#screamworks: love in theory and practice

[flameunquenched]

Like the couple from Pompeii Our drama is put on display Along with a dove stuffed In a coffin of glass entitled "Love, lust, and the Holy Ghost"

[r3bdoomer00]

my his infernal majesty CD collection!!

not done at all, i plan to get a few records when i can. then the compilations— Venus doom, screamworks: love in theory and practice, alongside tears on tape.

also plan on getting the HER release of razor blade romance, considering i like the tracklist a bit more than the regular HIM release. can’t explain it— just like it a little more :3

[cristoreysol]

Empezamos el día con MAS AITANA y MAS TINI [de la que he hablado por ser ex_novia de RODRIGO DE PAUL y volver este ABRIL] ..ambas Ex_novias de Sebastián YATRA [que debuto con cd FANTASIA seguido de cd DHARMA=LEY RELIGIOSA o REALIDAD donde AITANA canta LAS DUDAS y que el 16 de mayo publica cd MILAGRO]..pues en 2018 cantaron JUNTAS en BUENOS AIRES la canción LO MALO (sobre que no quiere un chico malo en su vida..pues creo que a algunas le va la marcha o que las hagan sufrir como si fuera una DOLORES o una MAGDALENA jaja) que cantó originalmente AITANA junto a su compañera de OT Ana GUERRA como canción candidata para representar a ESPAÑA en EUROVISION para la cual también AITANA presentó en solitaria ARDE (que empieza con EN ESE LUGAR, DONDE LA VERDAD ES UN ABRAZO HUECO..] que la compuso "ALBA" Reig del grupo SWEET CALIFORNIA y pareja de MARIA Pelaez (autora de los cds titulados Hipocondría, La folcrónica y Al baño María. )..canción LO MALO que también regrabó con TINI , Ana GUERRA y colombiana GREEICY así como al parecer TINI hizo referencia en su canción LAS JORDANS del cd CUPIDO a SEBASTIAN YATRA y AITANA al decir "no quiero saber si me extrañas o si te aburrió la de España" y luego al parecer AITANA la hizo referencia en LAS BABYS porque dice ESA AMIGA QUE SE VUELVE MALA y porque Aitana también hace referencia a "La niña de la escuela", que es la canción que Tini canta con Lola Índigo y a "High Remix", otros de los temas que tiene con Lola y María Becerra. "Pero llega el viernes y me siento high. Que yo estoy soltera de vuelta. La noche entera con todas mis nenas. Dicen que la vida es buena, buena es", son las frases en alusión a los hits de Stoessel.

Yo ante todo esto..vuelvo a repetir que NO CREO EN LO QUE LLAMAN AMOR entre hombre y mujer y si en el DESEO o NECESIDAD y la VANIDAD [que no NAVI_DAD=IVAN al revés y Papa en Ingles al derecho y al revés o lo pongas como lo pongas]..por lo que le dedico a AMBAS el cd SCREAMWORKS: LOVE IN THEORY AND PRACTICE de HIM [HIS INFERNAL MAJESTY] cuya portada parece 2 MONJAS en UNA o que Ve DOBLE [la verdad es que me cuesta diferenciar una mujer de otra cuando me atrae SEXUALMENTE pues el SEXO CIEGA jaja o quiero cumplir UNA FANTASIA que no se si es a las que se refiere SEBASTIAN YATRA con el título de su 1er cd y que al parecer luego hizo REALIDAD O DHARMA como título su siguiente cd o anterior al nuevo cd MILAGRO]..en especial la canción IN THE ARMS OF RAIN donde dice LOS AVE_MARIAS por LOS SECRETOS QUE ME HAS OCULTADO, LOS AVE MARIAS POR EL SUEÑO DE MAÑANA

If you made it this far, thank you for reading!

Let me know what you think, are there some songs that you think should be higher in the rankings? Some that you would put lower down?

It would be cool to hear from other HIM fans, it’s a very quiet fandom now unfortunately!

HIM - Heartkiller [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[theeverchangingusername]

Look at my babies. Look at them

[writteninveritas]

Today I spent the afternoon with mom.

When night came out we returned to home. I put screamworks: love in theory and practice on spotify.

Honestly, it was the best thing I've done, I felt so nostalgic and in awe. As the car radio connected to spotify played the songs, I kept watching the dark sky with moon shining and clearing some clouds. The aroma of nature (even with the smell of the road and some cars passing by) was very present. I was transported into my world of happy dream: at a HIM concert, listening to them and singing all songs. It was just few minutes in the car and it seems so simple, but it made me feel really good.

My funfact: Screamworks: love in theory and practice is my fav him’s album. I really feel the passion at all songs and how Ville Valo was greatly in a healthy way. 💙🖤

Deciphering lyrics

Like St. Valentine~

“In the name of love lost

I’m frozen to her and I want you

To come build me a bridge soaked

In gasoline and pass the torch”

In an interview Ville talks about how part of the song has to do with saying “up yours” to relationships, then changing your mind the next day. I think this part has a lot to do with that, I think it means things going bad in a relationship causing him to curse relationship and say he’s done with it, then he meets someone new who changes his mind and makes him do it all over and say “baby let me be your Valentine.”

“Like the couple from Pompeii our dramas put on display

Along with a dove stuffed in a coffin of glass

Entitled "Love lust and the holy ghost”

Couple from Pompeii- Pompeii is an ancient Roman town near Naples in Italy. An eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. destroyed and buried most of the city under 13 and 20 ft of volcanic ash and pumice. The ruins of Pompeii were discovered in the 16th century and a number of artifacts were uncovered, one of which was two bodies locked in a timeless embrace as molten rock and ash swept through the ill- fated city two doomed residents clutched each other in their final moments.

A coffin of glass- The flower-adorned skull of St. Valentine is on display in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. In the early 1800’s the excavation of a catacomb near Rome yielded skeletal remains and other relics and other relics associated with St. Valentine.

I think those parts speak for themselves- “our dramas put on display.”

[hereiam-yourrocketqueen]

“The girl who cried “love” Won’t you come and play with me? You can be Cassandra Underneath the Sword of Damocles

We’ll tear this baby apart Wise like Solomon

Run, come shatter me now Shatter me with hope Crawl, come breathe me in; bleed out all sorrows Scream me a dream untouched by shadows Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now Shatter me with hope

She’ll be the witness to the repose of Evelyn Push the needle in to the canticles of ecstasy Turn to page 43 and you’ll know how I feel

Swear on your heart’s grave I’m wrong And love like your life’s depending on it Because it is”

im also really nostalgic for the memory of buying physical albums.. judging by when these cds came out as new releases, the last two that i bought were a deluxe softcover version of screamworks: love in theory and practice - HIM and the weird magazine tax avoidance release (that the band was laters sued for) of in full regalia - the ark

i really liked the HIM album.. its really pop (which i believe it was critized for at the time) but its really coherent in what it wants to do.. It’s really catchy pop rock.. goth pop? There’s not any bad songs. In full regalia on the other hand, had exactly two good songs and those were not the two songs the ark decided to play at their reunion tour 😠

online only music is so much more convenient for me due to the amount i listen too (i would spend an insane amount in the music store each month if this was 1993) but i do miss the small event of buying a small present for myself, looking through the booklet and admiring the packaging..
