In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

I'm very happy and glad that I finally learned how to play a song of one of my favourite bands on guitar. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. I can't stop playing it and singing it, and it probably annoyed the knickers off of my cousins. I don't really care because I'm just really glad. Death Cab songs are difficult for me, especially because I'm such an amateur. I just need to find the time to better myself, that's all. I've been playing for 4 years now, and I can't even perfect a freaking barre chord. I mean, I can play one, but not without buzzing. Pathetic, aren't I? Neutral Milk Hotel not only have simple songs to play on the guitar, but they have meaning in the songs. The album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea was actually about Anne Frank. Jeff Magnum, the lead singer was affectionate toward her and wrote, like, 4 songs with phrases leaninng toward her life, or somewhat. I respect him for doing that because The Diary of a Young Girl is one of my favourite books ... ever! I don't know, something about her makes me feel remorse for her, but at the same time, excited. Anyways, the lines of Holland, 1945:

"The only girl I've ever loved,
was born with roses in her eyes,
but then they buried her alive,
one evening 1945,
with just her sister by her side,
and just weeks before the guns
came in and rained on everyone..."

How did I know this?
Well, actually, I was wikipedia-ing this rich person that died, with the word von in her name, then that led me to Kat Von D, the chick who does tattoos. After that, it led me to burlesque, then that led me to people named Millie. After that, it led me to the movie, The Diary of a Young Girl. Then, of course, to Anne Frank. Then, there was this link that led me to "Anne Frank in media entertainment". Finally, it gave me facts about Neutral Milk Hotel. Yes, I have to find something better to do with myself.


OH, yes, I switched blogs. Deal with it.
