chuck palahniuk'un baba romanlarından biridir. ani bebek ölümlerinin sebebinin araştırılması ile başlayan roman palahniuk tarzı gelişmelerle sürpriz ve kara mizah dolu olarak sürer, büyü alemine falan da el atar. okunası, keyif alınası bir romandır. (türkçe adı: ninni)
dünya üzerindeki en güzel ezgilerden birinin üzerine en güzel şiirlerden birinin okunduğu bir loorena mckennitt bestesi. "O who can stand" deyişine kurban olurum dayı be!..
deflaraca yazılmış bir de ben yazayım zararı yok ingilizcede "ninni" manasına gelir. yaklaşık olarak "lallıbay" diye telaffuz edilir. bir başka ingilizce kelime olan "eye" (göz) ile enfes bir ses uyumu oluşturur veya ben echoes parçasını çok sevdiğim için bana öyle gelir.
örnek kullanımı;
"no one sings me lullabies and no one make me close my eyes"
echoes- pink floyd
bu arada echoes cidden mükemmel bir şarkıdır. ninniler güzeldir, gözler de güzeldir. insan arada bir özlüyormuş.
Lay your sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm;
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.
Soul and body have no bounds:
To lovers as they lie upon
Her tolerant enchanted slope
In their ordinary swoon,
Grave the vision Venus sends
Of supernatural sympathy,
Universal love and hope;
While an abstract insight wakes
Among the glaciers and the rocks
The hermit's carnal ecstasy.
Certainty, fidelity
On the stroke of midnight pass
Like vibrations of a bell,
And fashionable madmen raise
Their pedantic boring cry:
Every farthing of the cost,
All the dreaded cards foretell,
Shall be paid, but from this night
Not a whisper, not a thought,
Not a kiss nor look be lost.
Beauty, midnight, vision dies:
Let the winds of dawn that blow
Softly round your dreaming head
Such a day of welcome show
Eye and knocking heart may bless,
Find the mortal world enough;
Noons of dryness find you fed
By the involuntary powers,
Nights of insult let you pass
Watched by every human love.
I know the feeling
of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
and there ain t no healing
from cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I m telling you that
it s never that bad
take it from someone who s been where your at
laid out on the floor
and you re not sure
you can take this anymore
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
and turn this up on the radio
if you can hear me now
I m reaching out
to let you know that you re not alone
and you can t tell, I m scared as hell
ââ¬Ëcause I can t get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
well honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
out of the darkness and into the light
I have faith in you
but you re gonna make it through another night
stop thinking about the easy way out
there s no need to go and blow the candle out
because you re not done,
you re far too young and the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
and turn this up on the radio
if you can hear me now I m reaching out
to let you know that you re not alone
and you can t tell, I m scared as hell
I can t get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
well honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Everybody s hit the bottom
and everybody s been forgotten
and everybody s tired of being alone
everybody s been abandoned
and left a little empty handed
so if you re out there barely hanging on
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
and turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now I m reaching out
to let you know that you re not alone
and you can t tell, I m scared as hell
I can t get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
well honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
well honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
