Think it's because we're so awesome?

Unexpectedly computerless the last few days (waaaaaaaah!) but that's been rectified. On with the meme! :-D

Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere

Hmmmmmmm. Now this one is proving difficult. A song that reminds me of somewhere. Weh? Oooh! I went to Spain with my high school Spanish class. This song reminds me of that. :-)

( La Distancia - Roberto Carlos. )

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone

T.B.D., by Live. T.B.D. stands for Tibetan Book of the Dead; follow the link if you want to know more about it. From the lyrics:

This is how, I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how, I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book.

( T.B.D. - Live )

Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

This is cheating a bit because the song itself doesn't make me sad. It's sweet and wistful and pretty much perfect.

I love Pink Moon. Like a ton of other people, I first heard it in the "Milky Way" mini-mini-film for the Volkswagen Cabrio. It's a beautiful commercial, there's no other word for it. No announcers, no dialogue, just four kids on their way to a party under an indigo night sky strewn with stars, the full moon overhead. If you haven't seen it, play it. It's absolutely lovely. Like the song, it's just about perfect.

I was immediately smitten with the tune and wanted to know more about Nick Drake, the artist behind the song. I found his bio and began to read, and I found that he'd died of suspected suicide many years before (1974). Between the video and the song, and how deeply I'd been touched by both, reading about his life and subsequent death triggered something and I cried.

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

Tons of songs make me happy, so this is a tough one. Oooh! Got it! I love this song, love the video. It's a perfect flashback to my youth -- minus the mayhem the kids were getting into toward the end of the video. Love the way Billy Corgan looks at 00:43, the look on his face, that sweet little smile. It makes me smile every single time I watch.

1979 - Smashing Pumpkins. Great song, great video. The one on Youtube is HD quality but can't be embedded, sadly. Go here to watch that one instead. :-)

Day 01 - Your favourite song

One song? Clearly sir, you're joking (for me, anyway). So, I'm going to cheat and post three of my favorite songs. I have many, many more. :-D

And! For this category at least, I'm going to avoid songs I've already posted about, or songs by groups I've talked about ad infinitum in my journal…which means no NSYNC, no Live and no Dave Matthews Band.

So...I watched the first episode of Law & Order UK on line a little earlier. Yay! :-D I've never watched the American version, though I love Law & Order SVU (mmmmm, Chris Meloni). I'm watching L&OUK for the mind-blowingly gorgeous Freema Agyeman, better known to some as Martha Jones from Doctor Who.

I've seen pictures of the cast online, and being completely shallow, wanted Alesha (her character) to hook up with Jamie Bamber's character, because HUMINA, Jamie Bamber is a babe. Silly me! Only seeing pictures of Ben Daniels I wasn't sure about his sexy-bility, but yes! After watching an episode I can say that yes, the man is pretty friggin' sexy. Also, his voice can melt chocolate. Honestly, his voice alone probably accounts for at least 90% of his sexiness.

Goodness, I have to fan myself.

Yes! So, while Freema and Jamie would be too much pretty together to humanly stand, I don't think I'd grumble too much if her character got together with Ben Daniels' character. And seriously, I really should learn these names.

Freema! She's just way too gorgeous to be believed. She's so tiny! And gorgeous! I would so go gay for this woman. ::weeps with Freema love:: Let's try embedding the video of her tiny gorgeousness...



Freema!

Question! What do you write to? (The cat has commandeered my keyboard, so this post is *much* shorter than I'd intended.)

Holy friggin' maholey. ( If you loved these books don't enter, unless you enjoy my lunatic ravings. )
