Dear Electra,
I am at the public library with my noisy laptop and you. I'm listening to the 'Naked Brothers Band' as always since last week. I think I'm over 'Boy Meets World' and 'Girl Meets World' now because instead I am 'sacrificing' my life to the NBB & Nat Wolff.
I have been writing so many (well, if you consider 4) songs inspired by the NBB. This is the first song I've written inspired from them, it's entitled 'A Connection Was Made' and is based on a letter:
I will try to converse
to an anti-slack
about our secret desires
and entering perilous tracks.
This chap knew how to live
he was smart, sporty and charming.
But underneath it all
was a vision full of harming
(was a vision full of harming)
A connection was made
between the two of us
both scared, frightened & startled
but neither surprised, blushing or puzzled.
We knew a today
that a connection was made
(a connection was made)
The depression departed
and contentment started
I look at the past
remembering at long last
the sun found us all
A connection was made
between the two of us
both scared, frightened & startled
but neither surprised, blushing or puzzled.
We knew a today
that a connection was made
(a connection was made)
Flash forward to the day
the day that exclaimed 'yay'
we found each other leading a powerful life
A connection was made
between the two of us
both scared, frightened & startled
but neither surprised, blushing or puzzled.
We knew a today
that a connection was made
(a connection was made) (2x)
I asked my mother for a song theme last night and she replied with "being virtuous." I haven't finished it yet, but here's what I have written as the first verse and pre-chorus:between the two of us
both scared, frightened & startled
but neither surprised, blushing or puzzled.
We knew a today
that a connection was made
(a connection was made) (2x)
Lead a life full of hope
lead a life full of love
and you'll figure it out
remember what Ben said:
"Eat not dullness; drink not to elevation."
And a true life is what you'll take hold of
While you weep or mourn,
know that this will be over soon.
I think that was the most hippie-sounding song I'd imagine writing. No surprise that I feel hippy every day.
Okay, enough about writing songs. My second and last week of Term 3 holidays have been more 'chilled out' than the first. Gwen was supposed to come over on Tuesday, but she couldn't because she was sick. I guess I have to tell her about my songwriting and obsession with the NBB next week.
Later on tonight, my family and I will attend a pyjama party to celebrate our friends' birthday. It sounds exciting as it is (I hope so). I love slumber-like parties.
