When I found that this song contains one of this week’s prompt words, namely ‘violence,’ I knew this had to be the one. It was featured on the album ‘Design Your Universe’ by Epica, my favourite album by this band. I find it remarkable that this song was released in …
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 …
The song ‘De Stad Amsterdam’ is one of my all-time favourites, ever since I heard it performed live in the early 2000s by this group, in Amsterdam actually. There are many reasons why I love it. I love the cadence and rhythm of the song, how it increases in speed …

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: …
Okay, this is the part where I begin with a deeply emotional story on how much the song has meant in my life. Truth is, until yesterday, I had never heard of this song. I was a bit lost on what to post this week, but I didn’t want to …
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.” ― Dalai Lama XIV If there’s something I’m good at, it’s worrying. Ruminating over what …
There was only one option for a song about a girl’s name with an S: Salome by the German band Saltatio Mortis. It’s one of my favourite songs by this band. When I first encountered them at a festival, they would perform this song, and I loved it from the …
