Perfect Two: Auburn

You can be the peanut butter to my jelly
You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly
You can be the captain
And I can be your first mate
You can be the chills that I feel on our first date
You can be the hero
And I can be your side kick
You can be the tear
That I cry if we ever split
You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'
Or u can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

Don't know if I could ever be
Without you 'cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need
Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/auburn/perfect_two.html ]
You can be the prince and I can be your princess
You can be the sweet tooth I can be the dentist
You can be the shoes and I can be the laces
You can be the heart that I spill on the pages
You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as were together

Don't know if I could ever be
Without you 'cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need
Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause your the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two

You know that I'll never doubt ya
And you know that I think about ya
And you know I can't live without ya
I love the way that you smile
And maybe in just a while
I can see me walk down the aisle

Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry
Hook
Cause your the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for u)
U take the both of us (of us)
And were the perfect two
Were the perfect two
Were the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two(yeah, yeah)

Homework for this weeeekkkk

Milton Glaser on using design to make ideas new: 

He was asked to do paintings to celebrate the life of Piero Della Francesca and this led him to a whole new way of thinking, comparing looking at these paintings as nature. A way of observation to analyze a piece and be able to look at it in a different way and take liberty to change something about them. I thought it was interesting the way he spoke of looking differently at the piece thinking of it in an entirely different way, recreating it without it fully losing its originally meaning but giving it slightly different context.

“I never understood the conflict between abstraction and naturalism...since all paintings are inherently abstract to begin with....there doesn't seem to be an argument there.” 

He then went on to speak of how we read things and how we are persuaded by what we know, like the word “reliable” and what follows after. It got me thinking of what do we know as genuinely reliable and is someone going to convince us otherwise if we already believe something is unreliable? Posters deal with deciding what they say and how they say it to convince the viewer of their point.

He deals with the norms of posters and pushing those boundaries. A poster is not meant to be explained, but he says maybe that is not true. SO he went on to deal with simple posters but then giving a tiny explanation, revealing his thought process and therefore willingly exposing himself. He goes on to see if a poster really has to be square and rectangle and pushes that idea. And continues to what is art and making posters that reveal that accompanied by a literature in case the viewer doesn’t get it, which i think is great. 

He actually is very interesting, funny and welcoming. He brought up many good points. 

David Carson on design and discovery:

“Great design is a never-ending journey of discovery...”

“Im a big believer in the emotion of design and the message that is sent before someone begins to read....”

• Design has gotten much simpler in recent years, getting to the point of being so simple that it is slightly turning back to how it was before. 
• Just because something legible doesn't mean it communicates the right thing, there are other factors that go into it. 
• I loved how his pieces and pieces he showed push the idea of text overlaying an image. I feel those sometimes are the most powerful. 
• He showed how big magazines deal with big issues, for example 911 in Time and People magazine and how they didn't deal with the space well and that gave a very negative impact. The images were so contrasting. 
• His found images were for the most part really compelling and his sense of humor is engaging. I actually really enjoyed this video. 
• The thing he said that stood out to me the most was, “You have to utilize who you are through your work....no one else can do that.” so true!

The Girl: City and Colour

I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work

While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world ('round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl.

Michelle Branch: Crazy Ride

Goodnight big moon
Sweet dreams baby
If i could have one wish tonight,
it would be that
You'll always keep, keep the starlight in your eyes

One day you'll grow up
One day you'll walk out
in this big world on your own
And they'll be days that your heart will break and
You'll swear that all your strength is gone

Then you'll find a way to carry on

Heaven knows that its a crazy ride
It's never perfect all the time, it will pull you down
And send you flyin', so baby hold on tight
On this crazy ride

So don't be scared when
Your in the darkness, and the sun is swallowed by the ground
You'll think its gone but its hanging on
Its just on the other side of town.

Even when its lost, it can be found

Heaven knows that its a crazy ride
Its never perfect all the time
It will pull you down and send you flyin'
So baby hold on tight,
On this crazy ride

oh, oh, oh, ohhhhh

Heaven knows that its a crazy ride
Its never perfect all the time
You know it's just a crazy ride,
Its never perfect all the time
It will pull you down and send you flyin', so baby
Hold on tight, on this crazy ride

Goodnight big moon,
Sweet dreams baby

Brett Dennen: Ain't no Reason

There ain’t no reason things are this way.
Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Preachers on the podium speakin’ of saints in seance,
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life workin’ for something
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking ‘bout nothing, not thinking ‘bout death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.

There Ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free,I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.
Working your fingers bear to the bone,
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung that’s filled with coal, suffocatin’ slow.
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
