A Writer's Journey

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Music Monday: Linkin Park - New Divide

I've seriously been lagging at this whole keeping up the blog thing, so I thought what could be better than having a themed post three times a week? *lightbulb* Starting off this week will be Music Monday and the first song I've picked is one near and dear to my heart.

This has literally been one of the songs playing on loop in my iPod because it so perfectly describes the mood I want to set within the current WIP I'm working on.

Linkin Park - New Divide



Lyrics

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss, in every lie
In every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide


What are some of your favorite songs to write to and why?

    I don't have favorite songs to write to, I go all over. Like right now, I'm on a Metallica kick, but that could change at any time to Muse, Phoenix or a million others.

    @Andrew My playlist is kinda wonky like that, too! LOL I can go from old school Linkin to Rascal Flatts. And I mustn't forget Celine Dion. *shifty eyes*

    @Lori *sighs* I think we do. You see what happens when there's no fire lit under me? I fizzle. *sad face* On another note, trying to get to chapter 12 this week. *crosses fingers*
