United 93

What to say about a movie that couldn't even fill a test audience theater... It was not as powerful as I thought it would be, and I didn't cry. But my chin trembled, and I was left with a hollow, empty feeling in my chest. It wasn't heart wrenching, it was bitterly true. I drove home in silence, my radio turned off, not capable of breaking the spell. What I liked... This is a movie about heroes, not doubt, and you're not human if your heart doesn't swell with pride as you see your fellow Americans defending their homeland in the only way they can. Of course it's impossible to know everything that happened on that fated plane, but the closer to climax the movie becomes, the more you really know since that's when the desperate, heart breaking phone calls occurred. I also learned so much about the background of that day, flight control, military, the overwhelming helplessness of lack of information and towering confusion. No one was demonized in this movie, including the hijackers. They were portrayed as scared, devoutly religious human beings. They were men who believed in what they were doing. That added truth to the movie that anything less could not have done. The passengers of United 93 were nothing but human, and (I think) portrayed well. The audience... The theater was not half full, but by the end og the film, it was dead silent but for a few random sniffles. When the passengers rushed the hijackers, someone started clapping. Noone joined them, but the sound didn't seem out of place to me, but a lone tribute. I think the only thing I didn't like about the picture is my own anal, analytical point of view. With CNN playing in the background of the military and control scenes, I couldn't help but notice that the appearance of the Twin Towers followed no time line. Two now, then one, now two again. Intentional mistake? Screw up? Who knows. Would I recommend this film? I don't know. But if you're going to see it, see it in the theater or on a damn big screen with surround sound. This one is huge.

All alone again...

Listen dear
I need you to hear.
I cannot disappear
I've tried again and again and again.
I know we said
That we'd give up
You said we'd had enough
Again and again and again.
But you, you're always on my mind.
It's like this all the time.
Say it's cause you're mine
All mine...
And if you will, I will
Try to let it go.
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show us the way
'Cause love is here to stay
Just look me in the eye
This is do or die
And I will stay in love
'Till you say enough
There is no giving in
There is no giving up in love.
Walk down the street
Stare at lots of things
The fast and steady streams
Again and again and again.
Do what I should
Try to stay busy
Your face is all I see
Again and again and again.
But you, you're always on my mind.
It's like this all the time.
Say it's cause you're mine
All mine...
And if you will, I will
Try to let it go.
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show us the way
'Cause love is here to stay
Just look me in the eye
This is do or die
And I will stay in love
'Till you say enough
There is no giving in
There is no giving up in love.
Like a movie I once saw
In the darkness I recall
Feeling the beauty and the pain
And when you call my name
Say you feel the same.
Cause' if you will, I will
Try to let it go
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show.
And if you will, I will
Try to let it go
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show us the way
'Cause love is here to stay
Just look me in the eye
This is do or die
And I will stay in love
'Til you say enough
There is no giving in
There is no giving up in love
In love, in love
We're in love

I cannot disappear...

Fall to Pieces

If you love it, let it go. If it never returns, it wasn't yours to begin with.

I looked away
Then I look back at you
You try to say
The things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the dayI pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you

You're the only one,
I'd be with till the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you

Wanna know who you are
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means
Wanna know how you feel
Wanna know what is real
I wanna know everything, everything

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you

I'm in love with you
