Best of FIWK
Aaron: "Let me tell you, Gretzky was no Gandhi."
MP: "I'd like to swim in Scrooge McZuckerberg's silo of money."
Royce: "Im like the george dubya of fiwk!"
Aaron: "If you could hear me, you would hear my voice getting all high like a teenage girl meeting Justin Timberlake"
Scott: "I could also write 'How to Turn 5 Sentences into 1: Thoughts on the Ellipsis'"
Aaron: "Wait, so this is your second non-consecutive year living in Paris? Does that make you the Grover Cleveland of Americans residing in Paris?

I also considered Someone Like you by Adele
ReplyDeleteIn my mind, this feels like a song right up Royce's alley. Haven't listened to this yet, but I already have the song stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteI'll come back later to apply Happy Faces.
Such a sad song.
ReplyDeleteCompletely a Royce special. Surprised you enjoy it Aaron.
4/5 Happy Faces.
I never actually watched the video until just now. I didn't realize it even shares the canoe on a river visual with Royce's previous selection.
ReplyDeleteI want to say it's the lyrics right from the beginning that suck me in and make me want to listen more. And then she repeats then often enough throughout the song. There's a really high level of emotion/energy for me in the lyrics "If I die young, bury me in sand, lay me down on a bed of roses..."
I like the poetry of "the sharp knife of a short life", but I am not a fan of how they draw out life. Diminishes the harshness of the line and the image, and stretching out a "short life" long seems strange to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat music compromise. Aaron you surprise me (in a good way) sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of surprises, MP that was a really in-depth lyrics analysis you did right there. As a college English major, I am really impressed. Can I interest you in some Shakespeare?
ReplyDeleteHey, I have my moments. I have a great appreciation for thoughtful, consonant lyrics - perhaps even more than a good melody. I just love constructing phrases that sound good to the ear. Would have been an English Major myself, but I have an appalling lack of tweed in my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteSo, I actually watched the Adele - Someone Like You video for the first time and noticed it takes place in Paris. I love it even more now.
