You could be happy

I have heard this song a thousand times, starting from the time I first heard it on Smallville (Promise-Season Six, Episode 16), but never really paid attention on the lyrics, never pondered that how deep they were.

Even if not seen in perspective of my, or anyone else's, life, these are some wonderful lyrics, as is the song.

You could be happy and I won't know 
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wish I had not said 
Are played in loops till it's madness in my head 

Is it too late to remind you how we were?
But not our last days of silent screaming blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure 
I should have stopped you from walking out the door 

You could be happy I hope you are 
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything i own, smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true 

Do the things that you always wanted to 
Without me there to hold you back don't think just do
More than anything I want to see you girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world. 

 Simply beautiful. 

There is another song I must mention, having wonderful lyrics (actually there are many more songs with lyrics perfectly soothing, its just that these two songs are coming to my mind right now). Its the title song of movie Have dreams, will travel, called Dreamin Aloud-

How do you speak in silence? 
Why do you speak when you're awake? 
If we just cut the tie-lines ,
then we can simply sail the way. 
Pack up you're things, write it all down, 
you'll soon be accustomed to the sound. 
Dreamin aloud...dreamin aloud....

I want to paint in colors, 
leaving the land black and white 
and if we do go back there 
we will see the day in light.
Ready to go, open the door 
just like the rainfalls from the cloud. 
Dreamin aloud...dreamin aloud.... 

Its a better day 
we are on our way 
it is anything you cant remember 
this is not just a dream.

Dont have to think about it, 
just like a river it will flow, 
we waited too long without it, 
if we just get up now and go. 
Open your eyes, and look around 
you'll be surprised what you've found. 
dreamin aloud..keep on dreamin...i am dreamin...dreamin aloud 
we are in our way...... 
keep on dreamin.

Now coming on the big news. Although something this big deserves its own entry, I was nonplussed that what would write about it, other than the main content, so I fused it in this one.

The news- Grand Theft Auto 4 is coming to PCs on 18th Nov (North America) and 21st Nov (Europe).

Its coming to us!!!!!!!!

And as I was about to finish the blog, this amazing song started playing in my playlist, which has some real deep lyrics too. Its Heartbeats, from Jose Gonzalez (and I came to know about it from the real great and super famous Sony Bravia's Color balls ad).

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away

Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief

Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolf teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough.

Have dreams, will travel

What is a great movie exactly? A movie which leaves impression on you, a long lasting impression? If this is the right definition, I just can't forget how deep impression of Bridge to Terabithia was on me. I was depressed for three days! Never had felt anything like that from any movie. Obviously, that movie made me a huge fan of both AnnaSophia Robb and Josh Hutcherson. And as a result, I was dying to see Have dreams, will travel. But the movie, although made in 2007, isnt released widely yet. It was only shown in some film festivals and thats it. I started searching, that I could find a copy anywhere. At last, I found. Obvioulsy, I didnt find it legally. In short, I pirated it. But I guess it dosent matter cause it wasnt released anyway.

Coming back to the movie. AnnaSophia and Cayden Boyd both deliever majestic performances. Their on screen chemistry is perfect and AnnaSophia's charm lits up the screen whenever she is on it. But it couldnt have been a great movie without good story, screenplay and direction. And it was relieving to see that it excels in all of these. Tale of a girl who had lost her parents recently in a car accident (although she dosent seem sad about it, a mystery which is) and a boy whose parents are so delved in their respective passions that it seems they dont even care if they have a son. They leave their home, to cassie's (AnnaSophia) aunt's (Heather Graham) home cause she is very hip. The tale of these two getting married, getting caught by police, ultimately reaching their destination and a very emotional revelation, is wonderfuly told. I have little doubt that both of these actors have bigger destiny on silver screen. There are certain people, certain actors you cant take your eyes off from, these are certainly such actors.

Its a rare movie and very very hard to find, but if you ever get a chance to see it, dont miss it. Here is a video of one of the most beautiful scenes from the movie-

Scene from Have dreams, will travel.

Getting bored is something synonymous with being at home. To get out of these monotonous vacations, I am watching a lot of movies these days. What could have been better to watch both of the movies inwhom Casey Affleck gabe some of the best performances this year, also getting an Oscar nomination for one. So yeah, I watched both- 'Gone baby gone' and 'Assassination of Jeese james by coward Robert ford'. In both of these movies, Casey affleck gives performances which triumph all his previous performances and indicate that he has come in a big way.

Gone baby gone, based on famous novel of  Dennis Lehane of the same name, is story of a private investigator who agrees to investigate an abduction of a little girl, who is missing and nobody has demanded anything. Starting from her drug addict mother, he reaches far into the mystery and just when it seems everything has ended, another abduction throws him where what he will discover will force him to take a decision he might regret his whole life. The best part of this movie, is the end. It is not the typical end, nor it is the one everyone would expect. Instead, its an ending which makes audiences perplexed. Its all your real character who would decide whether what happened was correct, or not.

Casey affleck handles the movie on his shoulders alone and he succeds, without a shred of doubt. Ben affleck cast his brother in movie he was directing, which probably didnt seem well for everyone initially, but the outcome proves that his belief was not misplaced.

Assassination of Jesse james on the other hand, is a western, with both Brad pitt and Casey affleck performing some of the best performances of this year. Brad pitt as Jesse james, a convict of train robberies and murders, who seems to know that his end is coming. And Casey affleck as young guy who has Jesse james as his idol and wants to come in his gang. But when he does come near, perceptions change. He himself changes and when his end comes, what he is is what he never intended to be. He too seems to know that someday someone is going to kill him.

Praise for this one wont be complete without mentioning the cinematography of the movie. It is hauntingly beautiful movie, which is shot in the best way possible.

Both of these are must watchs. If for nothing else, then for Casey affleck's and Brad pitt's brilliant performances.
