Tell me your favourite lyrics.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

(via rudegirlriot)

1. hopefully this summer, my brother and i are getting semi-matching ones of “i love you” in sign language for our mom.  we might do different things for like, accessories (alzheimer’s ribbons, maybe something for our papa), but the “i love you” is going to be the centerpiece, if that makes sense.

2. i still want to get mumford and sons’ “love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears” somewhere, but i can’t decide if i want it above my ankle or on my back, near my shoulder.  i’d have more room to make the font bigger on my back, but i’m not sure if i want to pay for something that i won’t be able to see.

3. i found a quote from one of dave eggers’ books, “be strong, be brave, be true, endure.”  i like that a lot, and i thought it would be cute to put one phrase on the side of each of my fingers, so it’d be like “be strong” on my pointer, “be brave” on my middle, “be true” on my ring, and “endure” on my pinkie. 

so yeah.  we’ll see how that goes.

i’m lame, and am gonna do band and musician :P so here we go!

BAND: i’m probably gonna have to say mumford and sons.  their lyrics are absolutely gorgeous, and so is their music.  marcus’ voice is fantastic; it’s not perfect, but he’s so passionate, and i think that’s part of what i love so much.  and then ben, ted, and country just are the perfect compliment to his voice.  even though marcus has his name in the band, it’s not like he’s the main person, which i love.  they wouldn’t even be close to the same if any one of them was missing.  that makes me sound kind of cheesy, but it’s fine.  i can listen to them no matter what mood i’m in, and their songs just seem to mold themselves around whatever i’m feeling at the time.  even though they’ve only been around for a couple of years, my dad showed them to me before they started getting radio airplay and stuff, and i kind of feel like i’ve seen them grow, if that makes sense?  i also want some of their lyrics to be my first tattoo (“love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears”), which i guess could be considered a big deal.  i don’t know, they just really mean a lot to me.

MUSICIAN: ben folds gets this one, hands down.  you know how so many people say that taylor swift describes their lives in her songs and all that stuff?  ben folds does that for me.  i have a playlist on my ipod to make me feel better when i’m feeling sad, and he’s got at least four or five songs on there (“learn to live with what you are,” “there’s always someone cooler than you,” “best imitation of myself,” “still fighting it,” etc.).  his lyrics are so smart and clever and at the same time, he does an amazing job of capturing emotions.  he’s ridiculously talented, both vocally and on the piano, and even though i’m being repetitive here, he’s a brilliant songwriter.  AND he just did an album collaboration with nick hornby, where nick wrote the lyrics and ben wrote the music.  this is just too much awesome to handle.  “the luckiest” is one of my favorite songs of his, one of my favorite songs in general, and i would really, really love it if it was my wedding song.  i hope my husband likes ben, or at least likes the song, because if we don’t use “the luckiest,” then…i don’t really know.  i’m sure we could work around it, but for now, it’s “the luckiest” or nothing.
