You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya that you do for rent
And the grass so green on the other side
Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence
open up the fridge bout twenty times
But still can't find no food in it
That's foolishness
And sometimes I wonder, why we care so much about the way we look,
and the way we talk and the way we act and the clothes we bought, how much that
cost?
Does it even really matter?
Cause if life is an uphill battle
we all tryna climb with the same ol' ladder
In the same boat, with the same ol' paddle
Why so shallow? I'm just asking
What's the pattern for the madness
Everybody ain't a number one draft pick
Most of us ain't hollywood actors
But if it's all for one, and one for all
Then maybe one day, we all can ball
Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, from one of y'all
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
[B.o.B]
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle
You just wanna live, been everything so low
That you could drown in a puddle
That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up
For all the times no one's ever spoke for us
To every single time that they play this song
You can say that that’s what Bobby Ray wrote for us
When the tides get too high
And the sea up underneath get so deep
And you feel like you're just another person
Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleed
Uh, because we won't be near yet, both of us
But we still stand tall with our shoulders up
And even though we always against the odds
These are the things that've molded us
And if life hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I wonder where I would've wound up
Cause if it was up to me, I'd make a new blueprint
Than build it from the ground up, hey
But if it's all for one, and one for all
Then maybe one day, we all can ball
Do it one time for the underdogs
From bobby ray, to all of y'all
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
I think it is necessary to point out my hatred for Justin Bieber haters. I am not one of the people who thinks that he 'sucks'. Those of you who do, you obviously have jealousy issues. Anyways, I just love this new song. It sounds great and it is not disrespectful or vulgar in any way, shape, or form. A bonus! If you haven't already heard it, listen now!
If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go
I can take you places you ain't never been before
Baby, take a chance or you’ll never ever know
I got money in my hands that I’d really like to blow
Swag, swag, swag, on you
Chillin' by the fire while we eatin’ fondue
I don't know about me but I know about you
So say hello to falsetto in three, two, swag
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d like to be everything you want
Hey girl, let me talk to you
[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you’d never be alone
I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go, I’d never let
you go
[Verse 2]
Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don’t
I could be your Buzz Lightyear fly across the globe
I don’t ever wanna fight yeah, you already know
Imma make you shine bright like you’re laying in the snow
Burr
Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the w-w-world ends
Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin crazy on this hook like a whirlwind
Swaggy
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d like to be everything you want
Hey girl, let me talk to you
[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you’d never be alone
I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go, I’d never let
you go
[Bridge]
So give me a chance, ‘cause you’re all I need girl
Spend a week with your boy I’ll be calling you my girlfriend
If I was your man, I’d never leave you girl
I just want to love and treat you right
[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you’d never be alone (never be
alone)
I can be a gentleman (gentleman), anything you want
If I was your boyfriend (boyfriend), I’d never let you go,
never let you go
