As I was surfing the net, I ended up in a community of Live Journal, if I’m noot mistaken. There was a news about Zooey Deschanel. I read it, and loves Zooey’s “wisdom” at the end of the writing. Here, I copied of what the news has reported.

“I would rather be a songwriter than be an actor,”

I’m not so surprise with this one as I already have a hunch that she prefer to sing than play in a movie. Well, I guess the good thing is my opinion about her was right. and I am totally glad it is match.

“I’m grateful I’ve been so fortunate to have success as an actor, but being a songwriter is just creatively so satisfying. I know this is silly because I’m 28 years old, but this is all new to me, to be playing shows—there are people who know the words to the songs and are singing these melodies that were born in my bedroom. It’s amazing to me to give them a life, and they go and live on their own. I feel like that’s sort of some little microcosm of what parents feel like with children.”

It’s really amazing me that she has this kind of perspective. I bold those word that I think those are very cool. And Zooey was right. Giving other people melodies and rhytms would make their live became so much brighter and colourful. Therefore, to that extent, could also give them a life. To be honest, her songs do fill me with new soul, new life, new the way of thinking. In addition, some of her words on her movies also quite often slap me in the face. I learned so much about seeing the life in a different way through her movies.

Zooey and I don’t have a huge different in age. I was born in 81 while she was in 80. But clearly her mind is developed way far ahead than mine. That is why I admire her.

But knowing Zooey also bring my painful memory back. I always want to have a girlfriend who can sing and play music. This is why I get easily fall in love with girl who can sing. I want to create song with my girlfriend or my wife one day. And I did have a girlfriend that I used to think that she was the one. But she left me…

I guess the thing that I missed being with her so badly is when we did many things together for other people. Surprisingly, one day we finally created a song together. actually there were 2 songs, but I couldn’t remember the second one. We wrote that song in campus while we were hang out at fourth floor on the yard of our student association office. I distinctly remember I played the chord while she was doing the lyrics and melody. And the truth, I’d never came up with the melody as beautiful as she was made. It was a very awesome day. But now, seems to me quite difficult to have those days back.

Following Zooey track with her band She & Him has made me so envy. If my girlfriend and I had never broken up we probably would have the same career with She & Him. But I don’t know whether that dream would still happen to me sometime in the future.

This is probably never make any sense but I want to play in a band with zooey. I do also admire her voice. I think she would be really good singing jazz, just like the one she sang Hello Zooey in Raving. She does have a character of her own voice.

Well, the silver lining here is that I really greatful to have a chance to know Zooey Deschanel even though we’ve never met an acquaintance. And above all that I just want to say, many many many thank you, Zooey! Keep being a songwriter a cheering people with your lovely songs. You are the true artist!

Enough rambling around!

uh, btw, yesterday I just finished to write a score paper of one of Zooey’s song: Bittersuite. You can download it by clicking the following picture. I wrote it down using “Music Write 2000 Professional” as I have a lousy background of music theory. Please let me know what you think about it. And, if you find some notes which are not in correct tune please let me know. Thank you…
