More than a year after I made this little Christmas gift for the Thursday Group, I come to realize how we have changed over the months, and how fitting these songs are for each of us, even up to now.
1 - Simple Life (Sherwood)
For everyone in my little group (because, after all, I think they are the ones I’ve been searching for all my life...well, at least part of what I've been searching for)
~ I can't believe I said that. Insert cheesy emoticon here, please.
2 - Not Sure Yet (Andy Lange)
For Gel (because he's never given up on the idea of a happy ending)
~ And with the way things are going now, I have a good feeling he'll get just what he needs, and that no matter what happens, he will be fine. It will all be fine.
3 - Chase This Light (Jimmy Eat World)
For Ice (because, after all the chasing and falling and hurting, she's finally getting the happily ever after she deserves)
~ When I chose this song for Ice, I didn't know that it was supposed to be a "proposal/marriage" song. I'm glad it is, and that she is now happily chasing the light with her hubby Chris, confetti rainfall and all.
4 - Brand New Day (Joshua Radin)
For Ivan (because he finally found Miss Right, after a series of Misses Wrong)
~ What more can I say? :)
5 - Hammers and Strings – A Lullaby (Jack’s Mannequin)
For Ayen (because sometimes, all she really needs is someone to sing to her in her sleep)
~ And I'm still praying for that someone to hurry up and show himself, damn it, because Ayen is still waiting. Or, if she's not, her friends sure as heck are.
6 - How To Save a Life (The Fray)
For Gia (because sometimes, despite all efforts, friendships end, but it doesn’t mean that they end forever)
~ Well, she's an attorney now, so I guess she'll save lives in a different way? (I seriously cannot remember the context of this song anymore, doh.)
7 - Goodnight and Go (Imogen Heap)
For Lorraine (because of reasons that will not be mentioned here, since, you know, I fear for my life)
~ I still fear for my life, by the way :))
8 - Giving It Away (MAE)
For myself (because I need to learn to start trusting again)
~ I think I'm ready :)
And wouldn't you know it, our little group just got all the bigger. So I guess this means I need to collect more songs for next Christmas :)
Cheers to friendship! XD
