I saw this man on the Metro this past Monday, and asked him who the flowers were for. They were for his wife. They’ve been married for 47 years. Every Monday, he brings her home flowers after work. (via lifeondisplay)
brb, I have a couple thousand tears to go cry…
I think I have cracked the Ryan Gosling code.
The line between “hipster” culture and “jock” culture is starting to fade.
Suddenly hipsters are into organized sports and find once indie girls, now “overrated”. Suddenly jocks and business bros are active in Williamsburg on a Saturday night and are into bands like Wild Beasts and Tallest Man on Earth. I was once at a bar in Philly when a Neutral Milk Hotel song came on the speakers and this group of drunk pink polos started grabbing at each other, high fiving each other and generally being obnoxious as they sang along, bud lites in hand and eyes tightly closed.
“This song is the the fucking best, man. I love the album.”
In “hipster” culture, its ironic to wear a baseball cap and drink beer at a sports bar while suddenly being interested in hockey. For jocks its finally cool to admit that there is more to life than the Dallas Cowboys, cars and boobs (but not a whole lot more). Being indie is sexy and main stream now. The 80s are over. The cold business brat is over. Being cool, is uncool.
I personally welcome the change. The sooner “hipster” generation gets over them selves and admits that they never heard of The Shins until they saw Garden State, and jocks can open up and write poetry, the sooner I can come out and say that I read mostly the Post over the Times because it has more pictures in it.
And that’s why Ryan Gosling is so perfect right now. He is the perfect mix between tender heart, silent creative genius and Brooklyn speaking buff jock. He is a hybrid of what everyone wants to be. Take off the glasses and the ukulele and he really is just a very very talented good looking buff Hollywood DUDE. But add the band, the masculine nonchalant necklace and a dog and you’ve got an ARTIST.
Mari cracked the code.
this is great.
Nailed it.

Song Analysis: White Dress!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgjBkdEv0qA (The song if you’d like to listen to it. YOU SHOULD….Now…RIGHT NOW =D)
This is almost on the very top (if not my top) favorite Parachute song. It’s just so sweet, and catchy. I think White Dress is one of those songs you can relate to anyone in your own life which is kinda why I like it. I also think it was one of those songs that Will wrote that actually was inspired by a person *cough*taylor*cough* or from personal expirence. To me it’s just this beautiful love letter to a girl basically saying “I want to be your everything”. Which is what makes this song so unbarebly sweet.
To start off I want to point out that to me, and most people, white is a symbol of peace, and pureness which I think is sort of an underlying meaning to the song. The way Will portrays the girl in the song is very…angelic in a way. I feel like he just sees this girl as someone who’s pure and brings this light to people. The only bitter sweet thing about this song is that you kind of get the feeling he’s stuck in the “friend zone”. He’s gotten to know this girl and what she wants in life. She tries convincing him that what she wants is outside in the world but he knows all she wants is love and he wants to be the man to give that to her. And as much as she tries to tell him that her life is out in the city he just can’t let the love he has for her go. I think he also portrays the girl as having this humbleness about her. Like she has this faded picture of what her life use to be but she’s holding onto it.
“Love don’t leave her.
I know just what she’s looking for.
Oh but all she knows is
a picture that keeps fading more.”
Then he goes into the chorus which is basically his confession to the girl. This is also the part where I melt and belt out the song like the person I’m singing to is right in front of me. It’s pretty self explanatory really. He’s saying he wants to love this girl more then all of the things she wants in life, all of the things she has, and all of the things to come. She wants to have everything but she’s looking for it in all the wrong places because she doesn’t see that he can give her everything.
“I wanna love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you’re not
You wanna have it all
But you found it in the city
But the city doesn’t talk”
In verse 2 he goes back to talking about her angelic ways. To me this verse is just kind of saying she’s staying true to herself. “She wears a gold cross. She sheds her skin but it never comes off.” He’s going back to those little things she is holding onto that keep her humble. Her gold cross, her faded picture, all remind her of who she is and it seems like that’s the quality he loves about her. The fact that she is so sure of who she is and where she’s from. But the one thing he wants is for her to just listen to that voice telling her “loves right behind you”.
He goes back into the chorus again. The line “She found it in the city but the city doesn’t talk” always confused me a little but I think he’s trying to say that she’s found what she wanted in the city but it’s not enough, something is missing and he knows it’s love. AW.
The music gets soft again and he describe her as “floating off through a crowded room”. Once again back to the whole angelic, pure, kind of theme, that this girl isn’t like the others. This room is crowded but she’s glowing in it, she stands out to him. Then the music picks up again and Will explains that while she’s “floating through this crowded room” she’s thinking about the “rows and rows of houses and the street lights going home.” Once again show casing her humbleness. The fact that she’s in a room full of people and she’s just thinking back on the life she use to have. I love this because I think a guy has to be so observant to see this kind of thing. It just seems to me, the way he sings it, almost makes you feel like he’s studied her. Like he knows her inside and out and you just have this hope that it works out for him.
Then comes my favorite part where the music just stops and Will sings. “That’s why I’m telling her. I want to love…YOU…MORE.” That parts just fun to yell. But I think that’s the point in the song where he finally gets the courage to tell her all this. To me it just seems like that was his moment and he chose to take it. He sings that part with such passion that I feel like she’s finally hearing him. And it ends with with her realizing that loves been right behind her all along.
This song is so hard not to love. It seriously makes me smile every time I hear it. You all know who I think it’s about ;) But I just love it cause I think of someone spacific when I sing it. I think of that person I would never have to courage to say all this to, but I want to so badly. So it’s very therapeutic to blast and sing your lungs out to in the car xD LOL
Basically you describe the whole song through this GIF….
