Life's a song you don't get to rehearse...
and every single verse...can make it that much worse.
It doesn't matter if somethings come out wrong.
We'll sing a happy song...and you can sing along!
I've posted here before about Joss Weadon's fantastic musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One song in particular has always resonated with me, despite the gender differences of me and the singer it is really an accurate description of how I feel a lot of the time; particularly during and after this very loooooong weekend. For most of my life this song felt pretty accurate, but now even more so (and with an even greater gender-bending twist). At the climax of the song, Buffy's lover Spike reassures her about the purpose of life (and a fairly accurate answer to that age old question if you ask me); and she finds a reason to keep going. Up until now; I never really had anyone in my life to "sing" that part to me; but if my life were this song (and it sure does feel like it sometimes), somnium_antiu would be my Spike (yeah I know that sounds weird, but just go with it). As koo-koo as this sounds, watch the video and it will make a lot more sense.
(I hope that this came out romantic and not just weird and creepy)
This is not to say that somnium_antiu and I are dancing around the condo singing...though she has promised to sing one thing to me if she's around for the event; There is one verse, from one song, that I have asked her to sing to me just before I leave this existence...I am fairly certain I'll hear her sing it at that moment; whether she's actually there with me or not.
Hmm...I think I'll post that song next; thankfully it's not from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
It's from Repo: The Genetic Opera :)
