October 2nd Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine UPDATE!

Tuesday’s child is full of grace, says the nursery rhyme for children. It’s supposed to tell a child's character or future based on the day they were born. I was not born on Tuesday. There’s other missions planned for me. It’s going to be a long, mysterious, dark, adventurous, soul-stirring journey towards the enlightenment.

What the hell am I talking about here?

Well, for curiosity the 9/11 took place on Tuesday 2001. There were lots of songs that were forbidden as inappropriate. John Parr’s St. Elmo’s Fire was one of them. When I watch that video and listen to that song I just can’t avoid feeling very ill. Was there any connection really to the strike or did they just have a very good excuse to ban this song too from the airplay? It would've been too much torture for me and you if I'd brought that relic to life again. Some things are better left alone and not to remember.

Other good canditates for today's video would've been Phil Collins’s In The Air Tonight or Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit In The Sky. Maybe also Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. But no this time.

My mind is dark by the time and so is Cradle of Filth. And I happened to like this song Nymphetamine. It somehow reminds me of Kylie and Nick too.

So what is nymphetamine? “Well, slithy means lithe and slimy ... You see it's like a portmanteau — there are two meanings packed up into one word.” said e.g. Humpty-Dumpty to Alice.

The song has something to do with an addiction to woman in question, with her insidious vampyre qualities literally bringing her lover back from the brink of the spiritual grave, only to bury him further on the strength of a whim. Women.

So here’s to you my beloved Tuesday’s child – Nymphetamine.
