Queen of hearts only love

Darling you’re with me always around me
Only love, only love
Darling I feel you under my body
Only love, only love

Give me shelter or show me heart
Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

And I’ll be yours to keep
A wind in the shadows, a whale song in the deep
A wind in the shadows, a whale song in the deep

Darling you’re with me always around me
Only love, only love
Darling I feel you under my body
Only love, only love

Give me shelter or show me heart
Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

Ahh, only love, only love
Ahh, only love, only love

And I’ll be yours to keep
A wind in the shadows, a whale song in the deep
A wind in the shadows, a whale song in the deep

Darling you’re with me always around me
Only love, only love
Darling I feel you under my body
Only love, only love

Give me shelter or show me heart
Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

Now watch me fall apart

Only love love love
Only love love love
Watch me fall apart

Only love love love
Only love love love
And show me heart, show me heart

Текст песни

Once I was glad Always happy, never sad And every day seemed like Sunday And although things were slow Never seemed to have no dough Somehow, I never once got lonely Ya’ see the fact is more or less You’re gamblin’ with your own happiness And most all your would-be friends Turn out so phony Oh but times they change And re-arrange and I’ve seen The Queen of Hearts Don’t know where to start Or how to stop And as the days have come and gone Left me feelin’ that I’ve done so wrong I’ve wasted so much time feelin’ guilty And as I watch you sit across the room Beautiful as the flower’s bloom Leave it lay just one day Oh brother you’re gonna come back To find me gone I love you Queen of Hearts Tell me not to stop Just tell me where to start Where now baby Tell me where to start After all that we’ve been through I find that when I think of you A warm soft wind runs through and through And in my heart there’s only you And I will always keep on trying Togetherness brings peace of mind Without it there’d be lonely me And oh darlin’ lonely you I love you Queen of Hearts Tell me not to stop Tell me where to start Well now baby Tell me where to start Ahhhh

Перевод песни Queen of hearts (Bad Boys Blue)

Queen of hearts

Дама червей

It was late after midnight
I was sitting in a tavern
I saw him playing cards
And I went over to the old man
He said: «I read inside the cards all about your life
Do you want to know it?
So listen to me»

The Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts knows about life
She knows all about the heartache
Of the lovers in the night
Can’t you try to read the signs?
The Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts knows about fate
And the Queen of Hearts, she’s telling me:
«Run home to your love
Run before it is too late»

He shuffled all his cards
And then he started dealing
The Jack of Clubs, then Queen of Hearts
I didn’t know the meaning
He said: «You’ll lose your lover»
I did not believe a word
But when I got back home
My baby was gone

Было давно за полночь,
Я сидел в таверне
И наблюдал, как он играет в карты,
Я подошел к старику.
Он сказал: «Карты рассказали все о твоей жизни.
Хочешь знать, что они сказали?
Тогда слушай».

Дама червей,
Дама червей знает все о жизни,
Она знает все о страдании
Тех, у кого есть любовники.
Разве ты не знаешь, что означают эти знаки?
Дама червей,
Дама червей знает все о судьбе,
Дама червей говорит мне:
«Поспеши домой к своей любимой,
Поспеши, пока не стало слишком поздно».

Он перемешал карты
И снова разложил их,
Джокер и Дама Червей,
Я не знал их значение.
Он сказал: «Ты потеряешь свою любимую».
Я не поверил его словам,
Но когда вернулся домой,
Моей малышка уже ушла.

Your love’s so mysterious
Sealed with a kiss
My words so delirious
From the venom on your lips

PRE CHORUS:
You’re begging me to stay
I should just walk away
Take this sword from my heart
Got me bleeding out
I’m not a player in your game

CHORUS:
I’m the Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts my baby
Don’t you change the cards, you change the cards my baby
Cause’ I tried and tried, but I’m moving on
And I love you and I love you, though you did me wrong
Cause’ I’m the Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts my baby

VERSE 2:
Never felt more and more alive, now that you’re gone
I was the best that you ever had
You’re asking where it all went wrong

PRE CHORUS:
You’re begging me to stay
I should just walk away
Take this sword from my heart
Got me bleeding out
I’m not a player in your game

BRIDGE:
You’re begging me to stay
I should just walk away

PRE CHORUS:
You’re begging me to stay
I should just walk away
Take this sword from my heart
Got me bleeding out
I’m not a player in your game

Queen Of Hearts

Queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts.
She the type of girl to make ya lazy.
Don′t wanna do a thing.
I′ve been thinking crazy lately;
Like buying her a ring.
I used to be at the party with ladies, getting down.
I used to play with them girls
But, I′m thinking different now.

Oooooh she′s a star;
She makes me fly.
Takin′ me places, I′ve never seen.
Two worlds apart.
But, she don′t mind,
Cause she′s got her wings.

I ain′t the only one in love,
Reputation is a bad girl;
Cause she the queen of hearts.
She had me open from the start,
Having had her I wish I dealt the cards.
Shorty’s the queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shorty’s the queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shorty’s the queen of hearts.

Can′t wait to wake up in the morning,
Knowing she′ll be around.
Heaven shoulda sent a warning;
Before sending me an angel down.
I used to chase all the money, the cars, and all them broads.
But, I don′t care for them thangs ever since she stole my heart.

Oooooh she′s a star;
She makes me fly.
Takin′ me places, I′ve never seen.
Two worlds apart.
But, she don′t mind,
Cause she′s got her wings.

I ain′t the only one in love,
Reputation is a bad girl;
Cause she the queen of hearts.
She had me open from the start,
Having had her I wish I dealt the cards.
Shorty’s the queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shorty’s the queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shorty’s the queen of hearts.

Watch me run, watch me run away
Got no ties left to yesterday
I know who I was put me here now
I got no intention to slow down
Burn my past in the fireplace
From the ashes, I rise again
Looking at the future, it s so bright
I m gonna make it mine, gonna make it mine

Show you how I do
Out here making these moves
Ain t here to play

You ain t ready for it
Watch me go, watch me go rule the world
Know you never doubted, baby
I ma go run the whole universe
Baby, I was born to rule
Yeah I m the queen, I m the queen
And it s all because of you
That I m the queen of hearts

See it clear as day, dreaming bout the way
One day, I would rule the world
And now that I m surrounded by all my girls
We be shining bright like diamonds and pearls (Hey, hey, hey)
You all made it like a movement, yeah
Take a bow up on the stage
All my friends know how to do it

Written by Miyux

This adaption is purely based off of Disney’s version of the Queen of Hearts.

(In this story I have made up a name for the King of Hearts which is Frederick. Just so you’re aware and not confused when you see it!)

You kept walking for about what felt like a couple hours until you find yourself led to an opening that had many tall green hedges and red rose bushes scattered around. “Well, at least it is a change of scenery,” You say to yourself as you walk over to one of the rose bushes and lean in to smell its pleasant fragrance. Your nose brushed up against the rose that smelled quite delightful but you felt something wet touch your nose. Leaning back and bringing a hand up to your nose, you look back down at your hand to see red paint. Your brows furrow as you realize that these roses are painted with red paint. You glance around at the other rose bushes and notice a single bush had white roses instead of red ones. Rubbing the paint off of your nose with your hand, you walk over to the white rose bush and touch the rose’s pedals with your fingers. This time there was no paint. You assumed that all these roses were actually originally white roses that were oddly painted red. “Why would someone paint white roses red?” You think aloud. Shaking your head, you reach out and are careful to pluck a single thorny white rose from the bush. You twirl the blossoming white rose in your hand and ponder on why the roses are painted such a color as red.

“You didn’t just pluck that out did you!?” A male voice suddenly said from behind you. You gasp and sharply turn behind you to see the strangest sight. You had seen many weird things here already but this was quite alarming. A human-sized card like person that was a four of hearts was standing there and looking down at you and the rose with a worried expression. You stare back at him with your mouth agape, you were unable to give the card a quick enough of a reply as he spoke back up. “Just what do you think you’re doing plucking the roses?! It is bad enough that we haven’t painted these yet! Why don’t you make yourself useful and use that bucket and brush over there and paint these roses? If the King finds out he’ll have all our heads!”

You cock your head to the side curiously and glance between him and the roses, “Why do you paint them red and who is the King?” You ask the four of hearts card man who was looking around in a panicky state. He looked back at you and began pushing you towards a paint bucket and paint brush that was sitting at the side of a shrubbery hedge.

“Don’t tell me you’re another one of those outsiders like… Alex? I think that was his name. He came here and made the King very, very angry and if you do the same he will have your head. As for your questions, I’ll answer them as long as you help me paint these roses before the King finds out.”

You take the paint brush in one hand and have the white rose in the other. You look between the two and shrug your shoulders, “Well, I suppose I can help. Maybe, this King can show me the way out of Wonderland so I can go home.” You reason with yourself and then dunk the hair of the brush into the red paint, before starting to paint the rose you had in your hand. The card man looks very thankful as he goes over and takes another brush of his own so he can also paint.

“Paint these as quickly as possible and make sure there is not a speck of white. The King is very serious about his royal roses. Now for your questions, the King is called the King of Hearts, he is the king of the castle of hearts here in Wonderland. These roses must be painted red because, as you see, they are white and the King only likes red roses. Unfortunately, all these roses are white so we must paint them red without the King knowing.”

You finish your red rose and go to place it in your (h/l) (h/c) hair, behind your ear. You give the card man a strange expression and go to help him paint the other roses. “If he likes red roses. Why doesn’t he grow red roses instead of white?” You question the card who makes a sheepish expression.

“We may of accidentally planted the wrong seeds.”

“Wow…” You said and keep painting with him in silence for a moment before you have another question. “Do you think I could meet this King of Hearts? I need to ask him an important question that he might know,” You say to the card that looks at you with that nervous look again.

“The King is still fuming over the last outsider, Alex. If you meet him I would be very careful. He’s already had six of my friends beheaded today and that’s him on a good day.” The card shuddered. You narrowed your (e/c) eyes in confusion. What kind of king has his subjects beheaded so much? He sounds like an awfully evil ruler. You hoped that maybe this card was just exaggerating a little. You just had to meet this King of Hearts. He might be the only one who knows the way back to your home world.

“I’m sorry to hear that, but I really do need to speak to him. Do you think you can show me to him?” You ask the card that finishes up painting a single rose.

“I suppose, I can but I’m warning you. The King expects nothing but perfection.” The card tried warning you again, but you remained persistent.

“I’ll do anything just to go home. Take me to him, please.” The card gulped and nodded to you. The both of you finished the remaining white roses that were all now a beautiful red. “That’s the last of them. Now will you?” You ask again. The card sighs and nods his head again.

“Alright, if you’re so sure you want this, I’ll take you. Follow me, please.” The card and you put away the paint supplies to keep it hidden from the King. The card then waves you over and starts directing you to the entrance of the garden that was made up of many shrub hedges that functioned much like a maze. Upon entering, you walk behind the four of hearts and notice many other cards that were guarding the vicinity with red spaded spears at hand. They made you feel awfully nervous as you passed them and they shot you suspicious looks. You gulped and soon walked into an opened up area that was in the shape of a giant square and had a large throne up ahead.

The four of hearts card that had led you up there paused and looked back at you as he drew closer to the King that was at his throne. You stopped at his back and peeked over him to take your first look at the King of Hearts. There sitting with a grumpy scowl on his face was a slender man with short jet black hair, he had dark almost black eyes, and was wearing royal garb that consisted of the colors black, red, white, and some yellow. He was sitting close by a familiar anxious looking white rabbit with a red waistcoat and a pocket watch. That was the same rabbit you followed down to the hole that lead you to Wonderland in the first place! You gawked at the both of them but were taken back when the King of Hearts noticed you staring.

“What’s this?” His usual deep scowl faded just a bit as he stared at you with forming curiosity. “I don’t believe I invited anyone here? Who are you girl!? You better give me a good reason to be here uninvited!”

Everyone’s attention fell upon you and the four of hearts that led you here backed away with nervousness to be in the King’s sight. Everyone was staring at you and eyeing up and down and making you feel as tiny as a scrawny little bug on the ground. «Um, hello your majesty. My name is (Y/n) (L/n) and I very much apologize for arriving here uninvited, but you see, sir. I really need your help and um you seem like a kind and just king that would be willing to help me with a small problem. Could you help me?» You told him, while trying to flatter him a little to see if that would get him to be anymore compliant to agreeing to help you find your way back home. His onyx eyes were heavily set on you, taking in your appearance from head to toe.

He stared at you blankly for a moment before a smug smirk appeared on his face. «I see, a small problem?» He started off saying as he went to lean forwards on his throne to get a better look at you, «Just what kind of small problem does the sweet little (Y/n) have for me? I am a kind and just king after all. I do wonder where are you from, sweetheart? Care to tell?»

You tried to remain confident under his scrutinizing gaze, he was a rather intimidating sort. He seemed to be more curious by you now than angry, which was certainly pleasant to hear on your behalf. You nodded your head to him and replied while feeling a bit uneasy to tell him, «That’s just it, your majesty. I am not from around here in Wonderland. I come from a different world entirely, sir. My problem is that I cannot return because I do not know how. I was wondering if you could show me my way home.»

The king’s once calm expression turned into a nasty scowl from your words. He unexpectedly stood up from his throne and stormed over towards you like a prowling lion. Your (e/c) eyes widen as he charges over to with a seriously deadly look in his eyes. You shrunk back as he approached and was much taller than you. He looked down at you and deeply glared you, «YOUR WAY!? All ways in Wonderland are my ways! Understand girl!?» He shouted with an authorial air surrounding him. You remained shrunken back and were seriously thinking this guy had some serious temperament issues. You had to tread much more carefully around him or you would never find a way home but rather your way to the chopping block.

«Oh, I-I meant your way, your majesty.» You correct yourself which seems to calm him down just a bit. You couldn’t believe the mood swings this man had!

«Of course, it is my way. Now… You tell me you are not from Wonderland. Are you from the same place that Alex boy was from?» The King of Hearts questioned you impatiently as he crossed his arms and looked down at you with stern eyes. You gulp and hope that admitting you were from the same world as this Alex boy that everyone keeps bringing up wouldn’t set off his temper again.

«Yes, your majesty. Did he also ask you how to get back home?»

The King nodded his head and glanced over at his crochet flamingos that were off to the side. His eyes darkened at the thought. «Indeed, he asked me the same thing as you. I do hope you will not end up like him. You look more promising than that other boy was.»

«Uh, where did Alex end up?» You gulp again at the question you asked and were on pin an needles in front of the King of Hearts. His darkened eyes stared down at you, his lips twitched into an irritable frown.

«Gone?» You repeated and pictured Alex standing in front of the chopping block with those card guards ready to execute him for making the King angry over something that probably wasn’t even worth getting mad over.

«Yes, gone but enough about him. What is gone is better off to remain gone. Now, sweetheart. Do you know how to play croquet?» He asked in a voice that went back to almost being too polite. You much preferred him being this way then furious with you. You look up at him and nod your head a few times.

«A little bit. I used to play some back home but not very much.» You told him which made him smile warmly down at you. Your heart for some reason picked up in pace when he did. His smile was shockingly very handsome. If only, he would smile more often and not keep that awful scowl on his face most other times.

«Very well! I can teach you anything you don’t know. I am an expert player. Aren’t I?» He said before looking over at his card guards for a reply. They quickly all started nodding vigorously and telling him that he was better than an expert player. He grinned at their answers and glanced back to you with a smile on his face. «See?»

«Oh, well then I might not have much of a chance.»

He chuckled and gestured you to follow him, while at the same time putting his hand onto the small of your back, which surprised you a bit. You tried to ignore it as you walk over to some flamingos that had been standing off to the side. You furrow your brows in confusion and look over at the king as you and him approach the flamingos. «Take a pick.» He orders you to do as he glances over at you with his smile still thankfully on his face. You look from him over to the flamingos and were completely at loss. You didn’t know much about croquet, but you were pretty sure it didn’t have flamingos in the game. Still, if you declined to take one you would surely upset the king, so you decide picking one out anyways would be the better option. You take a gander at the different flamingos that were in a variety of different colors other than just pink. You decide to pick a (color) flamingo that was in your favorite color. You didn’t know quite how to hold it as you picked it up by it’s neck. It started panicking and fussing which made you also panic. The King sees your dilemma and laughs, «You really are clueless aren’t you?» He says and goes to pick up a bright red flamingo for his own. «You hold it down here.» He told you as he took the flamingo’s legs that acted as a handle for the bird.

The flamingo you had was still freaking out and you accidentally drop it. The King continues to snicker at you which made you feel embarrassed from how terribly you were already doing. You hadn’t even began the game yet and you were messing up! «S-sorry, I’ve never played croquet like this before,» You tell the king before going back to pick up the flamingo that started running from you. You scowl and chase after the bird. «Come back here!» You yell at the flighty bird that wanted nothing to do with you. The King laughed at first but started to grow tired of the whole silly game after a minute of watching you run around like a chicken with it’s head cut off. The King suddenly glared the bird down and the flamingo seemed to notice as it came to a screeching halt. You finally were able to catch up to the stubborn animal and go to pick it up by it’s legs instead of it’s neck.

Stomping back over to the King, his smile came back as he saw you now had your flamingo correctly in your hands. Now you were taken back when the King also took out a purple colored hedgehog. Just what kind of game were you playing!? «A purple hedgehog?» You quietly wonder out loud as the King goes to place down the hedgehog onto the ground in front of him. He then brings the head of the flamingo he had down towards the hedgehog that had curled up into a ball as if it was ready to be hit. You watched in fascination as the king concentrated on his aim before pulling back the flamingo and then swinging it forward at the hedgehog. Upon hitting the tiny curled up creature, it rolled towards the card that acted as a hoop but began to slow down before going through. The king watched his hedgehog roll about and right when it slowed down, you noticed the hedgehog peeked out from its curled position and pushed itself just enough to go through the hoop.

That was certainly what you would consider cheating and you didn’t even know how to play this game very well. You decided that you would let it pass this time, it was only one point, anyways, nothing you couldn’t rival up against. The king looked proud of himself for scoring a point even though it was an obvious bluff. You walk over to take your place but stop when you realize you didn’t have anything to hit. «Um, I think I’m in need of a hedgehog, your majesty.»

He brought himself back from his puffed up ego from scoring and simply nodded in your direction, «Of course, you do, sweetheart.» He said before glancing over at his guards, «Well? Get her one!» He hissed grouchily as they began stumbling over themselves to go fetch you a hedgehog to hit with. The king rolled his eyes and looked back at you, «I apologize. They can be ever so incompetent, sometimes.»

«It is quite fine, your majesty.» You replied back and felt slightly guilty for the card guards who didn’t take long to run back with a hedgehog for you. It was a bright yellow hedgehog that was incredibly cute even for being an unnatural color. A card of hearts placed down the lemon colored animal down in front of you that curled up just like the king’s hedgehog did. You gave your flamingo a nervous look as you could tell the bird still was holding a grudge from you taking it by the neck. Gulping and worrying that it would affect your game play, you mimic what the king had done with his flamingo. You slowly bat your flamingo as you concentrated to get a good aim at the card hoop. You pull back and make a swing when you feel confident enough. The king watches your every move as you hit the hedgehog that began to roll forwards towards the hoop. You held your breath as it got closer and closer and you could see for sure you were going to make a point. However, this quickly changes when the hedgehog swerves it’s body by just an inch and hits the hoop but doesn’t go through.

You furrowed your brows and saw that hedgehog purposely do that! You had that dead-on! That’s absolutely not fair in the least! You were about to speak up about the obvious foul play, but when you looked at the king you weren’t so sure if that would be a good idea. What was fun about playing a game if you just cheated the whole time? You hoped that the game would progress with no more cheating, but you were terribly mistaken. The king glanced at you and smiled with a smug air about him, «Better luck next time. Perhaps, I should show you how to play like I do,» He bragged as he went back to hit his purple hedgehog. Internally, you were fuming for him criticizing you when he was obviously not playing fairly. You bit your bottom lip and suppressed yourself from saying anything that would pique his short-temper but it was rather difficult.

The king hit his hedgehog again and it sped forward but was far from closing in on the hoop. The hedgehog wasn’t even able to turn itself on time as it went rolling to the complete left of the hoop. It appeared the King of Hearts was actually an incredibly terrible croquet player. The king was noticing his hedgehog was not moving in the right direction that he wanted it too, and you could have swore you saw him face turn a shade of red. The guards who were close to the hedgehog noticed this and they began quickly to interfere and force the hedgehog to roll back and go into the wicket. Your mouth was agape at the blatant cheating, and you couldn’t quite catch your tongue as you turned to face the king in annoyance. «That isn’t very fair, you know?! You’re cheating!» You accused the king who looked at you with a scary gleam reaching his dark eyes.

«What the deuce did you just say to me, girl!? Did you just call me a cheater?!» He growled as his face contorted to that of obvious rage. You noticed what you said and you open your mouth to speak but quickly close it. You had to be nice to the king or he would never show you a way back home. This whole game was an entire joke but you supposed you should just play along, even though it was entirely dishonest. The card guards were giving you anxious looks from what you had said to the king. Even they knew what you said was only going to vex him to the point of blowing up on you. You had to quickly change your tune or the king might be using your head as the ball instead of the hedgehog.

«U-uhm, did I say that? I didn’t mean that, your majesty. I wasn’t thinking. What I meant to say is that you are a very gifted croquet player. I never met someone so good at this before.» You babbled back to the king hoping that he would accept that and calm down. His narrow eyes soften just a bit and it was then he seemed to do a 180′ as he went back to being pleasant.

«Oh, why thank you. No one plays like I do. Here, sweetheart. Let me show you how to properly hit.» He said in an eerily calm voice that startled you from how quickly his tone changed. Talking to him was like walking on black ice, you had to be terribly careful what you said to him. Hopefully, after this silly little game, he would finally give you directions home. So you were completely taken back not just by his tone of voice, but when he moved in behind your back, so much that his back was pressed up against your own. Your face involuntarily goes as red as the roses you had painted back at the white rose bush. He extends his arms in front of you and places his hands on top of your own smaller ones. You were for a lack of better words as tense as a board. You glanced down at your hands, while he tried showing you the correct position to be in. Your own heart was pattering inside your chest from this closeness, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of attraction to him as he was so close to you. His warm hands felt so pleasant on your own, you couldn’t even think straight. «Now, dear heart. You hold it like this. Now just concentrate on where you want to hit it too. See? Not so challenging is it? With my help you will play croquet just as well as I do. Not as well, of course, but close.» He said into your ear and chuckled lowly. You could feel his warm breath tickle the side of your neck and give you goosebumps.

Ignoring the fact he was stroking his own ego. You let him guide your hands in the way that was ‘his way’. You knew you were totally off and would never hit through the hoop from how you were holding it, but you just continued to allow him to do what he wanted with you. Gradually, you started to bat your flamingo who was now on perfect behavior since the king was ‘helping’ you. You gulped and swung at the hedgehog and it went rolling far from the hoop just as you guessed it would. You were watching the hedgehog pause and turn itself around so it could throw itself back at the hoop correctly. You wanted to roll your eyes at this, but you tried not too, especially since the king had not even once looked at the hedgehog, but for some reason he was staring at you in a strange way. It was like he was contemplating something in his mind the way he stared you up and down like a posing model ready to be painted or drawn.

The card guards around started clapping as the yellow hedgehog (cheated) made it’s ways through the hoop. «See? Much better now isn’t it?» The king whispered into your ear in a way that sent shivers down your spine. You meekly nodded and let out a sigh of relief that you didn’t know you were holding once the King of Hearts pulled back from you. «Now let’s try this again, but this time use MY technique. When one follows my way they shall always go in the right direction.» The king inquired, before going back to hit his again. You didn’t know why you were feeling so odd around the king especially when he was so close to you. You tried to shake it off as you continued to play croquet with him and low and behold you weren’t too surprised when he ended up winning. Every single time he had hit there was cheating involved. The game was less than fun but it seemed the king had much so enjoyed it, which was a relief to you in the end. «What a splendid game. It seems, I have won again, perhaps, I should have played easier on you. You are a beginner after all, oh well.» He shrugged his shoulders and then went to adjust the golden crown on his head. You forced a smile towards him and then decided to ask him again about leaving. This time you were going to be much more careful how you worded it.

«It was a… splendid game, indeed, your highness. I wish I could play like you but now that we are done playing. I was wondering if you would direct me in the direction back to um the place I came from. In your way only, of course.» You added and hoped that would be a better way of putting in than the way you had at first. The king put his red flamingo to the side and went to look back at you with a thoughtful look appearing on his handsome face. You stared at him as he stood there for about a good minute in thought before speaking up again. His eyes were directly on you and his lips had twitched into a small frown, that didn’t look necessarily angry but more so that of a pout.

«Are you that eager to leave me presence, (Y/n)?»

Your (e/c) eyes widen and you shook your head immediately, «No! Of course not, your majesty! It’s just that I don’t belong here in Wonderland.-«

He cut you off as if he decided on something in his mind before you could finish speaking, «You would not be in Wonderland if you did not belong here in the first place. Nothing goes through or away from Wonderland without my consent, and I only allow things that belong here to go through here.» He started to say before walking over dangerously close to you. You waited on bated breath as he extended his hand a held onto your chin to force you to look up at him in those jet black eyes of his. «I have made my decree. You will not leave Wonderland but you shall remain here with me forever as my Queen of Hearts.»

Your eyes widen more if possible by what he had just said. Everyone in the courtyard seemed to be dumbfounded by the decree the King of Hearts had just made. Your mouth fell agape and you started blubbering back without a second thought.

«B-but I cannot possibly stay here in Wonderland! I have a home and life back in my world! Please, you must show me my way back home! I can’t stay here!»

He glared down at you with narrowed eyes and harshly brought his hand away. A dangerous gleam appeared in his eyes as you tried to defy him in what he wanted. «How many times must I tell you every way is MY way! My way is for you to stay here with me! You will be my Queen! You should be rejoicing! Why are you not rejoicing!? Am I not good enough for you!? IS THAT IT!?» His face was turning red with anger and the guards were approaching with their spears out threatening for upsetting the king. You were trembling in front of him and began to shake your head repeatedly in defense.

«No, of course, you are good enough, your highness! It’s just I don’t belong here-«

«I SAID YOU BELONG HERE! SO NOW YOU DO! Now if you’d rather continue to mock me with your persistence to leave me I will have you beheaded instead! Do you want your head to roll, (Y/n)? Or will you exult in the fact I just pronounced you my Queen?» He yelled furiously in your face. You flinched away from his screaming and began to feel like you wanted to cry in front of him. He was not only not going to show you your way home but he was going to imprison you here as his Queen? Why in the world would he want you as his Queen in the first place!? You just met him! He had to be absolutely mad just like everyone else in this outlandish world called Wonderland that you so happened to find your way into. If only, you had not been so stupid to follow that bloody white rabbit and fall into that hole! Now there was no way you would find your way home. You were a prisoner of this mad world that shackled you to it’s lunacy. You swore if you stayed here you would become as mad as the rest of them!

«B-but your majesty…» You murmured while fighting back the urge to cry. He stared hard at you and awaited for you to start looking overjoyed by the fact he had proclaimed you his Queen. «Why me?»

His lips formed into a smirk as he went to brush some of your (h/l) (h/c) hair behind your ear. You had your eyes lowered to the ground and dreading every thought of never seeing your life back in the real world ever again. «Because, my dear heart…» He started to say in a sickeningly sweet voice. His change of attitude could make someone go mad alone. You looked back up at him with your eyes shimmering with tears. «I have taken a liking to you. You came to me for a reason and now you see what that reason is.»

‘B-but this is madness!»

«There’s always a reason in madness, sweetheart. You’ll fit in just fine.»

«I’m not mad! I just want to go home!» You couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down your cheeks. The king noticed this and made a ‘tsking’ sound. «What about Alex!? Didn’t he go home!? He was an outsider like me! Why does he get to leave but not me!?» The king shook his head and took your hand and began leading you back in the direction where the rose bushes were. You kept weeping but you did obey in following him to the red painted rose bushes that were all fully blossomed, beautiful, and smelled divine. You and him were walking hand in hand through the aisles of rose bushes. He shockingly was calm now, not a single trace of anger written on his face, if anything he looked serene with you holding hands with him.

«That Alex boy was a very, very bad boy, my dear heart. He was ordered to be beheaded but he escaped from Wonderland before I had his head. You are very different than that unruly brat. I know all the ways of Wonderland and you, (Y/n), belong here in my world. What makes you think you came to Wonderland in the first place? Outsiders don’t come here without reason. You belong here with me. Be gratified you do not belong to another. You are more than fortunate to be the Queen of Wonderland, my Queen of Hearts. I’ve been searching for someone like you for so long and upon seeing you, I knew in my heart that your heart fits here in Wonderland. It is like the missing piece to my puzzle has be found. All of Wonderland will celebrate for their new Queen.»

Your head was low and your hair fell in front of your eyes as you strolled through the gardens beside him. Warm tears were still cascading down your face as you ambled along with him, «I don’t belong in a world full of mad people. I want to go home. Everyone will miss me and worry about me. They will think I’m dead.»

The King of Heart stopped walking and turned to look down at you calmly. «Pull yourself together and look up at me with those pretty (e/c) eyes of yours. I think you hold yourself too high above us all. We’re all mad in our own way, sweetheart. You will find by being here you are just as mad as everyone else here. You won’t want to leave. Give yourself a few days and I swear your heart will find it’s place here in Wonderland. You and I will rule together, our way. There will be no other way but the King and Queen’s way.» Squeezing your hand gently as to reassure you. The King watched as you looked confused and pulled your head up to look up at him as he had order you. He reached out and brushed a tear away from your face gently. You shudder from his gentle touch and then look into his eyes and had to ask him,

«I just have to know one thing… Why me? What said that I was the one to be your Queen of Hearts?»

«Do you question my rightful decision? Such a stupid question should lead you to a beheading. But I’m not going to behead you as I prefer your head where it is now. My decision is final and decided. There does not even need be a reason. Don’t make me angry, (Y/n), with such nonsensical questions. I don’t take kindly to stupid questions that only waste my time.»

You pull your hand away from his which seemed to aggravate him ever so slightly. You look off into the distance and were tempted to just run. You pictured Alex would have done the same, but could you outrun an army of the King’s cards that would attempt to murder you with their spears? Certainly, you could run away but to where? For all you knew, you would end up back at that enigmatic grinning cat that had led you here in the first place. The king watched you as you were looking far in the distance, it was then you felt a pent up rage inside you come pouring out. You sharply turned back to the king and started yelling, «Well, it certainly is not very hard to make you angry! You get angry about everything I do! I bet you’ll get angry when I tell you these roses here aren’t even red! They’re all painted red! There’s something to get mad about! But I’m not supposed to be at all angry at the fact that you cheated when we played croquet, and that you are now forcing me to stay here when all I want is to go home! Why can’t this stupid world just make sense for once!? Why can’t I just go home!?» You shout at the king, your frustrations being released as you couldn’t keep it in anymore.

The king’s irritated expression contorts into one of outrage, «HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME IN SUCH A WAY! JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE QUEEN NOW DOES NOT INSINUATE THAT YOU CAN STAND THERE AND BELITTLE ME! GUAARDDS!» He screamed at the top of his lungs, his face was as red as the roses. It took merely seconds for many of his cards to come stumbling forwards towards the King of Hearts. The king even stomped over to one of his red roses and examined it closely to see that it was indeed painted as you had said. The king’s face went even redder in color and it was then he exploded, «OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!» He bellowed out to the guards that had arrived before pointing at a random one and continuing his screaming fit, «YOU THERE! YOU TAKE (Y/N) TO HER ROOM! THEN SHE CAN THINK ABOUT WHAT SHE HAS SAID TO ME! DO IT BEFORE YOUR HEAD GOES TOO!»

The card that ironically was the card that had led you to the king was the one that he pointed out to direct you to your apparent room, instead of the chopping block. The four of hearts shuddered and flinched away from the king’s uproar. «Y-yes, your majesty.» The card replied back in fear, before running over to you who was staring in bewilderment at the outburst the king just had, and all because of your attitude now some poor innocent cards were going to get their heads taken off. You couldn’t believe how cruel and merciless he really was! You were about to speak up for the cards’ defense, but the four of hearts took your arm and began rushing you away from the king, who was seething out in ragged breathes of anger. His face was beat red and the cards that had arrived were being pulled away by other cards to have their heads chopped off. The King was pulling at his black hair, disheveling it wildly, and making himself look like a crazed lunatic.

You could only watch in horror as the four of hearts pulled you away to safety from the king. You were taken into an unfamiliar area through a red painted door that was in the shape of a heart. Once you were alone with the four of hearts, while still being drug by him down some long hallways that were all decorated with many heart related things. He stopped tugging you and looked at you seriously. «Are you completely daft!? Just what in the name of Wonderland did you say to him to make him go off like that?» The four of hearts asked you with concern. You looked uncomfortable under his gaze and felt incredibly guilty for getting those guards to be beheaded because of your own little tantrum. Crossing your arms, you looked down from his gaze and frowned.

«How can you not make him go off? He gets mad over everything. You heard what he said before that I have to be his Queen of Hearts… I don’t want to be his queen! I just want to go home and see my family again. I don’t belong here in Wonderland. No matter what he says, I won’t believe I’m mad enough to belong here, especially with that pompous cruel tyrant!» You said and felt tears working back up in your eyes. The Four of Hearts frowned sympathetically towards you and gestured you to follow him, which you did begrudgingly.

«You were mad enough to say those things to him. So you must be somewhat mad. I’m rather amazed he did not order for your beheading. I don’t think you realize how big of a deal that is. If something doesn’t go his way, he has the person responsible beheaded. You must be something special to him if you actually make him second guess having your head chopped off. I could tell the king took a liking to you from the moment he met you. I know you don’t believe it but it is truly an honor to be the Queen of Hearts. As I a guard of hearts, I must now serve and hold the utmost respect for you, my Queen.»

You didn’t know how you felt about that. Sure, you might have found this to be a gratifying situation to become an actual queen at one point or another, but the feeling was not there. You imagined it was only because you knew you would never return back home and see your friends and family ever again. You were also a Queen to a very (ironically) heartless tyrant that would see anyone beheaded if something was just ever slightly not going his way. You still don’t know what he saw in you to make him want you to become his Queen of Hearts in the first place. «I’m not mad, not in the sense of being out of my mind. I am mad at the king in an angry sense of being mad. I never thought all this would ensue, if I did, I would have never had you introduce me to the terrible man. I don’t see what is so special about me. He must be out of his mind to think I am.» You exclaimed as you kept walking down the corridor with the four of hearts, that was the closest person to a friend that you supposed you were going to have here in the Hearts Castle.

The Four of Hearts sighed and stopped walking when he arrived at a red large double door that was not surprisingly shaped as a heart. «This will be your room, your majesty. As for being upset with the king, you really should try to forgive him. You might find that Wonderland is more of a home than your home world. You are special, Queen (Y/n). Please try to keep an open-mind. You might also find that the king is not so bad himself. You just need to get past his well… temper. I’m sure there has to be more there.» The card tried to reassure you with a calming soft voice that was nice to hear other than the constant screaming you had been hearing.

The Four of Hearts opens the doors for you and lets you walk inside. You glance at the room for the briefest of seconds before looking back at him with a sad frown, «I doubt there is much more than what he has shown me but thank you… I guess you’re the closest thing to a friend around here that I’m going to get.»

The card seemed to blush and look bashful by what you said, «Oh, why um thank you, your highness. I am honored to be considered such.»

«Please, just call me (Y/n). It’s going to take some time to get used to being considered a queen. Please be around often. You seem like the only sane one around here.» You said and then smiled gently at him. He nodded his head swiftly and then saluted towards you.

«Of course, your majes- I mean (Y/n)!» He said before going to close the doors behind him. You watched him until he was out of view, leaving you alone in an unfamiliar bedroom that was in four distinct colors of black, white, red, and some yellow. It was not too much of your astonishment that the whole room had heart decorated everything. You sigh heavily and move over towards the bed and let yourself fall back on it with your arms out. You fell into the comfort of the cozy bed that made you feel like you were lying on a cloud. You stared up at the ceiling and let your thoughts run wild as you thought about everything that has transpired.

«A curious world full of mad people and I’m stuck in it. How did Alex ever get away from such a place? It seems so unfair that he gets away but not I.» You talked to the ceiling that (thankfully) did not reply back. «Just what does the King of Hearts have in store for me? Maybe, escaping this place isn’t completely hopeless. It just might take longer than anticipated. I sure do miss my home… my parents and friends… Do they even care that I’m gone?» Sighing to yourself, you felt a wave of depression wash over you. You shift over to lay on your side and soon enough you fall asleep only to dream about a certain ill-tempered king that has found his way into your life.

You were so comfortable, especially snuggling up to a warm pillow. Your eyes were closed as you buried your face into the pillow that somehow became firm when you got closer to it. Still, somehow it was pleasant and it even smelled nice, a scent you couldn’t quite describe but it reminded you of vanilla. You cuddled as close you could get and you sighed softly as you felt arms holding you so securely. Wait, arms? Your brow furrows and you open up your eyes to see a familiar man lying next you and holding you protectively to himself. It was then you realized it was the King of Hearts! You gasped and were about to pull away but you froze when you saw his enchanting onyx black eyes open and look straight into your own (e/c) eyes. He smiled at you and all you could do was stare back with wide eyes. You couldn’t process your situation very well. You knew for one thing you were sleeping next to the King of Hearts, who was snuggling you to his firm chest that felt muscular underneath his clothing.

«Good morning, my Queen.» He said in that sickening sweet voice that annoyed you because it was charming and made your cheeks warm with a blush. He took a lock of your hair and curled it around his finger as he stared at you fondly. You wanted to pull away so badly but your body was not obeying your mind very well. Your body was like a literal magnet that was stuck to him.

«Y-Your majesty!» You squeaked like a small mouse in surprise.

«Have a pleasant slumber, (Y/n)? I must ask if you would forgive me for yelling at you yesterday. I do realize how your life now is a far cry from your old one. Nevertheless, I know you will learn to love it here with me. This morning we will have tea together and get to know one another better. I want to know everything about my Queen.» He replied in a low husky voice into your ear. Your body shivered from the deepness of his tone of voice that made you feel warm all over.

You were honestly taken back that he apologized as it didn’t seem like something he would normally do. You also didn’t want to admit your place in his arms was rather comfortable and a part of you wanted to remain in his arms that held you so close to himself. «Um, I slept well.» You replied. You began to finally regain enough of your senses to start backing off and away from him. He seemed slightly annoyed you were pulling away, but thankfully, he did not say a word about it. Getting out of the bed, you glance over and see the king was also getting up. He looked over at you and seemed to examine you up and down carefully.

«We need to change those clothes of yours…» He said while seemingly scoffing at what you were currently wearing. You felt somewhat embarrassed that he was not in favor of what you were wearing. The king walked over to open the door to yell for a guard. He really didn’t need to shout so loud though since they were literally right outside the door.

«Yes, your majesty?» Two of them asked hurriedly at the same time.

«Get (Y/n) something more suitable to wear. Bring something with the color red. Understood?» He commanded the cards in which they nodded in obedience to the king before setting off on their way to get you something proper to wear. They swiftly go to retrieve a dress that was worthy of a queen. It didn’t take them all that long once they returned with a long dress that was colored in red, white, and black that was decorated with red hearts. It also had a sparkly golden tiara that was encrusted with small red rubies shaped as hearts. It was absolutely divine!

«T-this is for me?» You said in disbelief as you examined the choice in attire that they had brought back for you. They nodded their heads as you took the dress in your hands and continued to look at the intricacy of it.

«Is it to your liking, (Y/n)?» The king asked hopefully. You turn your eyes from the fabric of the dress and look at him and nod your head.

«It’s beautiful.» You exclaimed to the king who smiled back at you smugly.

«Not as beautiful as you, sweetheart. Now go ahead and get dressed and then come down for tea! The guards shall lead you there,» the king said before brushing past you with a smirk on his lips as he touched his hands with your own for only a moment. You felt your body grow warm as he had done this. You turned to watch him leave with the cards that followed him out so you could have so privacy. Taking the regal dress you strip of your old clothing and change into the new dress that somehow fit you perfectly. You looked at yourself in the mirror and felt a mixture of feelings that ranged from good to bad. You were now Queen of a place that you had found yourself lost in by complete mere chance. Should you be humbled by such a thing or trying to find a way out before you became to lost to ever be found in this crazy world. You tried to picture a life that was forever with the King of Hearts and somehow that unsettled you. You only knew him for a single day and yet you were bound to him forevermore. Life couldn’t be so difficult as a pampered Queen but could you really live with a man that became enraged by the faintest flaw? You weren’t sure…

Running your hands down your dress to soothe out any wrinkles. You grabbed your tiara and placed it upon your head. You felt almost like you were playing the role in some kind of grand play, that really was reality, but it seemed so surreal. You fixed your hair before leaving the room to find cards that weren’t at all far away. You walked over towards two of them that were standing at the end of a hallway that you were in. «Excuse me, but could you both take me to this tea party that the King is having?» They looked at you and both of them surprised you when they deeply bowed to your presence.

«Yes, your majesty!» They both replied obediently, before gesturing you to follow them. You were going to admit it would probably always seem uncanny that you were being referred to as ‘your majesty’. You thanked them and soon began following them through the castle’s interior until they took you outside to a garden and courtyard. There in the courtyard was a scarlet clothed heart shaped table that was meant for only two to be seated. The King of Hearts was seen sitting there and, of course, yelling at some cards for something trivial, you assumed. You made a weary expression as you kept your hands held in front of you as you walked towards him and the tea table. His glare was harsh but when he turned to look back at you his whole demeanor seemed to change entirely. His dark eyes soften and he seemed to be awestruck by your sheer beauty that you graced him with.

«My, my, dearest (Y/n)! You look extravagant! So much better than those old clothes you were wearing. Dear, I wonder where you even found such unsightly attire before, but never mind it. You are properly dressed now for teatime with me! Come now! Sit over here with me, sweetheart.» He offered cordially as he extended his hand to gesture you to sit in front of him. You noticed some cards standing at the side and they were playing soft soothing instrumental music to soften the mood. A card guard pulls a seat out for you, which you go to sit down, before he also pushes you in just enough so that you were comfortable. The King of Hearts had his chin resting in the palm of his hand as he stared at you adoringly. You felt a bit shy under his watchful gaze that seemed to be taking you in like a work of art. «Now that you are seated. Would you care for some tea?» He offered as he went to grab a large tea kettle that was white and bordered with small red hearts. You would be silly to decline as you nodded to him with a soft unsure smile. So far he seemed to be playing it very calm, maybe the music really does soothe the savage beast, because he seemed completely tranquil.

He poured the contents of the tea kettle into your fancy white teacup that had a heart shaped handle. He poured it until it was full to the top before setting it back down, «How about cream and sugar?»

«Both please.» You replied and he hummed to himself as he got the cream and sugar for your tea. Once placed into your teacup, you took a spoon and stirred it into the tea to even it all out. «Thank you very much.» You said which made him smile pleasantly at you.

«You’re very welcome, my dear.» He replied as he plopped a few sugar cubes into his own tea before stirring. You brought the teacup up to your lips and tasted it. It was absolutely divine! You honestly never had tea this lovely, before. So far the day was starting off quite well, even if your thoughts were still ever so slightly wandering back to your real home. «How is the tea?»

«It’s very good! I’ve never had such pleasant tea before. It’s (your favorite tea) isn’t it?»

He nodded and continued to smile at you in a way that was full of admiration for his Queen in front of him. «Ah yes, it is. I’m so delighted you are fond of it. Perhaps, there won’t be a beheading… for now,» the king sighed as if that was a bad thing. You made a strained smile and wished he didn’t bring up beheadings when you seemed to be starting off so cordially. «Anyways, my dear… I’ve been doing some thinking about our wedding and when it shall be. I prefer if we get on with it quite soon. I do hate waiting.» He started to say which made you almost choke on your tea.

«W-w-wedding?» You uttered in shock by what he just said. He nodded like it was the most obvious of things.

«Yes, OUR wedding. I will invite all of the land to come and rejoice of such a grandeur occasion. It shall be wondrous! Beyond anything that Wonderland has ever laid their eyes on! So back to what I was saying, I think a wedding a week from now shall do. No more, no less. What do you think, (Y/n)?»

You were biting back your tongue from blowing up on him yourself. A wedding!? Whenever did that come into the picture!? It was bad enough you had to stay with him forever but now he was forcing your hand to wed him?! Wasn’t being his Queen good enough? You sat there with a newfound feeling full of dread. You didn’t love him! You only knew him for a day! When you pictured yourself getting married you always visualized yourself being married to a man that you loved, but nothing quite like this! «B-but your majesty…»

«Please, (Y/n). I think we’re past formalities. Call me by my name, Frederick.»

Your eyes widen in surprise. You had been calling him the King of Hearts and ‘your majesty’ so much, you almost forgot that he even had a real name. «O-oh okay… Frederick,» you said his name that flowed off of your tongue like honey. You thought it suit him quite well. However, your mind was still going right back over to the fact you had to marry him in a week! You weren’t ready for commitment! You still had your life ahead of you with so much to do before settling down. You squirmed in your seat uncomfortably and the king seemed oblivious to it.

«Y-your majes- I-I mean, Frederick. Don’t you think that we should actually hold back the wedding a little? After all, we haven’t really known each other more than a day.» You told him, while hoping you would be able to get to his senses a little. He crossed his arms and looked immediately defiant to what you were trying to pull on him.

«Who cares? I hate waiting, (Y/n), and you can’t be officially my Queen until we’re wed. I say one week!»

«NO!» He shouted which made you flinch back. He grumbled to himself like a pouting child as he glared over at the card musicians who were looking more nervous by the second from his watchful dark eyes. You felt like you were talking to a brick wall about changing the date to a later one. There was no talking to the King of Hearts when he had his mind set on something. «You and I will be wed in a week, no sooner, no later! I could just make it even earlier.-«

«No, that’s fine!» You cut in which made him scoff at your hurried blunt answer. You knew you were walking on thin ice as his temper was growing hotter by the second. He asked you your opinion on something but he really didn’t seem interested to actually hear it. Rather, he wanted to hear you agree to him for everything he decreed. «I mean…» You sighed, «A week is fine… Like you said, no sooner.» He nodded his head before going to take a sip of his tea. You took a breather for the very second he took a sip. Conversing with him was proving to be tiresome. Absentmindedly, you stirred your spoon around in your tea and stared at the brown liquid in the cup forlornly. You really weren’t looking forward to marrying him. The King of Hearts looked to be growing bored of the silence that you fell into. You didn’t know why he had to keep staring at you and making it even more awkward. «So, what will I be doing for this week until the… marriage?» You asked him as you looked up from your cup with slight annoyance.

He smiled at you and poured more tea into his cup as he spoke, «I will be teaching you the ways of what it takes to be a true monarch of Wonderland! With my guidance, you will be just the elegant grace that you need to be as my Queen! I’m sure you will do just fine, my dear!» He chuckled as he took another sip. You wanted to slam your face against the table. Now you had to learn royal etiquette from him AND marry him? This pleasant day had just went completely sour. You couldn’t imagine what kind of ‘etiquette’ the king had in store. Unless, you considered blowing up and screaming for everyone’s head to be chopped off considered fine royal behavior.

«Oh, wonderful… I’m so excited.» You say while trying not to sound sarcastic but it definitely came across that way.

«You should be! You’ll get to learn from the very best!» He exclaimed confidently as he placed his hand on his chest almost theatrically.

You glanced away from him and rolled your eyes so he couldn’t see. Somehow, you were feeling that your days here were going to be quite strenuous on your mental capacity. For the rest of your morning tea, you chatted about not so important topics together. Your mind was else where as you spoke to him though, thankfully while not making him angry at all. Once you got up from teatime, it was time to prepare yourself for your ‘lessons’. For some particular reason, you were really not looking forward to it. The King of Hearts waved you over to follow him, which you did so without complaint even though your mind was screaming to run away.

He took your hand and led you inside the castle, where you would begin your lessons of being the Queen of Hearts.

Making an album is a journey across mountains and valleys of moods and emotions. Sometimes the sessions are pure flow, joyful, easy and inspired. And, of course, on other days the creative process is like pulling hairs. Agonizing, depressing, and seemingly impossible. I always see my weaknesses as a musician and, on the other side of the coin, how ridiculously self-critical I am. And sometimes I’m amazed and inspired by my own seemingly endless well of inspiration. Where does it come from? Well, I have no question about that. It’s a direct gift from my Guru…. Hopefully, through it all, I can learn and grow as a musician, but more importantly as a human being crawling along the path of spirit and love.

Anyway, just like every album seems to have its own flavor, the process of making the albums is also quite different from one to the other. And the weird part is that the final ‘product’ doesn’t always seem to reflect the moods that went into making it. Some albums that were torturous to create sound sweet and joyful, while some of the ones that were super easy sound kind of tortured. At least to my ‘unbiased’ ears.

Why am I writing this? Well, mainly just as an introduction to the world of Queen Of Hearts. This album was a total breeze to make. The songs had been percolating inside of me for years; the musical ‘style’, mixing reggae, ska, samba and traditional Bengali Kirtan, although quite new, seems like it’s been around for ages. I’ve been listening to and loving reggae since I was a teenager, (you can hear it in some of my ‘Pagan Love Orchestra’ work) but I had put it aside for a while, exploring other worlds. And, of course, the marriage of India and Brazil is sort of my life! So put it all together, and you’ve got Queen Of Hearts!

But that’s not all there is to it. Who is the “Queen”? Well, of course, She is Srimati Radharani, Herself. That very One who is most loved by Sri Krishna and who blesses the three worlds with the treasure of Bhakti, or Divine Love. So when the idea came (from where?) to dedicate an album to the Goddess Radha, I can only guess that She simply made it easy. Sure, it was hard work. But that mysterious element that we call ‘flow’ was always there. The songs kind of wrote themselves. The musical parts were recorded easily. The singing was relatively effortless. We laughed A LOT!

Now, does all that translate to the final CD? The answer to that question has to come from YOU! Is it uplifting and joyful? Or angst-ridden and cathartic? Or all of the above?

And, most of all, may the blessings of the Queen of Hearts rain down upon us all.

THANKS
Endless gratitude and danda pranams to my Guru, Sri Sri Sri Baba Neemkaroli Santa Maharaj and to my Spiritual Mother, Sri Sri Sri Siddhi Ma, who have saved me a million times from the clutches of death and worse…
Endless love and thanks to Nubia and Ezra Gopal, who show me again and again that divine love is possible on the human plane and for making me laugh in the face of everything…
Thanks to my brother, Ben Leinbach, for making another musical/spiritual/emotional crossing with me…
Thanks to all the musicians on the album for caressing the songs with their hearts and souls and great talent. Please explore their wide ranging musical offerings…
Thanks to my oh so patient managers, Steven Saporta and Steve Dalmer of Invasion Group…
Thanks to Terry McBride and the crew at Nutone for taking another chance…
Thanks to the original creators of Ska and Reggae, those incredible beats…
Thanks to Shilo, that invisible Indian artist, for creating the visible manifestation of the music…
Thanks to my buddy, Shyam Das, for the song notes…
And perhaps most of all, deepest thanks to all the devotees of the devotees of the devotees of the devotees singing and praying through the endless corridors of time for lighting the dimly lit, unmapped, uncharted path of Bhakti.
May we all feel a drop of that divine love!
May all beings be happy!
RADHE SHYAM.

I heard you like to skip rope and break hearts
Saw you on the playground
With trick cards
You just met your equal, queen of hearts
Hallelujah
I heard you like to skip rope and play hearts
Singing hallelujah
In play yards
You just met your equal, queen of hearts
Holla do ya’

Only Love

Darling you’re with me always around me
Only love, only love
Darling I feel you under my body
Only love, only love

Give me shelter or show me heart
Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart watch me fall apart

And I’ll be yours to keep
A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep
A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep

Only love love love,
Only love love love,
Watch me fall apart

Only love love love,
Only love love love,
and show me heart

Only Love

Querido, você está com me sempre em torno de me
Só o amor, somente o amor
Querida eu sinto que você debaixo do meu corpo
Só o amor, somente o amor

Dê-me abrigo ou me mostrar o coração
Venha on amor, vir on amor
Assista me cair distante assistir a me cair distante

E eu vou ser seu para manter
Um vento em a sombra, uma canção whale em a profunda
Um vento em a sombra, uma canção whale em a profunda

Só o amor love love,
Só o amor love love,
Assista me cair distante

Só o amor love love,
Só o amor love love,
e me coração mostrar

Перевод Juice Newton – Queen Of Hearts

Текст :

Midnight, and I’m a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it’ll take me just a little farther down the line

Moonlight, you’re just a heartache in disguise
Won’t you keep my heart from breaking
If it’s only for a very short time

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool
Who’ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
Thinking ’bout a life of crime
‘Cause that’s what I’ll have to do
To keep me away from you

Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done

Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they’re handing out the heartaches

Перевод :

Полночь, и я жду двенадцатого
Надеюсь, это займет немного дальше

Лунный свет, ты просто замаскированная боль в сердце
Не хочешь ли ты не разбить мое сердце
Если это только в течение очень короткого времени

Играя с королевой червей
Зная, что это не очень умно
Джокер не единственный дурак
Кто тебе все сделает
Выкладывая еще одну ложь
Мышление о преступной жизни
Потому что это то, что я должен сделать
Чтобы держать меня подальше от тебя

Дорогая, ты знаешь, это сводит тебя с ума
Почему все говорят всем, что вы сделали

Детка, я знаю, это делает тебя грустным
Но когда они раздают сердечные боли

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool
Who’ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie,
Thinking ’bout a life of crime
‘Cause that’s what I’ll have to do
To keep me away from you

Lovers, I know you’ve had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
And tell ’em they’re the only one

And others, they know just what I’m going through
And it’s a-hard to be a lover
When you say you’re only in it for fun

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain’t really smart

Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts

Играя с королевой червей
Зная, что это не очень умно
Джокер не единственный дурак
Кто тебе все сделает
Выкладывая еще одну ложь,
Мышление о преступной жизни
Потому что это то, что я должен сделать
Чтобы держать меня подальше от тебя

Любовники, я знаю, у вас было несколько
Но спрячь свое сердце под одеялом
И скажи им, что они единственные

И другие, они знают только то, что я переживаю
И трудно быть любовником
Когда вы говорите, что вы только в нем для удовольствия

Играя с королевой червей
Зная, что это не очень умно

Играя с королевой червей
Играя с королевой червей
Играя с королевой червей
Играя с королевой червей

Твайс Queen of Hearts

Твайс Куин оф хартс

Watch me run, watch me run away

Got no ties left to yesterday

I know who I was put me here now

I got no intention to slow down

Burn my past in the fireplace

From the ashes, I rise again

Looking at the future, it’s so bright

I’m gonna make it mine, gonna make it mine

Show you how I do

Out here making these moves

Ain’t here to play

You ain’t ready for it

Watch me go, watch me go rule the world

Know you never doubted, baby

I’ma go run the whole universe

Baby, I was born to rule

Yeah I’m the queen, I’m the queen

And it’s all because of you

That I’m the queen of hearts

See it clear as day, dreaming ’bout the way

One day, I would rule the world

And now that I’m surrounded by all my girls

We be shining bright like diamonds and pearls (Hey, hey, hey)

You all made it like a movement, yeah

Take a bow up on the stage

All my friends know how to do it

And you can do it too just follow, hey

You’re making me shine today (Yeah, you can do it, hey)

Перевод песни Queen Of Hearts

и я жду двенадцать-о-пять,

Надеясь, что это приведет меня немного дальше по линии.

ты просто скрытая душевная боль.

Разве ты не удержишь мое сердце от разрыва,

если это только на очень короткое время?

Играю с королевой сердец,

зная, что это не очень умно,

Шутник не единственный дурак.

кто сделает все для тебя?

Выкладываю очередную ложь,

думая о преступной жизни,

Вот, что я должен сделать, чтобы держаться от тебя подальше.

Милая, ты знаешь, это сводит тебя с ума.

Почему все говорят всем, что ты сделал?

Детка, я знаю, тебе грустно

От этого, но когда они раздают сердечные

боли, ты знаешь, что должна быть с тобой.

Припев: влюбленные, я знаю, у вас было несколько, но спрячьте свое сердце под одеялом и скажите им, что они единственные и другие, они знают, через что я прохожу, и трудно быть любовником, когда вы говорите, что вы в нем только ради забавы, играя с королевой сердец, зная, что это не очень умно, шутник не единственный дурак, который сделает для вас что угодно.

Midnight, and I’m a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it’ll take me just a little farther down the line

Moonlight, you’re just a heartache in disguise; Won’t you
keep my heart from breaking if it’s only for a very short time

Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool who’ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking ’bout a life of crime
That’s what I’ll have to do to keep me away from you

Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done

Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they’re handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some

Lovers, I know you’ve had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell ’em they’re the only one

And others, they know just what I’m going through
And it’s a-hard to be a lover when you say you’re only in it for fun

Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool who’ll do anything for you

Playing with the queen of hearts, and knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool who’ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking ’bout a life of crime
That’s what I’ll have to do to keep me away from you
Playing with the queen of hearts [repeat and fade]

Текст песни Queen of Hearts

My perfect angel, staring at the stars above
I put my hand to your cheek
For one last kiss goodnight, one more small goodbye
So I don’t have to lose my mind

I can’t put this into words through voice or hand
Your love is the best thing that I’ll never have
The time and pain put in this with not be in vain
The love I have to share will always stay

I’ll take the blame for this, that’s why I write this song
(My Perfect Angel, My Perfect Angel)
I should have seen it coming all along
(Why would you do this to me?)

My perfect angel,
(We’ll always be the same,)
My perfect angel,
(We’ll never change,)
Why would you do this to me?!
(we’ll never change)

My perfect angel, staring at my blood soaked hands
I put my hand to your cheek
For one last touch of life, one more silent prayer of mine
So that I can say goodbye

Перевод песни Queen of Hearts

Я заберу вину за это, именно поэтому я пишу эту песню.
(Мой прекрасный ангел, мой прекрасный ангел)
Я должен был увидеть, что это всегда со мной
(Почему вы сделали это со мной?)

Мой прекрасный ангел,
(Мы всегда останемся теми)
Мой прекрасный ангел,
(Мы никогда не изменимся)
Почему вы сделали это со мной?
(мы никогда не изменимся)

Мой прекрасный ангел, глядящий на мои окровавленные руки,
Я касался своей рукой твоей щеки
Ради последнего прикосновения в моей жизни и ещё одной тихой молитвы
Так, чтобы я смог сказать прощай.
