November has tied me to an old dead tree
Get word to April to rescue me
November's cold chain made of wet-boots and rain
And shiny black ravens on chimney smoke lanes
November seems odd, you're my firing squad

The Cure Live :: Songs Of A Lost World
First listen, new Cure album is up there as one of their best. No one does uplifting and grand melancholy like them. I has all the feels.
It's Cure Day! Time to hear the new album. But first, for the day that's in it
Irons and Wine gig tonight, been easily a decade since he played Ireland. Iβm excited!
MEPs in the EU Parliament greeted Hungarian prime minister, Viktor OrbΓ‘n, with a rowdy rendition of the classic anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao.
One fine morning I woke up early
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao
One fine morning I woke up early
Find the fascist at my door
My favourite version...

another 2 months until I get to see Nick Cave live for the first time since the 90s. I'm excited.
Going through the albums in order between now and then. First track of first album - Leonard Cohens Avalanche. As a teen I loved Leonard then heard this and it blew me away. The tortured angst and darkness called to me lol
