Behind the FAWM Series #11 - "Let's Move to Stars Hollow"


Really, if you are not a Gilmore Girls fan...this may not be that funny.
It may not be that funny if you are a Gilmore Girls fan.
Who knows.

I do know, that there are a WHOLE lotta guys out there who are GG fans and my husband happens to be one of them.

We got through the entire show in about 2 months.
WE ARE ADDICTS.
And now, every fall I long to pack my things and move us to the crisp New England imaginary town of Stars Hollow.

This song is...well...just plain silly. I don't even know how I fit in all the lyrics of the bridge, and I think I actually gave up at one point and let it all sound crazy.

Ryan Miller, who is another FAWMer, friend, and GG fan, suggested this title.
So *I* suggested a co-write.

He and I worked feverishly on these awe inspiring lyrics.
Every line of the song means something GGish.

If only there was a way to work in how annoying Dean is.

The music itself is sort of a nod to Lane's quirky taste in underground indie rock.

Whelp, here goes:

Does anyone recognize the outro?
Favorite GG moment?
Have I lost any fans over this one? Wait. Don't answer that.






Let's Move to Stars Hollow

Suggested and co-written by Ryan Miller

Star crossed lovers lost and found

In the middle of a town

They made their home and stuck around

In Stars Hollow

Every Thursday night I'd start to dream

‘bout the paradise on my TV screen

That gazebo on the rolling green

Is so inviting


Take my hand

Where you lead I’ll follow

Take a chance

Let’s move to Stars Hollow


I don’t care where we go

Sores and boils alley

Constabulary road

It can be crusty bulge

As long as it’s Stars Hollow


(Chorus)


Summer, fall, winter spring

There’s a festival for each

Doose’s Market, Kim’s Antiques

Dance School, Weston’s Bakery


Troubador is strolling by

I hear him from the Dragonfly

Hometown diner, coffee, pie

They’ve even got 2 Lorelai’s


Luke and Taylor

Jackson, Sookie

Kirk, Michel, Babette, Miss Patty

Lane, Paul Anka, Lulu, Gypsy

Everybody’s talking fast

And everybody’s so damn WITTY!

Love the song.
Love me some GG.
My husband likes it too.

So I actually took a day trip to the "real" Stars Hollow and posted some pictures on my blog. There is even a gazebo in the middle of town. Seriously, go there.
