Fair warning – no gamebook related content here.
Just got home from a reunion gig of one of my favourite local (as in Melbourne, Australia) bands, being The Earthmen.
Their shimmering, melancholy take on the ‘Britpop’ genre has always impressed. For my favourite one of their heartbreaking songs, check this out :
That line “When love walks in / do you feel cold…?” has haunted me for (literally) decades.
On that note, since several (alright, 2) of my readers have asked about my non-gamebook writing, here’s a piece from my younger days. I attempted to capture the mixed emotions of losing someone romantically, and being torn as to whether that was a development that would benefit you or not.
A Loss in Several Parts
I embrace the fading mist
As this vision slips away
To love is past this time
A wistful smile the only hope
Can redeemer save me now
From a gaping hole of hate
In a web of bitter lust
See your fury keep you sane
I’m these pieces of your past
A fragment of your soul
To remember summons pain
In a note too harsh by far
What lurked behind those eyes
That gleamed with light of hope
Was truth a foreign tongue
To those words that drew me in
The heart will lie so clean
In an all too eager world
Hearing your voice echo through dark
With words no longer pure.
Yes, I listened to a lot of The Cure and Tori Amos, why do you ask?
