It's Saturday, and that can sometimes mean that Musical Inspiration crops up, and this week's is a powerful delivery from Guns N' Roses guitarist, Slash, and Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale.
I chose this song because on Wednesday, I lost a character that echoes a lot of the meaning. Cameron, like the warrior in the song, had lost everything, and was to slowly come around to realizing that all that was lost can be reclaimed. The portrayal of both my character and the subject of By the Sword, neither one were or are very hopeful, but shows that there's always a glimmer.
Enjoy the song. I do.
Slash - "By the Sword"
With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside,
Comes a time you need to leave all that behind,
Well they claim they'd like to know,
And they'll fight you there to go,
And they're gatherin' around for all the show,
Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!
They're releasing all the hounds,
What is lost can still be found,
When you're walking with your fear down on the ground,
Well there's those who choose to run
Following the setting sun,
And now it seems the journey's has begun,
Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!
With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside,
there's a time you need to leave it all behind,
Well there is no reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!
*As always, I don't own this, blah blah blah.
On a final note, Blogger tells me this is my 300th post! That's kinda neat.
