Song of the day- Say it to me now
I had every intention of posting a different song, then my internet when out and I was forced to figure out how else to pass my time. Seeing as I easily ruled out homework and already ate half a dozen cookies, the next logical step was to scan my DVD collection which lead me to put in Once. To say I had loved this movie was perhaps the biggest understatement I've ever made. Never had their been more people come up to me after seeing the trailer to tell me that they had found the movie that was made just for me. 5 minutes into the movie I knew I would absolutely love it, not only because the simplicity of him playing this one song took me on an emotional rollercoaster I wasn't prepared for and may have produced a few tears in my eyes, but also it was one of the best "meet cutes" I'd ever seen. For those of you not versed in movie writing or haven't seen "the holiday" a meet cute is to quote wikipedia a "convention of romantic comedies in which two potential romantic partners meet in a contrived way in unusual or comic circumstances. Meet cutes are my most fav parts of movies besides a good music montage and or fashion show...for definitions of the latter terms, please view some of my fav examples below cuz I just went on a movie tangent!
But in this meet cute you immediatly care for and find these two characters irrisistably adorable. It's the innocent sweetness of their relationship mixed with heart gushing songs that made the movie a sensation, but it was the fact that they understood and revealed how just a basic song can express boiling emotions that two shy characters cannot fathom that made the movie just for me. If I could sing or more probably just show his performance of today's song everytime I was upset I'd never have to explain myself. So if you ever happen to be in a fight with me just know this is what I'm picturing. Hmmm almost worth starting a fight. So if you have something you can't say, let him say it for you now.

I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I'm picking up a message Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Fashion show, you know you've seen it, you know you've loved it:
