Last year I wrote two poems inspired by The Amazing Devil. Today I added a third poem. Here are all three poems in this series:

Poetry Inspired by The Amazing Devil

Part One: 

The Ravenous Maddening Howling

Where do you go in the middle of the night, 

When there walks all terror and fright,

In the deepest of forests,

During the darkest of nights, 

I can hear the scratching, 

Feel wind rushing from the wings, 

Hear howling....the ravenous maddening howling. 

There is not a sliver of moonlight, 

And yet the wolves are out for a fight.

You left me here, 

Trapped in the storm, 

With all the lightning and thunder. 

I looked into the pond, 

And mistook the stars for the sky, 

I didn't wish to see the reflection, 

So I threw rocks to make waves, 

To keep from tiredly trying to decipher every pebble. 

I lay in the mud and let the green moss cover me, 

Maybe a fae will sing me a tune, 

To lead me out of this dark forest, 

For I have truly lost my way, 

Maybe one day...one day, 

Just not today. 

Part Two: 

Against All Space and Time

Against all space and time,

I am lost in the fabrics

Hurled into stars unknown

So much out of touch

Hyper fixated, barely breathing

The hours fly by

The idea of food just seems too much

I'm still in my universe

Because that is the safest place to be

Time escapes through my fingers

And there is not enough left for all that I want to say

I eat up the sands of time and never full

I follow the fairy lights further into the forest

It seems that is where I should be

Pulled like the tides

And all I can hear is the music

Feel the warmth

Leave me here to dance and sing around the fires

Let me forget, disappear into the forest

Let feral fairies find me,

Let them have me for eternity.

Part Three:

Ablaze

I hear a melody

(Our melody)

from a dream once forgotten,

(Remember! Remember!)

I open the door to their secret worlds,

They beckon me to follow 

with their eyes, their voice, 

they reach out.

It downpours, with bright lights and rainbows,

The rain feels warm, 

a hug I never knew I needed.

I hesitate not knowing where to stand,

I crouch to make myself smaller, 

digging my fingers into the soil to take root into the earth of me, 

I am the tree that whispers

I am the volcano that roars

I am the river that cleanses

I am the swallow that soars.

We dance and dance, 

dandelions in the wind,

fire embers in the inky sky.

They pick thoughts from my head like flowers, 

showing their beauty to me, 

As I cry in wonder. 

So feed me stars,

watch my ruins, 

{I'm no longer there} 

The world I created in whispers,

The world I created with words,

{For years, I was starving.}

Today they gifted me their fire

And, I set the world ablaze.  

When poetry hits just right 👌

Awwww thank you! 🥺💖 I'm glad you enjoyed them.

The Amazing Devil Announces New T-Shirts for Sale

From The Amazing Devil Instagram:

Sometimes you gotta listen to The Amazing Devil's songs in the intended order, letting them take you on a journey through incredible highs and lows, through the magical and the mundane.

Other times you gotta make little mini-narratives of your own in custom playlists, with all the songs that you think are connected in the same story or about the same themes.

Then there are those times you just gotta say "fuck it" and hit shuffle play and leave it to the hands of fate whether you'll have a fun time singing along or have your soul knocked out of your physical form with an unexpected song combination that hits you like an emotional spin kick.

hey (with the intention of forcing you to listen to the amazing devil)

Favorite Ruin Lyrics // The Amazing Devil

It was necessary.

The Amazing Devil IS music. And the most magical one.

THE DEAR HEARTS PROJECT: FANBOOK VIDEO

In 2020 The Amazing Devil Discord started a fan project to mirror back the love that our favorite band poured out towards us.

I decided to finally put an end cap to this beautiful project: A video compilation of what we had once hoped would be a physical book. At the very least, this can finally showcase the immense talent and outpouring of appreciation from just some of the dear hearts worldwide. 

You may also view the final pages on this tumblr for higher quality and reading ease, or download the public pdf HERE.

Thank you to everyone who submitted artwork and letters, and also for your endless patience! This wouldn’t be anything without all of you. Anyone that wished their content remain private has been edited out of the final public pdf, tumblr page, and video. All the best, Jackie x Song Used: Not Yet/Love Run by The Amazing Devil. (If the video doesn’t load, the direct link is here.)

The Amazing Devil now has a shop!

Lyric artwork by Madeleine is now on sale, with more goodies promised for the future!

"Dear heart, it's me, it's me, you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not."

Another one for this style! Based on “King” by The Amazing Devil. I finally did one for the song that got me hooked, and it still remains a constant favorite.

Pros of listening to The Amazing Devil on headphones: You can hear every. single. intimate. little. detail. Every sigh. Every laugh. Every growl. The heartbreak in Madeleine's voice when she tried, she really fucking tried. The menace in Joey's whisper when he denies, "No, no, not I." You could drown in the oceans of tenderness in the love songs. Discover the secret, almost subliminal secondary tracks hidden underneath the main vocals. Delve into the soundscapes of bird song, wind, waves, and even urban traffic that enrich various stories. Wrap yourself in the warmth and fondness of Joey and Madeleine's affectionate banter.

Cons: You cannot hear yourself and you have no idea how loud you're singing along until someone records you wholeheartedly yelling, "This here is not singing, I'm just screaming in tune!!!" and you discover that you were not, in fact, in tune. >.<

I highly recommend listening with headphones. 😌💜

Love Run: hey wanna come play in the fae realm

Horror: get in losers we're going to the fae realm

Ruin: *yoink* too late you don't get a choice this time around

Reblog and put in the tags an underrated band or artist you really like, what song you first heard from them, and your favorite song by them
