some kind of miracle

"At the end of a day like this, when so many prayers are answered and so many aren’t, we take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch." - Meredith Grey

Oh my. I just caught the latest episode of Grey's season 3 and I feel like a total wreck now.
Not that it was as devastating as the promos claimed to be, because trust me, it turned out the way any Grey's fan would hope for, but because Grey's have a way of just making you feel like a total wreck. Which is just amazing. It just touches you, makes you think.
Which is the whole point of watching it in the first place. Amazing TV.

Peishan keeps concluding that Grey's is a very sad show. Which is so so true.
I can't help but think that there wasn't a single episode where all the characters were ever happy. Yes, there are always down right hilarious moments in the episodes, those kind of LOL moments in the show... but most of the time, the characters aren't happy.
They are all so so flawed, that even if they are happy, they are happy at the expense of others. (ahaha) I mean just look at them. How can they be happy?
But the thing is, even though its such a sad show, it makes it so addictive and realistic, because sometimes, our own sad sorry lives are reflected in it. Which is why so many people just keep going back for more and more of Grey's.

And the fascinating part of the episodes is the way so much emotion is always packed in the last 5 minutes of every single episode.
I love the endings of Grey's episodes. Its like, the whole point of watching the episode, is in the last 5 minutes, where some amazing song starts playing, where Mer's voice over starts concluding, where different scenes of individual characters start showing; its like a collage that is finally being pieced together. And everytime it happens, I get this rush of emotions that makes it hard to function once it all ends. Always happens. Without fail. Guaranteed plus chop. (OMG. Coffee shop singlish!)

Anyway, here's another song from the ending of a Grey's Anatomy episode.I heart the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack. Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers are geniuses for 1.creating Grey's Anatomy and 2. for being able to, time and time again, choose the right songs to use as the ending pieces, songs that match the scenes that are being screen to a tee.
I have the second soundtrack, but not the first. Tried to buy the first, but they have for only from import, and its freaking ex! like over 50 dollars or something! =/
Anyway, the song being featured today... Its called Swan by Unkle Bob, an Indie Band based in Glasgow (which, for some of my Geography-challenged friends, is in Scotland).
A very short song, but I dunno packed with emotion.You should watch it in the context of the episode, just note that this song is being played in an amazing, and oh so heart-wrenching sequence where Izzie and Denny encounter each other again.
YES, you read me right. Grey's fans who have watched up to season 2, Izzie and Denny encountered each other again, can't tell you how, and can't tell you why, but its just amazing.

I realised my taste in english music these days is very melancholic. I dunno, I have little patience for over the top singing these days. You know, those screaming lungs kind of thing, that Mariah, Whitney, and the likes love to do.
But the english music I listen to these days, are all those quiet, loungey-jazz, folksy, emo type soft rock and stuff. Which tends to become very depressing sometimes. I can't stand big band, old style screaming anymore. (which is why I'm not watching Dreamgirls and American Idol.)
Is it me, or have I become seriously old? =/

I am so dark and twisty. =)
