Music Monday: Devil Don’t Cry by King 810
So, I couldn’t resist joining in with this meme that Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek started. Simply you pick a song on a Monday and share it! Whoop!
As I’ve just spent the past three days at Bloodstock Festival. What! you missed me nattering about it on social media? I decided to share a song by the band who surprised me the most.
I bought King 810’s debut album when it was first released, it took about ten plays to grow on me, I wasn’t a huge fan, but listen to it semi-regularly now that I’ve learned to love the music. For their set I was right at the front, bar a few tall dudes, there are always tall dudes when you are short!
This band blew me away, from the second they walked on the stage to the second their set was done. Totally outstanding and I’m looking at their music with fresh ears.
This is Devil Don’t Cry which is a stunning song, and one of their less offensive songs!
So I’m sitting here with ghosts again some are women mostly men
Telling me of times they have had
And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground
How and where I’m gonna lay myself down and still die at 27 like we planned
Then she saw the look in my eyes
And began to sing a song I won’t describe
“In another life we’ll be king and queen you and I”
Then she told me devil don’t cry
Devil don’t cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “god needs an enemy and I need a guy”
And she told me devil don’t cry
At least not tonight
So I’m sitting alone again
All my friends are with their friends
Thinking of times I have had
And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground
How and where I’m gonna lay myself down and I find a knife in my hand
Then she saw the look in my eyes
And began to sing a song I won’t describe
“In another life we’ll be king and queen you and I”
Then she told me devil don’t cry
The Devil don’t cry don’t cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “god needs an enemy and I need a guy”
And she told me devil don’t cry
The devil don’t cry don’t cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “god needs an enemy and I need a guy” and she told me the devil don’t cry at least not tonight
Tonite let’s not pretend a thing
This earth and it’s creatures are the ugliest we’ve seen
And the human machine cannot contain this love So we die let’s just meet at our place up above.
Wow, his voice is captivating. I can’t put my finger on it, but almost like Geoff Tate from Queensrÿche or something. Great share. I’m jumping on this meme now… ❤

Yay, my meme.😀
Cool song, I’d only heard one of theirs before, the one that Scuzz/Kerrang play and it was OK but this one is good.

I doubt that! It’s not even huge on my blog, 35 likes is all its got, shameful! Oh well, it’s not book related on a book blog, obviously some will moan!😂
I like it though.👌 I’m a music fan, it’s cool and simple and I can listen to music while drafting and scheduling the posts.👌
