Ryan Miller - Big Machine

Artist: Ryan Miller (of Guster)
Song: Big Machine
Album: Safety Not Guaranteed Soundtrack
Year: 2012


"Stand straight fall back in line, comb your hair get to work on time, everyone in the big machine tries to break your heart and pull you underneath..."

"Everybody’s talking in their sleep, they push a lot of air around but don’t say much of anything, except when they're laughing like some ghosts under a sheet, everybody’s talking in their sleep..."


*A COMMENT: Yesterday I watched this movie, 'Safety not Guaranteed' and I can say I utterly liked it. And I would have posted this song yesterday, but by the time I watched it I had already posted one. Moreover, before I heard the song in the movie I liked some quotes, paused it, wrote them and save it here as a draft with the intention of writing something about them, then the song came along and Voilà! I got a post.

Now let me give you a quick background. It was shown at 2012 Sundance Film Festival and it was inspired on a classified ad, the one you see on the CD cover, in 1997 as joke. 

Anyhow, if you have the chance, watch it, I highly recommend it. 

Here are the quotes I liked. The first one somehow describes perfectly the purpose of this blog. I loved it.


"It's not just about a girl, it's about a time and a place... It's that time and that place, and that song, and you remember what it was like when you were in that place and then you listen to that song and you know that you are not in that place anymore and it makes you feel hollow... We can't just go find that stuff again."

"The mission has to do with regret. And the mission has to do with mistakes. The mission’s also about love."





And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
