Short work titles (songs, articles, short stories) use quotation marks. ah. makes sense. but, im still going to do what i've been doing. when i type a paper, it is correct though. Oh, dang. It probably looked like I was trying to hate on patrock, but I wasn't. Actually, I didn't even notice the "Invasion" thing, I saw the person who put The Ice People in quotes. Pffft, sorry.  Oooh, so it's okay to hate on me though, I see how it is  Whatev....
But thanks for the author, I just wanted to make sure I was looking for the correct novel, if I go to look for it one day, which I very well might... |

"the body snatchers", however, is a serialised work, originally published in collier's magazine. not that it matters, really, which is sort of the point of me taking this nitpicking to an extreme. the song is a song, not a book, or magazine, or movie, and should stand on it's own, and does. the 1958 film adaptation is still the best telling of the story, though. as for the "what is this song about" nonsense: who cares? whoever asked, i suppose, but they shouldn't. to me, art is magical, and magic doesn't, and shouldn't, make sense. |

Which reminds me of the early MTV hit Video Killed the Radio Star. Before music videos, the listener was left to their own interpretation of a song, but with a video the interpretation is presented in a video format. I kinda like the old days. Of course that is probably because I'm old. |

Plenty of books have been made of serialized stories. Most novels in the Victorian era were serialized initially. Kind of a pendantic argument, don't you think? _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

It's by Magie Gee. By the way, for future reference, long work titles (books, movies, newspapers, magazines) are underlined/italicized. Short work titles (songs, articles, short stories) use quotation marks. There's two books called The Ice People, and I think the one the song is based off of is the one written by Rene Barjavel. The lyrics fit the story: "I felt the wind shifting back on us Hold on we have to run" -The two lovers ("Elea and Paikan, 'the ice people'" ) are running away because if they are captured they will lose each other "But we can't escape there's no way They'll call our names through the speakers" -Their captor is calling their names through loud speakers making attempts to seize them "When they find you, they'll retrieve you Take you where sphered domes will freeze you" -Like Paikan speaking to Elea (they are frozen in an egg-like stucture) "These beautiful moments we shared together All end now They'll make me drink this potion; I'll sleep forever Until I wake under the glacier ground " -They surrender to their captor, Elea drinks the "universal serum", and she sleeps until she awakes 900,000 years later beneath the ice of what is now Antartica But I've never read the book by Maggie Gee, so I could be wrong? _________________ don't ask me ask the ministry |
