The world donâ??t owe me nothing though I always want it to
The world donâ??t owe me happy, the world donâ??t owe me a love like you
The world donâ??t owe me nothing even though Iâ??m on my knees
Not the things I took for granted
Not the things I thought I got for free

Catie Curtis – World Don’t Owe Me

Quite a long quote, because I couldn’t decide which part I liked best. I think the most important message still is the title, as simple as it is. The world indeed owes me nothing.

Nothing new
Lost my wedding ring
Nothing new
Except everything

Krista Detor – Buffalo Bill

That’s the trouble with you and me
We always hit the bottom ‚fore we get set free
I’m so far down
I’m beginning to breathe

Over the Rhine – Nobody Number One

Yesterday evening we watched Aviator and I was confused more or less the whole time because a) I couldn’t decide whether I liked Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn and b) I couldn’t shake the feeling that Cate Blanchett looked about ten years older than Leonardo DiCaprio which kind of ruined the whole Hughes/Hepburn relationship for me. (I just checked and she is five years older, so at least I wasn’t completely off.)

However last night I dreamt that my husband didn’t know who Katherine Hepburn was. He was all like „So, this Hepburn woman, who was that supposed to be?“ and I couldn’t believe that he didn’t know that. I was honestly confused about this in my dream But then again, admittedly, I think I watched about one movie in which she played, and I don’t even remember it that well, and it was „Bringing up Baby“, so I probably only watched it because I think Cary Grant is just so sexy, so I should most probably shut up already.

And by the way, I asked today. He knows who Mrs. Hepburn is, so we got that settled. Thank God. I mean, how could you not know, who she is, unless of course, anything that happened before you were born is a complete black hole for you and you are any one of the six girls (out of eight in total) in my French class, who had no idea what Woodstock was other than that bird in the comic strip. Jeez. I thought I totally forgot about that moment.

My favorite songs to play
I’d throw them all away
If only I could stay with you

JP Den Tex – For You

I used to listen to music really loud lying on the couch with my eyes closed. I used to listen to music doing nothing else, just lying there. I used to fall asleep halfway through Paula Cole’s This Fire, which, if you know the album, is quite an accomplishment.

Why the hell don’t I do that anymore?

I never bitched at anyone
I never asked for my heart back

Kristin Hersh – Echo

If I’d tell the world,
I’ll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you

Adele – Chasing Pavements

Baby I’ve lost the will for fighting
Over everything
And there’s a few things I gotta say.
Make no mistake, I’m mad
‚Cause every good thing I had
Abandoned me.

Michael Penn – Walter Reed

You may not need this world
But this world needs you here

Eels – If You See Natalie
