ALEX CLARE: TOO CLOSE (LYRICS)


http://data.whicdn.com/images/42924121/Alex_Clare_AC07_thumb.png

You know I'm not one to break promises,
I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe.
At the end of it all, you're still my best friend,
But there's something inside that I need to release.
Which way is right, which way is wrong,
How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we're heading separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing I can really say.
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.

You've given me more than I can return,
Yet there's oh so much that you deserve.
There's nothing to say, nothing to do.
I've nothing to give,
I must live without you.
You know we're heading separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing I can really say.
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.

So I'll be on my way.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing that I can really say.
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.

So I'll be on my way.
So I'll be on my way.

LYRICS: I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying this is it, I've had enough, 'cause like
We haven't seen each other in a month
When you, said you, needed space, what?
Then you come around again and say
Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day
I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you

Oooh we called it off again last night
But Oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Like ever...

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me, falling for a screaming that I'm right
And you, will hide away and find your piece of mind with some indie record that's much cooler than mine

Oooh you called me up again tonight
But Oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

I used to think, that we, were forever ever ever
And I used to say never say never
Huh, he calls me up and he's like, I still love you
And i'm like, i'm just, I mean this is exhausting, you know
We are never getting back together, like ever

We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

We, oooh, oooh, not back together, we
Oh, getting back together

You go talk to your friends talk
And my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together





FAVOURITE MOVIE


http://data.whicdn.com/images/2289035/MV5BMTY3NTQ2NjgxNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwMDg2MDE3._V1._SX475_SY352__large.jpg

After all the horror, comes a bit of romantinc, with my favourite movie, Notting Hill, with Julia Roberts, as Ana Scott, and Hugh Grant, as William Thaker. William is unsuccessful Notting Hill owner, when Anna Scott, the worl's most beatiful and famous actress, enters in his shop. Later, William runs into her, and spills and orange juice over her, and she accepts going to his house to change her clothes, and she thanks him with a kiss. William, first try to forget Anna, but he can't, so he try to find her. After meeting his family and staying in his house, because she needs a place to hide out from the press, they finally fall love.

THE BEST HORROR MOVIE I HAVE SEEN



http://data.whicdn.com/images/37569934/483305_4051395358242_938552651_n_thumb.jpg

The best and most frightening horror movie I have ever seen is clearly Poltergeist. It tells the story of a family living in a planned comunity.The little daughter, Carol Anne, starts at night a conversation with the television. The parents didn't care about it, and overlooked all instructions. One day, when the other son, Robbie is taken out of the window and Carol Anne disappear in a wardrobe, the parents look for help from parapsychologists who pick up their two children back to the family. In the end, it turns out that the house is built over an old cemetery, and they move out immediately into a hotel.
One of the most frightening scenes of all te movie, in my opinion, is when the little daughter is talking with the television and suddenly her parents ask what she's doing, she only answers, They're here.
But that was not the worst, after the shootings for the three films, all actors died. And from there on, the people talk about the curse of the Poltergeist.


COMIC RELIEF





http://data.whicdn.com/images/41239748/60317_328265213937668_1485207872_n_thumb.jpg


A comic relief means a releasing of emotional or other tensios resulting from a comic episode interposed in the midst of serious or tragic elements in a drama
They are used in horror movies when the work enters a dramatic moment.
I really don't remember laughing horror films, because that three times in my life that I saw a horror film I, honestly, were to scared to laugh.
But, some examples of the using of the comic relief are Star Wars, Les misérables...

SUSPENSE


http://data.whicdn.com/images/43699650/tumblr_luy2khuPtQ1r03eggo1_500_large.gif


The master of suspense is definetely Alfred Hitchock. His most famous horror film is Psycho, made in 1960.
Hitchcock's most important contribution to horror fims was the use of the subjective camera to reveal a charachter's vision. The character's he use to use were the Psychos, a suave and unflappable hero, outlandish dangers and beautiful predatory women.

READ, READ, READ!

http://data.whicdn.com/images/44676501/61389_249695181826021_1134122007_n_large.jpg

When I was a little kid, I used to read all the nights. But I never found books that really interested me. But one day, my grandma gave me a book, The Diary Princess, from Meg Cabot. It was the first book I loved, and I read it like 5 times in a row. Now there are about ten books to buy, which all tells the story of the Princess Mia, and they made two films based on the diarys. Most say that these are for 12 year old girls, but I still like them, and they teach you a lot about life. Now that I'm a bit older, I love the books from Susan Elizabeth Phillips, who is, in my opinion, one of the best authors of romance of the century.

JUST HAVE FUN

http://data.whicdn.com/images/10385686/tumblr_lm4po98u1T1qed43zo1_500_large.jpg

Next year, my friend Esther and I will go for a week to Germany to visit my village. We'll probably travel with plane in march from Barcelona, and in a few hours we would be there already. We will visit some cities, like Freiburg, Stuttgart, Kahrlsruhe and go shopping a lot. But one day is already reserved, because we must go to the Europapark. It's the biggest and funniest attraction park that i know. It will be one week, without the stress and exams, just to relax, have fun and be ourselves.

NEVER GIVE UP LIKE COCO CHANEL

To follow our dreams we all can need a bit of motivation. Most people think that if they really want it, they can do it, but there is always this voice inside our head that tell us, are you sure that you can do it? And at that moment, a lot of people give up on their dreams. But, what is if people like Coco Chanel would have given up?
If Coco Chanel really would have given up, we all were dressed with dresses and corsets right now. She was one of the first women in the world who had the power to succeed in a world full of men. And all this because she NEVER gave up.

THE GOTHIC NOVEL




http://data.whicdn.com/images/44183451/tumblr_mduyl3SMlw1rxpw5xo1_500_large.png

The first Gothic Novel was written by Horace Walpole in the eighteenth century. His first and most important novel was The Castle of Otranto.He has influenced  the novels, short stories,poetries and even gothic films of today.
Some of the basic elements wich are important and should be in a gothic novel o film are:
-Setting in a castle.
-An atmosphere of mystery and suspense.
-An ancient prophecy
-Omens, portents, visions.
-Supernatural or otherwise inexplicable events.
-High, even overwrought emotion.
-Women in distress.
-Women threatened by a powerful, impulsive, tyrannical male.
-The metonymy of gloom and horror
-The vocabulary
Last day, we discussed in class wich elements we think scare us when we see or read anything based on gothic or horror. The elements people said most was the metonymy of gloom and horror, wich includes, wind, rain, grating doors, stange voies, footsteps...
