Hello hello silver bloggers, music lovers and Hello hivers!
Inspiration don't you just love it? I know most of you lot love your Halloween but for me growing up by far the better holiday here in the UK was Guy Fawkes night or Bonfire night.
Penny for the Guy anyone... I don't even know if they do that anymore, but I did as a kid!
Do you know what I am talking about?
The Background of Bonfire Night
Tomorrow marks Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night, a unique British tradition that dates all the way back to 5 November 1605. This was the date that the Gunpowder Plot was foiled!
A group of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and assassinate King James.
The day is now commemorated with bonfires, fireworks, and the ceremonial burning of an effigy (the "Guy"). It’s a spectacular night of fire, light, and noise! Every house used to have their own fireworks and displays and bonfires, now though it is bigger community ones, although I hear fireworks popping off as I write this!
The lead image picture was taken yesterday afternoon of one of my neighbour's houses who keep their decorations up until after Bonfire night!
Isn't is sad how our traditions die out, that gives me an idea for a Silver Chronicles prompt!
So surprise surprise today we are having three tunes with fireworks and bonfires in their titles!
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
Do go support
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
Just to show I like some light genres we kick off with an American female singer who I quite like!
Tune 1 - Katy Perry - Firework
Released: October 26, 2010
From the Album: Teenage Dream (2010)
Actually such an uplifting and motivating song, needs no more introduction!
Tune 2 - The Doors – Light My Fire
I mean I had to right!
One of my favourite songs of all time and what a band they were.
Released: April 24, 1967 (Single Version)
From the Album: The Doors (1967)
9 minutes and 22 seconds but what a voice
Jim Morrison was one of the founder members of the 27 club and nobody really knows how he died. There was no autopsy done but I think the belief is he died from an overdose of heroin in a club and then his body was taken by to his girlfriends apartment in Paris. He is buried there and I have been one of the ones who made the pilgrimage to see his grave.
We finish up with a tune from one of my relatives
Tune 3 - James Blunt - Bonfire Heart
Do you know that James Blunt is actually James Blount. We are originally French and the surname came from Blond. Anyway it is a silent o but people get confused. Bit you don't go around calling Doug as Douge do you!
Yeah so here we go, a distant relative and another cracking voice to play us out...
I think you will like this one
Released: 6 October 2013
From the Album: Moon Landing (2013).
So there you have it — my three picks for Bonfire Night tomorrow.
Which was your favourite tune? Or have you never heard of them?
Note: The 3 YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant happy fun and terrific Tuesday until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
