I went to see Star Wars today. There were SO many previews… including a very very teasing trailer (well, that’s why they call them teasers) for Da Vinci Code, which I am reaaaaally excited about. and Batman Begins. kekekekekekeke Sooooo many nice previews…

So. Star Wars.
( spoiiiiiilers )

and hopefully.. Madagascar tomorrow!! (the movie)

grace recommended this… and i’m thoroughly addicted. it’s got a really catchy beat and at first it sounded almost like a maroon 5 song…

Such Great Heights (The Postal Service)
I am thinking it’s a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they’re perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you’re away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, ‘come down now,’ they’ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
‘come down now,’ but we’ll stay…

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home

one of the most beautiful songs EVER… i just love the whispered beginning.

Run (Snow Patrol)
I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up…

Slower slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

I love this song. His whole album, Half Step Down, is one of those that you can just play over and over again without skipping anything.

Wonder (Ken Oak)
Wake up in the morning / Stare up at the ceiling
Can’t get out of bed / Hands keep on turning
Wonder what you’re doing / Light a cigarette

And I wonder what you’re feeling all this time
And I wonder how it feels to be alive
And I wonder if you think of me
And if we were ever meant to be
I wonder…

Lights keep on changing / Hands keep on driving
Staring straight ahead / Hope sometimes rising
‘Cause my heart keeps on faking / Memory of your smile

And I wonder what you’re feeling all this time
And I wonder how it feels to be alive
And I wonder if you think of me
And if we were ever meant to be
I wonder…

And after all that we’ve said and done
You made me feel I could be someone
And I wonder how I’ll live now you’re gone

And I wonder what you’re feeling all this time
And I wonder how it feels to be alive
And I wonder if you think of me
And if we were ever meant to be
I wonder…

Lyrical goodness. :-) Not one of my favorites by Maroon 5, but one of my favorites overall. If that makes sense.

Lyrics to Le Temps des cathedrales… from Notre Dame to Paris. (Such a gorgeous cathedrale!! The gargoyles are still there. You really have to see it in person to appreciate how beautiful it is, from the distant view you get when you start walking towards it to that final bridge…) It’s a gorgeous song, and the French is simple enough that even I can understand it.

In particular, I like this bit:

L’homme a voulu monter sur les étoiles
Ecrire son histoire
Dans le verre ou dans pierre

Man wanted to climb to the stars
Write his history
In glass or in stone

The stone/glass bit goes w/the preceding lines about the the cathedrals. It’s so clever… I absolutely adore this song.
