![]() ![]() ![]() There’s plenty of American and Australian music and pop culture references throughout and it’s clear that Stephen Ormsby must have an extensive playlist! With plenty of unexpected turns, Long Lost Song is a story of the “end times” with a musical twist. Michael is the only one who can stop the song’s spread, but he is being framed by the enemy as the instigator of the deadly virus, and he has no idea why he is suddenly America’s Most Wanted. Soon the whole world will be infected or dead, ready for the Devil’s final showdown. Listening to the original track will kill outright, but watered-down remixes merely mind-control the listener so that the song can be spread further. Meanwhile, a terrible pandemic has struck in both the US and Australia, spread by one of Ricky Jensen’s old recordings recently uncovered and spread like a virus via the internet and radio. Ricky’s story of the 1930s is woven in and out with other stories from the present day, in which the retired rock musician Michael Decker is pulled from his quiet home in rural Victoria and convinced to travel back into the industry in the USA. The story starts with the young musician Ricky Jensen, making a deal with the Devil in exchange for musical success. Long Lost Song is a modern take on the Faustian “selling one’s soul to the Devil” story. ![]()

The creation of this new government marked the moment that the East India Company ceased to be a conventional company and became something much more unusual: an international corporation transformed into an aggressive colonial power. In August 1765, the East India Company defeated the young Mughal emperor and set up, in his place, a government run by English traders who collected taxes through means of a private army.

She turns sixteen today and I have been doing a indoor scavenger hunt for her birthday since she can remember birthdays. She now writes her own stories for enjoyment and I have to give this series some of the credit. She liked the plotting and the genre (its gothic) but most of all she loved the playful use of language. I think she read through them all three times. I have fond memories of her excitement when I used to surprise her by leaving a new volume on her bed for her to read before sleep. However she was a greater reader so you might want to start it little later.

I’m glad you asked, although part of me just wants to tell to go look up the fucking lyrics for yourself. “If you’re so smart, why don’t you tell us what you think the song is about?” The problem is that people hear the lovely melody, and the word “Hallelujah” repeated throughout, but they don’t listen to the rest of the lyrics, and don’t know what the damn song is about… and they’re playing it at weddings, at funerals, and at the Republican National Convention. ![]() ![]() The song itself, again, despite its title, is not about God or Jesus or Heaven. However, Leonard Cohen’s use of the phrase in the song is ironic. Hallelujah does indeed mean “praise God” in Hebrew. ![]() Which is why I hate it when people have it played at weddings and funerals. You might think that makes sense because of how big a role religion plays in America in general, and in the Republican Party in particular… except that Hallelujah, despite its title, is emphatically not a religious song. It has been brought to my attention that Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah was either sung or played at the Republican National Convention today. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Socks cleary![]() ![]() Little Charles William is the one getting all the attention.
