Musical Post 9 - I choose you

Sara Beirelles is like Colbie Caillat to me, I like amost anything they sing. And sometimes, depending on the stage of effort I am in my run, I'm not sure which voice is coming from my ipod.

And both have inspired me on my writings more than once. It's like my muse dreams of their muse as companion.

This Sara song - I choose you - is so lovely, it has everything to do with the last book I wrote, the closing romance for my first series - the modern fairytales.

Let just enjoy the soft voice and romantic lyrics.

Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
'Cause I could live by the light in your eyes
I'll unfold before you
Would have strung together
The very first words of a lifelong love letter
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose
you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose
you
I choose
You, yeah
There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me that you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me
And everything changed
And I believe in something again
My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose
You
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose
You
I choose
You
We are not perfect we'll learn from our mistakes
And as long as it takes I will prove my love to you
I am not scared of the elements I am underprepared,
But I am willing
And even better
I get to be the other half of you
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose
You, yeah
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose
You

Musical post 8 - Shine

Hi,

Here's another song that got me for a verse - in this case a lovely foursome of verses.

I wanna be the one you steal, you shield, 

that your love can heal. 

Aww... lovely isn't it?

I could easily write a good scene based on this.

The song is Shine by Years&years and as I own an Ipod shuffle, I never see faces or read names which prevents unnecessary prejudice. Frequently I get surprised by the artists that get my heart.

This is the case.

Here's the lyrics.

I remember us alone
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger
I've got, so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shiver with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm, can you
Show me how we can escape

I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
(Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh)
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined

It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find

Now that we can hear that sound
Now that you can hold me down
You can pull me under
You can raise everything to the ground
Everything I can arrange,
Every part of me you change
Just hold me together, tell me
You'll always want me to stay

I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
(Ooh oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh)
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined

It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find

I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one
That your love, that your love
Can heal
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one
That you'll love, that you'll love

It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight

You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've be waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've be waiting to find
It's you that I've be waiting to find

It's you that I've been waiting to find

Musical Post 3: We don't talk anymore

This is a song I hear all the time.

Coincidentally, when i discovered this song on VH1, I was writing my Princess #6 and her story has a lot in common with this song. 

But frankly, I don't know if what makes me like 'We don't talk anymore' so much is Charlie's Puth' voice, or Selena's (ha!) or the tunes... Maybe a mix of it all with the lyrics that in my opinion make a perfect fit.

I particular like this verse: Should've known your love was a game, now I can't get you out of my brain, oh, it's such a shame

It's another loooong lyric, but I can't edit it. So, let us just sing along. Shall we?

We don't talk anymore, we don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore, like we used to do

We don't love anymore

What was all of it for?

Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do

I just heard you found the one you've been looking

You've been looking for

I wish I would have known that wasn't me

Cause even after all this time I still wonder

Why I can't move on

Just the way you did so easily

Don't wanna know

What kind of dress you're wearing tonight

If he's holding onto you so tight

The way I did before

I overdosed

Should've known your love was a game

Now I can't get you out of my brain

Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore, we don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore, like we used to do

We don't love anymore

What was all of it for?

Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do

I just hope you're lying next to somebody

Who knows how to love you like me

There must be a good reason that you're gone

Every now and then I think you

Might want me to come show up at your door

But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong

Don't wanna know

If you're looking into her eyes

If she's holding onto you so tight the way I did before

I overdosed

Should've known your love was a game

Now I can't get you out of my brain

Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore (We don't, we don't)

We don't talk anymore (We don't, we don't)

We don't talk anymore, like we used to do

We don't love anymore (We don't, we don't)

What was all of it for? (We don't, we don't)

Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do

Like we used to do

here goes my Muse...

Musical Post 2: The sound

So, the new songs in my Ipod.

The 1975 apparently is a famous group of which I had NEVER heard about until last weekend when they rocked São Paulo's Lollapaloza festival. Yeah, well, shame on me.

Now I am a fan.

Favorite so far: The sound.

What's not to like? Great beat, looong lyrics to die for... Love it.

Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound

I know the sound, of your heart

I can't believe I forgot your name

Oh baby won't you come again?

She said "I've got a problem with your shoes and your tunes

But I might move in" and

"I thought that you were straight, now I'm wondering"

You're so conceited, I

Said "I love you"

What does it matter if I lie to you?

I don't regret it but I'm glad that we're through

So don't you tell me that you 'just don't get it'

'Cause I know you do

Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound

I know the sound, of your heart

It's not about reciprocation it's just all about me

A sycophantic, prophetic, Socratic junkie wannabe

There's so much skin to see

A simple Epicurean Philosophy

And you say I'm such a cliche

I can't see the difference in it either way

And we left things to protect my mental health

But you call me when you're bored 

and you're playing with yourself

Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound

I know the sound, of your heart

Here's what I think of a possible plot: Supernatural! Ha!

Gotta just give my muse time to 

spread her wings!... ;)
