Walking around aimlessly by myself Breathing a faint sigh, my breath turns white Seasons change, and in this fleeting season.. My tears fall for no reason “Even now, I still love you” (source) The lyrics are from the beginning of Gackt’s 2003 song, Last Song. When I discovered his music, this one was among the […]
I was actually thinking about postponing this until… next week, maybe. But what the hell? Let’s do this! I’m going to write about Crimson Peak today, a Guillermo del Toro film, one I’ve been waiting to see since the day I heard the first whispers about it. Let me tell you this: there will be […]
A song you loved, forgot and rediscovered is always welcome in your life like an old friend. This is the case with a few songs from Nightwish, from that time when Tarja Turunen was the lead singer of this Finnish symphonic metal band. Nightwish has many beautiful and inspiring tracks, but for today I chose […]
I think that it’s been too long since I last spoke of Gackt’s songs. The winner for today is one I discovered a couple of months ago, Sakura Chiru. I had no idea that there’s also an English version sung by Yohio, so I have to thank Ana Maria for telling me about it. Both […]
Nowadays it’s very difficult to like a song after the radio and your friends have overplayed it to the point of saturation and hate. However, such a miracle happens sometimes due to a feeling the song reminds you of or due to its music video that leaves a big impression on you. A song that […]
I saw a post for this tag about two months ago and found it quite interesting. From what I understood, this is the original video, but you can easily find the questions on tumblr accounts or on youtube. True to its name, the Opposite Books Tag means that you’ll have to revisit your bookshelves and […]
While I was writing about Fragrance, my mind kept running back to another one of Gackt‘s songs. It’s very short (less than three minutes) and it bears quite a delicate name: Sakurasou (Primrose). The song appeared on the 2005 album, Love Letter, but it reached my ears only a couple of months ago. I’ve been listening […]
I was a little boy when I Fell deep in love with beautiful Shelly; She is a girl who makes me fly, She is as sweet as taste of cherry. I like her smile, the way she walks, I like the way she draws and talks, I love she is forever her, But now she`s […]
I would write the novel of my life In which memories flow like a river Making my temples burn with fever And stabbing my chest deep like a knife. Oh, harsh novel of my existence, You’re soaking wet by all the wasted tears My helpless thoughts draw shaking fears When some people mocked my presence. […]
I fancy myself a Janeite at heart, but my life is far from being a romance: I went through some Dickensian episodes and sometimes through Kafkaesque situations, but time taught me to stop being Shakespearean and to start treating life sarcastically. I won’t be Balzacian, so, when things get too sadistic, prove that you are […]
