Day 15: A song about things ending.

Generally speaking, I try to veer away from morose songs. Life IS so fucking depressing without our entertainment doing the same thing. But there's a sweetness in this, even if it is fucking sad.

This is my last prompt, and thank you for putting up with me.

It's not a 'good' song and not a 'good' book but the combo spurred me to a year of exponential growth.
Figure you out - Voila
When she purrs - Ruby Dixon
Typing that out and hitting post is proof of how much my 42nd cycle around the sun has changed me for the better. The answer to life, the universe, and everything.. as I needed it to be.

Side note: To me the song is about wanting to and choosing to understand someone.. not about jealousy
Thank you for the inspirational prompts

Holy glitch in the matrix, Batman! I heard this song on the radio yesterday and thought, "This would be perfect for a book-related song prompt." Lo and behold!
'Twas in the depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair / But Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her
"Ramble On" - Led Zeppelin

Day 16: A song that reminds you of a book

Going to take a page out of the rule book and post a graphic novel instead!

1982: When the Wild Wind Blows is a satirical and critical take on Britain's lacking preparations for nuclear war. In the novel we follow Hilda and Jim as they try to survive an imminent nuclear strike, but their shelter is woefully lacking. We get to see their daily life, how it's turned upside down by the war, and the aftermath of the attack.

It's grim, gritty, horrific, and sobering. Cannot recommend it enough.

2010: When the Wild Wind Blows is based on the novel of the same name, but it takes a wild turn in the final act. Hilda and Jim are convinced that the war is coming, and have been preparing well and good. As news of the attack comes in they take refuge in their shelter, ready to weather the storm. But it never comes. The broadcast changes, telling them the readings were wrong; there was never an attack, it was just an earthquake.
But Hilda and Jim know better. The TV is lying to them. Of course it's an attack! Why else would they have been preparing? No, they'll stick to their guns. But as the dust settles, they don't want to deal with the aftermath their imaginations have thought up.

So they sip their poison. They die as they lived, together. And completely inconsequential.

can't believe all the lying
all the screens are denying
that the Moment of Truth has begun

Iron Maiden - When the Wild Wind Blows

Thank you for your guest appearance @UnquietDreams! You did great Went a little overboard on this final prompt, in your honor! And to @SalaciousMonkey22's great chagrin

This one was tough because most songs don't remind me of books.
This song does trigger me to think about both the movie, and then book though.

One through the other.
It was one of the first 2 or 3 great books I read as a kid.

A song that reminds me of a book.

This song was inspired by a book. Lemmy read Bomber by Len Deighton and he wrote about the story.

Motörhead- Bomber

This band is very underrated. Perfect 70/80s power pop.
