my favourite accident

it occurs to me, that ever since i came upon motion city soundtrack, somewhere in highschool, i've never been able to really get sick of their music...
you know, like when you download a new album by a new band or one you already know,
you listen, listen, listen to it on your way to school/work/whatever, for around 3 weeks, then you shuffle-play the songs one more week, and then it's time to move on.
but with Motion City Soundtrack it's always been exceptionally soothing to go back to one of their songs at the end of the day, or at least once a week when i can't sleep, or every time i've scored a great new experience, i just put on Capital H [my most favourite song in the world] and rock out with my air guitar. Or even if my ipod's not around, there will always be a mcs tune accompanying me silently from the background.
well, this post is basically pointless, since i'm only talking about music, but it's so overwhelming to me that i had to share it. full stop.



so here i present to you,
the 13 best songs of 2007,
and my favourite lines form them:

#1 fell in love without you
"last night i fell in love without you, i waved goodbye to that heart of mine beating solo on your lawn.."
a wonderful story of letting go and moving on.
#2 this is for real
"you are the night-light, ripping through my wicked world, how you make it sparkle and glow.."
it's catchy and cute, and so very mcs:)
#3 it had to be you
"what a disaster it would be if you discovered that i care, a little too much for friends, but not enough to share.."
aah i wish i could implant that song in my head and always have it with me. so true.
#4 last night
"no time for halfhearted goodbyes,i turn on the spotlight and flee from the scene,[...] i can't compete with all your damn ideas, this isn't working out for you and me..."
that's just how it goes sometimes, love the sound of this one.
#5 calling all cops
i love the way every verse ends, but clearly it's because he says 'calling all cops and autobots' :}
#6 can't finish what you start
"i'm completely bored with every single word, and nothing ever works, and this juvenile search is systematically revealing to me, that i need a new approach.."
story of my life.
#7 conversation
"i had a pocket full of dreams, but I gave them all to you, now i think i want them back.."
sometimes that's love.
#8 broken heart
"but i get carried away with every page in every magazine,
the cheaper the thrill, the deeper i fill my head with blasphemy.."
#9 hello helicopter
"we all waste and consume, destroy and ruin everything we touch, it's easy not to think we will not kill that much.."
will we ever get it right?
#10 where i belong
this is where i run out of words, that describe how this is the best song ever..
#11 point of extinction
"there's nowhere you can hide, from the lessons or the lies you'll find out.."
aaah-mazing!
#12 antonia
"she drinks a lot of chardonnay, she hates the way i comb my hair, but she married me last june, i cried a lot and then we spooned, without her in my life i would be doomed.."
don't worry justin, i love your hair!
#13 even if it kills me
"i'm really not as stubborn as i seem, said the knuckle to the conrete.."
!!!

"dreams are the touchstone of our character"

if you are looking for the fuel to thrive, rather than survive, a reason to believe, or even a way to thwart futility, begin here. without dreams, what is there to fuel the soul? think about it. get one of your very own - be it a dog, or the notion of climbing a mountain top, knowing if the sea really tastes like salt, seeing that one perfect sunset - and let it be something that reflects the essence of who you are.

hi, hello

isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes,
but when you look back one day, everything's different?
so i'll get into this blog,
and hope i enjoy being reminded of it one fine day..

xoxo,
Lin
