March 2, 2015 – Reckless Indulgence

[Information]

This year it was March 5th. I didn’t particularly do anything for it, but if you’re interested in the details, click the link above.

Check local libraries, bookstores and schools to see if any in your area are participating in World Book Day.

And of course, spread the word!! 🙂

30 Seconds to Mars has always been a favourite band of mine. Pretty much any song they make I’m probably going to end up loving.

Today’s RECKLESS BEAT is their 2010 hit, Kings and Queens. This one… I don’t know. When I first heard it, it was like fireworks went off in my brain. Shivers went down my spine. And within maybe one or two listenings of the song, I had every word of the lyrics down pat. It probably had something to do with the way Jared sings the song… or the lyrics and dynamism that convey such emotion and anguish… Maybe it was just simply that it so suited my mood and state of mind at the time (I was writing a very… war-brutalized novel at the time, and man did this song take over my brain.)

Either way, this song is just… powerful. To this day, it’s still one of my favourite songs by them, and furthermore — simply one of my favourite songs EVER.

I hope you all enjoy! Even if you don’t usually like the band, Jared Leto, or this type of alternative rock music… this song might change your mind. 🙂
