i've been listening to sigur ros a lot lately. especially the () album. it makes me think of iceland, and ed. i have also been listening to a mixed cd dave made me for my birthday last year. one day a couple weeks ago i couldn't get the melody of lover's spit by broken social scene out of my head and it took me hours to figure out what song it was, and when i finally did the satisfaction was incredible. i miss finding out about new music and i miss recordtime. i hope i'm not someone whose music horizon plateaus.
one of the reasons i am listening to sigur ros right now is because yesterday i watched vanilla sky for the second time in my life. the first time i watched it was several years ago, right when it came out on video, and i hated it. at least i remember hating it, mostly i remember it totally went over my head so i decided to hate it. several months ago i bought it because it was 6.50 and because i thought i would give it another shot. well since then, it has sat quietly on my dvd shelf, waiting to unleash it's awesomeness. and yesterday it got its chance. vanilla sky made me realize how much i hate cameron diaz. it also made me realize how i pretty much love every film that tom cruise has done (i mean can you really think of any bad ones?). at the very end of the movie when track four off of () starts playing (which i am listening to on repeat right now) and tom cruise bids a tearful goodbye to his dream reality, i'm crying too and wanting to join tom on that roof top. vanilla sky paints an amazing portrait of how we try to fit our lives and the people in it into this perfect mold, and while doing so we miss out on so many amazing things. life is fleeting, and that's why you shouldn't go the rest of yours without seeing vanilla sky.
