The Dreamboys

I was looking around the interwebs at things related to Peter Capaldi (who some of you may as the next Doctor on Doctor Who) and although I had heard about it before I finally came across some audio from his old punk band in the 80s called The Dreamboys. Capaldi did lead vocals and Craig Ferguson was on drums. Peter Capaldi shows embarrassment when talking about it in interviews but I think it is kind of cool the new Doctor was in a punk band! Here are some of their songs:

 

 

All Was Golden in the Sky

All was golden when the day met the night

I was thinking about dualities and this song came to mind. It is about the personifications of the Sun and the Moon meeting and the moon falling in love with the sun. It is from Panic! at the Disco's second album Pretty. Odd. which is my personal favorite from them even though most prefer the cabaret feel of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (which is also amazing). I feel like a lot of the dualities we are making conflict with each other but with this even though it is day and night I love how they join together. So lovely.

Ryan Ross is definitely my favorite lyricist, this song isn't the best example to show Ryan's amazing writing (I wanted to let you know I wrote ryting at first). Some of his lyrics has had a deep influence on me which is I think what makes great music. One of my favorites from Northern Downpour being "I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches call it home". A lot of my digital drawings of lyrics (not 365 failure) come from Ryan Ross' brain. If I was anxiously counting the hours of sleep I can get before school I would go deeper into this but I will save that for another time.

To See With Love

It is getting late and I want to go into the myth chapter in more detail so I will blog about that in the near future.

The other video we saw today was

I have not seen this particular commercial but I have heard of this being done before (but I am not sure if it was done by Dove). I really like this. I really like this because a part of me wants to believe that I am not seen by others the same way I see myself. I think a lot of us think that way. Part of this is really sad because it shows how so many of us look at ourselves in such a more negative and more critical light. But on that same note it is somewhat hopeful because those people were viewed far more beautiful than they thought.

This reminds me of the quote.

“Closed his mouth. Then pressed a kiss on Oskar's lips. For a few seconds Oskar saw through Eli's eyes. And what he saw was... himself. Only much better, more handsome, stronger than what he thought of himself. Seen with love.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In

 This is from the book Let the Right One In, some of you may have seen the movie (hopefully the original version). I read the book I think... in my sophomore year? Maybe? And I remember this quote specifically. Probably the only quote I distinctly remember from the book. Definitely my favorite quote. Oskar was bullied a lot and did not think of himself as well as Eli did and because Eli's powers Oskar got to see himself for once in that view. If you haven't seen the movie I recommend you do and if you have any interest in reading it (it is a bit different) I do have the book if you want to read it.


I hope you too can see yourself with love one day.
