This #ThursdayFiveList is#CelebrateBooksDay , a holiday I could really get behind. But did I have the songs for it? Yes, but some may need explanation. For instance, the song Hotel Essex is an interpretation of the poem Now We Think by poet Essex Hemphill. Clipping’s The Deep is literally a song that was made into a book – The Deep, written by Rivers Solomon, and it’s a good read. As for Bear Away, you may ask why it’s here … it’s Dracula. The whole song is a segment of Dracula. The song title isn’t, but that’s the only thing that isn’t.
