Tuesday's Tunes....Blackpool's Jekyll release a heart wrenching new single " Tear Our Selves In Two "

-


 Blackpool's Jekyll has released a new single titled Tear Ourselves In Two. The new song is a bit different from what we have heard in the past from Jekyll, and to be honest, I think it is probably one of their best. I love the chill bump-inducing emotion that flows from lead man Joel Foster's vocals, and the haunting tone of the instrumentation that backs him up.




Here is what Foster had to say about the new single:

"'Tear Ourselves...' initially started out as quite an ambient and cinematic instrumental with no chorus and stayed that way for quite a while. It wasn’t until we got the chorus down that it finally made sense and became the lilting ballad that it is now. Lyrically and musically, it was first conceived as a sort of answer to one of our older songs, 'Mania', and was going to be a sort of somber/sober reflection on the chaos of 'Mania' (a calm after the storm) as if you’ve just woken up from a particularly vivid nightmare.

"Over time, this concept shifted slightly and the sentiment of the song became more about being grateful for having someone with you to help you find your way out of the nightmare and not letting life’s darker moments get between you both. The recording for this song was done during the brief lifting of pandemic restrictions last summer and we’ve been dying to release it ever since. This is our first release since the pandemic started, so it also felt very appropriate to be releasing a song about unity and resilience in the face of adversity."

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by  Kathryn at   The Book Date It has been since October that I have had any fun with all the weekly things I do here on the blog and I am so glad I am back! So let's get right into what I am reading! NIGHT SHIFT BY ALEX FINLAY I really enjoyed Alex Finlay's previous book Every Last Fear, so when I saw Night Shift on Net Galley I knew I would want to read it. I am reading this on my kindle so I am a bit slower at finishing it due to mostly reading it at night when I do not want to bother my husband with lights being on...I mean I have to be nice, he gets up early to go to work. He tells me it doesn't bother him, but I feel like it is a nice thing to do! Here is the summary: It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end...

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at  Wishful Endings  and gives us a chance to highlight books we are patiently waiting to fill up our TBRs with. I love spooky season, not all the pumpkin spice items they now have that stock the grocery shelves, but the creepy books I can snuggle up with wearing a comfy sweater. Who am I kidding...it is still too warm here to wear a sweater in October. Despite the sweltering 100 degrees weather here on the Oklahoma prairie, I am thinking about all the creepy and thrilling books I can stack my TBR list with, and Summer Sons is really close to the top of my list! SUMMER SONS BY LEE MANDELO Hardcover ,  384 pages Expected publication: September 28th, 2021 by Tordotcom Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide....

Sunday Salon: Diningroom is finished!

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz  I was born into the military, both my parents were in, my entire life was spent on military bases around the world, I married into it, and I also raised a boy who grew up to be a military man, so first and foremost I would like to pay a small remembrance to the 13 servicemen and women who lost their lived this past week in Kabul and also the families left behind. It saddens me that these young men and women lost their lives at such a young age. --------------------------------------- We finally finished our dining room. It actually went so much easier than most of the rooms we have done! I know I said I was unsure about the blue, it seemed too bright, but once everything was put back in I loved it. When living in a 100-year-old house there is always the next project, so on to the Butlers pantry which is between the dining room and kitchen. We have ordered wallpaper for it and it will not arrive until September 9th so we have a b...
