Love Day

Tomorrow (May 9th) is my 2 year anniversary for this blog. time flies when you’re having fun! knowing that my anniversary was approaching, I wanted to do something special to celebrate. I was tossing around ideas today, in order to post tomorrow for the actual day, when I unexpectedly fell into a Love Day.

The term “Love Day” is one I stole from an old fan-fiction but basically it’s when you suddenly feel very schmoopy towards your loved one and your heart just wants to burst with the lovey-dovey feelings. so the “something special” is coming to you a day early. it’s nothing extravagant, just a simple slide-show with some of my favorite pics of Richard. as always, I’m including background music. it’s a song that has always held personal meaning to me in relation to Richard, it’s kind of like my RA theme song.

(the link will take you to the song on YouTube, in a separate window, so you can play it in the background while viewing the slideshow here. there’s a quiet point in the song when you think it’s over, but it’s not, so just keep looking at Richard…)

I could easily imagine this being in any living room, except mine. Those polka-dot throw pillows are not really my style; they make me want to connect all the dots! When I was young my cousin used to play connect-the-dots on my arms because I have so many moles 🙄

and now the Music question:

another top 5 song (different from questions 1 or 2)

We Must Be Crazy by Milow

“it’s a long life to live and I’m learning how to forgive myself for all the things I did. We are ordinarily beautiful, open to be ridiculed, common as the grass that grows so slow.”

I’ve become personally connected to this song, even including some of the lyrics in a certain letter recently…I prefer the lyric video I linked here instead of the official video though, not only because the focus is an ongoing road- which is a form of path- but also because the official video is sad and freaky (it’s about a mechanical baby that was built in response to a miscarriage). The video haunted me for weeks, I even lost sleep over it 😯

You Don’t Know

Lucas and Maya

(You Don’t Know by Milow)

**this isn’t the best recording but I love the Ukelele 🙂

Sometimes everything seems awkward and large

imagine a Wednesday evening in March

Future and past, at the same time

I make use of the night, start drinking a lot

although not ideal, for now it’s all that I’ve got

It’s nice to know your name

You don’t know

you don’t know

You don’t know anything ’bout me

An ocean, a lake, I need a place to drown

let’s freeze the moment because we’re going down

Tomorrow you’ll be gone

You’re laughing too hard, this all seems surreal

I feel peculiar, now what do you feel?

Do you think there’s a chance that we can fall?

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

What do I know? I know your name

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

Anymore

I gave up dreaming for awhile

I gave up dreaming for awhile

I’ve noticed these are mysterious days

I look at it like a jigsaw-puzzle and gaze

With wide open mouth and burning eyes

If only I could start to care

my dreams and my Wednesdays aren’t going nowhere

Baby, baby, baby you don’t know

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

What do I know? I know your name

You don’t know

you don’t know

You don’t know anything ’bout me

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

What do I know? I know your name

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

Anymore.

Fun facts: the official video for this song takes place at a Circus and there is a concert version on an album called  From North to South; it all comes back to Richard 😉
