Music and Lyrics
Today we watched the movie Music and Lyrics. A romantic comedy. To the DDA's surprise, the Finn did not object, yet found some interest in it.
The DDA especially liked one of the metaphorical phrasing, the line that went "... a melody is like sex; But then as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics, they store who they are underneath...". You can say it's a cheesy line, but it just makes sense.
We can use it in multiple scenarios depending on your individual taste:
1) A song that its melody attracts you first, then you learn about the lyrics.
2) A song that its lyrics catches you first, then your learn the attractive melody.
3) A song that both the melody and lyrics hit you right smack in your face, and you just know it's love at first sight.
Those are but a few simple basic scenarios. There are quite a few the Finn managed to twist out of the whole metaphor too:
4) A song that it's melody attracts you, but you just hate the lyrics.
5) A song that the lyrics you feel really strongly about, but you can't bear the melody.
6) A song that both the melody and lyrics you just hate outright.
Are there any more? Surely, there can be more...
Movie talk aside, we went past our favourite pie shop at Cutty Sark after the movie and found some rather sad news.... Our special pie & map shop had closed down end of last year.
After 116 years of serving pies and mash to the local community, Goddards Pie House has finally closed shop in November 2006.
They left this message on the shop front, with a link to a website and the possibility of attaining pies online?
We shall look forward to Easter for pie deliveries!
