You know how it is to have a song stuck in your head?

There is a song constantly looping in my brain. “The Boy who wanted to be a real Puppet” from Sonata Arctica keeps playing. It’s really an interesting song. I don’t want any copyright infringement issues so I can’t give the entire lyrics here. To find them go to Sonata Arctica website.

Basically the song talks about greed and being careful what you ask for. In this instance it’s a person who longed for a puppet with a heart of gold and the puppet master refused to sell it. The person followed them at all the shows and on the final confrontation the puppet master asks what the person wants and the boy asks for a heart of gold. To be a real puppet. The final stanza of the song says be careful what you wish for. Wishes might come to life.

Now I don’t know if this was the intent of the lyricist, Tony Kakko, but to me the song means that we need to be careful wishing our lives were different. To not wish for more than we have, but to be content with what we are blessed with. Also the old caution of being careful what you wish for should be held to dearly. Getting what you want isn’t necessarily the best thing to happen.

Now I don’t know if anyone else gets the meaning so if you get the chance to hear it for yourself I’d encourage you to check it out. This song reminds me to keep hold of that warning. In our family we’ve had the bad that can come out of getting your wishes answered.

Rambling? I guess I am but at least now maybe the song will stop looping in my brain…only to be replaced by yet another song off the Reckoning Night album?

I’ve made all these plans of how I’m budgeting my time so that I can get some writing done and have I written anything? Umm NOPE! I guess I’m avoiding writing. I have been so anxiously awaiting the release of the Elemental Desires series and for personal reasons I pulled the contracts. I may try another publisher, I don’t know yet. I have to be careful what I wish for….

Have a beautiful weekend and I’ll see you all on Monday!

Huggles!
