For my historic first Inspirational Music Monday post, I will feature Panic! At The Disco: I Write Sins Not Tragedies. I love this song not just for the video (which is pretty awesome), but also for the varied beats and the lyrics. We are thrust into a wedding where we find out that the bride has one too many secrets. This song alone could be the basis for several different genres of writing.
One could take a horror spin, and have the killer take revenge for the bride’s loose ways. A romance spin could have the bride being forced to the marriage, and pick up as she walks out on the wedding and her family, choosing love. A mystery could add in a blackmail level and open before the wedding, with the wedding itself serving as the climax of the story. I could go on for ages!
This song also sits on my playlist for the Raven’s War series. It reminds me to open those doors and allow those little secrets some freedom to fly. I also, again, love the pace of the song itself. Have a listen to the video, then read the lyrics below. Enjoy!
"I Write Sins Not Tragedies"
Oh,
Well imagine,
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can't help but to hear,
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter,
"And, yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore."
I'd chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of...
Well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast
So, pour the champagne

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality again.
