Thoughts on "Shatter Me With Hope"
I remember seeing an interview where Ville was talking about that lyric from "Shatter Me With Hope," "Turn to page 43 and you'll know how I feel." He was all excited thinking that folks would have to figure out what book/magazine he was talking about. I checked out the Oxford Book of Death and Bam's book (all I could think of at the time) and turned up nothing. Just got Kat Von D's book, "High Voltage Tattoo" on Friday though, and page 43 has a quote from Ludvig Van Beethoven - "Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am the Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken." If that's not how Ville feels then I don't know what is. If he's referencing Kat's book...I think this album is about her. Just my opinion.
