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 …
Recently I’ve made a striking discovery: listening to music from the nineties makes me feel good. I was both shocked and hurt this music had this effect on me. I mean, nostalgia is something old people have, right? Longing back to the 50s and 60s, the good times that will …
This week I chose the song ‘American Woman’ by Lenny Kravitz for the prompt about an American song by an American group. The only irony is that the song was originally written and performed by the Canadian band ‘The Guess Who’ in 1970. I chose this song anyway, because Lenny …
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney movies, and I mean the cartoon one, not the live-action remake. This was actually one of the few we owned on VCR (VHS here in Holland). Disney movies were always expensive, and we weren’t allowed to watch cartoons featuring a …
This week’s prompt for Song Lyric Sunday is ‘Old, New, Borrowed, Blue’. I found the perfect song which completely fit the profile: Marry Me by No Doubt. I’ve enjoyed music by No Doubt for a long time. Of course, I know their biggest hit, ‘Don’t Speak,’ but I especially appreciate …

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 …
For the first time with the Song Lyric Sunday challenge, I didn’t know where to go with the prompt ‘Elevator Music.’ Usually, I think about the prompt ahead of times and usually come up with something. So, instead of preparing this post beforehand, I waited until the actual Sunday to …
This is not a happy song for a peaceful Sunday morning. It is one of my favourite songs by Nightwish, before studying the lyrics actually. The lyrics are dark. They deal with the effects people wreak upon one another, primarily via war. One of the strongest lines for me is: …
