| "I'm so much better when you run your fingers through my hair, humming like the air. I wish that I could hold you and I'm sorry if I seem so in between." -Duncan Sheik |
| As far as I've been able to tell in my life, there have only been two people who have been able to put the emotion of love into words. One is Dave Matthews with his gorgeous song "The Best of What's Around." The other one to accomplish this amazing feat is none other than Duncan Sheik with the quote you see above. You ask me what love is and I would tell you to listen to this portion of the song "In between." You can clearly see the gorgeous lyrics that Duncan has written above. This short yet beautiful few lines which speaks of the amazing joy the person you love brings. It's as if the person you love blows through like the wind an suddenly you're changed and you're alive. Coupling that with the amazing orchestral movement Duncan wrote to accompany the words is truly to hear what love and beauty are. As the flutes swell and the violins make their depressing beauty you hear Duncan say these few lines and your heart is moved to places unknown. I really love Duncan Sheik and I really love "In Between" and I really, really love this line. I hope you do too. |
| Jeff's Random (And Scary) Commentary |
| March 12, 2001 Well, what is on my mind today . . . I'm in the middle of my production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the moment and can't remember a more hectic and crazy time in my life. Yet, though I frequenly feel like ripping out my hair in frustration, I'm having a wonderful time. To be a part of this show is something so amazing to me. When I was doing drama in high school I thought it was just a hobby, something I did for fun and something I did to occupy my time. Yet, here at Santa Clara (at least with this show), I feel like I've tapped into something extraordinary that goes far beyond what I thought theatre meant in high school. I mean, I love the shows I did at St. Mary's and I had so much fun when doing them . . . but there seems to be something so distinctly different and more (for lack of a better word) important about this show. The show is going really, really well. We've done 3 of our 8 shows and gotten wonderful reception from all 3 shows. I've never been more complimented in my life by random people from the audience, my cast members and my director. It's like a deam come true in some forms. To know that I'm doing something that helps me maintain my own sanity (acting) and at the same time bringing joy to others is the coolest thing. It's that gift of laughter that I've found I am able to give through this show that makes it so cool and worthwhile for me right now. The only drawback, which I've been dwelling on as of late, is that I've got pipe dreams of being an honest to God "actor." I've got dreams of my "huge comic prowess" taking me to Saturday Night Live or movies or TV or sketch comedy, or any number of totally illogical things. It's like, I've been bit by the theatre bug that tells me to focus in on acting and performing because I'm "good" enough to do that. In reality I'd like to get rid of this thought and focus on a more sensible career and take that idea and apply it to my academic studies. But, at this moment in time, I can't stop thinking about the show and the upcoming audition and things of that nature. I know how stupid and random this must seem, but it's just what's on my mind and that is what this part of the page is for . . . my mind. Peace out and much love to you all. |
