A Beautiful Mess

"A Beautiful Mess"
 

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks ‒ they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like we're picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And "kind and courteous" is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
'Cause here, here we are, here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides ‒ they turn ‒ and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it.

Her

What if in the future, every interaction you make will be via an electronic interface?  There's something really sad about losing the human touch.  Technology is a mean to enhance your life on certain level but not to take over the human touch.  Recently, I saw "HER" the movie directed by Spike Jonze.  In the movie, Theodore was clearly a romantic who works as a writer at a love letter service which write "handwritten" love letters for other people.  Now, the idea that someone else writes a love letter for you to send to your love ones is already strange for me.  Maybe, I am too old fashioned... if you feel the need to express your love to someone, you should take the time to sit down with a pen and paper and write it yourself!  But they are not even handwritten!  In the movie, the future of technology allows you to speak to the monitor and it will do the writing or typing for you.  Another great technological improvement on the user interface…  I am not against technology, but I am struggling to fight to keep the human interaction with other human being on a more personal level.  I am the one to pick up the phone to call if you are too far to reach to hear someone's voice.  I am the one to give the biggest squeezable hug.  A text, an unsigned Christmas Card with photos of your children, are a few of my not so favorite things.  Back to the movie, it made me sad that someday we might lose the human touch all together…  I wish people would go back to the way things used to be when you don't have to hide behind a monitor or a screen to actually talk and look into someone's eyes, and their facial expressions.  It's irreplaceable!  

This song so beautifully written by Karen O and performed together with Vampire Weekend's leading singer Ezra Koenig.  I can listen to this all day...

Bright As Yellow

Have you ever listening to a song and it catches your attention and you kept replaying it on your iPhone several times and not get tired of the tune?  I found myself listening to this song over and over and over for the past two days now.  It's a bit obsessive but I can't help myself.  Then you find yourself singing it, not too loud because you are walking down the street and not wanting people to think you are crazy.  This song is perfect for my mood right now… a happy yellow.

This song is called "Bright As Yellow" by The Innocent Mission" - one of my favorite band.

My favorite part of this song is the electric guitar part 2:30 minutes into the song, listen…
