Something apparently seen but having no physical reality

Post by Phantasm »

That'll be me then. :)

Hi from sunny Scotland. Glad to be here with some fellow Donaldson fans.


Just a quick question to start off with - Does anyone else associate certain music with any of the Donaldson books, or is it just me.

When I was reading the Second Chronicles, I was listening to Survivors "Eye of the tiger" album. Every time I hear a song from the album on the radio, my mind jumps to Covenant.
Strange.

For whatever reason, this one always brings Covenant in the First Chrons to mind:
Bullet With Butterfly Wings
By the Smashing Pumpkins


the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

even though i know, i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want a change
and what have you got, when you feel the same

even though i know, i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son, yeah
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you

despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son for you

and i still believe that i cannot be saved
and i still believe that i cannot be saved
and i still believe that i cannot be saved
and i still believe that i cannot be saved
Love as thou wilt.

I associate Madonna's Like a Prayer album with the First Chronicles, and Natalie Imbruglia's Left of the Middle with the Second Chronicles.
