A Chasing After Wind

Because I feel like it, an incomplete list of my favorite lines from various songs.

When I think of all the times / I tried so hard to leave her / She will turn to me and start to cry / And she promises the earth to me and I believe her / After all this time I don't know why - Girl, The Beatles

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had - Mad World, Tears for Fears

But it won't be soon enough / Soon enough for me - Tug of War, Paul McCartney

There's only so much I can do for you / After all of the things you've put me through. - Must Get Out, Maroon 5

My whole life revolves around your absence - Superstar, Tegan and Sara

And I'm the one with no soul - Violet, Hole

So how do you do it / With just words and just music / Capture the feeling the my earth is somebody's ceiling - Chasing the Sun, Sara Bareilles

I'm empty and aching and I don't know why - America, Simon and Garfunkel

But then if you're so smart, then tell me / Why are you still so afraid? - Vienna, Billy Joel

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans - Beautiful Boy, John Lennon

Musicians I have discovered due to fanvids:

( Music! )

And that's just the ones I wasn't familiar with before, not the musicians I developed a fresh appreciation for because of fandom, another long list which includes the Rolling Stones and the Bravery.

In other news, my mother claims my childhood obsessions went something like this:

Dinosaurs -> Armadillos -> Cerberus -> Walruses

I have no memory of the armadillos phase. I think she's making it up.
