Now, I bet you're wondering, why House of Cards? Isn't that a bit odd for a school related blog?
Well, I shall explain myself! House of Cards is a wonderful song by the Scorpions, from their album Return to Forever. It's a kind of ballad, slow moving and not the band's usual sound. But the whole song speaks of a person's struggle in life.
With lyrics like these, it's kind of hard to not become emotional:
"Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter
In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies...
A half-moon away, way too close to heaven
She had the look, but no morality
Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment
But there are nights you regret eternally..."
This is a completely relate-able song. It describes, in an emotional way, how horribly crushing our circumstances might become. And, when I think about it, this can totally be connected with my class, Human Condition in Literature! It speaks of what a human, man or woman, ends up going through at one point or another of their lives.
But, enough about the title.
In this blog, I shall be posting assignments given to me by my English Professor, Cynthia S. Pittmann.
Thank you for reading~!
Here's the song for any that may want to hear it:
Hey Irene! How ironic! The name of my favorite show is House of Cards, the Netflix original series about a corrupt and ambitious politician of the United States. It is great, you should watch it. Also, I listened to your song and I really liked it. One can definitely relate to those lyrics.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were a fan of the series that Antonio mentioned. It is so true, human kind is so complex. Everyone is going to endure some things that may be good or bad. The song is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIrene, I love your theme and how everything has a reason to be. The cards, the colors, it's almost like poetry, where many symbols and subliminal messages are related to the human condition. I'm sure you will do an outstanding job with all your blog entries!
ReplyDeleteI like how you related this song to our English Literature class in such a great way! Making it your theme was such a creative thing to do. By the way, the lyrics of the song are touching and a little melancholic, but they definately relate to human life as we know it.
