Clark Gable by The Postal Service

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie
So I changed my plans I rented a camera and a van and then I called you
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set" and then called "action!"
And I kissed you in a style that Clark Gable would have admired (I thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

I frakin love this band/song/lyrics/story... I find it sadly romantic and have it on my list of things I want to do before I die. Film a scene that explains my feelings on romance. Whatever that means. hah.

Favorite songs, by my favorite bands.. A sharing post :)

In no particular order:



He is Legend -- The Seduction
"Well I'll meet you at the river
where we both can clear our heads
I think we would look great dead."




The Distillers -- City of Angels

Stripped of the right to be a human in control
It's warmer in hell so down we go



Ida Maria -- Queen of the World

Whiskey please, I need some whiskey please
So bring me consciousness and kill my innocence



Phoenix -- 1901

Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated



Sage Francis - Got Up This Morning

Let me spell it out in simple language
Plain English
I want your suicide to be a book of mine that I never finish


I could go on forever...

This light looks good on you.

Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse.

One of my all time favorite bands. My guy friends went to see them last night in SF and I'm insanely jealous... This band has a way of touching my heart...

I'm frail, like weight on a leaf..

Now Sleep Child Just Sleep...

Source -- I am absolutely in love with this set. Makes me think of one of my favorite songs (from one of my favorite bands He Is Legend). The song is "China White II"



"I am the noises that you hear when you're in bed.
And I'll be the last face that you see before you're dead."
