Bethany Joy Lenz performs Someone To Watch Over Me in celebration of Diamond Gothic’s Twitter reaching 5,000 followers.
it’s the oldest story in the world. one day you’re seventeen and planning for ‘some day’, and then quietly and without you ever really noticing, ‘some day’ is today. and then ‘some day’ is yesterday. and this is your life. we spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. but ambition is good. chasing things with integrity is good. dreaming.
if you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? if you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? say it, do it, don’t wait. nothing lasts forever. make a wish and place it in your heart. anything you want. everything you want. do you have it? good. now believe it can come true. you never know where the next miracle’s gonna come from. the next memory. the next smile. the next wish come true.
but if you believe that it’s right around the corner, and you open your heart and your mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you’re wishing for. the world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it.
so make your wish. do you have it? good. now believe in it. with all your heart.
Galeotti’s performance was absolutely heart-stopping, and we’d have to have been made of stone to avoid shedding a tear over it. She’s had many stand-out moments over the course of the series, but this week’s was undoubtedly her strongest work, and if there’s any justice in the industry, she’ll find herself highly sought-after from here on out.
(x, spoilers for tonight’s episode)
- Can Joy please get on a show that will get her talent recognition and a well deserved Emmy nom? Please?
-Women of Legend-
O my child, the heart is a perilous thing.
The heart crowns all paradoxes of God;
made of muscle and steel and fire, but frail as the sparrow’s wing.
Women of Legend are not born— they are grown
out of spit and dirt and fire and sweat;
they are not a glamorous flock.
They have grease underneath their fingernails
and wrinkles around their eyes.
They have bruises from too-hard pounding upon their breasts.
They have lines from laughter and their feet are callused
from barefooted adventures and sojourns.
Women of Legend are grown out of the spit and dirt and fire and sweat;
their significance is secured in their steadfast response
to unimaginable pain.
