Such Great Heights

 Page 1518

HELLOOOOO.

Been a while huh.

I've just been getting lazier. 

Literally spent the rest of the day lazing away after work today.

Whatever, it's the weekends.

Caught this movie called 'Garden State' (2004).

It's always been on my watchlist since I watched a video of Frou Frou's song 'Let Go' during my Secondary School Days.

Man, this movie really got to me.

It's about a troubled actor that that came back after a decade to attend his mother's funeral.

He went on this healing journey to sort of 'find himself' throughout the movie and confronted past issues such as his overbearing father. That was.. a lot. All this while battling through his mental health issues.

As dark as it was, it had lighter tones to it as he came across a quirky girl whom he fell in love with. They're moments together were so sweet. 

With them embracing and her asking; ''How are you feeling?'

And he responds 'Safe. When I'm with you, I feel so safe. Like I'm home.' 

This movie gave me a lot of feels for some reason. It was nostalgic, and had a few comedic moments too. Haha. I'm glad I finally got to watch it.

Have a good weekend. x

Love, Eran.

Current Song Mood: Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death

When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You'll hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay
