Music is my great-grandmother's friend.

Song: Love Like The Movies
Artist: The Avett Brothers
Discovered the Band: They came to Longwood for Spring Weekend 2004

Mood: Just finished watching “You’ve Got Mail” and are crying from when Tom Hanks says: “Well... if I hadn't been Fox Books and you hadn't been The Shop Around the Corner, and you and I had just, well... met... I would have asked for your number, and I wouldn't have been able to wait twenty-four hours before calling you and saying, "Hey, how about... oh, how about some coffee or, you know, drinks or dinner or a movie... for as long as we both shall live?"

Lyrics: So you want to be in love like the movies / But in the movies they're not in love at all / And with a twinkle in their eyes / They're just saying their lines / So we can't be in love like the movies

Now in the movies they make it look so perfect / And in the background they're always playing the right song / And in the ending there's always a resolution / But real life is more than just two hours long

So you want to be in love like the movies / But in the movies they're not in love at all / And with a twinkle in their eyes / They're just saying their lines / So we can't be in love like the movies

Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie / Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel / But I don't see one single solitary light technician / Or one single camera in this moonlit field

I don't want to be in love like the movies / Cause in the movies they're not in love at all / With a twinkle in their eyes / They're just saying their lines / So we can't be in love like the movies. / And with a twinkle in their eyes / They're just saying their lines / And so we can't be in love like the movies./ Nooooooo / We can't be in love like movies

Seeing The Avett Brothers Thursday: Hells Yes!
