take this sinking boat and point it home
With the exception of Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Animated Feature, I was impressed with the Oscars this year. As much as I love ALL of the songs nominated for Best Song, none of them deserved it over Falling Slowly. Goodness gracious, I was nearly in tears watching Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova walk up to the podium to take their award for a film they shot with two handicams in 17 days. If you haven't seen Once, seeeeeee it.

Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.

  • Say what you mean, mean what you say
    all I can do is keep breathing
    the city should give me its key
    consider yourself one of us
    1,2,3,4 tell me that you love me more
    when the dawn comes tonight will be a memory, too
    tell me your secrets, ask me your questions
