Catching up
"Pick flowers not fights."
Isn't that the cutest quote you've ever heard?
I am well and I hope everybody is too.
Check out the band, The Weepies. Their music is simple and folklore-ish. I love their lyrics too and their songs are perfect when you just feel like being mellow and feel like being alone not because you're feeling emotional but because you are and you feel like being secluded from the world of talking and gaped mouths. Yes, when you're in a silent mood, their music could not be better suited and in tune with the aura.
Here's the lyric to one of my favourite songs from The Weepies.
Gotta Have YouGray, quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
I try to make you mad at me over the phone
Red eyes and fire and signs
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme
I want to make a ray of sunshine and never leave home
No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you
The road gets cold
There’s no spring in the middle this year
I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
But green, it is also summer
And I won’t be warm till I’m lying in your arms
I see it all through a telescope:
Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat
Humming a tune...
Another song I'm in love with is 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' by Snow Patrol. I love duets and I don't really enjoy Snow Patrol so this song is pretty highly rated in my ears and you need to listen to it at least twice.
Set the Fire to the Third BarI find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I am starting to like mainstream Hip Hop again which I find utterly devastating. I know its horrible so I am exposing myself to it in tiny doses. Trust me, it is a phase so there's nothing to be worried about. Besides that, the mid-semester break was awesome especially when spending time with Rob. I wish those days never ended but I'm sure that there will be other days which were as blissful or will surpass them in the future. =) All in all, Ming is happy.
I love you guys and miss you all. Hugs!
what's the sense in waiting?
