Still In Tiers

I am still reading World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer and feel as though it will never end, but have less than a hundred pages to go in the first volume. I will finish it but not sure if I will start the second volume immediately.

I've actually done a few posts on here this month so this blog is not dead.

I recently found out that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not others. C'est La Vie.

The music is Ren's take on the Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" which a lot of people do not realise uses Andrew Loog Oldham's orchestral take on The Rolling Stones' "The Last Time". If you don't know of Ren you really have to check him out. He's on Youtube here

Agadont

 My friend Lee Sei-Macfhearchair used AI to reimagine an eighties chart-topper in a Goth style using Chatgpt 4, and this is what came out.

(Verse 1)

In the shadows, dark and deep, where the twisted branches creep,

Whispers echo, secrets weep, the moonlit forest's mystery,

Pineapples and coffee ground, beneath the earth, their spirits bound,

Dance with me, our souls entwined, in this nocturnal symphony.

(Chorus)

Agadoo doo doo, pluck the darkness, stir the storm,

Agadoo doo doo, blend the shadows, hearts transform,

To the left, to the right, rise above and take your flight,

Join the dance of endless night, chant the gothic hula's might.

(Verse 2)

Through the mist and ancient trees, feel the breath of ghostly breeze,

Mournful cries and melodies, the spirits of the past arise,

Candles flicker, casting spells, where the raven's omen dwells,

In the twilight, hand in hand, we dance as one with haunted eyes.

(Chorus)

Agadoo doo doo, pluck the darkness, stir the storm,

Agadoo doo doo, blend the shadows, hearts transform,

To the left, to the right, rise above and take your flight,

Join the dance of endless night, chant the gothic hula's might.

(Bridge)

In the distance, church bells toll, the haunting echoes of lost souls,

Our love immortal, darkness calls, we're bound together, evermore,

As the moon descends, we sway, shadows dance and spirits play,

In the realm of endless night, we are the keepers of the lore.

(Chorus)

Agadoo doo doo, pluck the darkness, stir the storm,

Agadoo doo doo, blend the shadows, hearts transform,

To the left, to the right, rise above and take your flight,

Join the dance of endless night, chant the gothic hula's might.

(Outro)

Agadoo, our hearts aflame, in this realm we shall remain,

Dancing through eternity, the gothic hula calls our name.

The music is "To The Devil" by Dead Eyes Opened which is available as a free download on their Bandcamp page. I'll leave you to work out the song.

A March Post

I renewed the URL on this for another two years, but find it really weird that when I write a post it gets about twenty reads, although the blog can have anything from 2 to a thousand reads in a day. I still don't know how it works.

I have now sold 86 books so hoping to hit a hundred one day.

I am now not really writing much on this blog and thought this month I might not post at all, but I have done and this is it.

I am still reading World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer and feel as though it will never end, but have a hundred pages to go in the first volume.

I recently found out that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not others. C'est La Vie.

The music is a visual representation of  "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis
