Creeeeepy....Creeeepy.....
This weekend was Halloween...
In Sweden we do not celebrate Halloween. It is rather a very sombre day of visiting churchyards, lighting special candles, putting flowers on the graves and remembering the loved ones who have passed away. Shops and commercial establishments are trying their best to get Halloween into our lives here but apart form young children wanting to dress up in ghoulish attires and flower shops selling a few bright orange pumpkins - it has not quite caught on. Maybe it will, in a few generations.
So far it is still very traditional, quiet and contemplative indeed....
But I have seen pictures.....Halloween is supposed to be a rather spooky time.......
ghosts....spiders...cobwebs....skeletons...devilish masks... scary pumpkins...bats and so on...
But let me tell you what I think is really spooooooky and creepy...
It is a song by Sting....Hahaha ...yes... really!
(I think I have been seeing too many Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse, Miss Fisher and such like!!!)
Just read these lyrics... OMG! Halloween-ish indeed
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
And here is a photo to go with it........!!!
