Song of the Week 44 - 2018 The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This

I want to listen and study a song each week. This is my first iteration of this.

Song of the Week 44 - 2018
The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This


see the image larger here:

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
But she said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
She said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
I want something just like this

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this

Poetry by Luna Drakon, Blackout Poem



This is one of the blackout poems I created from an old copy of Twilight.
I have the ebook, and audio book so i wasn't worried about deconstructing this book- especially since i picked up this print copy at Goodwill.

I've been reading Austin Kleon's blog and tumblr; I wanted to create my own blackout poetry.
It's fun, and kills some down time. Plus it's a work that gives that quick fix of "I finished something".

* I intend to create more from this book and others than reorganize to create a cohesive set of my poetry books. {I'm going to tweak these more to cover the words, better before releasing beyond this blog}

* Also sometime in the future I intend to offer prints of these {maybe also a high-quality scanned digital version at a lower price point than the print}.
