| | The Mercyground - Monica Richards: Punk Rock to Gothic |
 | | My lyrics often spoke of a longing for ages past, for heroes and heroines fighting for their lives, of the search for one's place in the world, for the need for understanding, full of literary references and poetic refrains. |
 | | Having a degree in Literature, I studied my share of poets, and the Gothic writers of the old days, their sense of escapism into chivalry, Romantic love, ideals of the past, a sense of drama and mysticism, ghosts and regal beings, it all very much made sense to me. |
 | | Gothic, to me, is a deeper sense of the bigger things in life, full of Old Souls and romantic hearts. |
