The wisdom in music

My favorite, wisest, and prettiest song lyrics. Enjoy!

So many adventures could have happened today, so many songs we forgot to play... -Forever Young, Alphaville

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope  some day you join us, and the world will live as one. -Imagine, John Lennon

Don't cry, don't raise your eye, it's only teenage wasteland. (Amen to that!) -Baba O'Riley, The Who

Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. -Hey Jude, The Beatles

Let it be. -Take a Guess...

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind, through the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, the haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, for from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes! to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea. - Mr. Tambourine Man, Bob Dylan

So I got a question, do you want to have a slumber party in my basement? Do I make YOUR heart beat like an 808 drum? Is MY love YOUR drug? -Your Love is My Drug (No one will ever understand what these words mean to me, sadly enough. Memories...)

Won't you look down upon me Jesus, you've got to help me take a stand. Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around. All those hours of time on the telephone line, to talk about things to come: sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground. -Fire and Rain, James Taylor

Maybe I know somewhere, deep in my soul, that love never lasts. We've got to find other ways to make it alone, to keep a straight face. And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness. But you are the only exception. And I'm on my way to beleiving. (Such a beautiful song!) -The Only Exception, Paramore

Through the corridors of sleep, past shadows dark and deep, my mind dances and leaps in confusion! I don't know what is real, I can't touch what I feel, and I hide behind the shield of my illusion.  The mirror on the wall casts an image, dark and small, but I'm not sure at all it's my reflection. I'm blinded by the light of God and truth and right, and I wander in the night without direction.  No matter if you're born to play the king or pawn, for the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow. Soon my fantasy becomes reality and I must be what I must be and face tomorrow. So, I'll continue to continue to pretend, my life will never end, and flowers never bend with the rainfall. (I have such a ridiculous amount of good memories associated with this) -Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall, Simon and Garfunkel

Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water. You put your arms around me for the first time, as you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
Mine, Taylor Swift

You and I walk a fragile line, I have known it all this time, but I never thought I'd live to see it break. It's getting dark and it's all too quiet and I can't trust anything now, and it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake. I'm holding my breath. I won't lose you again. But something's made your eyes go cold... Come on, come on, don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out! Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted. Come on, come on don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out, can't breathe whenever you've gone, can't turn back now, I'm haunted! -Haunted, Taylor Swift

Blizzard

Wow, long time no see.

The title says it all, I am under three feet of snow right now. And I am stoked about it, as well as happier than I have been in months. I think I am far over the whole depression thing now.

While I'm at it, why don't express my sincere and whole-hearted appreciation for snow days! And stoking the fire, and the swish of snow pants as you walk out the door to the beach in the blizzard, and thinking absolutely no good could come of having the flu for three days, then waking up on the third day and discovering you've lost a ton of weight, and my eyes getting five shades lighter in the winter, and Garnier Fructis shampoo, and tea tree conditioner, and cheap gross hot cocoa, and skiing.

Friday was one of the awesomest days of my life. I got up really late by accident, like, 6:00, (told you I was a morning person) and then I pulled a Fred Flintstone on some ice outside. I was about ready to give up and go right back to bed in my snow pants, but then I realized it was kinda funny. And, my school has skiing as a class, so we all trooped over to the little tiny ski hill near my school. (By tiny, I mean MINI. Like it should come packaged in a set of twelve.) My friend somehow scored a lift ride with this incredibly cute snowboarder (is there any other kind?), and I just about died from jealousy. I texted my friend from the top of the "Mountain" (which is actually more like a speed bump), did all the black diamonds, and didn't bail once. I was so ridiculously proud of myself, it was sad. I love skiing. I love snow. I love Fridays.

Anyway.

Now I am doing absolutely nothing. Except reading at the table with my friend. And now we will go to the beach and go on the pirate boat. In the 15 degree weather. Remind me to tell you about that later. Homework.... moooaaaannn. Bye!

Interesting thing of the day - did you know that in 1962, there was an outbreak of laughter? It started with these three schoolgirls, and ended 4 MONTHS LATER. That is just so funny to me, me who laughs entirely too hard at everything. Google it if you don't believe it!
