The Book Thief

My personal connection from "The Book Thief" By Markus Zusak is to the war. One of my favorite artists made a song called "The Ghost Of You" by My Chemical Romance, which in the music video is based in the war, it is very moving and can pretty much bring tears to many peoples eyes. This shows many different aspects of the war, like the constant loss of loved ones and the heart break to go along with it. The lines "And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me" is an example of this. It is an example of the things many soldiers went through during the wars loosing their friends and family's to the enemy. The emotions that the band expressed throughout this video and song are touching and very poetic. It connects to "The Book Thief" in a very strong emotional way because throughout Liesel looses many of her loved ones due to war and is very impacted by the experience but has to keep going because she cant "lie and and wait forever".

I never said I'd lie and and wait forever
If I died we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home 
Never coming home
Could I? 
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever 

Ever
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home 
Never coming home
Could I? 
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me

Never coming home 
Never coming home
Could I? 
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall
If I fall
(Down)

woooooooooooooah.woooooooooah.aaaaaaaaaa.

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna
