Like last week, I had no idea what I was going to post for this week’s challenge. I have searched online for hours, but couldn’t find anything I liked. And then, as I was lying in bed this morning, the answer came to me. The lyrics literally are ‘nicht mehr …
This week’s challenge was to compare two songs in whatever way you thought them to be similar. I’m gonna cheat a bit and take an actual cover to a song. This may sound like a cheap way out but bear with me. Prometheus The song I want to discuss is …
“What would constitute a perfect day for you?” I liked this prompt because it’s something I actually never really thought about, at least not for a long time. It’s funny how such an innocent question requires more brainpower than a deeply philosophical one. What would I really want? Let’s start …
