the heatwave is still doing on. since the 5th of June. i think i am only half alive.
today, to add insult to injury, my shuffle offered this song, and it is a huge favorite of mine; the band is quite good as a whole, although not world-famous.
so, i decided to check the video, and also - the comments. lately, the comment section is more fun to read than watching a vid or reading a post.
i was kind of surprised to notice that everybody there considered the inspiration for this song to be the Bronte book "Jane Eyre". well, as someone who is smarter than most ( this is my curse in life), i can tell you: FALSE.
actually, the inspiration for this song is the prequel to "Jane Eyre" very few people know about, but which i prefer. i think i read "Jane Eyre" when i was 15 or 16, in the original, as i was preparing for University. but then, once i got into my Major, we studied the Feminist movement, before it got twisted and corrupted, as it is now - a force, allowing you to be loud, disrespectful and an awful human being - politics does that to anything it touches.
nevermind. so, we studied "The Wide Sargasso Sea". and i fell in love with its brutality.
later, i found out that there is a movie, next to the book, and i watched it. Mr Rochester was depicted truthfully, as the swine the British usually were, back in the 18th-19th century, and still are - in the 20th-21st century too. i think the non-consensual sex scenes are gonna stay with me as long as i breathe, coz... yea... i have been there too.
also, the idea of a Sea without shores fascinated me strongly.
if anyone ever reads this, and if you care about your body, and your partner's body, moreover -if you are a fan of the ridiculously badly-written "Jane Eyre", i recommend you watch this, and you read this.
