Mumford and Sons – Cave Song

It’s empty in the valley of your heart The sun, it rises slowly as you walk Away from all the fears And all the faults you’ve left behind The harvest left no food for you to eat You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see But I have seen the same I know the shame in yourContinue reading “Mumford and Sons – Cave Song”

Don’t turn around

If you want to leave I won’t beg you to stay And if you gotta go darling Maybe it’s better that way I’m gonna be strong I’m gonna do fine

We’re all creatures of habit (Maria Mena Song)

Here’s a beautiful song I found (totally by mistake in a House Remix that was 2h long)

Songmaster * Orson Scott Card Book Review

I have finally found a book from Orson Scott Card that I could not finish. He has written some amazing stories so far. I loved each and every one of them – either the fairytales or the space exploration. Even the biblical stories and I don’t do religion. Here are some of my favourites toContinue reading “Songmaster * Orson Scott Card Book Review”

Anasi Boys – Neil Gaiman Book Review

I’ve loved American Gods, didn’t think too much of Norse Mythology but I thought I’d like the “Anasi Boys” story. And I was quite surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed it! This is the story of Anasi the Spider God and of his two human boys that he fathered with a human woman. It’s a funnyContinue reading “Anasi Boys – Neil Gaiman Book Review”

Irish Love Song by Margaret Widdemer

Well, if the thing is over, better it is for me, The lad was ever a rover, loving and laughing free, Far too clever a lover not to be having still A lass in the town and a lass by the road and a lass by the farther hill — Love on the field andContinue reading “Irish Love Song by Margaret Widdemer”

Foo Fighters * The Pretender Lyrics

Sometimes you get this song stuck in your head. Earworms can be maddening—those songs that get stuck, playing over and over in your head. When we listen to a song, it triggers a part of the brain called the auditory cortex. Researchers at Dartmouth University found that when they played part of a familiar songContinue reading “Foo Fighters * The Pretender Lyrics”

Amy Shark * Adore Song :)

I’m just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm I’m just gonna walk home kicking stones at parked cars But I had a great night, ’cause you kept rubbing against my arm I’m just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm

‘Wisp of a Thing’ Alex Bledsoe’s second book on the Tufas

After reading the first novel in the Tufa series, Hum and Shiver, I wanted to know what would happen with the main protagonist – the Bronwinator – and the dark – haired people in the Appalachian Cloud County. This is a story about life in a small village and about the two main families ofContinue reading “‘Wisp of a Thing’ Alex Bledsoe’s second book on the Tufas”

The Tufa Novels * The Hum and the Shiver Book Reivew

No one knows where the Tufa came from, or how they ended up in the mountains of East Tennessee. When the first Europeans came to the Smoky Mountains, the Tufa were already there. Dark-haired and enigmatic, they live quietly in the hills and valleys of Cloud County, their origins lost to history. But there areContinue reading “The Tufa Novels * The Hum and the Shiver Book Reivew”
