Try to find the irony in this

Will you find any irony in this post? I still don’t know what the real meaning is. Irony is not what Alanis Morissette sings about in ‘Ironic’. So thank you so much, Alanis. All these years I thought that’s what you’re singing about. But no, no, no. When the lyrics say “Isn’t it Ironic”, it should be “It isn’t ironic” Maybe that’s the joke in the song. Singing about irony when it’s just about bad luck. Sarcasm I can do, which is closer to irony (I looked it up) but irony itself just makes me feel dumb. Listen to lyrics in English doesn’t make me smarter either. That’s the reason I’ve never cared for song lyrics. It’s all about music.

Speaking of which. Music was my first love. I always loved music. It’s a good remedy for everything. I feel really old when I hear about new bands or singers. I don’t follow the music scene the way I used to so I’m out of the new ones. I don’t really care about them anyway. Music these days is quite awful. Some are good but most of them are crap to put it nicely. I prefer bands and singers that have been around for years. Like Duran Duran.
Now there’s a band that never gets old. Even songs they’ve released over 20 years ago, still sound like they were made yesterday. Try that with new bands these day. Will their music still sound great in, let’s say, 30 years? I very much doubt it. Duran Duran still together even. They are a good example how a band can stick together no matter what happens. They’re so popular that even MTV banned their video ‘Girl Panic!” Which is silly really because music videos are much worse than that. All they had were 2 girls kissing each other when other bands or singers videos have half-naked people in them.

Difficult to write irony things when you don’t even know what it means. Actually I know what it is but I have no idea how to write irony. I’m talentless like that. I know I can write but I don’t know how to write irony.

So did anyone find any irony in this?

Writing101: An even that was cancelled for real

I was really looking forward for this event. I’ve never been to a real concert so I decided to go. This was a band that had been a teen favorite in the 80’s. They had a lot of great hit songs. Like a lot bands out there, they had their share of problems. Band members left and were replaced with others. From 5 members to 4 and then to 3. They had released albums in 3 decades. One was more popular than others. Despite all the problems, the band didn’t stop of being. In 2000’s they were 4 members again and a new album was out. I liked them for years but became even a bigger fan in this century. When they announced they would come on tour to my country, I was so excited.

I bought a ticket and started to plan in my head how to get there, what to wear and so on. But then something happened. It was like an evil force had decided it wasn’t the time. The doctor to the band’s singer had forbidden for him to sing. He had to rest his voice or he could lose it altogether. The whole tour was in jeopardy. So all I could do was wait.

Then the day came, the concert date was postponed. The ticket master said “hold on to your ticket” and so I did. I should had seen it coming. I could have asked my money back. It was 52 euros after all. It’s easy to say it now. The whole tour was cancelled altogether.

What if that evil force would take that dream away for good. To see Duran Duran live in concert. Since I saw the video to “The Reflex” I wanted to see them. Maybe their next tour won’t reach my country. Too expensive to go abroad. Maybe my courage will fail me and I won’t dare to take that step. A step that seems difficult to me, be in big crowds. The day I decided to buy the ticket. It was a day I had decided I would get to that concert no matter what. I had never been that determined in my life. Maybe that chance will never come again. That evil force might cancel every concert and event on this planet forever. No more fun ever a again. That wouldn’t be very nice, would it?

I’m your nightmare

nightmareTune of… and there I hit a problem. I can’t rewrite songs. So I decided just to write lyrics of my own. If you can call it that. Inspirations from lyrics to ‘Lonely in your nightmare‘ by Duran Duran and ‘Welcome to my nightmare‘ by Alice Cooper. Also an inspiration of that photo I took from the cabin in the woods. I mean the cabin of the cruise ship 😉

Nightmare

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I come in at night and wait by your bedside
I watch you when you sleep

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I’m gonna take a look in your mind
I’m gonna scare your good dream away

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I find your weak spot
I haunt your mind while you sleep

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I’ll give you a dream you never forget
You’ll wake up screaming

I’m your nightmare, you let me in
And my work is done

Nightmare
