What's he like? It's not important. Particle man.

Day 01 ♥ Your favourite song

I'm one of those people who loves a lot of music and listens to various songs obsessively at various points. That said, rather than be obnoxious and dump a bajillion songs on you, here's one that persists in being a favorite for me:

Turkish Song Of The Damned - The Pogues

A lot of the imagery is really fabulous ('the captain's corpse jumped up and threw his arms around my neck'; 'this shadow hanging over me is no trick of the light'; even 'I come, old friend, from hell tonight across the rotting sea'; um, I love you, Shane) and very evocative and it's just a fantastically creepy story.

Also, this song has stories related to it that are fabulous. The two best quotes:

When asked about the backstory for this song, Jem Finer described the situation thusly: "On an early visit to Germany a fan asked Shane if he liked The Turkish song of the Damned ... referring to a song by the Damned. Thank you, German fan, for a wonderful title."

Also, Shane was asked in an interview what the song is about:
"It's about a guy on a Turkish island who deserted a sinking ship with all the money and all his mates went down. I'm not totally sure about this - he's haunted and he's dancing around with all this Turkish music playing endlessly in his brain - NYEAHH NYE NEE NEE HYEAHH NYEAHHH NIN NIN NYIN NEAHH... He just spends his time, haunted - dancing, drinking and fucking. Then his best mate comes back, and all the crew, to drag him down to hell or wherever they are. The thing is, he knew it was going to happen. So he's been waiting. Haunted, it's definitely about being haunted."
A metaphor for yourself?
"Fuck that. I don't live on a Turkish island. I'm not haunted either."

Also I just kind of love it a lot.

I REFUSE to spoil myself for who. Plus, spoilers only lead to high expectations and/or heartbreak, and I'm headed for the second one already, so no need to add to my own personal angst lol

I will take your word re: loving Karen - b/c YEAH, OBVIOUSLY.

I salute your willpower! These particular photos are very spoilery, so not clicking is probably a good choice.

I, on the other hand, have no willpower and am as such a spoiler whore, lol.

Her expressions are the best. :D
