Lit student
Hey all. I know, OG8 will have to wait, cos the fantasy story is still in the works. I wanna get some stuff off my chest. Lately, I've been reaping the benefits of being a Lit student, with almost everything I hear being analysed and broken down. To encapsulate the current mood I'm in, first of all...a few songs.
Anyway -- Martina McBride (Country Music's Celine Dion)
You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might never come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This world's gone crazy
It's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea - sing it anyway
I sing
I dream
I love
Anyway
Sigh. I do it anyway. I guess the chorus speaks to me. Not forgetting the fifth stanza. But no, I'm not going into a full literature-like breakdown of the song. I haven't sunk to that depths yet. Draw your own conclusions, and maybe, perhaps, whoever's reading might wanna tell me what you think of the song.
Another one is gonna follow, this one's from Avenue Q.
There's a Fine, Fine Line -- Avenue Q
KATE:
There's a fine, fine line
Between a lover and a friend
And there's a fine, fine line
Between reality and pretend
And you never know 'til you reach the top
If it was worth the uphill climb
There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time
There's a fine, fine line
Between a fairytale and a lie
And there's a fine, fine line
Between "you're wonderful" and "goodbye"
I guess if someone doesn't love you back
It isn't such a crime
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time
And I don't have the time to waste on you any more
I don't think you even know what you're looking for
For my own sanity I've got to close the door
And walk away
There's a fine, fine line
Between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line
Between what you wanted and what you got
You gotta go after the things you want
While you're still in your prime
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time
Oh crap, that's so true man.
Nuff said.
Draw your own conclusions, people.
