Mmm...

Rice crispies, several washed and halved strawberries, one sliced banana, with semi-skimmed milk. Delicious :).

Anyway, yes, been out with Dan, Kat and Gemmel tonight, went and had a pub dinner, rather lovely. Also very lovely to see them all again as I haven't really seen anyone other than my family recently... and work colleagues. Felt a bit lonely :(.
But feeling much happier now, also will hopefully meet up with Kat sometime this week (need to sort out her b-day prezzie to give to her) and also Dan probably at some point. Well, seeing as I've only got 3 days left in the week and I'm working Friday afternoon I'd better get my skates on and sort stuff out quickly.
Otherwise will have to see people when I get back from New Wine.
Also, need to pack for New Wine... decide what I want to bring etc.
And I'm behind on art work...
Well, better get to it, buhbye!

James Bond songs

'The World Is Not Enough' is my favourite James Bond song :).
Just thought I'd comment on this fact. Am in the process of watching the film it originates from.
Have just added the song to my playlist on this page :).

Beautiful Music

I just sorted out my music player on this blog :). I am observant enough that I realised it stopped working properly ages ago, I just didn't have time to get around to it. Now I have, I've only put three songs on at the moment - 'So Close' and 'The Call' (songs I've rambled on about loving recently), and a piano version of 'Once Upon on a December' (which I still need to finish learning - NB: It does sound a bit weird at the beginning but keep listening and you will be impressed by the beautiful rich texture of the piece).

Anyway, need to get back to James Bond... Bye :)

Defenestrate

I learnt a new word today!

defenestrate
[verb]
throw through or out of the window; "The rebels stormed the palace and defenestrated the President"

Wonderful word. And rather fits into my feelings today as I'm a bit PMSy and haven't been in the best of moods (though after taking pain killers, watching "The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" -good film- and eating junk food I feel significantly better).

Various things annoyed me today but I don't particularly feel like dwelling on them so instead I shall tell you about something that amused me on the train today. Two young lads (well, ok, probably only a year or two younger than me), were chatting near me and I wasn't really listening until I heard one of the boys say "No, you're wrong, an architect is one of those people who digs up bones and stuff", and they debated it a little and I think as I got off the train they decided they weren't sure. What do they teach children in schools these days?! They don't even know the difference between an architect and an archaeologist!

Actually I think I recognised at least one of the two as having gone to my secondary school, lol.

Well, at least the words have similarities; actually, thinking about it I don't quite know where I learnt what the meanings of those words were. Probably from reading as I have always read rather a lot. And watching things like 'Relic Hunter' (learning the meaning of 'archaeology', I mean).

Oh yes! And I've read all of the Circle of Magic books (inc. The Circle Opens quartet & The Will of the Empress). I also read 'Forevermore' this morning (not bad). And I still need to get around to browsing a couple of books I got from the normal public library.

Anywho, must bugger off now, I've also got 'Tomorrow Never Dies' out from the college library and I plan to watch it before I have to return it tomorrow.

Last day of college tomorrow! I'm going to miss art lessons with Franky :(.

On second thoughts...

I might just get changed, brush my teeth and settle down with the next Circle Opens book... I don't think I can be bothered with any more films tonight. I don't even know what I'm doing still on the computer...
What a blogful day.
Plus I worked 9 til 5, hmm, must go get some rest.
Nighty Night.

No Reservations

Loved it. Love Catherine Zeta-Jones in most anything. Hadn't seen Aaron Eckhart in anything before but he's rather cool. Abigail Breslin played the part amazingly, beautiful emotion by both her and Catherine. Made me cry (not that difficult). My brain is too tired to analyse it further.
Good stuff.
Think I'll go drink some water and then flick through the LOTR films before perhaps continuing reading the 'Circle of Magic' series (well, I'm on to 'The Circle Opens' quartet now, which will then be followed by 'The Will of the Empress'). Also, I will soon start reading the christian novel I borrowed from work... and I want to flick through the book of drama sketches as well. And read that recipe book I borrowed from the library, and-
Well, one thing at a time...
Water and Lord of the Rings. Best get to it then.

P.S. I Love You

The title differs just by punctuation but the film differs quite a bit. So here I'll state things I liked, didn't like, including changes and so on.

• Holly was played wonderfully by Hilary Swank, the emotion was perfect and I think she was a brilliant choice of casting.
• Gerard Butler made an awesome Gerry :).
• I don't remember much about nationality and how they met (I thought they were childhood friends... ? - I may be wrong there, I didn't read particularly carefully) but I do quite like the whole flashback of them meeting, it's cute.
• Having now looked it up on the internet it appears that in the book everyone was Irish and there was no American thing going on.
• I thought the whole thing of her sleeping with William was weird, I don't remember anything like that in the book, I thought it was too soon and in the book there is no way she would have done that (unless she was reeeeeally, reeeeeeeeeeally drunk). Though I did like the hope for them at the end of the film when they meet again (and the whole thing with her mum and his dad :P).
• I really don't like Daniel in the film though I really liked him in the book (apart from when he went back to Laura but it didn't matter because it kind of let Holly off the hook - and anyway, stories shouldn't have little neat endings all the time). In the book I thought he was rather charming and clever, and a wonderful friend to Holly whereas in the film he announces right from the start that he thinks she's 'hot'. And I think he resembles a bit of a loserish gawky teenager in the film while in the book he's more grown up and responsible. Oh yes, and (note responsibility) he owned a bar, he didn't work for her mum in a pub (more teenagish tendencies).
• I wasn't upset in the least to lose the cringeworthy moment of her coming out of a restaurant with Daniel and bumping into Gerry's parents.
• Her dad didn't leave in the book and she also had three brothers (Richard, Jack and Declan) which have been missed out in the film (Oh, and Richard's wife from hell Meredith). And Ciara's hair was never pink in the film and neither was she crazy enough in the least. I do kind of understand cutting the family out a bit but it did kind of leave me feeling like it lacked depth. The most depth was in the relationship between Holly and Gerry (as it should be) and the one between Holly and her mum.
• I liked that she got given the letters at the beginning (book) rather than them appearing one by one (organised by her mother). It sort of showed her having a bit more self control (not opening all the letters at once) and she knew exactly how many there were and how long she had to pull herself together before he was really 'gone'.
• The girls didn't go to Ireland, they went to Lanzarote in Spain. I don't think Gerry would have sent her to Ireland because it's too much dwelling and he was trying to get her to move on with her life, go out and have fun etc.
• I thought the whole shoe designing thing was rather cool as opposed to advertising but I do think it was more believable that she would get into advertising as it's extremely difficult to get into the world of design and fashion, especially with as little experience as her.
• I thought that for the time they had in the film, Denise's 'player' character was shown reasonably well though it would have been made better by a quick comment or two about her short relationships or something, rather than the walking around trying to chat guys up.
• Kennedy wasn't Gerry's last name, it was Holly's and she didn't change it when she got married. It doesn't make much of a difference in the film anyway because they wouldn't have had time to explain this point.
• Sharon and Denise didn't look like I pictured them but worked fairly well as they were.
• It was very insensitive to blurt out their happy events whilst deserted on a boat. It also made a lot more sense for it to happen at a special gathering (novel).
• They left out that guy who she bumps into at the corner shop thingy buying newspapers. This is a bit sad really as I think it would be amusing to have him at the beginning and end as a sort of 'hope' symbol or something. But I suppose he was replaced by William.

Overall, the book was better than the film but the film still made me cry (if it hadn't there definitely would have been something wrong with it) and so if you've only watched the film then you've missed out. Yeah.

On another note, I also borrowed 'No Reservations' as I saw it in the library and remembered that I wanted to see it when it first came out (I saw trailers but I don't think I remembered while/if it was at the cinema near me). So I'll be watching that one next (like in a minute, after I've gone to get some food and replenish my salt).

Oh yes, also, I made ice cream yesterday! Vanilla with biscuit (milk chocolate digestive) bits.
It's tasty :). I may blog about 'No Reservations', depends if it's any good. But with Catherine Zeta-Jones in it, it's unlikely that it won't be good.

PS, I Love You

Just finished reading it. Made me cry several times. Absolutely brilliant book, a must read.
Listened to 'the Call' on repeat whilst reading the end of the book and am still as infatuated with the song as I was yesterday which proves it really is a good song because otherwise I'd be sick of it by now. Glad I didn't go and see 'PS, I Love You' at the cinema as I probably would have cried my eyes out, lol. Will probably go borrow it from the beginning next week or something.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say :).

Prince Caspian! (Spoiler Warning)

Just got back from seeing the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and it is so amazingly fantastic I'm still so bouncy and happy and stuff now! Whoo! *boing*
I think I grinned through almost all of the film, lol. I didn't get as hyped up beforehand as I often do with films I really want to see but it really blew me away.

NB: My quotes probably won't be exactly accurate but will give the gist of what I'm talking about.

I love how at the beginning it shows how frustrating it must be to have this whole other life full of wonder and beauty and strength and then to find yourself back in a slightly patronising, 'easy' life with little to challenge you (Peter fighting etc. P-"I hate how everyone treats us like kids" E-"But we are kids"P- "Yeah well we weren't always" - reminded again of this when Lucy finds her old dress and the whole L-"I was so tall" S-"Well you were older then" E-"Yeah, hundreds of years ago, and now you're younger").

I think it's great how this film shows a slightly different story to the whole 'good' and 'evil'. Whereas the first film showed the white witch and her lot with the dwarves, minotaurs etc. as 'evil' and Aslan and the centaurs etc. as 'good'; this film shows a bit more of how different sides can band together in certain circumstances and so on. Also showed in terms of the Christian or spiritual side about all the frustration, temptation etc. - the Narnians giving up on Aslan because he didn't seem to be there, even the children (apart from Lucy), and trying to do things on their own, even trying to use the bad forces (Nikabrik encouraging Caspian with the whole White Witch revival thing). But really the only way to succeed was to find Aslan, and the one person who could do that was the one who still had hope - Lucy.

Other factors: loved the settings (gotta love NZ) - absolutely magnificent, the main characters (Caspian and the 'Kings and Queens') are of course gorgeous, the storyline was great and yeah...
I thought the tactical side was much more interesting in terms of battle (possibly a tribute to the experience the quartet would have acquired whilst ruling Narnia before) - such as cutting down underneath the army to make the ground collapse and having hidden ramps to come out of the ground behind the army. The ent-like trees were great.

I thought the whole Susan-Caspian thing was fabulously done, the earlier 'intense' looks and their comments (S-"Keep it, you might need to call me later") and of course (the thing everyone saw coming) the kiss. Thought the stuff before the kiss were perfectly done (S-"It never would have worked anyway" C-"Why not?" S-"Well, I am 1300 years older than you") and the comments from the others too (L-"I'm sure when I'm older I'll understand" E-"I'm older and I think I want to understand"). I like how it shows that Susan is growing up as well, because of course after this adventure Susan does grow up and never goes back to Narnia again (and of course, neither does Peter - which I think is a shame, because if they do more Narnia films I will desperately miss Anna and Will in them as I think they bring a certain feel to it that I love - though of course Skandar and Georgie will hopefully continue to bring their wonderful auras in as well). I'm glad they did actually state that Peter and Susan wouldn't be coming back, and I'm glad it wasn't a terrible tearful thing as well though it was a bit depressing when you saw them back at the train station...

I wasn't sure about Prince Caspian's accent when I first saw clips of the film but having properly seen the film now I think it worked rather well, it had that sort of 'foreign' feel without having a distinct 'that's Spanish' or something. It's definitely right that Prince Caspian shouldn't sound English or American or something anyway, it would have been weird.
I thought Miraz was played very well of course, and the general and the other council member people too.

Weta workshop did wonderful work on all the creatures, and of course the masks for the battle scene which I was most impressed with, I felt the Telmarines were more menacing when you couldn't see any human emotion in their faces (it actually sort of reminded me of Death Eaters masks in HP).

I loved the badger - I felt it brought back a sense of the first film where there were more of the smaller, more 'normal' creatures (the beavers, the fox etc.) as opposed to the centaurs and dwarves and minotaurs etc.
I loved the DLF comment :P. And the whole 'You're a mouse!' thing with Reepicheep.

The most heartbreaking moment was when Peter (and the others) had to leave some of their people behind, trapped in the Telmarine castle/fortress, being killed.
I thought the happiest moments were saying goodbye at the end, the peaks of the fight (when they all banded together and charged into the chaos) and the when they first arrived and were delighted to be back.

Skandar didn't seem to have that much talking in this one I felt, Edmund seemed a bit more mature which was good (apart from the fight at the beginning), he seemed to be more of a listener than a talker in this one. However his fight scenes spoke for themselves - truly awesome. And the thing with the flashlight was amusing :).
Anna Popplewell is wonderful, the whole archer thing with her (and leadership) is expertly done in this film, showing her forte as a warrior. Also, particularly noticed her costume in this one, absolutely adored her fighting outfit when she's in the forest after just sending Lucy off to find Aslan.
Well, since I'm commenting on it I would also say that costume in this film is generally amazing and so a fantastic job to the people in charge of designing and making them.
William Moseley is amazing (and rather attractive), loved the fight scenes - particularly the one with Miraz. Also quite liked his friction with Prince Caspian as to who was leading their merry group of warriors.
Ah, and now we come to the lovely Georgie, so grown up from the last film. I think it's wonderful how Lucy has this ceaseless faith in Aslan that brings hope when seems lost.
Ben Barnes is great, I think he played the character of Prince Caspian wonderfully and was exactly right for the part; I do want to hear his normal accent though (as I think I read somewhere that he put on the accent - which would make sense), so might go find something on Youtube or something later.
I could continue on to other actors but I really can't be bothered, lol, these were the ones I felt like talking about so you know.

Oh! I just realised that I haven't mentioned the music! I adored the music in this film, totally fell in love with it. Absolute favourite song (I think) is 'The Call' - Regina Spektor (played when they're leaving, just after Susan kisses Prince Caspian); also quite like 'This is Home' -Switchfoot. But you know, overall, brilliant. I also thought it was great how they brought in bits from the first film (obviously music style was the same anyway but they did bring in sections from songs in the first film that I noticed).

Anyway, all in all I think this was the best film I've seen in a long time, despite all the good films I've watched recently, I don't know if that's because it was actually a generally better film or because of the whole 'cinema' experience but I reckon it's probably a bit of both.
Yes... Mmm... Happy :). Very much a feel good experience.

In other news, have been going to the gym and swimming quite a few times recently so rather happy with my new regime. Was doing boxing earlier today and can definitely feel it in my left arm right now. Achy :(.
Oh well, such is life. Need to do a lot more art work as I've not really sorted out all the stuff I need to do yet... Will blog about it some other time. Oh yes, also, just started reading 'PS, I Love You' (Cecelia Ahern), and so far so good. Do want to see the film at some point too.
Oh yes, also, have borrowed and watched 'Penelope'. Very good film (though not as good as I feel this one was right now). Might do a review of that some other time. Love the kiss scene, very amusing, particularly watching James McAvoy's face as he seems to debate in his head whether or not it is her. Well, watch it and you'll understand.

Yes, yes, anywho, going to go listen to some more Narnia soundtrack songs, read a bit of my book, think about 'Prince Caspian' and how wonderful it was, possibly pack some stuff for swimming tomorrow morning (if I make myself wake up early enough - not that I'm doing anything later, I just like going early morning, sets me up for a good productive day) and then get some sleep.
So today I am feeling very content. Life is good.

The Call - Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye

[Instrumental]

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

I'm officially knackered

Exercise Summary of today:
Walking - To the station (20 mins), around the town (where college is), to college (5-10 mins), from college, around other town (back and forth - brought mum lunch etc.), to the leisure centre (15-20 mins), from the leisure centre, to the leisure centre, to Carol's, to the leisure centre (and got driven home).
So overall at least 2 and a bit hours walking (probably more)
Other - Hour and a half working out in the gym with Anna (first trip to the leisure centre), Hour of 'Body Attack' at the leisure centre with Anna (we realised we were mad very quickly but it had seemed a good idea at the time - second trip to leisure centre), Hour of badminton (on/off) with my family (Final trip to the leisure centre).
So that's 3 and a 1/2 hours other exercise

I'm sure there are people who do much more exercise than me and much more regularly but to me this was totally exhausting.

I got so tired at badminton that I got to the stage where I laughed at absolutely everything so much that I couldn't breathe, and at one point I had to go sit down because my eyes were watering and I couldn't see.
But the good thing is that Anna and I have organised to go to the gym 3 times a week together. Oh, I don't remember if I blogged about it but I got a 7 day free pass to the leisure centre (gym/classes/swimming). Need to go sort out a proper membership tomorrow after work. I plan to go swimming a couple times a week as well (the other days). And if we see any classes that look interesting we might join them (but not go to the gym earlier that day). But all in all it was quite fun today. I'll be totally exhausted by the time I get to work tomorrow morning, then I get to look forward to 7 hours mostly standing up! Oh how the joy rains down upon me.

Well, I'm struggling to stand up now so really I need some food and water, some rest, and some good DVD watching (I borrowed 'Penelope' from the library, it's supposed to be rather good, should be entertaining at any rate). Yes yes.

Fly my pretties!

Films oh lovely films

Well, I've borrowed from the library and watched a few new (to me) films this past week - Knocked Up, Die Another Day, E.T. and Enchanted (bit of a mix of genres, lol).

Knocked up was a little cruder than I had first believed - I wouldn't want to buy it myself - however I love Katherine Heigl in most things and her performance didn't disappoint in this even if the script did in some areas. Favourite Katherine Heigl film/programme would probably be 27 dresses (I am definitely going to buy this in the near future - when I have money to spend on DVDs, lol) but I was of course first introduced to her in Roswell (which I was addicted to between the ages of about 9 and 11). Looking back at it, it is rather inappropriate for a 9-11 year old in some parts and it's not amazingly brilliant; I like some parts but I still agree with a whole bunch of the old fans that it was ruined when they brought in the whole Tess and 'destiny' stuff (the 'Meet the Dupes' was rather cool). In Roswell my favourite actress would probably be Shiri Appleby (not just because she's the main character), also love Majandra Delfino of course (really, who wouldn't). And Colin Hanks was such a lovable Alex (though he didn't match the book descriptions but then neither did the whole idea of this series apart from the beginning) though all the stuff with him being murdered and the whole Tess mind powers thing ruined it totally. Yes, so, summary - loved the three girls best in this series, though the guys were rather cool too (I suppose I hold on to my young roots when I wasn't thinking the typical teen 'the guys are my faves because they're so hot' or whatever).

Anyway, getting a bit off topic, next film, Die Another Day. Very good. Liked it rather a lot. Again, loved the girls - Halle Berry, and Rosamund Pike, both so beautiful. Pierce Brosnan is definitely one of my favourite Bonds, he's got the whole 'suave' thing down. He's a bit of an opposite to one of my other favourites - the newest, Daniel Craig. He's a more rough around the edges sort of Bond but thought he was great in Casino Royale. I haven't actually seen a Sean Connery one so I can't judge on that front but it could definitely be competition as I've very much enjoyed other Sean Connery films. Overall a rather fun film to watch (though I again I probably wouldn't want to own it, happy enough with watching it once or twice).

E.T., well, I'd heard so much about this film being brilliant and I wasn't really sure (having seen much more updated sci fi films) but I thought I'd like to see it just so I could see for myself. I think the version I saw was the 'updated' version where they'd used some CGI sort of stuff to make some shots of E.T. more realistic. I did actually get into it and thought it was a very good film. My favourite character was of course Gertie, lol, I adore little kids and Drew Barrymore was such a cute little girl! (And still wonderful as an adult of course). But yeah, also thought Henry Thomas (this is the first actors name I've actually had to look up...) was excellent as Elliot. Thought the actual E.T. character was well done too. (I'd better also mention I did like Robert MacNaughton as Michael, I'm not just leaving him out). So I agree that it's one to see (unintentional rhyming there, sorry). I don't know about buying, again probably not, I suppose it's not quite my 'type of film'.

Heh, I just realised I always refer to them as 'films' now, rather than my used-to-be-usual NZ 'movies' ... ok, I'm over it, moving on.

Now Enchanted, there is one I would definitely buy. Utterly loved this film, the concept was fantastic and Amy Adams was an inspired choice for Giselle, she played the part magnificently. I think all of the cast was just amazing. I thought the character of Prince Edward was fantastic, I love how he thinks of things so simply. James Marsden is an actor whose work I adore (I'm running out of words for 'love'), he was in 27 dresses with Katherine Heigl and was Cyclops in X-men (with Halle Berry and numerous other amazing actors/actresses). Patrick Dempsey was terrific as Robert (he always reminds me of Charles Shaughnessy - Mr Sheffield from 'The Nanny'), and I know him vaguely from Grey's Anatomy (seen a few episodes) and 'Made of Honour' - which I still need to see the ending of! (I don't remember if I blogged about this but me and Dan went to see this at the cinema during out 3 hour break from college but we had to leave early lest we miss our train so we got right up to the part where he decides to go after her and then we had to go! Aaaah! As soon as I can borrow this or buy this or something I will... Lol, we made up our own endings as we went along, commenting on what we think would actually happen, bits we thought were relevant -e.g. the whole dog petting thing- and stuff... heh). Yes, um, next..., oh wait a minute, I just realised I also know him from 'Sweet Home Alabama' with Reese Witherspoon. Great film. Yes, anyway, Idina Menzel (my friend Becky's idol) was a lovely Nancy :) and Susan Sarandon was sensational (alliteration unintended) as Narissa, the lift scene always makes me laugh (yes ok, in the face of Giselle's death but Susan Sarandon's acting is so perfect!). Timothy Spall acted fabulously as Nathaniel but I think he'll always be Peter Pettigrew to me, lol. Rachel Covey was such a sweet Morgan, favourite scene with her has got to be the one when she and Giselle are out shopping -

Morgan: And when you go out, you don't want to wear too much makeup 'cause otherwise a boy's gonna get the wrong idea. And you know how they are. They're only after one thing.
Giselle: What's that?
Morgan: I don't know. Nobody will tell me.

It's really cute :P. Julie Andrew's voice is perfect for the narrator (and very recognisable straight away, she has such a lovely voice :)). And don't forget all the people doing the voices and sounds (and animation) for the animals (I also love the CGI stuff for Pip in the real world, it's so funny!).
So, a must-see movie. This is one I would be delighted to own, and will probably buy in the near future.

Something I have to say about Enchanted is that the music is amazing, from Giselle's odd little songs ('Happy little working song', 'How does she know' etc.) to my favourite, Jon McLaughlin singing 'So Close'. The latter was fit to the scene so perfectly - see it on Youtube here; or just listen to the song on this video. This is one I really want to learn to play on the piano, though I've still got to get around to finishing deciphering 'Once Upon A December' at some point before I move on to this one.

Anyway, I have lots to do, huge list of things to tidy, clean, draw, paint, bank, buy, eat etc. Eat... yes, better go get breakfast, well seeing as it's past midday I suppose it'll be lunch but you know what I mean. Planning to go sort my 7 day gym thingymadoodaa out today and hopefully go swimming tonight. Painted some 'mood' stuff yesterday (same back colour, same drawing, different colours highlighting - same but darker/bolder, harmonius, contrasting), so need to go buy a scrapbook to put it in. Also need to finish my huge painting of a sheep's skull but will probs do that at college. Anyway, goodbye to you all, I hope you've enjoyed my commenting on these films (if you even read it, but I suppose if you're reading thing you probably at least skimmed it). Have a lovely day :)

So Close - by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz

(performed by Jon McLaughlin)

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
Now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far we are so close

[Instrumental]

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
