My dear friend Sorrow sent me this song today by the Smashing Pumpkins. It brings to mind superheros like Batman, but it also brings Sorrow to mind. It's a fantastically emotional song.
Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There's no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange

The Killing Moon
Echo & The Bunnymen
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

The Man Who Cried

Last night I didn't feel like going to bed yet and it was about 11pm, so I decided to watch one of the movies I got from netflix. The man who cried was about an hour and forty minutes long so it was perfect. I sat in the dark and watched this movie and cried pretty much the whole time. The story is good. I enjoyed the actors, but it was the music that murdered me. Through the entire thing, I was spellbound. If I had more than 11$ at the moment the soundtrack would be mine.
PS Johnny Depp is in the movie and he says maybe 4 full sentences. But he stands there and looks pretty a lot, which is okay with me too. I love Cate Blanchett in this too.

Equilibrium

Equilibrium is a movie starring the beautiful Christian Bale. It was so good that i had to watch it twice back to back. It's set in a future where human emotion is outlawed. People are given drugs to make them not feel. There are people who oppose this and they are the outlaws. Then there are the Cleric. They are specially trained to find and eradicate these outlaws. Christian Bale plays one of these clerics who accidentally goes off his meds and starts to feel. The story is pretty great and the acting is wonderful and if you are a fan of action, there are some pretty kick ass action sequences as well.
Don't judge the movie by this picture *laughs*
My next netflix movies are going to be PS I Love You and The Man who Cried. I will let you know how they are.

Awake at 1:30am, reading poetry...
When I Too Long Have Looked Upon Your Face
WHEN I too long have looked upon your face,
Wherein for me a brightness unobscured
Save by the mists of brightness has its place,
And terrible beauty not to be endured,
I turn away reluctant from your light,
And stand irresolute, a mind undone,
A silly, dazzled thing deprived of sight
From having looked too long upon the sun.
Then is my daily life a narrow room
In which a little while, uncertainly,
Surrounded by impenetrable gloom,
Among familiar things grown strange to me
Making my way, I pause, and feel, and hark,
Till I become accustomed to the dark.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

another by Edna St. Vincent Millay
I think I should have loved you presently
I THINK I should have loved you presently,
And given in earnest words I flung in jest;
And lifted honest eyes for you to see,
And caught your hand against my cheek and breast;
And all my pretty follies flung aside
That won you to me, and beneath your gaze,
Naked of reticence and shorn of pride,
Spread like a chart my little wicked ways.
I, that had been to you, had you remained,
But one more waking from a recurrent dream,
Cherish no less the certain stakes I gained,
And walk your memory's halls, austere, supreme,
A ghost in marble of a girl you knew
Who would have loved you in a day or two.
