When Love And Death Embrace – H.I.M. [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: February 5th, 2010

This is a pure mood song; it is deep, and dark. It seems to be all about mortality, and the death of self. There is a deep longing to be united, and the knowledge that it is death to do so. Sadness, and resolve; deep scars of truth. Listen to it with a shot of Single-Malt, and a book of poetry. -Ezra [...]

Cloud On My Tongue – Tori Amos [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 8th, 2010

Full of the disjointed lyrics that Tori Amos does so well; the song 'Cloud On My Tongue' ranges from one picture reference to the next, and leaves behind a trail of imagery that is at once distracting, and cohesive. It beings with it, a longing to be elsewhere, to have the ‘Borneo’ that is warm and comforting, yet the current world is [...]

While Your Lips Are Still Red – Nightwish [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 5th, 2010

I think that this song is above all; an admonition to take those little chances that we all miss; to plunge in right now. Don’t wait, don’t hesitate. just dive in for all you are worth, and see what comes of it. From the analogy that the song gives; of two lovers taking the moment in hand to kiss before the world sweeps [...]

Deliver Me – Sarah Brightman [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 4th, 2010

First: Sarah Brightman has one of the most beautiful voices one can imagine. She has made her vocal powers well known, and there is little doubt that she deserves this place on my list. I love this song, how the mood and lyrics bring the hope and delight out of the air, and I listen to this song often, and it never fails to move me. [...]

Sleeping Sun – Nightwish [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 4th, 2010

She wants the night to come, and for the darkness to enclose about her like a shroud. For the soft caresses of the midnight breezes. How she longs for the beauty of the evening, and the soft ocean calm. Is this a lament for the passing day, or of a dying life? Perhaps she is longing for the death of the [...]

Come What May – Moulin Rouge Soundtrack [Song Review & Lyrics]

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: January 3rd, 2010

This song has a very special place in my heart; as my wife Ami and I used it in our wedding. It comes from the delightful, and witty film: Moulin Rouge. This is the only 'original' song in the movie, and in my opinion, it is simply the best. Ewan Mcgregor, and Nicole Kidman show their vocal talents on [...]

Into The Wild – John Krakaur

Author : Ezra Hilyer Published: December 29th, 2009

Into The Wild, by John Krakauer was a short read, it doesn't take a lot of room on the shelf, but there are treasures within that belay it's small size. A friend recommended the book to me about 4 years ago, and gave me a short synopsis of the story. I remember it well, because I had just finished reading: 'Between A Rock And A Hard Place' by [...]

Moleskine Tabs Buy A Squared Moleskine On Amazon! I am slightly OCD; so when I get a new Large Squared Moleskine, do you think I leave it alone?? Nope. I have a system.
