thanks!

I get that this is super awkward and all, seeing how i'm an awkward individual - well awhile back i made a list of the top ten films of the decade. I thought i'd put more sass into it though so i made a stupid video, complete with pixie dust. I know, my opinions are SO BAD and yeah yeah, my hair and face were sorta messed the FUCK up. I'm not going to embed, because the preview image is essentially a spoiler (!!!!!) so just click the link below. Well, here we go bitches.

Weird story. I originally started playing piano when I was seven years old, I got pretty good - used to occasionally compete, and I wasn't bad by any means... but as I got older, I stopped playing as much, and in the few years I stopped playing I had really lost it. I'm not the type of person who can remain good at something if I'm not practicing all the time. Although I'm disappointed that I'm not anywhere near as good at playing as I used to be - about a year ago I started composing a song. A, as in one song. Which sounds strange that I would write only one song, if I was going to write at all - but every time I'd sit at the piano I'd play around with it - and it grew a lot over the year. I was really proud of it, and although it was simple I thought it was pretty.

Alright now awhile back, I had downloaded a couple of songs off of M83's album Saturdays = Youth, and a couple weeks ago I decided I liked those couple of songs a lot and wanted to finally listen to his entire album. As I'm listening, I hear this one song called "Too Late" and my heart just like, sank. The piano/keyboards in that song are almost IDENTICAL to some parts from my little song. I swear to you, I had never heard this song before a couple weeks ago. And it would melt your brain if you knew how similar they were. It's just so strange that something like this could've happened. Fucking universe. What kinda blows is that yeah it's like my song, but his is obviously way better.

The only person who's ever heard me play the song I'd written was my boyfriend, and he's heard it many times so he knows it pretty well. To test the theory that "Too Late" sounded just like mine and I wasn't nuts, I got him to sit down and listen to the M83 song and just asked him if it sounded familiar. It took him about a minute and I thought he wasn't going to make the comparison, but then he looked at me and said "Is that your song?"

So, here you go planet. I've written one song in my life and if you want to hear a better version of that song written by a different, more successful human being in what I guess should be a considered a freak coincidence, check it out here:



bah

Essentially, Keira Knightley is so freaking gorgeous - if my boyfriend left me for her I'd just be like "that's reasonable."
