Made a desperate decision In the hours to come
190th post. Don't know how I should feel about that.
You know, I think a lot of old songs are so perfect, but so obscure. 'Let It Go' is this classic example precisely because everyone remembers the Bangles for songs like Walk Like An Egyptian and Manic Monday and Eternal Flame. I don't think those are really representative of anything, to say the least, no offense to anyone of course. There are all the hidden gems in the albums, like Live, Angels Don't Fall In Love, Following, Let It Go, Return Post, Complicated Girl, Waiting For You, Some Dreams Come True, Make A Play For Her Now, Mixed Messages, etc.
'Let It Go'! It's like,
THE Bangles song because it was written purely by all four of them. It's the only one. There's this very interesting story behind it and it's such an awesome songs, really.
Another Crash Wisdom song, 'I Don't Want To Say Goodbye'.
Feel the wind blow through the trees
The rhythm of the sea
The things you meant to me
Love is just a photograph
I hold it in my hands
And I want you to come back
The time has come
And we can’t hold on any longer
And I feel so lost inside
As time goes on we will find an understanding
But I don’t want to say goodbye
Dreams, the whispering inside
The wisdom of a child
The struggle to survive
Now, another morning comes
The promise of the sun
Now I want to feel alive
The time has come
And we can’t hold on any longer
It’s a sadness I can’t fight
Time passes by and we will find an understanding
But I don’t want to say goodbye
I can’t let go
But I can’t hold on any longer
And it hurts so much inside
I know some day we will find an understanding
But I don’t want to say goodbye
No I don’t want to say goodbye

I suddenly feel very happy. And liberated. I think, I want to feel like this everyday. All the time. Where I can just stand there, and walk, and talk, and
laugh, freely.
I want to learn how to play the ocarina! But an ocarina is really, really expensive so yeah. :/
I envy people who can do what they want, when they want. Because a lot of times you can't, because of certain constraints, e.g. money, time, permissions, talent, etc. For example, right now I really want to teach myself to play random Zelda OSTs, but I can't because I'm supposed to be
revising. Even though I've already revised.
For the sake of adding randomness to this post, I'm going to say that companionship is even more touching than love. What
is 'love'? I don't know, for me it's just two people professing to like each other a lot. Whatttttt. And to me companionship is more... silent, better shown through actions. Sometimes, the closeness of two individuals speaks more than people who 'love' each other. They may not love each other, but the idea of trusting one another with their lives is more worth treasuring. It's a measure of trust, between people who trust each other enough to keep all their secrets and everything. There's something very precious about that sort of trust.
...even though I don't personally believe in it.
