Overlord

Overlord was the code name for the operation commonly known as D-Day, in which the Allies attacked the Nazi held beaches in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944.  This attack would allow the Allies to gain a foothold in Europe and eventually defeat the Nazi's.

The Overlord I am referencing is a band.  They have a song I just recently discovered, which is a tribute to Morrissey, called "I Want To Die With You, Morrissey".  It is a very pleasant tune, the words are somewhat hard to discern but the video is very good.  Morrissey and his music touches so many people in countless ways.  He is an icon and we are blessed to be able to enjoy his words, music, intelligence and his amazing concerts.

I WANT TO DIE WITH YOU, MORRISSEY

In school halls, by club walls
From Rome to East L.A.
Our patron saint of suffering sings
And another life is saved

And who's the one
Whose words have earned
This charming Mancunian deity
His army of the solitary's mortal loyalties?

I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to feel how you feel even one last time
You let your life be mine
So I'll be next in line
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to show you when you go I'll be by your side
Who will confirm our doubts
When your light goes out?
I want to die with you, Morrissey!

The boulder rolls over
Our hero once more
But he chases it slower
Than he did before

He says:
Dear friends,
As much as I've enjoyed
Being destroyed for your anthems
You'll have to make sense of this senselessness
By your lonesome

But I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to feel how you feel just one last time
Your every word rings true
I've always followed you
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I won't lose who speaks truth to the powerless
One minute without you
I couldn't say yes to
I want to die with you, Morrissey!

Be still my heart
Should you depart!
I'd die without you
I'd die without you
So can I die with you?

I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to feel how you feel in your final hours
You let my life be mine
So I'll be next in line
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to share the fear that dare not speak its name
For all you've pulled me through
Can't I comfort you?
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to die with you, Morrissey!

For some reason, the band name of Overlord caused me to think of the song "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet.  I have no clue why?  I guess I'm just an odd guy.  And here I sit in my odditorium, thinking and writing my futile, bizarre thoughts.

                                                                       Space Lord

Our Moz is continuing his wonderful tour of the UK.  He has played shows in Nottingham, Bournemouth, Cardiff (Wales).  From all I've read and the videos I've watched, Mozza looks and sounds spectacular.  The crowds are great and very hyped to be in the presence of Our Moz.

                                                                  Speedway!!!!!

Unfortunately I won't be able to see Morrissey, because he is touring the UK and I'm in the USA!  I've got my fingers crossed he will come to Pittsburgh this summer.  You know, if I were a seagull I could get to the UK.  Hmmmmm, oh never mind, I'd probably fly around till someone would shoot me down.
