this world is a cruel place, and we're here only to lose.

Some people worship gods and saints.

Me?

I worship rock stars.





Last week I saw H.I.M. at the House of Blues. Ville Valo is Saint Valentine and this show was nothing short of a religious experience.



I would give anything to go back and relive that night. To escape back to that alternate universe that was created, when the only sound I heard was his voice, getting ingrained deep into my head, deafening and epic.















The only time I'm ever truly happy is when I get lost in music. I've listened to 'Screamworks' pretty much every single day since I bought it. You'd think I'd be sick of it by now...






These photos are stills from an OLD favourite... a true H.I.M. classic, "Join Me (in death)".

How many of your favourite bands have you seen live?? Was it a million times better than hearing the c.d.??










*heres hoping I get to see Saint Valentine again one day*

<3

I'll kiss that smile off your face... just say when.

Shame on me.




I'm supposed to be working on my homework, but I've been (happily) sidetracked by the new H.I.M. video, aka the video I wish to live in this week.



I highly recommend the new album, 'Screamworks' to anyone who loves beautiful, honest lyrics and great guitar playing.








I've always wished that I could have been blessed with any kind of musical talent - but great tunes aren't always complete without a great set of words to accompany them. Some people, like Ville Valo, seem to be born with a natural ability to write gorgeous lines that read more like a poem than a song. And English isn't even Valo's first language!! How's that for talent? ;)


















Who are some of your favourite lyricists??
Past or current?
English-speaking or not?

Share share shaaaare.
