theme: portray the name of a music band
-Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles.
-"Bleeding Me" is a song from their 1996 album, Load.
"Bleeding Me" is one of the few Metallica songs that contains a Hammond organ.
-The inspiration from the song appears to come from a poem by Lord Byron in which he states the following:
"The thorns which I have reap'd are of the tree
I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed.
I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed."
Amaranthus caudatus goes by many names including love lies bleeding, pendant amaranth, tassel flower, velvet flower, foxtail amaranth, and quelite. It always makes a lovely edition to our summer garden.
Many parts of the plant, including the leaves and seeds, are edible, and are frequently used as a source of food in some countries.
HSoS!
“But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.” :)
-Kahlil Gibran
