I can’t be bothered to post here anymore. This post is closure! Maybe I’ll return in the future or not. Eh we’ll see.

Linkin Park – Easier To Run

I don’t realy care about adding posts here anymore but I listed a bunch of songs in a draft so it’s not difficult. I’m being lazy.

I officially picked Linkin Park as my fave American band because I love over 90% of their songs and I don’t get tired of listening to them over and over again.

Linkin Park – Easier To Run

It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I’ve kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they’ve played

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there’d never be a past

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would, take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
It’s so much simpler than change

Vince Guaraldi – Linus & Lucy

Instrumental time! I’m glad I stumbled upon Vince Guaraldi’s music. He created music for Peanuts, the cartoon with Snoopy and Charlie Brown. I really love his type of instrumental piano jazz music. I never thought I would like jazz music. Infuse it with Vince Guaraldi (also George Winston, Keith Jarrett), play it with a cool smooth feel on a piano and boom, your brain will love you.

This is Vince Guaraldi’s song Linus & Lucy on Youtube.

Linkin Park – Waiting For The End

When it’s hard to keep up with life and painful memories and thoughts bring you down, all you need is a little bit of hope to try again.

Or more likely, this song is a break up song. If in doubt, I assume something I don’t understand has something to do with sex.

Linkin Park – Waiting For The End

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen through the tone and the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady, something empty’s within ‘em
We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air
Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there
‘Cause we’re living at the mercy of the pain and fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It’s out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It’s hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I want to do is trade this life for something new
Holding onto what I haven’t got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn’t so

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I want to do is trade this life for something new
Holding onto what I haven’t got

What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on
And I don’t even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead so
Picking up the pieces now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again

All I want to do is trade this life for something new
Holding onto what I haven’t got

MMLJWW – A Toast To My Moms

My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding -> The last song in the musical and it is really well done. It sums the musical up nicely by giving throwbacks to earlier songs and messages. It is a really great way to end this fantastic musical that I wish others could enjoy!

MMLJWW – A Toast To My Moms (Track 18)

Ladies and gentlemen
I’d like to make a toast to my moms

To leaving your past behind and finding a new you
(Claire)
Life looks different

To understanding
(David)
Oh my mom’s a lesbian
Oh my mom’s a lesbian

To not being afraid
(Claire)
My friend Jane, you know the one I’m always talking about

To meeting new people
(Jane)
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love

Going new places you’ve never been
(Irene)
Meeting his lesbian moms at Hooters

And trying new things
(Claire & Jane)
You don’t need a penis
You don’t need a penis

To feelings
(David)
Feelings are important

To family
(Irene)
Five mothers
Five mothers

To never forgetting the past
Yiddle-ladly-dum
Yiddle-ladly-dum

To facing the future
Legalize love
Legalize love

Together
(Ensemble)
You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I
You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I need

And to hot lesbian action
And my moms

Life is different

MMLJWW – You And Me

My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding -> This song is so sweet! :-3

MMLJWW – You And Me (Track 17)

CLAIRE
I fall for you every five minutes
So listen let’s get hitched in front of our family and friends
In the end, we’ll regret it
If we don’t so don’t sweat it
Just let it
And let’s take this ship round the bend

CLAIRE & JANE
It’s just you and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I

You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I

JANE
If the days ever end up much better than this
We’ll run in slow motion and stop on an instant
And after a minute
Let’s stand still and listen
There’s some things that silence says better than anything

CLAIRE & JANE
You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I

You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I

I love you and cherish you
Promise I’m there for you
Hold you and care for you
Show you and share with you
I promise to listen, to always let life in
I promise to give you all that I’ve ever been
No matter what happens
What stops and what starts
No matter where I go
There you are

You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I

You and me
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I want
And that’s all I need

MMLJWW – Porta Potty

My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding -> It’s Claire and Jane’s wedding day! Yay! Prior to this scene, Claire gets a phone call from who she thinks is her mom. She answers in her usual “hello mother”, but she receives news that her mother died.

Claire has gone through a lot, from moving away from her home, divorce, discovering her sexual orientation, maintaining her relationship with her son and with her girlfriend, to her mother’s passing. On her wedding day, I can’t remember exactly why but she hid in a Porta Potty before the ceremony. Claire and Jane held their ceremony in a park where the only place to get some privacy was in a Porta Potty. How romantic… She must have needed a little bit of time to herself right? Don’t worry, Jane eventually finds her.

MMLJWW – Porta Potty (Track 16)

In a Porta Potty
In a field
On the outskirts of town
Don’t look back Claire
Don’t look down

There was an old me
And now there’s a new me
And the new me isn’t often scared
But today for some reason she’s unprepared
And life looks different
When looking behind you
Keep checking the time
But you’re 10,000 miles from you

MMLJWW – Five Mothers

My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding -> It’s David and Irene’s wedding day! Hurray! We’re privy to see Irene preparing in the bride’s room (I’m making up that room name) with the help of, five, yes five mothers. Her parents and David’s parents are divorced. Let’s count. There’s her mom, her father’s wife/girlfriend, David’s moms (Claire and Jane) and David’s father’s wife/girlfriend. So yeah, Irene feels blessed but also a bit suffocated by all the parenting happening pre-wedding.

MMLJWW – Five Mothers (Track 15)

I am trying to get dressed in a dress that feels too tight
In a room that’s not that roomy feeling tomb-y like I’m in a fight
If you ask was it romantic, I’d say I felt something more like panic

Getting bothered, getting bruised by the others in the room
Getting smothered and abused by five mothers
Getting pushed and getting shoved, someone’s just pulled out the rug
Getting smushed by all the love of five mothers

There are five mothers, five mothers, five mothers
Trying to dress me at my wedding
There are five mothers, five mothers, five mothers
Putting things on backwards at my wedding

There’s my mom Theresa. She is praying to the ceiling
And his mom and his other mom keep asking how I’m feeling
There’s my dad’s wife and his dad’s wife
And all of us are sweating
There are five mothers at my wedding

There are seven parents
Seven parents
Seven parents
Taking pictures of me at my wedding
Seven parents
Seven parents
Seven parents
Saying I look pretty at my wedding

There is one maid of honour
Two bickering bridesmaids
Three crazy cousins
And four aunts with hearing aids
And five mothers mothering and all of them are breathing
All the air that’s there to breathe and there is barely room for me in here for me with

Five mothers
Five mothers
Five mothers
Putting make-up on me at my wedding
Five mothers
Five mothers
Five mothers
Taking make-up off me at my wedding

But there is my mother
There is my father
There is his family
Smiling at me too
And there he is
Here we are
Joined as two
At our wedding
Our wedding
Five mothers
I do

MMLJWW – Claire Comes Out Again

My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding –> I can’t remember exactly who was in this scene… Essentially, Claire, David and Irene are hanging out. After a bit of soul-searching and life perspective, Claire discovers another new important identity and tells David and Irene about it. Irene’s line is hilarious! It’s like payback for You Don’t Need A Penis!

MMLJWW – Claire Comes Out Again (Track 14)

(Claire)
There was an old me
And now there’s a new me
And the new me is changing her ways
There was a story that I had forgotten
But lately I’m rereading page after page
It’s like driving along the same road that you drove
Every day of your life till you squish
(David: You squish?)
It’s time to come out of the closet and tell you I’m Jewish
(David: You’re Jewish?)

As a young Jewish girl (yiddle-ladly-dum)
I renounced my faith (yiddle-ladly-dum)
Just so I could see the look (yiddle-ladly-dum)
On my mother’s face
But now that I’m changing
The new me is seeing through me
That all things are still sort of newish
(David: Newish?)
It’s time to come out of the closet
And tell you we’re Jewish

(Spoken)
David: Wait, we’re Jewish?
Claire: We both are. Traditionally, Judaism is passed down through the mothers
David: But we’ve never celebrated Hanukkah or lit candles or eaten gefilte fish. I don’t even know what gefilte fish is.
Irene: And David’s not circumcised… Too much information?

(Claire, singing)
So I thought we should talk (yiddle-ladly-dum)
I’m not saying I’m Orthodox (cap that foreskin right off)
Or I believe in traditional forms of God
But I miss freshly baked bagels
And cream cheese and lox

And the new me now has community
And finally some sense of meaning
And that young girl I was
Is saying

There was an old me
And now there’s a new me
And the new me has changed her ways
There was an old me
And now there’s a new me
That new me is Jewish and gay (oy vey, yiddle-ladly-lew-ladly-dum)
