So. I'm writing this new book, see, and have been since January 1st. (Well, I started it before then, but this time I'm actually writing it.) The Tarot Book, the one with the terribly bad working title...
One of the things I'm doing concurrently is making a tarot playlist. Though I'm working on the Fool chapter, I am now enamored of "Karma Slave" by Splashdown, which is the most perfect Wheel of Fortune song ever:
Today I'll be spinning on a Wheel
I'm a slave to a Wheel
And there isn't any stopping
What mistake(s) could I have made?
I'm a slave serving time for a life that I've forgotten.
...
Today I'm a king on the Wheel
Still a slave to the Wheel
But this time around I'm smiling
Keep me cautious, keep me safe, just in case there's a chance
I can leave this Wheel behind me.
Stand in the Middle and you won't get dizzy
Stand in the Middle and you won't fall down
If you stand in the Middle you can keep your balance
Stand in the Middle while the Wheel spins round and round...
...
Who's at the center of the Wheel
The inventor of the Wheel
or another spinning servant
I'm the Master of my Wheel of my very own Wheel
Universal and recurrent
I'm a slave of Karma
Spin the Wheel and I'm a King reborn
I'm a slave to Karma
I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back
But for the last time.
This won't be a frequent type of update, don't worry, but it was in my head.
