Favourite of the Week

This week I'm giving you one of my, recently discovered, favourite songs. I've probably heard it a million times before, but since my new found fascination with vampires, it just speaks to me! ;)

Vampire Heart by HIM

So, I had actually thought of making a Twilight-fanvid with this song, but a visit to YT showed me that there are a million already. Perhaps I will resolve to write something instead.

The lyrics are marvelous too:
You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song
All faith is lust for hell regained
And love dust in the hands of shame
just be brave

Let me bleed you this song
Of my heart deformed
And lead you along this path in the dark
Where I belong
Until I feel your warmth

Hold me like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

I'll be the thorns on every rose
You've been sent by hope
I am the nightmare waking you up
From the dream of a dream of love

Let me weep you this poem
As Heaven's gates close
And paint you my soul,
Scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home

Hold me like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and emtombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

Nothing more needs to be said. I love it, I adore it, I want my own vampire. Give him to me! ;)

New Moon - The Movie

So, I finally went to see New Moon, the movie, on Tuesday. After seeing the trailer I must say that my expextations were pretty low. And perhaps because of that I didn't think it sucked. But I have to say I think the acting was pretty bad. The only time when Robert Pattinson actually looked "alive" was at the very end when he told Bella his condition for turning her himself. There's this teasing smile and twinkle in his eyes that makes me see why people thinks he is so attractive. Otherwise, he was kind of flat. Kristen Stewart too. I don't really like how she portraits Bella. She makes her more helpess than she actually is.But I do like Taylor Lautner's Jacob. He seems so genuine.

There is now way you can even begin to compare the novel with the movie. So much is lost. Sure, I think New Moon is better than Twilight, but that's mainly because it's more action in New Moon. And then there is the problem with not liking the actors. ;) Therein lies the problem with liking a book so much. The expectations are so high and you want the movie to be as you have pictured it in your head. But I have found that it's better to have no expectations and be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed.

The soundtrack, however, is great! Check it out! :)
