let go… ‘cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
Late 2008 I found a movie that I absolutely fell in love with. It touched me on so many levels… and inspired me to make plans to travel…. the movie is about sooooooo much– more than I could cover in a blog entry, at least at this time of the night… the characters are so… open, and vulnerable… and…. emotionally wounded.
The movie looks cheesy on the outside, but it speaks to my heart. They (the characters) are each in transition, and figuring out how to handle life in the meantime.
Death, broken engagements, break-ups, and broken hearts litter the movie and its plot, and from start to finish I find some of myself in each situation, each characters life, love, and pain.
Pretty scenery and beautiful music (albeit at times, cliché) from all over the world make the film delightful, even in its predictable moments. One particular song is heard right at the height of my first favorite scene, and it always gives me goosebumps. *sigh*
No one will like this movie but me. I’m sure of it. LOL. I know others will watch it and wonder why it means so much to me. Its hard to put my feelings into words…. Something about this film makes me hopeful. I feel like anything is possible, like even what I see with my eyes…. May not be what it appears. I feel like life has pleasant surprises in store, and this is huge, because as an adult in 2009, it can be difficult to find that youthful innocence that once came so effortlessly.
Ugh, I’m doing it again.. getting carried away and not making sense. Don’t mind me, I’m just daydreaming again. Been doing that a lot lately, and it feels nice. “Legend has it, when the Santa Anas blow, anything can happen.”
drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
‘Cause it’s all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you’re writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you’ve no idea what you’re like
[Chorus:]
So, let go,let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, l-let go
Just get in
Oh, it’s so amazing here
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can’t you see that all that stuff’s a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We’ve no time for later
Now you can’t await
your own arrival
you’ve twenty seconds to comply
[Chorus:]
So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It’s alright
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it’s so amazing here
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
[Background sounds]
[Chorus:]
So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It’s alright
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it’s so amazing here
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
In the breakdown
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown
So amazing here
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
