I have not seen the adaptation, nor is this technically a song selection for #tuesdaytunes but rather a post to encourage you to read this incredible portrait of what warfare is really like. I think that it's very unfair to cast it as anti-war, as it is a realistic portrait of WWI trench warfare told in prose so evocative that it could have been published today. Magnificent!
PS-if you need a smile then watch the independent YouTube video (Cont)

It's been cloudy today and is supposed to finally be in the 60s by the end of the week for a HIGH! I'm pretending it's chilly right now and am (seriously) listening to blizzard sounds. It's quite relaxing and is helping to put me in a fall spirit.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the mysterious sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior (one of the great lakes) Gordon Lightfoot has a great folk song about the sinking (The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald) and the tagged is on my TBR to read more about this mystery. Here is a short article about the basics:

Happy Veterans Day. Here's hoping that someday our veterans get the support they deserve and the care they need after they return home, beyond a free coffee one day a year.

I gotta love myself some Fizzarolli and this is my favorite song from season two.
Lyrics NSFW (but yeah, it's Helluva Boss*)

*Helluva Boss is a very queer cartoon series for grown-ups.

Now, November leaves,
Autumn's cooper-costume leaves -
Melancholy leaves ?

Beauty's got a hold on me

My #tuesdaytunes is the entire new Florence & the Machines album: Everybody Scream. In 2011 I was living in MN, that August I attended an incredible 2 day music festival featuring: Devotchka, The New Pornographers, Okkervil River, Flaming Lips and more. The following year promised to top it & I immediately bought tickets, sadly it was cancelled due to lack of sales. I do recall Jane's Addiction, Weezer and Florence and the Machines (CONT)
