one more night by stars

最近重听stars的set yourself on fire. 6年了啊，流行音乐就应该做成这样。
贴个one more night的歌词，这首歌写的是男女分手的最后一夜。每一句单拿出来都很有力量。

Try as he might he’s unable to speak
He grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
The bed is unmade like everything is
Dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
Take me like that, ruin it all
Then build it again by the light in the hall
He drops to his knees says please my love, please
I’ll kill who you hate, take off that dress, you won’t freeze

One more night, that was a good one
One more night, i dreamed it was a good one
One more, one more night, that was a good one
One more night, the end should be a good one
A good one

He starts with her back cause that’s what he sees
When she’s breaking his heart she still fucks like a tease
Release to the sky, look him straight in the eye
And tell him that now, that you wish he would die
You’ll never touch him again so get what you can
Leaving him empty just because he’s a man
So good when it ends, they’ll never be friends
One more night, that’s all they can spend

The twenty-fifth hour

We’ll drive. Keep driving. Head out to the middle of nowhere, take that road as far as it takes us. You’ve never been west of Philly, have ya? This is a beautiful country, Monty, it’s beautiful out there, like a different world. Mountains, hills, cows, farms, and white churches. I drove out west with your mother one time, before you was born. Brooklyn to the Pacific in three days. Just enough money for gas, sandwiches, and coffee, but we made it. Every man, woman, and child alive should see the desert one time before they die. Nothin’ at all for miles around. Nothin’ but sand and rocks and cactus and blue sky. Not a soul in sight. No sirens. No car alarms. Nobody honkin’ atcha. No madmen cursin’ or pissin’ in the streets. You find the silence out there, you find the peace. You can find God. So we drive west, keep driving till we find a nice little town. These towns out in the desert, you know why they got there? People wanted to get way from somewhere else. The desert’s for startin’ over. Find a bar and I’ll buy us drinks. I haven’t had a drink in two years, but I’ll have one with you, one last whisky with my boy. Take our time with it, taste the barley, let it linger. And then I’ll go. I’ll tell you don’t ever write me, don’t ever visit, I’ll tell you I believe in God’s kingdom and I’ll see you and your mother again, but not in this lifetime. You’ll get a job somewhere, a job that pays cash, a boss who doesn’t ask questions, and you make a new life and you never come back. Monty, people like you, it’s a gift, you’ll make friends wherever you go. You’re going to work hard, you’re going to keep your head down and your mouth shut. You’re going to make yourself a new home out there. You’re a New Yorker, that won’t ever change. You got New York in your bones. Spend the rest of your life out west but you’re still a New Yorker. You’ll miss your friends, you’ll miss your dog, but you’re strong. You got your mother’s backbone in you, you’re strong like she was. You find the right people, and you get yourself papers, a driver’s license. You forget your old life, you can’t come back, you can’t call, you can’t write. You never look back. You make a new life for yourself and you live it, you hear me? You live your live the way it should have been. But maybe, this is dangerous, but maybe after a few years you send word to Naturelle. You get yourself a new family and you raise them right, you hear me? Give them a good life, Monty. Give them what they need. You have a son, maybe you name him James, it’s a good strong name, and maybe one day years from now years after I’m dead and gone reunited with your dear ma, you gather your whole family around and tell them the truth, who you are, where you come from, you tell them the whole story. Then you ask them if they know how lucky there are to be there. It all came so close to never happening. This life came so close to never happening.

这回是真写不出作业来了…

写不出来就不写了。说起来我办事可真够拖拉的。音频线坏了好几个月我竟然一直忍住没听音乐忍到现在.今天新买的劣质音频线终于到了，于是赶紧library随机放了一把，听到了每次都被我跳过得王菲的旋转木马。想起高中班级告别的时候班主任就放的这首歌。班主任是个三十多岁白白净净的贤妻良母，写字也很工整，教书也很稳健。因为她长得很像tori amos所以我一直觉的她特漂亮。但是现在甚至连她的姓都记不起来了（哦不对，想了一晚上，写到这儿的时候突然记起来了）。我记得有一次开学，我干了什么不得体的事，放学被叫去空无一人的实验室。她也不教训我，我那个时候比较顽劣，教训了也不听（当然现在更甚）。她就跟我聊天，聊我寒假做了什么，爸爸妈妈怎么样。她说你放了个假回来，怎么声音突然大了许多……我当时大概说了句“觉得周围很吵”。那天傍晚，聊着聊着我竟然就泪如雨下了。真是不可思议。毕业之后从来没有回想过这些事情，从来没有把她当成个正经的人物来怀念。现在才觉得，她肚子里得存着多少的爱，才能用些家长里短就把我轻易打败！
贴两张tori老师在strange little girls里的角色扮演，这两个形象和她给我的感觉特别相似。

Current Obsession: Accessories Spr11-1

I’ve fnally decided to write a series of articles on fashion pieces that I (PERSONALLY) covet at various points of time, in the hope of building my wardrobe in a nonrandom fashion. The debut will be attributed to accessories that appear early in the spring catalogue.

1. Romanticizing Shades -

I am never a sunglasses person, which means my search for ideal sunglasses will come to an end once every classic shape is collected and ready to go. Now I’m only one step away, with that one step being cat-eye. However, my heart falls once in a while for those little beauties that no one could resist. These Dolce sunglasses with floral printed frame are a perfect alternative if you, like me, are having a hard time fitting in the general trend of massive/psychedelic prints and think they are tacky.  Pair it with any clean and soft outfit, and leave the story to texture and weaving.

2. Invigorating Leopard -

I was talking to Michael in the YSL store the other day about these scarves, when, for the second time in a short time, he got so happy that he wrapped it around his own neck and looked ecstatic…Leopard is reinvented into something neither boring nor prohibitive. The deformation and the bleach give it the right amount of variation and surprise. Not to mention the violet color that pops up tbe everyday palette of black and white.

3. A feminine touch on something masculine -

When my mom asked me what I wanted for new year present I said driving gloves, you can’t go wrong with driving gloves. Now these Vuittons are even cooler with chains and jewels dangling around. She didn’t got those for me in the end, which is good, because I get to keep the sweet hunt to myself.

4. When exotics go fresh and elegant -

One of the charms of the YSL spring/summer 2011 runway collection is that it brings together Sahara and Barcelona, imo. These Baobab platform sandals come in organge and teal; and they are the last to hit stor so I only saw a sample pair. On the side, the giant python wedge is totally wild, but then on top you get something completely refined and delicate. To me there’s another plus: the (architectual) split wedge is an substantial improvement from the previous “Woodstock” sandals which I almost wanted except for their ugly, separate platform with no elevation.

Now I know these will come at a hefty price around $2,000. But nothing seems to attract my attention in the prefall and fall/winter collection. And after that, who knows if we can still survive..

5. Make the trench swing -

 In this Fendi trench, I wanted to to do nothing but listen to Jennifer Connelly singing Sway  in Dark City. I can see the lady saying goodbye to her beloved one in the rain, or running withouth a destination, in a Jean-Luc Godard movie. It’s not that it’s sad, it’s the comedy, the light weight of the silk and the flaring pleats. It’s the melodrama.

6. In the cold light of morning -

I love translucency. I love the round shoulders, the barely-there collars, the baggy sleeves. I love the feel that everything is brought back to the prenatal stage, when you see the world through a memebrane, not touching or touched by a thing. Like the first few gleams of the sun, like I’m running through a dewy field. How could something feel extraterristrial and organic at the same time? Guess I just love translucency too much looool.

I sat by the pond and watched waves spread and merge. My mind had been perturbed by both the recent disasters and the hedonism sent from the last House episode. I smoked nonstop. I hugged superfically. I talked superficially. Spring is waking up, unresolved love is all around. I recalled the dream across the cornfield, with the old maid and her porridge-making machine. “Seduction – is what you must be aware of.” Then this could all be a seduction of destruction. I sat back, relieved, while still couldn’t help wondering, am I just being inappropriately theatrical.

Anyway, it feels good, in some sense, to be the last generation of human race.

Ackermann kept me listening to Leonard Cohen

The most beautiful show in Paris, or perhaps the whole world, around this time.

It would be nice to sit down and watch blade runner on a rainy day.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the
shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser
Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.
