Sing Me To Sleep

"Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep, I'm tired and I want to go to bed."

"I took the tape, but I felt weird about it because he had made it for her. But I listened to it. And loved it very much. There is one song called "Asleep" that I would like you to listen to. I told my sister about it. And a week later she thanked me because when this boy asked her about the tape, she said exactly what I said about the song "Asleep" and this boy was very moved by how much it meant to her."
(pg. 10)

"What's your favorite band?"
"I think maybe the Smiths because I love their song 'Asleep."
(pg. 20)

"There is one photograph of Sam that is just beautiful. It would be impossible to describe how beautiful it is, but I'll try. If you listen to the song "Asleep", and you think about those pretty weather days that make you remember things, and you think about the prettiest eyes you've known, and you cry, and the person holds you back, then I think you will see the photograph."
(pg. 48)

"The first present is going to be a mix tape. I just know that it should. I already have the songs picked out and a theme. It's called 'One Winter'. But I've decided not to hand-color the cover. The first side has a lot of songs by the Village People and Blondie because Patrick likes that type of music a lot. It also has Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, which Sam and Patrick love. But the second side is the one I like the most. It has winter kind of songs.
Here they are:
Asleep by the Smiths
Vapour Trail by Ride
Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel
A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum
Time of No Reply by Nick Drake
Dear Prudence by the Beatles
Gypsy by Suzanne Vega
Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues
Daydream by Smashing Pumpkins
Dusk by Genesis (before Phil Collins was even in the band!)
MLK by U2
Blackbird by the Beatles
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
and finally...
Asleep by the Smiths (again!)"
(pg. 61 and 62)

"I told my aunt Helen all about my life. About Sam and Patrick. About their friends. About my first New Year's Eve party tomorrow. I told her about how my brother would be playing his last football game of the season on New Year's Day. I told her about my brother leaving and how my mom cried. I told her about the books I read. I told her about the song 'Asleep'. I told her when we all felt infinite."
(pg. 93)

Love always, Charlie.







You can tell I'm having Perks withdraws.
But apparently the DVD release date has changed from February 12 to January 23.
So I know what I'm getting my brother for his birthday.
Mwahaha.
Love y'all.
Thanks for putting up with my random.
And can we all just agree that Logan Lerman is just the most adorable thing to walk this earth. He just makes you want to go up and give him a bear hug. Meh, so cute. My baby.
