Whoot! It's like, half a year away, BUT! A NEW FAVORITE SONG! (AKA More love from Loreena McKennitt)
All Soul's Night
Bonfires dot the rolling hills
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.
CHORUS
I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.
Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.
CHORUS
Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that runs out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me
CHORUS
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.
CHORUS
I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.
Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.
CHORUS
Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that runs out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me
CHORUS
Anyway. I need to write a thing that happens in late fall, speaking of. *Frowns* Maybe. Yeah. Late fall. Although without a religion justification for the parallel is hard to do... although then again the parallel isn't within the story it's outside of it.... yeeeeesssss... *Happy*
Yay. Okay. So I am getting a solid timeline. *Sigh* I need to... y'know. Write. But the last couple of days I've been... depressed beyond words, and this is the Week from Hell. Been reading webcomics to alleviate the pain.
I need to remember my meds. I haven't taken them in... ye gods. A month and a half, at least. *Sigh* I know, I know. I'm stupid, and bad. I can't help it. I'm forgetful. (Also, it's HORRIBLE--I've started hearing things when they're a teeny bit out of tune. Like, I can hear the quarter-steps and sometimes less now. It's driving me insane. Especially when it's on a recording.) I do have actual... news of a kind. I'll get to it in a little. During lunch, permaybehaps.
I seriously fucking need to find my keys. My mandolin's locked. And I want to plaaaaay... *Wibbles* Anyway. Back to reading Sinfest now. It's not THAT great, but there are some nice bits.
Also, SOMEONE needs to look like Viggo. It's final. Someone really, really does. I'd say Bren (YAY KINGS) except he's too rugged and reminds me more of another character. *Growls* But I'm shutting up now.






OMG I KNOW THAT SONG! AND IT IS INDEED AWESOME!
Ahem. Loreena McKennitt fan here, at your service. *memorized The Highwayman just to be able to sing along*
