I TOLD YOU SO (Carrie Underwood)

11:26 AM / Posted by Syed / comments (0)


I TOLD YOU SO

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I wanna come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realize you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say

I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawlin' back and askin' me to take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
Now I've found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old time feelin'
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you miss me too
And that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we'd live in love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the table's finally turned

Would you say I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawlin' back and askin' me to take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
Now I've found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again
Now I've found someone new and you will never break my heart in two again

SERENDIPITY (2001)

6:35 AM / Posted by Syed / comments (1)

It's a complete fantasy. It has almost no relationship with real life. As much as we'd like to believe that the entire universe will go to such extreme measures to get two people together, it just does not happen that way. This isn't a movie about being in love, it's a movie about being in love in the movies.

John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale are adorable as a couple deigned by destiny. They meet cute at Bloomingdales one night before Christmas and spend a magical night together. But because of Beckinsale's flaky views on fate, the two leave it up to destiny to determine if they belong together. He writes his name and number on a five dollar bill, she puts hers in a book and sells it to a used book store.

Flash forward a decade, both of them are getting married, he lives in New York, she lives in San Francisco, but they can't help wondering what might have been. Cusack is terrifically funny as an ESPN producer who is in love with another woman but can't forget Beckinsale. Beckinsale is also charming as a psychiatrist having second thoughts about her New Age musician fiancé. Jeremy Piven and Molly Shannon are also hilarious as Cusack's best friend and Beckinsale's girlfriend respectively.

You can quibble about the film, like pointing out that this couple are both engaged to marry other good people who obviously love them (John Corbett and Bridget Moynahan) who they drop flat for just the possibility of someone they met once, almost a decade earlier.

But what's the point?

Serendipity is the type of old-fashioned love conquers all story that have just about dried up in Hollywood.

MY CONFESSION (Josh Groban)

6:25 AM / Posted by Syed / comments (0)


MY CONFESSION

I have been blind, unwilling to see
The true love you're giving.
I have ignored every blessing.
I'm on my knees confessing

That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

I have been wrong about you.
Thought I was strong without you.
For so long nothing could move me.
For so long nothing could change me.
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

[bridge:]
You are the air that I breath.
You're the ground beneath my feet.
When did I stop believing?

Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
Hear my confession

I HATE YOU THEN I LOVE YOU (Celine Dion & Luciano Pavarotti)

6:15 AM / Posted by Syed / comments (0)


I HATE YOU THEN I LOVE YOU

I'd like to run away from you
But if I were to leave you I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me
And yet I'll never try

No matter what you do you drive me crazy
I'd rather be alone
But then I know my life would be so empty
As soon as you were gone

Impossible to live with you
But I could never live without you
For whatever you do / For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you

You make me sad
You make me strong
You make me mad
You make me long for you / You make me long for you

You make me live
You make me die
You make me laugh
You make me cry for you / You make me cry for you

I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you

You treat me wrong
You treat me right
You let me be
You make me fight with you / I could never live without you

You make me high
You bring me down
You set me free
You hold me bound to you

I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more / I love you more
For whatever you do / For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you

I never, never, never
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
But you.

ONLY YOU (1994)

5:45 AM / Posted by Syed / comments (0)


In the frankly touristy "Only You," a Pittsburgh schoolteacher named Faith flees her dull fiance and races off to Italy, traveling cute in a black raincoat over a bouffant wedding dress.

Supposedly the purpose of this trip is Faith's finding her true soul mate, a man whose name -- Damon Bradley -- she has been given by a Ouija board. Actually it's all about scenery, as the story moves from Venice to Rome to Positano, stopping for suitably fabulous vistas and fountains and flowers.

Ms. Tomei does have the advantage of statuesque good looks, which are greatly enhanced by Milena Canonero's slinky, glamorous costumes and do something to compensate for her brittle, bright-eyed delivery. "Only You" is about appearances. It's the kind of film in which strangers applaud when young lovers kiss and tourists say things like "He promised to take me on a tour of the fountains."

And the story itself, by Diane Drake, is actually rather sweet. In search of her phantom lover, Faith ignores the fact that she has met Mr. Right. He is Mr. Peter Wright (Robert Downey Jr.), to be precise. But when he figures out that only Damon Bradley can make Faith happy, he calls himself Damon Bradley instead.

Meanwhile, Faith's sister-in-law, Kate (Bonnie Hunt), decides to make a much-needed getaway from Faith's brother, Larry (Fisher Stevens), a Pittsburgh roofer. Once in Rome, she is courted by Giovanni (Joaquim de Almeida), a skilled hand-kisser who knows what unhappily married American tourists like. (They like rooftop restaurants with nice views of Rome and exclamations like: "La bella Italia! She's waiting!")

Meanwhile, mistaken identity and the Damon Bradley question keep Faith in a series of swoons and snits, while love-struck Peter Wright waits for her to come to her senses. A yacht figures prominently in these developments. So does Billy Zane, who has some funny moments as a handsome Mr. Wrong.

ONLY YOU

DIRECTED BY Norman Jewison; WRITTEN BY Diane Drake;

RELEASE BY Tri-Star Pictures. Running time: 108 minutes.

STARRING: Marisa Tomei (Faith), Robert Downey Jr. (Peter), Bonnie Hunt (Kate), Joaquim de Almeida (Giovanni), Fisher Stevens (Larry) and Billy Zane (the False Damon Bradley).

THE RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

5:26 AM / Posted by Syed / comments (0)


1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a fulltime informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answer to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. This will often be forgotten, only to be remembered again.
