I’ ve come to realise that the lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways. Peggy says, “ I’ ve had two life partners, one male and one female, and I have three children and 9 grandchildren. The final verse is telling often recorded by others as “I knew our joy would fill the earth”, Peggy sings the original and far more poignant “I thought our joy would fill the earth and last til the end of time”. With a simple and moving piano accompaniment, Peggy’s new interpretation of ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,’ reflects on the memory of overwhelming love, now tempered with a deep mature knowledge of its fragility and fleetingness. MacColl also wrote the infamous, ‘Dirty Old Town, ‘ in 1956 which was covered by The Dubliners, Rod Stewart, Roger Whittaker and The Pogues, to name a few. That was the only time he ever sang the song which went on to become one of the greatest love songs of all time. “ It was a hell of a way to woo me back!” says Peggy. He sang it down a crackling transatlantic phone line to Peggy who had returned to the USA, unwilling to continue an affair with a married man. ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ was written for Seeger by her then-estranged lover Ewan MacColl in early 1957.

Theyve got their first taste of fortune and. A big slice of non-stop, action-packed, wise-cracking fun from the Ketty Jay, and Captain Darien Frey. Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. If I was going to become a super hero, I was going to need an edge, an accident to give me super-powers or a magic ring or something. I was simply too doughy and bad at anything physical. Some of that is simply the function of wish-fulfillment: I knew, even as a young kid, that I had no chance of ever being Batman. I would have been 19 years old in 1986 when this first issue of BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS came out, and while I had been a comic book reader for more than a decade at that point, and enjoyed a bevy of Batman stories over the years, the character never completely grabbed me. What I can bring to the table is some personal perspective. This is, I think, one of the most discussed comic book stories of all time, so I don’t know that I’m going to have a whole lot that’s new to add to the conversation. Sid’s words give Nirrim a single threshold of hope on which to balance, a narrow precipice of hope, but can Nirrim climb through the mirror and slide into the skin of the girl she imagines herself to be, brave and unafraid of falling? A girl: a sea-faring schemer named Sid whose eyes fastened on Nirrim across a low-lit prison cell as she whispered of magic left like a door, ajar onto a new and undiscovered world. But there are gaps between the bars: whispers of long-forgotten gods, scarlet where the white paint on the walls of the Ward had chipped, an Elysium bird sailing high over the Ward like an omen. Nirrim worked to fit herself inside the narrow confines of this life, the words “it is what it is” like a mantra, like fingers reaching into her mouth, pinching her tongue and keeping her from crying out. They drip with perfume and are corrupt from soft living, and the best our protagonist, Nirrim, can hope for is a life spent creeping in their generous shadows. The High Kith wear their wealth as comfortably as the expensive leather that is forbidden in the Ward. A world that lays itself open for only one faction: the High Kith. “It is what it is.” With such a simple yet foreboding line, Rutkoski paints a vivid portrait of an intriguing, deadly world in the first installment of The Midnight Lie series. Defeated, he gives up, leaves the military and goes to South America to waste away his life. Although he feels as though he was set up, he hasn't been able to prove it.
