I heard the Florence + the Machine song “No Light, No Light” on the radio the other day. I’ve heard it many times before, but I never realized just how Thorki-esque the lyrics are. (Here’s the extraordinarily weird video, which has some oddly appropriate falling imagery…)
You are the hole in my head You are the space in my bed You are the silence in between What I thought and what I said You are the night-time fear You are the morning when it’s clear When it’s over you’ll start You’re my head, you’re my heart
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can’t choose what stays and what fades away And I’d do anything to make you stay No light, no light Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowd I was crying out and In your place there were a thousand other faces I was disappearing in plain sight Heaven help me I need to make it right
You want a revelation You want to get it right But it’s a conversation I just can’t have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation …
But would you leave me If I told you what I’ve done And would you leave me If I told you what I’ve become ‘Cause it’s so easy To say it to a crowd But it’s so hard, my love To say it to you out loud …
“Tell me again how you persuaded me into thinking that neglecting my duties as sworn king; letting you climb on to the throne and then on to me; and basically shooing away all the gathered Aesir lords, the Einherjar, and foreign dignitaries along with their banner-men so that I may feed you grapes while you read is a good idea.”
“Well, I walked in…”
“Ah, yes. The singular prologue to all my troubles.”
hey anon! no, i don’t sorry; i only post my fanworks here and i like to keep my professional life separate from my fan life, as not all clients are understanding regarding, ah, unorthodox interests. i sadly offer no prints either, because i’m situated in a country with poor printing and postal resources, and because i’m so oldschool i don’t trust digital print shops 😦
i will share this instead in the hopes that it may at least serve as a balm for the inconvenience caused by my ridiculous personal decisions. thank you for your kind message and i hope you have a great day 🙂
“You’re not going anywhere, brother.” “Indeed I am not.”
I’m a big fan of Gods Squabbling Like Children In Inappropriate Fighting Environments – I love them a lot. Also, this is the result of me trying out more angles/poses/colouring styles again!
