musings about the actor and the characters he brings to life
I meant to write this as soon as King dropped… but it turned out to be the busiest week of the semester.
So I’ve been sitting with it. And honestly? I’m glad I did.
Because when I have all the feelings about a song, I need to sit down and write about it.
Happy Shakespeare Day! We are celebrating the great man’s life and influence on English language today.
If you wanna have your own personal Shakespeare party, I highly recommend you to download The Love Book App and have Damian Lewis read Sonnet 130: My Mistress’ Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun directly to your ears! Or if you want to party with us here then let’s travel back to a special Shakespeare party kicked off by a certain Damian Lewis!
Better yet, get the app and party with us, too 😀
April 23, 2014 Wednesday. I have to sit in front of my computer all day at work so I just let myself indulged in everything Shakespeare for occasional procrastination, from finding out about words that we owe to him, e.g. bedazzled, fashionable, pageantry to New York Public Theater’s celebration tweets with favorite Shakespeare quotes and verses, and to a extremely special birthday party at Guildhall Library — Complete Reading of Shakespeare’s Sonnets — kicked off by a certain someone 🙂 Continue reading “Happy Shakespeare Day with Damian Lewis!”
Two years ago, during the second leg of the Mission Creep UK tour, I had the chance to sit down with Damian Lewis for a conversation about his music.
We spoke backstage at Epic Studios in Norwich after the gig, with a glass of the band’s signature “D Lew” drink in hand.

As the new, glossy remake of The Forsytes makes its way to PBS, I thought — what better time for a Throwback Thursday tribute to our own Soames Forsyte? Because long before this new version, Damian Lewis gave us a Soames who was complicated, intense, and unforgettable. So how did he get there?

Damianista’s note (April 5, 2026): This post was originally posted on March 27 and has been updated since – with new information.
It’s finally happening.
After months of clues, gigs, and just enough teasing to keep us guessing, Damian Lewis has made it official — Sweet Chaos, the first single from his second album is here.
I’ve just listened to Sweet Chaos. In fact, it’s past midnight and the song is already on repeat in my house — I’m trying to take in the lyrics to the best of my ability (more on that later).
It all started with Damian’s Instagram post — the confirmation we’ve been waiting for a long time.
Then the cover appeared in his story — the pre-save link, the image, the first real visual of the upcoming album.
