Day 13: A Song That Is A Guilty Pleasure

-

Everything Burns by Anastacia from Pieces of A Dream (2005)


I suppose it is one of my 'angry' songs as well (check out the lyrics), but it is definitely a guilty pleasure. It is out of my regular genres of musical comfort, but good enough for me to go back to it whenever I feel it. I don't think I've every skipped this song when my playlist is on shuffle mode. Love the tone, Ben Moody's voice - his writing is impeccable - and the timely surges in Anastacia's singing.







Written by Ben Moody


She sits in her corner, singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises that no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself, no tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages, feelings gone astray
But she will sing


Till everything burns, while everyone screams
Burning their lies, burning my dreams
And all of this hate, and all of this pain
I'll burn it all down till my anger reigns
Till everything burns

Walking through life unnoticed, knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade, no one sees her there
But still she sings

Till everything burns, while everyone screams
Burning their lies, burning my dreams
And all of this hate, and all of this pain
I'll burn it all down till my anger reigns
Till everything burns

Everything burns (everything burns)
Everything burns, watching it all fade away (all fade away)
Everyone screams, everyone screams (watching it all fade away)

Till everything burns, while everyone screams
Burning their lies, burning my dreams
All of this hate, and all of this pain
I'll burn it all down till my anger reigns
Till everything burns
(Everything burns) Watching it all fade away
(Everything burns) Watching it all fade away

Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen

This is not exactly a review - because I don't know the language well enough to write a German review, but I will, in due time. Reviewing the Harry Potter books would take its toll on me because of the details in it - the same goes for the Lord of the Rings. Maybe if I'd  reviewed them as I read them it would've made it easier but... Anyway. Harry Potter in Deutsch . I'm re-learning the language - signed up for the A1 level once again because I haven't retained what I learned three years ago. I can understand random words and simple sentences and make wild guesses at what the more complex sentences convey, but I would like to know the grammar, the structure and the foundation of the language so that I may indulge in German literature. These being my baby steps towards reading Goethe's Faust in German. I thought I'd start with something simple. Fairy tales, not so much, so I picked up a book that I know very well - Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen - wh...

The Magician's Death

Another P. C. Doherty historical mystery, this time set in medieval England, in the early 14th century and towards the end of the reign of Edward I . The focus is on his continual efforts to trump Philip IV of France , and the works of Roger Bacon . Sir Hugh Corbett , Keeper of the Secret Seal and the eyes and ears of King Edward I, serves as the intelligent academic and criminologist. It begins, as every good mystery should, with a death, here following a theft of a copy of Bacon's Secretus Secretorum (a lovely play on Secretum Secretorum ) from the French. The basis of the plot? Decode Bacon's, a priest and scientist, work by finding the key to his book because it's all written in code, and ultimately shift the balances of power in the favor of the one that makes the discovery first! Both Kings send envoys, academics led by a shrewd politician, to try and figure this out through mutual cooperation, but foul play is suspected in achieving these ends as people begin to die...

The Woman in White

One of the earliest works of detective fiction, The Woman in White is an epistolary novel set in the late mid-19th century, written by Wilkie Collins , a man who is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. This is definitely literature, the sleuthing and legal mind at its best. The foreword/preamble to the book sets the tone and pace of the novel, which essentially is a collection of statements of the various important people that figure in it. Much like a trial scene where each witness provides his side of the story, in facts. Walter Hartright, a twenty-something drawing master, receives an offer of employment, to teach drawing to two young ladies that reside in Limmeridge House. As he bids his family farewell and sets off to fulfill his commission, he meets a lady dressed in white. He doesn't realize until later that she was an escapee from a private asylum but thinks nothing of it as he settles in to his role as tutor. His employer, Mr. Fredrick Fairlie, is a middle aged man w...
