Don't Use Your Phone in a Theater, Ever
This is incredible. Read Kevin Williamson’s first hand account or Gothamist’s write up.
Sunday Soundtrack: Charlotte Martin — Warrior
Deep in
Deep inside the hiding places
Where nobody ever faces
There you are
Tumbling
When the world thinks that you’re happy
You’ve been anything but happy
But you’ve come so very far
It’s not so bad
You’re still breathing
It’s not too bad
You’re still hearing me
Struck by lightening
Everything frightening
The warrior
Up to ten thousand
Too many mountains
The warrior
The warrior
Shoulder
Needed several thousand shoulders
Maybe it’s because you’re older
Holding everybody up
Your friends call
You don’t have a way to stay strong
You don’t have a soul to talk to
You’re the bravest one of all
It’s not so bad
You’re still living
It’s not too bad
You’re still fighting
On
Struck by lightening
Everything frightening
The warrior
Up to ten thousand
Too many mountains
The warrior
You’ve got to face it
You’ve got to start to move forward
Move forward
Isolated
Nobody understands torture
Like the warrior
Falling and flying
Crawling and crying
It’s perfect weather
For me and for you
There’s no denying it
You’ve got more courage than
Most I’ve ever known
It’s not so bad
You’re still breathing
It’s not too sad
You’re still here with me
Struck by lightening
Everything frightening
The warrior
Up to ten thousand
Too many mountains
The warrior
The warrior
You got to face it
You’ve got to start to move forward
Move forward
Isolated,
Nobody understands torture
Like the warrior.
Sunday Soundtrack: Birthday Edition — Charlotte Martin: Tough
I’m not sure what I’m doing here.
Have I given my best shot?
Have I really lived?
Or have I not?
Sometimes the world is so hard to please
And I don’t feel good enough,
But who the hell measures up?
And I’ve talked to heaven so many times
That my dress has tasted tears.
They said, “We’ll just see how tough you can be this year.”
Now all my feelings are falling down
And are piled here at my feet,
And each tear I’ve dropped’s
A piece of me.
Well I love you now and I loved you then.
I’ll love you until I die,
‘Cause I know time’s not on my side.
And I’ve talked to heaven so many times
That it’s ringing in my ears.
They say, “We’ll just see how tough you can be this year.”
My heart has died
A thousand times,
But I still can’t breathe.
We all change
And we all fade,
But we still believe.
Show your faith
Enough to wait,
But our hope still freezes.
And I’ve talked to heaven so many times,
And my dress has tasted tears.
They said, “We’ll just see how tough you can be.”
I’ve talked to heaven so many times
That it’s ringing in my ears.
They said, “We’ll just see how tough you can be this year,
How tough can you be this year?”
