As far as I see it, my birthdays now are just an excuse to eat my favourite pizza and buy myself a spooky Colin The Caterpillar cake 🤤
That being said, I did treat myself to something big to look forward to next summer 🤘🏻

Day 28 - Mafia
This might seem an odd choice but, actually, if you know this adaptation, it makes total sense…
O Verona - Craig Armstrong (from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet): youtu.be/5dPW7KFB3xQ?...
Here’s the prologue just to make it even clearer: youtu.be/beV56hp4T3w?...

(Again, a slightly late) Day 27 - Death
Some days, I just have to match the prompt perfectly… and this is one of those days 😅
Death - Melanie Martinez: youtu.be/6LWqJTj7jyQ?...

Catching up, so here’s a 2 in 1 of 2 very different, but dark, vibes…

I Can’t Decide - Scissor Sisters: youtu.be/0HrruXyo04g?...
Day 26 - Who?
John Wayne Gacy - Skynd: youtu.be/_RVlCFEsUU4?...

Day 24 - Disappear
I’m currently almost halfway through the biggest gap between gigs I’ve had this year, but I have a feeling the Mayhem Ball will be worth the 4-and-a-half-month-or-so wait 😍
Vanish Into You - Lady Gaga: youtu.be/AeKd-SVxh74?...

Day 23 - Guilt
Guilt can manifest itself in all sorts of ways, including one of the greatest Disney villain songs of all time…
Hellfire - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (sang by Tony Jay): youtu.be/gqGL9B_TPTI?...

Day 22 - Hunch
A song about death and blame… what’s not to love?!

Day 21 - Bones 🦴
“Bet it feels pretty real when your skin starts to peel from the bone”
A shortened title as, as you can see from the link, it’s rather a long one. SUCH a gorgeous song though 😍
Butterflies - Bring Me The Horizon ft. Amy Lee: youtu.be/EK5P9Xc8cFM?...

Day 20 - Witness
“God be my witness
I never shall yield”
Quite possibly my favourite song from this legendary musical, don’t think it really needs more of an introduction than that…
Stars - Roger Allam (Les Miserables London 1985 cast recording): youtu.be/zowbTmH3Q8s?...

Day 19 - Victim
Another slightly more fun take on the prompt, and a song that, when done well, makes a really, really great cabaret performance.
The Dismemberment Song - Blue Kid: youtu.be/qOb-Ha7UaEw?...

(Slightly late) Day 18 - Investigate
I wasn’t raised on metal, which I wonder is part of the reason why this band has never really struck a chord with me. I do, of course, still enjoy a few of their songs, including this one ☺️
Seek and Destroy - Metallica: youtu.be/FLTchCiC0T0?...

A song paying homage to a great screen vigilante, this was one of those prompts where I immediately knew the song I was going to choose ☺️🐦⬛

Day 16 - Police
They say, "Come with your arms raised high"
As well as Linkin Park, this is a band I feel like I really, REALLY should have seen live by now…

Day 15 - Fingerprint
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, what a debut album One Of The Boys was. This song gives major Avril Lavigne/Paramore vibes, which is never a bad thing in my eyes 😍
Fingerprints - Katy Perry: youtu.be/LFxZyDtmRi8?...

Day 13 - Thief
I could have used the song that this song is so brilliantly parodying for today’s prompt too, but I couldn’t resist sharing such a gem of UK children’s television 😅

This one’s pretty self-explanatory, so I’m going to use this space to profess my love for this band and how very much I am looking forward to seeing them live again in November 🤘🏻🖤

Day 10 - Clue
(A little late, yes, but what’s new?!)
“Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before”
I think I might be one of the few who doesn’t associate this song with tragic things happening in TV shows…

Day 9 - Evidence
“Am I no good? Am I no good?
With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence”
A gruesome conclusion to one of my favourite concept albums - hoping a resale comes up for one of her October gigs 🤞🏻
Strangers - Ethel Cain: youtu.be/kOR4eGcPpRM?...

I remember seeing and hearing the awful news about Sophie Lancaster in 2007. This tribute to her reminds me that there’s a whole bunch of us weirdos still out there 🤘🏻🖤

Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom"

Inspired by a real-life case, the singer wanted to write a positive song about how the captive woman had finally found her freedom.
