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! ;)

Flutters and Tingles

I am sitting here, all tingly and fluttery. Not because of Mr Darcy this time, or a vampire or any other fictional character. But because I've listened to HIM, the Finnish "love metal band" with singer Ville Valo. I just love his voice. And his not that bad to look at either.

At Valentines day 2008 (before I was a responsible adult, married and mother... :P), I was at their concert at Nalen here in Sweden. A friend of mine is friends with the drum roadie. How cool is that? :P Anyways, she wanted to go, but not alone and we got in for free. Great to be on the guestlist. I didn't mind, I mean I liked their music. Let's just say I fell in love, and leave it at that shall we?

Now, every time I hear any of their songs I get flutters in my stomach, a goofy smile on my face. Today I watch one of my fanvideos I have made with their song In Joy and Sorrow for Atonement, and my body is now a complete mess. I think I have a thing for "dangerous" men. I have always been attracted to men that uses eyeliner... Funny, right? Especially since I love Mr Darcy too. The heart works in mysterious ways...
