You're 23, but how can that be?

Oh this must be the bestest birthday I've had *smile* yes, it was my birthday yesterday and I'm 23 now and it's so shameless to proclaim it like this but I'm so happy!! *wheeeeee*

I have the bestest friends and the bestest boyfriend and oh, I'm just so grateful for everything I have! *mew*

This is my favourite Stars song! It's not very appropriate because it's kind of strange and melancholic but a bit self indulgent, which I like!

Going going going going going going going going
Going going going going going going going gone

Still hooked on cellophane
Hanging 'round the mall, and all
Each penny numbs the pain
Sends you gently for the fall
I followed you last night
I saw you turn your lights out
I know it wasn't right
I watched in fear and doubt

It's gotten to be that way
Going, going, gone
What did you do today?
Going, going, gone

Look good in that red dress
I bet the boyfriend's happy
Your face is scarred with age
You're twenty-three but, how can that be?

Still hooked on cellophane
Killing time with Gin and lime
Each second numbs the pain
Love's just another rhyme

It's gotten to be that way
Going, going, gone
I'm scared but I'm okay
Going, going, gone

There's nowhere
To move on
There's nowhere
To move on

All I see, yeah yeah, all I see
All I see, yeah yeah, all I see
All I see, yeah yeah, all I see
All I see, yeah yeah, is me everywhere
It's me

The rain won't change my heart at all

I'm in such a happy romantic mood! *twirl* partly because of the recent engagement I heard of, and the recent wedding I attended I guess *laugh* and mainly because of so many other lovely things! *mew*

Oh and I found such a romantic song from Magnetic Fields! Which is so strange in a way because Stephen Merritt has positively the most depressing songs above love too (which I also like a lot!) *laugh*

But just listen to this and tell me, isn't it such a perfect proposal song?

Why would I stop loving you
A hundred years from now
It's only time
It's only time

What could stop this beating heart
Once it's made a vow
It's only time
It's only time

If rain won't change your mind
Let it fall
The rain won't change my heart at all

Lock this chain around my hand
Throw away the key
It's only time
It's only time

Years falling like grains of sand
Mean nothing to me
It's only time
It's only time

If snow won't change your mind
Let it fall
The snow won't change my heart
Not at all

I'll walk your lands
And swim your sea

Marry me
Marry me

And in your hands
I will be free

Marry me
Marry me

Why would I stop loving you
A hundred years from now

It's another perfect day

I really like this New Pornographers album!! The electric organ and the guitars make me so happy! I just want to be swung around! *grin*

Sometimes I think I can be really easy to please *laugh* even the littlest things amuse me! Oh but I'm so thankful for that, because sometimes it's the littlest things that matter, the littlest things that can make the day seem so perfect! *smile*

I think this is the very first of their songs I heard, and I still love it so much! Check out the videos under the media section on their website, here!

Exploding international, the scenes, the sounds

And famously the feeling that you can't squeeze 'round

While tearing off another page of loose change, outrage

It's another perfect day, until the night shows

Exploding international, the wind did howl

The sky above was thick with rings of smoke and clouds

And hanging on the bleeding end of conscious, who's this?

Was there anything I missed, as far as you know?
As far as you know?

Was it all for swinging you around?
All for swinging you around?

Exploding international, the sun, the sights

The moments you are viewing through a beam of light

Propel you through the golden age, we crash-land the first page

On a crumbling world stage, into the front rows
Into the front rows

I'm all for swinging you around
All for swinging you around

And off your feet
All the love you found
Spinning 'round

We're twisting incognito with no time, can't talk

Can't tell if this is fantasy or culture shock

Or remnants of a golden age that's near mint unplayed
Or a welcome overstayed beneath the light show
Beneath the light show

All for swinging you around
