Cary Brothers - Ride

Don't ask me why I keep posting music lyrics on here. But, it's my blog, and I can do what I want. I like posting songs and lyrics that I think are totally awesome. I wish I could figure out how to post actual songs without being sued. But anyway, here's more.

This song is one of the most beautifully executed songs I've ever heard. The baleful mourning, yet possibility of hope comes through so well, even though the song is so very short. This is one of those songs that puts that weird feeling in my heart, like I could wander around for hours inside of it and always feel at home. There's no past to it, no blame. It's only explaining that I am who I am and will always be that way, just to accept me, allow me to love, and help me to move on. The ambiguity of this song is so engrossing, how it can apply to just about any aspect of anyone's life. That's something that makes the artistry of music so appealing to me - if you can touch masses of people, even by saying so little, you have real talent. I envy that.

Cary Brothers - Ride

You are everything I wanted
The scars of all I’ll ever know

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride…

You saw all my pieces broken
This darkness that I could never show

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride…

Thank you for calling tech support - this is Hermione.

I've tried to hold out. Alas, today, I inconspicuously slipped back into the familiarity and comfort of Mugglenet. (I'm sorry, HJ - I held out for as long as I could!)

Any of you who know me, should already know by now, that I am a Harry Potter fanatic. This feels exactly like AA - "I'm Jennifer, and I'm addicted to Harry Potter." I dress up and go to midnight book parties and movie releases. I would sell Heather out and let you know that she does it with me, but I'm not sure if she wants me mentioning that. So, I won't.

In fact, the last book party we went to (at B&N, last year) was for the Half-Blood Prince, and I went dressed as Bellatrix LeStrange (look her up), and I won the costume competition. How's that for fanatical? *wink* Of course, I'm stressed as crap, because I exhausted the best costume I had for the last book party, won a free copy of the book, so now I don't know who to go as this year. &=( I really wanted to get Quidditch robes, but I don't see myself coming into that kind of money by July. Umm...so, any idears, you guys are more than welcome to pitch them. Just know, if I don't heed it, don't be offended. I DO have a certain "elitist" attitude and dignification I maintain for HP. What I'm saying is, I'm not going to go with a sheet thrown over my head, like Charlie Brown (again, Heather, I'm sorry - lmao).

I also like computers...a lot. I am one of the very few who can actually say I've always had a computer in my home, even if it started out as a Tandy TRS-80. A computer, nonetheless.

All this taken into consideration, I found this on Mugglenet, and felt it appropriate to share, in light of my..."personality." I do hope you can appreciate it:
