The Place Where I Feel Most Like Me

Yet another Meg and Dia related post, another song off their newest album has caught my attention. I have to say the lyrics have sparked off some thoughts in my mind, that have put aside certain worries I had; the past few weeks have made me worry about the future, and mainly the fact that I seem to have very little idea of what the hell I'm doing with my life, but then the lyrics of this song gave me some comfort. The song in question is The Place Where I Feel Most Like Me, off their third album It's Always Stormy in Tillamook. I'll post a video of it below for anyone who's interested to listen to, just listen to the lyrics, I think they'll give anyone who listens a moment of happiness and serenity. It's the main lyric 'the place where I feel most like me' that has brought on this, it's made me realise that is what life really is isn't it? It's a journey, a pathway for us to find who we really are. I don't think anyone really truly knows themselves do they? Surely this is what life is, it's all about us trying out new things, making mistakes, and learning who we really are. That's what I'm beginning to think anyway, give it a listen.

proud to have been there..

I'm happy to say I was one of the 50,000 students marching in London's protest today against the rise of tuiton fees. I have to say it was a massively liberating experience seeing so many people turn out to begin the massive battle against what is a ridiculous decision made by a government who simply cannot keep their promises.

I find it ridiculously sad that our government thinks it is acceptable to turn what is the simple human right of education into an income assessed finishing school for more middle classed eton boys like Cameron himself, and can not believe that the legislation has even gone through. I think today's march showed that the government, and certainly Nick Clegg, who PROMISED students he would not agree with the lifting of the cap, are not going to get away with what is simply a travesty.

I, without doubt, will be marching and protesting this cause until the government and the rest of society realises that students are not the people who should be picking up the bill for a debt created by greedy bankers and financiers. PLEASE, do not pay attention to the negative media coverage of today, the minority who resorted to violence to raise awareness do not need to be paid attention; just pay attention to the real message we were sending out today.

Education is a right, it is NOT a privilege. Cameron will not get away with this, and Clegg certainly has a lot more to answer for. Today is just the beginning of a long, long battle. But we will win.

don't be careful

my mild obsession with meg & dia has led me to some more of their lyrical genius; some lyrical genius which i think sums up what most people want to tell their significant other/possible conquest (whatever you want to call them).

don't be careful with me, i'm not so delicate, i give you my heart and i know the chance i'm taking. don't hesitate in love it can leave your soul undone, you can't stick your toes in the water, you've got to jump and finally go underwater.

i think these lyrics are really beautiful, i love that they capture the essence of human emotions, how i believe them to be anyway; i don't think anyone really wants to be wrapped in cotton wool and treated like some piece of fine china. sometimes you've got to let the bull loose and throw caution into the wind and realise, you're going to get hurt, don't try to prevent it, it's life people.
