Throwback Thursday Part 21

Books and lilacs. Two lovely things. Also Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley.

Since today is World Book Day, Throwback Thursday is to the book inspirations in music. When I was drawing up a list, I came up with over 70 songs that had any references to books, so I had to cut the list short.

And no, no Iron Maiden here, because they made references to every most of the classic books.

I was trying to find anything based on the Faust, but except for Muse and one song I couldn't remember the artist of, I had to give up.

Akutagawa was born on this day

 

And we are going to celebrate!!
