Thought I might as well post this on here after the King himself retweeted it earlier...this is a silly song I wrote to mark today being 25 years since Stephen King almost died after being hit by a minivan while out walking in Maine. This tune is a celebration of some of my favourite King works that we've been treated to since then.
Lyrics:
June 19 99
I’m so glad you didn’t die
June 19 99
I’m so glad you didn’t die
25 bonus years
Telling tales and spreading fear
June 19 99
I’m so glad you didn’t die
First and most important of all
A real move of power
I’m talking about of course
The end of the dark tower
And he dropped an epic tome
A favourite for me
The time travelling thrill of
11 22 63
We also got musings on pain
And recovery
Like the oxy-fuelled dreamcatcher
And wonderful Duma key
Then there’s the unexplained
Their endings might frustrate
Like the Colorado kid
And from a Buick 8
Collections continued to come
His short fiction got smarter
Like Everything’s eventual bazaar of bad dreams
And you like it darker
Lisey’s Story took us inside
Two hearts shared as one
Revival told us to be afraid
When we’re dead and done
He’s even done some hard boiled crime
The Mercedes trilogy
And a sequel to the shining
He called it doctor sleep
And this is only a selection
Of what he’s done since then
So June 19 99
I’m sure glad he didn’t die
Sure, there’s stuff I didn’t like
But I’ll read them as well
Like Holly fracking Gibney
Hell, I’ll even take cell
Now there’s only one more thing
I’d really like to see
That’s Stephen King on my KZitem channel
Being interviewed by me!
