High Fidelity

Typical guy movie.

I liked it too though... but mostly for the music shop antics. Especially those of Jack Black and the other oddball guy in the shop.

I thought the main character (played by John Cusack) was a self-absorbed dickhead: especially for blaming his girlfriend for not telling him about her pregnancy when she found out that he was sleeping with another girl.

The wake scene in the movie gets me too. And the scene after that with the car and the rain. Gets me in the gut.


Fallen for you
Did you ever see me,
Watching from periphery?
I was playing another game
I hoped you catch on all the same.
Fallen from view
Did you ever touch me,
Floating through your potpourri?
I thought I felt your fingers once
After waiting all these months
But I was wrong, so wrong
That was just another song you wrote,
for another girl
And I hoped the day could be
When you'd write a song for me
But it never came,
I thank you all the same,

But I'll go now,
so you won't know how much I've fallen for you,
Pointless trying to be a man
Boy, you don't know if you can
I thought I knew you well enough
But your walls are still too tough

But I was wrong,
so wrong
That was just another song you wrote,
for another girl
But I was wrong,
so wrong
That was just another song you wrote,
for another girl
And I hoped the day could be
When you'd write a song for me
But it never came,
I thank you all the same,
But I'll go now,
so you won't know how much
I Thought about you all the time,
Walking round, the Guggenheim.
Like a rhyme,
in my mind,
There you are,
in my car,
But we don't drive very far.
To the beach, out of reach
Next to me... my fantasy
Falling for you
Did you ever see me,
Watching from periphery?
I was playing another game
I hoped you catch on all the same.
