north to south east to you.


at the moment, my favourite song is by a guy from sydney:

jonathan boulet - "north to south east to you".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uenNmVUQIQ         <-- get that into you.

i don't know what it is about it, but i generally have a new favourite song song every week. this one's been around for quite a while now.


perhaps its because i picture the film clip in my head every time i hear it. perhaps its because its not overplayed. perhaps its the simplicity of it, or the way it builds. it could even be the lyrics, in fact it probably is. 

i always wished i could write simple, yet amazing lyrics, much like this guy can, but i can't. mine always turn out overly descriptive or poetic, i hate it. funnily enough, my blog so far is the complete opposite of what i just said. then again, this isn't a song is it, twat :)
the point is, there's this one particular line in this song that gets me every time, and it sits within me for ages every time i hear it. i'm thinking i'd like to get it tattooed on me at some point. damn you tattoo laws.

"everything else doesn't matter as long as we don't care."

i want to be carefree. i want to live my life to its fullest capacity. i want to run from the rain, roll around in a wheat field, wear what i want, eat as much junk food as possible, say whatever comes to mind, fall in love, fall out of love, make mistakes, be stupid while i'm young, learn from it, start again, screw up, start again, work it out, live. 

i don't want to care about anything but life. i want to live by that statement. another thing i can't understand is why anything else would matter in the first place. the one thing about life that frustrates me is how obsessed with others' opinions people are. i'm not saying i'm not guilty of this, but the world we live in has developed this way of being that says we have to be like someone else to fit in. 

i've made a decision tonight: i'm not going to care anymore. because then maybe, nothing else will matter, and i'll be free to live how i please.

freedom. total freedom.
we've got to get out.
