Illegalities....

So, I was bored last night. Couldn't sleep, getting over a migraine and other various aches and pains. Finished my 10 chapter fanfiction I had been reading for days. It was good. I enjoyed it and sent comments to tell the writer so. These fanfic writers, they don't get paid, they run these huge websites on their own funds. Their currency is praise. Pretty pure currency as far as I am concerned, I mean you won't ever see a sweatshop based on paying the workers 1/4 the praise that everyone else gets. So I gave her some. Didn't cost me anything.

We saw "Garden State" the other day. Natalie Portman has such a pure face. Translucent skin... really just a very pretty girl. It was hard to connect the young woman on the screen with the girl from "The Professional" and "Leon".

Anyway, (I told you guys that my thoughts were going to be disjointed and scattered- it's your own fault for still reading if you get frustrated), I have had this song from that movie stuck in my head since we saw it. It gets reinforced everytime I see a commercial for the movie because they play a snippet of it over the last few seconds of the commercial. The only part of the song you can hear on the commercial says, "So, let go. Let go. Jump in." You can hear a synthesizer- taking the place of a bunch of instruments, a piano, a strong bass beat... and the voice is something of a cross between the lead singer for the Smashing Pumpkins and a sunrise. Hard to put a finger on, and harder to determine if it is male or female.

Anyway, I thought it was beautiful and haunting. I also was thinking that maybe Someone was trying to tell me something. So I went online and dug around to find the song. And I did. I downloaded it last night. It is a beautiful song called "Let Go" by a group called Frou Frou. I highly recommend it. Here are the lyrics. Maybe there is someone else out there who needs to hear these words set down in just this order as much as I did.


Let Go
by Frou Frou

Drink up baby doll
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing a tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go
So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then advances with the form
So, honey, back for more
Can't you see that all that stuff's essential?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can wait
You roll your eyes
We've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go
So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Yeah, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown.
