Hello there inmates!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful week. Mine has felt extremely productive, which is a very freeing feeling I must say! I’ve gotten the impression that my works this week have been a tad more “hard-hitting” than average. The epitome for me was “Domestic Bliss” which, as may be clear, was derived from real life experience and anguish. I was content with how it came out though and I hope you all enjoyed it.

So, it’s time for the Harlequins writing music! Any of you who happen to follow my social media may have already guessed the theme for todays post from my clue. I hope it wasn’t too obscure. So, the theme of todays music picks is rebellion. What is rebellion? The spirit of freedom and the will to ask questions, even against authority. Criticising your own government is one area that most think of when you hear the term rebel. The determination to be yourself regardless of those cupped whispers. It can be misconstrued as childishness at times I supppose, but that tends to be from people who seek to stand on you. This rebellious spirit has sparked many artists over the years, from punks to anarchists, from anti-establishment types to followers of particular politicos. These can span genres of all kinds and there are no shortages of artists to pick from.

So, let’s see what I have come up with. Do you agree with my ‘lower than layman’ take on rebellion? Or do you think I’m being overly vague? I think I’m still getting the hang of this. So let’s see which five artists we have today eh?

Join me as we delve into the musical minds of rebellious artists the world over!

Rise Against – Hero Of War

Eric Clapton – Stand & Deliver

System Of The Down – B.Y.O.B.

And there we have it for todays edition!

So, how about those choices eh? I’m hoping they displayed some rebellious spirit for you all to enjoy. There were a few others I toyed with choosing, but maybe they’ll appear some other time. I hope you’ve enjoyed my choices and that you check any of these artists if you’re unfamiliar,they all deserve it!

So, lets have some social media spiel! If you want to see clues for my poems and weiting music themes ahead of time, consider liking/following me over there! I have an account on Facebook, an account over on Instagram and last but not least a page on Twitter. Also, if you enjoy what I do here at the asylum, please consider supporting me overĀ at the Ko-fi page! Thanks for everything!

Until next week, have a very crazy day inmates!

Good day inmates!

I hope that you’ve all had a splendid thus far. It’s seemed like a rather slow and stressful week so far and I must confess seeing a bit of a dark cloud over my head at times. With that said though, I have been persevering and I’m not going to let the grim thoughts set in. Never again.

Well, let’s lighten the mood eh? Things at the asylum are going rather swimmingly as of this week. I know it’s silly to dwell on, but I have seen view numbers rise back to what they tended to be before the “lull” of the last couple weeks. Welcome to all of our recent inmate followers too! A cause for celebration no? How about some music?

That’s a segue you see. It’s time for another edition of the Harlequins writing music! Let’s celebrate five musical artists that I’ve listened to while writing, or even taken inspiration from directly. I hope that at least one of these fuels some your own creative pursuits my friends. Artists of all types must support each other right?

So, join me as we delve into the musical minds of superb artists the world over!

And there we have it for another splash of the Harlequins writing music!

Some interesting artists there don’t you think? One of them is even an Avenger if i remember correctly. I’m kidding, it’s our very own Hawkeye! Quite a voice on him. Haha! Also, for some reason the social media of the artist CroZee seems to be suspended as of writing. I couldnt find any reasoning as to why. The music is still alive though eh? Here’s hoping that you give all of these artists a try. The jester in the attic would be most upset if you didn’t!

So, it’s time for my usual mumble about social media or something like that. The asylum has its own Facebook page, an Instagram page and a Twitter account. I tend to share random snippets of madness over there, as well as clues for my poems a few hours prior. If you enjoy what I do here at the asylum, please consider supporting me over at the Ko-fi page. Thank you for everything!

Until next week, have a very crazy day inmates!
