I've recently (in the past two weeks) acquired a musical addiction, I suppose since Anthony is listening to my other songs. Right now I've got "Wicked Game" in repeat mode on my IPOD. I wish I could send it to Anthony because I know he would get the message, but his attitude is "It's not my fault if people fall in love with me" so I'm not sure it would do much good:

(Words by Chris Issak/music by HIM)

Listen here: http://vampirefreaks.com/u/him

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

Nobody loves no one

Doomsday Refreshment Committee (that name makes me laugh for some reason) FINALLY produced an album. Although their lyrics are explicit (why is sex the sole topic of today's music? I miss the early 80's when bands like The Cure and The Smiths explored existentialism and love) their sound is unique - haunting piano overtop industrial guitars and a steady beat.

I'm also intrigued by Bella Morte. Haven't decided which tunes to download yet. There are some awesomely named but horrible bands out there: Theatre of Tragedy, Theatre du Vampires - don't waste your time. Bleh.

    I feel shallow in music tastes. Carrie Underwood's Wasted is current favorite to mood to. By the by-since I'm here--haven't a clue on the dream -- mine are USUALLY Air Force/High School or lady related--always in an unsatisfactory manner--for instance right city, wrong house or right base--wrong duty assignment.

    Oh snap, I love that song, but Issak has so many good songs. I love the song "Baby did a bad, bad thing". I don't know why, but wicked game is all about the I in I don't wanna fall in love. His voice soaring still lets you know he's caving in een while you listen to the words. thanks for sharing that song Countess

    I also love this song, Countess. I have a bunch of tunes that I have lined up and my next one to this is Running Blind by Godsmack... both of these tunes make me feel the same way, actually. And just betwixt the two of us, I really wish that Anthony would open his eyes. Take care, Kizzo

    Music is absolutely amazing no matter what your tastes. It does a lot for everyone.

    Rich, Carrie Underwood? Go back to Frank and Nancy - LOL! Sounds like you are experiencing frustration in some area of your life (subject of your dreams). Might want to look into it. I think the car graveyard of my dream represents spiritual death (whether that is on earth or in Hell I don't know.), which places me right outside of Hell, or in Purgutorio with the Greek scholars. My friend keeps returning to the same death looking for answers that he'll never find, and seeing that I love him I'm willing to cross the river Styx in hope of rescuing my beloved. The teacher (Anthony's former love) was a mentor to him and very wise, and there is a connection there between us, through Anthony and through our shared artistry/artistic vision. I'll spare you more detail............B-Mental, I agree; it's clear he's already fallen in love and is merely expressing his desire to not be in love. Let's face it: "I don't want to be in love with you" doesn't sound as good as "I don't want to fall in love with you". Falling is a better word, anyhow...............KIZ, I've got all Godsmack's albums except IV and the acoustic. I look a listen to that song (acoustic, right?) not bad, but I love their song "Vampires" best. I also wish Anthony would open up his eyes, but he was dropped on his head as a baby (no, not joking - it was an accident) so he seems to take longer to learn life's little lessons. Maybe he'll need to be used for his money, or his good looks, or whatever else, and maybe he'll need to be mistreated, abused, etc before he'll wake up and remember it wasn't that way with me. I know this much: no woman (other than his mother) will ever love him as much as I do. I know, because my love for him is patient, kind, without envy or pride, gracious, selfless, with little anger and continous forgiveness. And I have, to this day at least, protected him, trusted him, hoped for him and persevered in loving him. He makes me beautiful inside, which only makes me love him more.
