cellar door

I watched Donnie Darko last night. Have you seen it? If not, you must. Be prepared to do some thinking though. In it, Drew Barrymore's character is talking about an author who says that out of all the words and combinations of words in the english language the most beautiful is cellar door. I can't get that out of my head. Do you ever get that? Maybe with a line from a song. Have you ever heard a song lyric that haunts you? Like you can't get it out of your head it's so good. Or maybe it's not that remarkable, but for some reason you can't let it go. Maybe it's the way they phrased it, or the way they sing it. Am I alone in this? Listen to any Rilo Kiley or Jenny Lewis cd. She is an incredible wordsmith. Peace.
