Dark Cabaret and Sexy Vocals
Day Three of 50 Days of Senryu Inspired by Music
A couple of days ago, I read Sara Wilson's "Love At First Bite," and it made me think of a funny song by Cuban-American performer "Aurelio Voltaire".
If you missed out, here's Sara's Poem:
So, today I'm compiling an introductory playlist for you to get familiar with Voltaire's style.
It contains a few of my favorites, but there is still plenty more awesome music in his official channel.
If you enjoy dark cabaret music and cheeky goth-nerdy lyrics delivered by one of the most debonair, rich, and suave voices out there... you have to give Voltaire's channel a follow!
Also, he is a sweetheart ❤️

When getting serviced,
"One should always leave a tip"
Or so he was told...
When You're Evil
Choose a job you love,
And you'll never have to feel
Like you have to work.
Ex Lover's Lover
A pain we all know:
Rejection can feel like death.
It helps to share it.
Brains!
From deep outer space,
"If you don't use it, lose it"
It came to show us.
Raised by Bats
Sometimes what matters
Is the family you choose
...and their dark values
Goodnight Demonslayer
Defend your children
With their imagination,
Monsters don't have it
The U.S.S. Make Sh*t Up
Altered Gravity
The Universal constant.
As simple as that
Seriously, check out Voltaire's channel!
There are way too many cool songs there to choose from, and my list is nowhere near exhaustive of his diverse themes and emotional range.
Are you a curious and adventurous soul who enjoys discovering new awesome music while reading beautiful poetry?
Then check out the profiles of the other writers who are sharing their musical haiku/senryu!
