me: guess what?
friend: this better not be about those stupid Beatles
me: *walks away*
me: *goes home*
me: *blasts a Beatles album*
me: * curls up into a ball*
me: *whispers* they’re not stupid
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on....
What do you listen to?
Just said to a student that Enter sandman is a great song, and he went to youtube to listen to it.
He didn't know Enter Sandman.
He had never listened to Metalica.
No, it was not a child. It was a 30 years old.
Pleased to meet you, Hope you guess my name
”Sympathy For The Devil” by the Rolling Stones is a banger of a song, but actually goes deeper in its lyrics which most people notice on their listen-throughs of the hit. The band makes both biblical and historical references in their verses, citing Lucifer as the cause for these events taking place. So I thought it would be fun to break down the lyrics and their references. Enjoy!
“I was round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain.”: This is a reference to the story of Christ’s Agony in the garden of Gethsemane before the last supper, where he prays to his father about his upcoming fate of death.
“Made Damn sure the Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.”: This is a reference to Matthew 27:24 when Pontious Pilate refused to execute Jesus himself, and literally washed his hands in front of the crowd and left it to the mob.
“Killed Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain”: This references the murder of Tsar Nicholas Romanov II and his family during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The lyrics specifically name Anastasia Romanov, the Tsar’s youngest daughter.
“Held a general’s rank, when the blitzkrieg raged.”: This is a reference to the German bombing of London and other areas of England during WWII. The Germans used a technique known as blitzkrieg, directly translated to “lightning war”, which was quick hard attacks to disable an enemy over a short period of time.
“I watched with glee as your Kings and Queens fought for ten decades.”: This is undoubtedly referring to the 100 Years War that raged between England and France from 1337 to 1453.
“I shouted ‘Who killed the Kennedys?’ when after all it was you and me”: This was about the assassination of 35th US President John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald.

PJ Harvey - Good Fortune
I seriously think about this music video at least once a day.
The beginning of this song makes my knees weak, why does he sing like that?
Sketch 🌀
Finished :-] 🎸 ⚡️
Omen as a Rockstar, imagine if there was a AU where he has a band? He would totally be a great guitarist.
If Omen had a band, I wonder what his band name would be called.
Soooo chamber is a singer now, and Omen on guitar ^^
For their band, Chamber has to be the singer, since he’s so flamboyant and confident, he was made to be in the front stage.
Gekko is supposed to be the drummer. I couldn’t fit Gekko into this one, but he’s gonna be playing the drums with his little creatures.
And I think Sova should be the bass player. Sova or Cypher, I can imagine them both playing bass. but also Cypher playing a synthesizer or keytar is something I can see too.
I can imagine the music they make in their band some form of rock, maybe a bit of synthpop like Depeche Mode, and pop rock like Billy idol.
me live last winter 🎶🦢🪦🗡️🎀
