Elton John - Someone saved my life tonight
For those of you who feel.
(and thanks to ben for reminding me of what a perfect song this is)
This is another song that is constantly in my mental queue, but can still make me misty upon hearing a recording. Thanks for posting a video, haven’t seen one in awhile :)
There was some confused & indignant reactions to my statement that Sloane ends up with Cameron & not Ferris. I’ve based this belief on many many viewings of the movie, discussions with fellow fans, an interview I once read where John Hughes said that Cameron and Sloane end up together (which of course I can’t find), and some wonderful Hughes essays that I’ve read over the years. seularen posted a gorgeous paragraph or two about Sloane & Cameron & said:
Sloane and Cameron totally end up together. Sure, Ferris is super excited about marriage, but do you ever think he’d actually go through with it? Of course not. Plus, Ferris isn’t really a real person to Sloane; he’s more of a caricature. Only Cameron really sees Ferris for who he is, which is a confused teenager propping up his huge cut-out image of a Titan amongst men so he can hide behind it.
The moment that cements Sloane/Cameron for me is actually when they’re talking about Ferris during the parade. It’s their ~shared interest, if you will, but you see the realization sinking in that Ferris is bigger than both of them. The parade is when you see Ferris truly enjoy himself, and it’s in that moment when he’s at his biggest. He leaves Cameron and Sloane both behind in his brightest moment, and I think he’d leave them both after graduation as well.
(I may have written a film essay about this once.)
Also, I want to read that essay! It’s a great debate and I enjoyed reading the responses. Proof once again that John Hughes was genius.
Definitely thought i was the only person to think this, nice to have validation.

Haha look at his lap!
Beach House - Childhood
…Continuing on our journey through the greatest songs ever recorded ever…
The real problem with Beach House is that now that they exist they’ve really made it unnecessary to listen to any other music. Any time you put any music on, you can’t help but think, “I’d really rather be listening to Beach House.” Then you put Beach House on. Then you die because you forget to eat because you were listening to Beach House. Then there are no more people because instead of procreating everyone is just sitting alone in their rooms listening to Beach House, because it feels so much better. Then, when there are no more people, the animals find our Beach House CDs, and, well, that’s it for life on Earth.
Agreed. Also, i heart Ben Korman

Want. Dress. i promise i would wear it every day!

Surprisingly, i’m so much more turned on by this bookcase than the naked lady.
This video saves me the trouble of typing up the lyrics ;)
This song has been on my mind for days. Its relevance keeps shoring up over and over, every couple years. Each year a more inappropriate subject than the last. I’m particularly pissed off about my brain’s selection this month.
