We won't stop til it's over/won't stop to surrender

If you have the chance to see (500) Days of Summer, do so. It's a great movie. I loved every second of it, and I'm considering to pay to see it again. I felt like I could really relate to Tom, the main character, on some level. Then again, I think that's how his character is supposed to make any viewer feel. I develop infatuations with possibilities and ideas just as Tom does, and that was such a weird emotion to see in someone else, especially on the big screen. At some points I felt like I was watching myself go through the trials and tribulations of being disappointed by the destruction of potential--something I feel like I'm all too familiar with--only to be lifted up again by the introduction of something new and refreshing. It was a fun movie to watch, and it had a lot of heart. I LOVED the cinematography. I wish I could pull off Joseph Gordon Levitt's style. GOTTA LOSE ME SOME WEIGHT! Plus, the soundtrack is amazing. I highly recommend giving it a listen.

There's one song in particular that I'm obsessed with right now. "Sweet Disposition" by The Temper Traps:

"...just stay there
'cause
i'll be comin' over
and while our bloods still young
it's so young
it runs
and we won't stop til it's over
won't stop to surrender

songs of desperation
I played them for you
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
a kiss, a cry
our rights, our wrongs..."

In fact, I just love The Temper Traps in general. I got their CD as well, and it's really good. Makes me feel very independent for some reason. Not in the "indie" sense (
haha, I'm so punny), but just in the I'm-gonna-think-and-feel-how-I-want-to-and-you-aren't-gonna-stop-me sorta way. I'm cherishing that feeling right now, so I think that's why I love this music, and movie, so much.
