The Road Not Seen


Hi! I'm Marianne! And I probably like you! For now! =D


"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a star"
-Nietsche

Me...I love Harry Potter (I'm a Slytherin of the best kind), Team Starkid, Doctor Who (David Tennant is my favorite), I can get into almost any kind of music but I love dancing and singing to Celtic/Gypsy fusion fun stuff (Scythian, ETH, Katzenjammer) and I guess you'd call it ehhh indie folk-ish(I'm bad at genres...I love Mumford and River City Extension and the Mountain Goats and such) but really anything, theatre, daisies, and my friends. I am quite le nerd. I also love tea and coffee (addicted, dear) and You've Got Mail is my favorite movie. [Is that enough about me? Better be]

I'm majoring in Television and hoping to get into script supervising and then directing probably dramas or comedies in some capacity (but not in front of the camera, I prefer directing, editing, and producing). I'd love to do something like 30 Rock or The Newsroom. (I'm in love with Tina Fey.) I'm really good at taking on way too many jobs relevant to my interests. I am always open to new things. I love learning from my friends and the various people I meet in the city and in my line of work. Oh yes, I also love Philadelphia more than anywhere.

Oh My God

As I finish washing the last of the tears off my face

Mumford & Sons were FANTASTIC tonight.

I literally cannot come up with enough amazing descriptive words for my night.

I laughed, I cried, I danced, I cried, I smiled, I cried, I frowned at people for arriving late and leaving early, I cried, I screamed and cheered, I cried…

If you can’t tell, I did a lot of crying.

I just have a lot of feelings (and the beautiful assholes had the gall to do Where Are You Now in the encore and then I broke)

Just so much talent in that group of crazy boys.

And the openers Haim and Ben Howard were totally sweet as well. Just not as many feels.

Fun Fact: I predict their next album to be Springsteen covers, which I would totally endorse after watching them cover Atlantic City.

BRUUUUUUUUUUCE.

Danger - Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside


Is this what they call love at first sight 

All full of fright and I’m face first on the floor 
‘Cause I got a stomach full of butterflies 
When I look into your eyes 
You make me want more 
You are such a mystery 
When you are next to me, you drive me crazy 
You had me since the minute you strolled in 
And even though you’re cold 
You make me want more 
 
I know you could be a danger 
‘Cause to me you are only a stranger 
Now I’ve got goosebumps under my skin 
I know I shouldn’t but I want to let you in 
Now all I wanna do is hold your hand 
And tell everyone that you’re my man 
You’re like the hero who fell from the sky 
And now I’m fallin’ too and I don’t know why 

You make me want more

River City Extension - The Fall and the Need to be Free

Keep your head up, Little Arrow

Find your path is not as narrow as it seems

You have grown.

You are free.

SONG OF THE DAY


River City Extension - Standing Outside a Southern Riot


There’s a face that’s just like mine
I used to wear it all the time
But I gave that up because I am no slave of a man
Sittin’ in my bed I’m tryin’
Oh my God I think I’m dyin’
And my poor mother’s crying
Confused and sad in the other room
Somebody tipped me off again
I used to think that I knew my friends
But it’s not the same as putting away your pride
Laying in my yard and sleeping
Wondering what house I’m keeping
Knowing I can run but I can’t hide

If there’s a place I’m supposed to go
Then why do I know what you don’t know
Does salvation only come for those who need it?
What’s the point in being right?
Denying you have seen the light
To wreck their faith because you don’t believe it?

Swallow Down Pt. I - OhBree



I just finally got around to downloading their discography and I’m so happy now ugh. This one off their newest album has to be my favorite one that I saw them do live, and they just make me want to dance. I love their sound so much, with the brass and just everything, gah.

New Band of the Week:


The Lumineers - Elouise

IF YOU’RE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK DON’T GET DOWN ON YOURSELF IT WON’T DO YOU NO GOOD

CAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE, FOUGHT 100 WARS, BUT I’M STILL FIGHTING FOR YOU

ELOUISE, WHY’D YOU LEAVE

PLEASE CONFESS, CONFESS TO ME

SING MY SONG, PATIENTLY 

AND I’LL RETURN, MY ELOUISE


I’m so glad my roommate understands my taste in music superwell sometimes and finds these things for me…

With the risk of sounding crazy and/or high, I literally want to take the sound of this band and cuddle it like a blanket. That is the only way I can describe my feelings towards it.

Pink Martini - Sympathique

Ma chambre a la forme d’une cage 
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre 
Les chasseurs ma porte 
Comme les p’tits soldats 
Qui veulent me prendre 

Je ne veux pas travailler 
Je ne veux pas déjeuner 
Je veux seulement l’oublier 
Et puis je fume 

My room is a cage 
The sun streams through the window, 
the bellhops are at my door 
like those little soldiers 
who want to take me away. 

I don’t want to work, 
I don’t want to lunch 
I only want to forget and so I smoke.

P!nk - Try (Official Lyric Video)

Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame someone’s bound to get burned

But just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die

You’ve gotta get up and try
