I Can't Take My Eyes Off You

... So the day before yesterday i went to the movies with some friends, we had a nice dinner, a nice chat and then we went to see "Closer". I really enjoyed the movie, it's my kind of movie, with lots of desperate people and lots of insightful lines and loads awkward situations (i won't describe the movie, if you want the resume you can find it on the web, i don't like to resume anything :Þ).

I recalled many things while watching the flick, specially when the "revenge fuck" was mentioned, not that i had revenge sex in the way they had, but i had revange sex (and then some more...), but what's after it? What's after revange sex? Exactly what's in the movie ... nothing! Your feelings remain the same though you feel "relieved"...

Another scene that made me fell like the movie was like a rearview mirror of my life was when the Doc said to Dan: She's only with you because she believes she doesn't deserve to be happy. (well maybe these weren't his exact words but i can't recall every word by seeing the movie just once)
This phrase made me go to the "astral plane" and (in a split second) i asked myself if i brake all my relationships coz i think i don't deserve to be happy ... well if i had to ask that question then the answer is non other than.

But the ULTIMATE point was the ending, when Jane (hint hint) was walking down the street (just like in the beginning) and everybody was looking at her as she walked the walk, while Mr Damien Rice sang "i can't take my eyes off you"...

Actually the song made me cry, it still does. I LOVE this song, i love it so much that i'm going to transcribe it. (for all you critics: yes it reminds 'Fake Plastic Trees' from RadioHead, and yes, i love that song as well!)

Damien Rice - The Blowers Daughter

And so it is

Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Go watch the movie if you are into desperate things!
It's not as intense as "The Hours" and not as sad as "My Life Without Me" (in this one no one dies in the sense of dying-dead-gone)
