The Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween Legend has it that deep within the heart of the ancient Celtic lands, there lies a cursed tale that has been passed down through generations. This tale, known as "The Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween," tells a haunting story of love, betrayal, and vengeance. Long ago, in a small village called Crom, the people lived in harmony and celebrated a joyous festival each year known as Samhain. This festival marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the Celtic New Year. It was a time of feasting, bonfires, and merrymaking. But hidden within the depths of this seemingly idyllic village, a tragic love story unfolded.
I said: Remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
Long Live is actually a song that Taylor wrote about her tour experiences while performing and the feelings she experienced at the time and her thoughts on her past and future. Promise me this That you ll stand by me forever But if, God forbid, fate should step in And force us into a goodbye If you have children someday When they point to the pictures Please, tell em my name.
But hidden within the depths of this seemingly idyllic village, a tragic love story unfolded. A young woman named Maeve fell deeply in love with a brave warrior, Declan. Their love was forbidden, as Maeve was promised to another.
My interpretation of Long Live from speak now.
I first listened to Long Live almost month ago. When I first listened to it I was unaware of the fact that Taylor wrote this song for her fans and her band. I just listened to that song and instantly felt like this song is describing a wedding of a couple who have fought really hard with society for their marriage. Below are some of the lyrics which I am interpreting from my point of view. She starts the song with the lines:-
'I said remember this moment In the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild We were the kings and the queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew Our lives would never be the same'
In this verse the narrator girl is trying to describe the scene of her wedding. She says to the groom to remember this moment forever. She further describes how they both were nervous standing infront of friends and relatives who have gathered to attend the wedding. She then says that they were the king and the queen for the day. They then danced knowing their life is going to change now because they are getting married.
'You held your head like a hero On a history book page It was the end of a decade But the start of an age'
Here she describes that the groom held his head like a hero. When she says it was the end of a decade but the start of an age she means to say that the struggle phase of their relationship is over now and they are going to start a new life together.
'Long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered'
In the chorus part she says that long live the walls we crashed through and the kingdom lights shined just for me and you she means to say that they had crashed many walls and did a lot of struggle for their marriage and now they are marrying and all the kingdom lights are just shining for them.
'Will you take a moment Promise me this That you'll stand by me forever But if God forbid fate should step in And force us into a goodbye If you have children some day When they point to the pictures Please tell them my name Tell them how the crowds went wild Tell them how I hope they shine'
Here she asks the groom to promise her that he will always stand by her. She also requests the groom that if they ever seprate he should tell her name to his kids and tell them how the crowds went wild when she sang in concerts, maybe Taylor Swift herself is the bride here.
There is also a line in the song which goes as "I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you" here she describes that she did a lot of struggle for their dream of being one to come true, she almost fought dragons.
This is what I felt upon listening to this song and this is my interpretation of this song. When I tried to search on google the actual meaning of this song I was really disappointed to know that the song doesn't meant something like that and Taylor has wrote this song for her fans and band. So I am posting my interpretation here to know what you guys think? What's your opinion? I am interpreting the song right?
There is something to be said for a great song that has staying power. “American Pie” remained on top for 50 years and now Taylor Swift has unseated such a historic piece of artistry. Let’s face it, nobody ever wants to lose that #1 spot, but if I had to lose it to somebody, I sure am glad it was another great singer/songwriter such as Taylor.
Despite the odds, Maeve and Declan continued their secret affair, meeting under the cloak of darkness. When Maeve's betrothed, Ciaran, discovered their forbidden love, he flew into a rage. Consumed by jealousy, he sought the help of a powerful witch, Morana, who cursed the village of Crom and all its inhabitants. This curse would forever link the villagers to the realm of darkness and bind them to the manifestation of their deepest fears and nightmares. As Samhain approached, the villagers eagerly prepared for their annual celebration. Little did they know that this year would be different. The curse of Crom had taken hold, and the once joyful festivities turned into a nightmarish ordeal. With each passing year, the curse grew stronger, and the villagers became trapped in an eternal cycle of fear and despair. They were haunted by their own fears, forced to confront their deepest nightmares every Halloween night. The once thriving village of Crom was now a desolate place, shrouded in darkness and misery. The legend of the Curse of Crom serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the destructive power of jealousy and the consequences of betraying love. It also highlights the importance of forgiveness, for without it, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Today, the village of Crom remains a haunted place, a mere shadow of its former self. Those who dare to enter its boundaries on Halloween night must be prepared to face their deepest fears and confront the curse that still lingers. So, as the night of Samhain approaches, remember the tale of Maeve, Declan, and the Curse of Crom. And be cautious, for even the most innocent of actions can lead to a lifetime of regret and a curse that will never be broken..
Reviews for "The Sinister Legacy of Crom's Curse: A Halloween Mystery"
- Mark - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to watch "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween" because I love scary movies, but I was left extremely disappointed. The plot was incredibly confusing and hard to follow. It felt like the movie was trying to be both a horror film and a comedy, but it failed at both. The character development was weak and I couldn't connect with any of them. Overall, I found "Curse of Crom" to be a forgettable and underwhelming movie.
- Emily - 1 out of 5 stars - I honestly cannot find anything positive to say about "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween." The acting was subpar, the special effects were cheesy, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. I felt like the movie had no direction and was just a jumbled mess of random scenes. I was bored throughout the entire film and couldn't wait for it to be over. Save your time and money and avoid this mess of a movie.
- Jason - 2 out of 5 stars - "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween" had potential, but it fell short in so many ways. The storyline was predictable and lacked any real depth. The scares were cliché and didn't leave any lasting impact. The pacing was off, making the movie feel unnecessarily long. I had high hopes for this film, but unfortunately, it didn't deliver. I'll be skipping any future sequels or related movies.
