Lily & Marshal (himym)

So, I was watching this chapter of “How I met your mother” (himym) in which a young couple was about to get married but failed to do it. It has a lot to be talked, according to me. Hope you like my thoughts and if not, feel free to argue!

About the chapter:

Few weeks before the wedding, Lily, wife of Marshal, decided to postulate secretly to an art course in other country. She did it this way because if she had been accepted she would have had to travel and cancel the wedding. Lily wanted to know if she could be accepted, since her dream was to be a painter. Situation that Marshal did not know. Once that Marshal realized of her acceptance, they had to broke up due to Lily's dream. Despite of their huge mutual love, they had different intentions. Finally, Lily choosed to take the course mercilessly and the wedding was cancelled, circumstance that would hurt Marshal real bad. Lily knew she would broke Marshal's heart and being aware of that she still went to the art course, destroying love between them. Over time, Lily recognized she made a mistake and returned to Marshal's house to ask for his forgiveness. Marshal kept his stance and said no to her, they had something and Lily did not care about it. 

My thoughts:

I can not understand why a person who is happily engaged would sacrifice everything just by simple whim. Moreover, why would she think she could return and expect all things to be like it used to be? She needs to accept the consequences and accept Marshal's attitude. What Marshal did was completely fine. I can figure out Lily's wish to do her own stuff, but obviously she did not think too much about it. Her individuality was quite unpredictable and finished with more than one disappointment. Maybe if she had give priority to more important things, the end would have been different.

Anyways, hope you could comprehend what I wrote.

Face of Melinda (OPETH)

Face of Melinda OPETH (6)


This is what I think of the song:

This is a song which talks about a guy whose beloved isn’t allowed to feel as he, though she
wants to. By reading the lyrics you can easily tell that the woman in this song is described as a
nun who is in love of her religion. Despite this unchangeable fact, the lover will continue with his
love demonstration. The girl shows that she wants to be with the man “my promise is made but
my heart is thine”, she can only be faithful to her vows. Knowing this, the lyrics are really harsh
towards the beloved. For example when he calls her a “harlot of God”, confirming also that he
hates or doesn’t like religion or god. Indeed her love is reciprocated but she wouldn’t be with the
man.
