Love My Way

We've been kinda making it a thing to hit the movies on Friday night -- at least while there are all these good movies to see. It's a good signal that it is the weekend -- not just another weeknight. Plus, these movies!

Call me by your name was also incredible, with an incredible soundtrack that included this song:

There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun, my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces and making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart
But not in

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

So swallow all your tears, my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race

I feel so lucky, when I watch a movie about a great love, and hear some characters in said movie talk about how they haven't had a great love and probably won't now, that I get to be with mine. It isn't easy, mind you, but it's so worth it...

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Aw oh, Aw oh, Aw oh
Aaaaaa, Aaaaaa, Aaaaaa, Aaaaaaa

I Know Why (And So Do You)

We saw the coolest movie tonight!

It was so beautiful and surprising and heart-warming.

Most of all, it was about love, just like this song from the soundtrack:

Why do robins sing in December
Long before the Springtime is due?
And even though it's snowing, violets are growing
I know why and so do you
Why do breezes sigh every evening whispering your name as they do?
And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling?
I know why and so do you
When you smile at me I hear gypsy violins
When you dance with me, I'm in heaven when the music begins
I can see the sun when it's raining, hiding every cloud from my view
And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms?
I know why and so do you

I do know why, and I'm also grateful that being with my love doesn't mean being under the sea like it does for our heroine in The Shape of Water...

Letting the Cables Sleep

Sometimes I don't sleep so well.

I can almost always fall asleep, but then I wake up with my mind racing, and sometimes I just can't make it stop.

This song feels apropos:

You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

My friend posted this video on Facebook, and I must say, it's a powerful antidote to worrying, not to mention hilarious! Check it out!
