Awakening | Safe & Sound

I want to write.

I want to write again.

I didn't have that feeling for so long. I nearly thought I would never be able to feel that again.

It is kind of spring. It's warm in the sun and cold when she is away. The sky is blue. Everything feels fresh.

I'm maybe going to write the next days. I'm ill and we decided that after two weeks of coughing I should stay at home to rest before Scarborough - where I will be in exactly one week! I can hardly believe that. It really seems like a dream.

But I also have to prepare a 30-minutes presentation about Hundertwasser for my Arts class ... 

And I'm obsessed. Tumblr makes me so. Everywhere there are Hunger Games. I'm sure I annoy everyone outside of tumblr with that. Well, they have to deal with it.

I can't get the lyrics of a song from the soundtrack out of my head. They're from "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift feat. Civil Wars. I don't really like Taylor Swift (and I don't really know if I like her know) but the song she created with John Paul White and Joy Williams is just wounderful.  I didn't think I would like it but I do. It's gorgeous and amazing.

And it's full of little hints to the story - and the video! If you read the book and look right, you can see in nearly every sequence a reference to the story. It has such a great concept.

Please listen to and watch it here. Here are the lyrics:

I remember tears streaming down your face / when I said, I’ll never let you go / when all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don’t leave me here alone / but all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight

just close your eyes / the sun is going down / you’ll be alright / no one can hurt you now
come morning light / you and I’ll be safe and sound

don’t you dare look out your window / darling, everything’s on fire / the war outside our door keeps raging on
hold onto this lullaby / even when music’s gone / gone

just close your eyes / the sun is going down / you’ll be alright / no one can hurt you now
come morning light / you and I’ll be safe and sound

just close your eyes / the sun is going down / you’ll be alright / no one can hurt you now
come morning light / you and I’ll be safe and sound

I also changed the layout of Monday Roses as you may noticed. It's a kind of a new whole way, inspired by this photo of vagiqua and the current layout of Little White Snow Owl. I hope you like to see it.

Although it sound impossible that I have reasons to - thinking of all the stuff I have to do - but I'm unbelievably happy right now.

Perhaps it's because I read The Hunger Games again.
