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

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.
