The Little Things

OK.
I'm a living sappy love song.
The corniest of the corny... and... well... my demon blood seems to be asleep.
I can SO relate to ridiculous love songs and "love at first sight" whatevers. Sucks for a sarcastic, depressive creature like yours truly.

Soundtrack for the week:

Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru.

I love belting out this song. Just as much as I was yodeling Imago's Akap last year. :) Songs have such power. I recommend you look up the video of Kingdom Hearts in youtube. Powerful stuff.

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

The daily things
(like this and that and what ...)
that keep us all busy
all confusing me thats when u came to me and said,

Wish i could prove i love you
but does that mean i have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when i say so,
And maybe somethings are that simple

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings THE FUTURE DOESN'T SCARE ME AT ALL
NOTHING'S LIKE BEFORE!!!

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before!!!!

Aaand another discovery:

Sora, by Yoko Kanno (I'm such a fan)
Sung by Shanti Snyder

Win dain a lotica
En val tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint

Win chent a lotica
En val turi
Silota
Fin dein a loluca
Si katigura neuver
Floreria for chesti
Si entina

Lalala
Fontina Blu Cent
De cravi esca letisimo
Lalala
De quantian
La finde reve

Win dain a lotica
En vai tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint

It's in Ancient Romanji, roughly translated to:


In the darkness
The dragon wakes.
The dragon awakens.
To a heart that is
numbed with cold
the dragon takes.


With you at my side the
dragon sleeps.
On dragon wings
your wishes will leap.

lalala...
your wishes can
bring forth a destructive future.
lalala...
or you can
bring salvation.

In the darkness
The dragon wakes.
The dragon awakens.
To a heart that is
numbed with cold
the dragon takes.

Jhoanna will be back next week I can't hardly wait...
