Happy Monday everyone. What a long weekend! My sister’s in town so we lit up the town Friday night. And then I decided to reward myself and sleep 17 hours on Saturday. It wasn’t lazy- it was much needed. And I feel so well rested and relaxed.
Anyway, for this Music Monday I wanted to post a song that I played a few months ago-constantly. I’m sure you’ve heard this song because it was featured in The Great Gatsby starring Leo. And if you haven’t seen the movie then shame on you!
I’m not sure what I love most about this song. Lana’s voice is amazing, the lyrics hit my heart and it was in Gatsby. Plus, it’s now mid July and that’s how the song starts. So it seems pretty perfect. I just want to still be loved when I’m not young and beautiful anymore. I hope there’s enough good in me that people (mainly the guy I end up with or I suppose guys in general) want to stay with me and still love me. I guess this song just really plays to my self- consciousness and how I’ve been in love before and we didn’t want to end up together. Or we did and life just got in the way. I’m terrified of life getting in the way and losing people that I love. I know, I know, if they really love me then they’ll try harder and yadda, yadda, yadda….you know where I’m going with this.
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you’d play with me like a child
Will you still love me
When I’m no longer young and beautiful?
