Sweeter Than Fiction

Happy Fandom Friday!!! So since today's been such an awesome day, I'll post some awesome Fandom news. The new UK movie, Once Chance, features an all new single by my favorite artist, Taylor Swift. She co-wrote with guitarist, Jack Antonoff from American rock band, Fun. The film premiered September 6, 2013, at the International Film Festival. The new song, Sweeter Than Fiction, plays at the end credits.

It's supposed to be released later this Fall. However, the whole song was recorded during the premiere, and posted. It's not the best quality, but it'll have to do. Also, a 30 second preview of the official studio recorded track was released by iTunes. You can check both versions below, along with the lyrics!! Again, Happy Fandomonium Friday!!!! EXPAND THE RANDOM FANDOM....

Lyrics:

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground (oh, oh)

Only sound, only sound that you hear is “no”

You never saw it coming

Except when you started running

And now you come undone (I, I, I)

Seen you lost in a crowd, seen you colors fade

Wish I could make it better

Someday you won’t remember,

This pain you thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]

There you stand, ten feet tall

I will say, “I knew it all along”

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

Just a shot, just a shot in the dark (oh, oh)

All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes

They never saw it coming

You hit the ground running

And now you’re on to something

I, I, I say

What a sight, what a sight when the light came on

Put me right, threw me right when you put them front

And in this perfect weather

It’s like we don’t remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Corus]

There you stand, ten feet tall

I will say, “I knew it all along”

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

[Bridge]

I’ll be one of the many saying

Look at you now, look at you now, now

I’ll be one of the many saying

You’ve made us proud, you’ve made us proud

I'll be one of the many saying

Look at you now, look at you now, now

I’ll be one of the many saying

You’ve made us proud, you’ve made us proud, proud

And when they call your name

And they put your picture in a frame

You know that I’ll be there time and again

‘Cause I you loved when

When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground oh, oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear is “no”

Now in this perfect weather

It’s like we don’t remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]

There you stand, ten feet tall

I will say, “I knew it all along”

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

Catching Fire - 'Atlas' TV Spot

A new Catching Fire TV spot was released today, featuring new, never before seen footage, and the song, "Atlas" by Coldplay from the official Catching Fire Soundtrack!!! Can't. Wait...

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - 'Atlas' TV Spot:

Maryse You Didn't Warn Us Monolgue

Happy Monologue Monday!! Today I've chosen a monologue from the 2nd book in The Mortal Instruments series, City of Ashes, by Cassandra Clare. The character, Maryse, has a long, hard grudge, and won't let go. She feels betrayed, and doesn't know who she can trust. Here's what she has to say.

City of Ashes, Maryse You Didn’t Warn Us Monologue

Some things you never forget. You think pretending his own death was the biggest lie Valentine ever told us? You think charm is the same as honesty? I used to think so. I was wrong. He told us he would lay down his life for the Circle and that he expected us to do the same. And we would have -- all of us -- I know it. I nearly did it. You remember the way he told us that the Uprising would be nothing, hardly a battle, a few unarmed ambassadors against the full might of the Circle. I was so confident in our swift victory that when I rode out to Alicante, I left Alec at home. I asked Jocelyn to watch him while I was away. She refused. I know why now. She knew -- and so did you. And you didn’t try to warn us.

Catching Fire Capitol Training

Here's a clip of the tributes training in the Capitol for the 75 Annual Hunger Games, otherwise known as the Quarter Quell! This year, training seems more... intense, since all the tributes are previous victors.

Catching Fire hit theaters November 22, 2013!!!

Sleep vs. TV

Happy Trivia Tuesday!!! Sorry I've been a little AWOL with the theme days... I thought about making up for yesterday's Monologue Monday, I've had a few for a while now, but it's a different day, and well... it just felt wrong. So this piece of trivia will just have to do.

Here's another Snapple fact I found interesting, and trust me, it probably applies to you.

Real Fact #835: You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.

Weird, right? Well I guess it makes sense since your body repairs and rejuvenates itself while you're at rest. Now I know my weekend plans.... :)) Again, Happy Trivia Tuesday!!!

Ge.tt Free Files

I've found this website, http://ge.tt/ that allows you to upload files for free and share them. This includes... Mp3 files!!! Yayy! I've uploaded nearly 100 of Taylor Swift's unreleased songs, including demos, live versions, covers, and much, much more. You can hear how her voice and style changed as she got older. There's a lot of really awesome songs, some that are so good, I can't believe they're not on an albums!! You can download the file by simply clicking the download symbol (it looks like a downward arrow), or just listen to them for free online.
It took a while to gather all these songs, so I hope you enjoy!!

Here's the link to the songs I posted: http://ge.tt/4UDDH2u

Google Site

I have some more news for Fandomonium Friday.... I've made a Google Site!!! Yayyy... I'll admit, it's pretty plain and boring, but it does have some benefits. I know close to nothing about embedding Mp3 files into Blogger, and google sites makes it so easy to share files. You can even save them to your computer!! So that's probably the main reason I created it. I uploaded some of the unreleased Taylor Swift songs I have on file. Unfortunately, there is a storage limit, so I was only able to upload about half of the 40 songs I have. :( I hope I'll be able to eventually add Mp3 files to Blogger, but until that miracle happens, google sites will have to do.

You can click the Google Site tab at the top of the page, or follow this link:
https://sites.google.com/site/mockingjaytay13/

After that, click on the Mp3 tab on the google site to listen to or download some of the songs.

Catching Fire IMAX Featurette & EW

Happy Fandom Friday!!! Today I've discovered some new CATCHING FIRE news!! As some of you may know, the movie's also in IMAX!!! AWESOME, right? IMAX was kind enough to give us this exclusive featurette with behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews with the stars. 

Plus, the new issue of Entertainment Weekly is on stands now, featuring new movie and set photos, plus more interviews with the cast. There's a total of 4 collectible covers as well!!!!

You can pre-order your tickets for either IMAX, IMAX Double Feature, Normal Movie, or Double Feature and receive a FREE song download, and will automatically be entered for cool prizes!! The Double Features both premiere November 21, 2013 -- a day early!!!

Until then remember: Every revolution begins with a spark...

'Til Brad Pitt Comes Along

Here's one of Taylor's MANY unreleased songs, that's near impossible to get in mp3 format. So I cheated by just copying the embed link someone already made. The 1st ever audio file... yayy, it's a start!! Hopefully I'll figure out how to post more.

Better Off

Here's an unreleased song by Taylor Swift called, Better Off. It really reminds me of the song, Ours, from Speak Now. It's about a relationship, where the guy may be a little different, or seem like trouble. People judge and criticize and create their own opinions, but when you have that gut feeling that something's just right, no one else matters. They all think you're "Better Off" without him, but I guess they just don't know better.

P.S. Here's the link where you can download the studio recorded (unpitched) song from my google site: Better Off Download
It should just download to your computer.

P.P.S. Sorry the video sounds like the pitch was changed; it was the only one I could find. Trying to upload an MP3 file just turned into a big fiasco, so... yeah.
Hopefully in the near future, I'll figure out how to create my own embed links using MP3 files I already have on my computer. But until then, youtube will have to do....
