yeah, music is a big deal.

"Those Who Danced Were Thought To Be Quite Insane By 
Those Who Could Not Hear the Music."
-Angela Monet

   I don't know about you, but I'm one avid listener of music. It's like my life revolves around books, music, and those convenient times where the characters in a novel are dancing to a soft lullaby. I've found myself to be the one who dances in the middle of a store. Like, today! I was trying on clothes in a changing room when "Come Down With Love" by Allstar Weekend started playing. I spent a solid minute dancing before I realized my mother was waiting for me. 

It seems like these days all the music that is played on the radio is all about things that I don't want stuck in my head. "Your Love Is My Drug"...I don't do drugs. Your love is another thing I dont need to do. "I know that I'm bad, but I'm perfectly good at it!" That's not something I would be proud of? Why can't there just be simple love songs out there that just express...love? 

So, I'd like to post the lyrics to my favorite love song ever. 


"Some Space" by The Ready Set

I wanna wake at six AM, 
I'm gonna run to the edge and back again.
See the streetlights coming down, 
Set myself free from the ground.

I never bother feelin' like myself
And all sun and stylish and somethin' else.
Gotta wave bye each time I kiss you,
When I leave, I'm gonna miss you.

And not shake the sun state out,
I couldn't go right back to bed.
And I got the years planned out,
But will you come with me instead?
Oh, from Kansas to Carolina, I'm talkin' 'bout
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-love (la-la-la-la-ooh)
lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love (ooh, wa-ooh)
I'm talkin' 'bout love, whoa.

I like your dress and the way you walk,
I like the pretty things you say; 
I love to sit and listen while you talk.
If I can keep my mouth shut, I'd get my lights turned off.

Whoa-oh, when I'd be signin' off the rights to my heart,
Baby, right from the start- you made me fall right back apart, whoa.

And not shake the sun state out,
I couldn't go right back to bed.
And I got the years planned out,
But will you come with me instead?
Oh, from New York to California, I'm talkin' 'bout
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-love (la-la-la-la-ooh, ooh-ooh)
lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love (ooh, wa-ooh)
I'm talkin' 'bout love.

Why, won't, your world revolve around me?
Why, can't, you come and call me out, sweet?
Because I, I'll change for you.
And I, got a knack for you and the things you do.
Things you do...

Beauty is beneficial- she's a daydream.
I'm just her *act* tear me down when I'm *...*
Do you dress down to the blues, the bl-ues?
And I couldn't be happier right now.
I couldn't be happier, right now.

I checked the sunset out, I couldn't go right back to bed;
I've got the years planned out, 
But will you come with me instead?
Oh, from Fort Wayne to Arizona,
I'm talkin' 'bout love.

(Why, won't, your world revolve around me?)
(Why, can't, you come and call me out, sweet?) 



"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...
It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is,
If you don't risk everything, you risk even more."
-Erica Jong
