Novella
A novella is a work of written, fictional, narrative prose normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. The English word "novella" derives from the Italian "novella", feminine of "novello", which means "new". The novella is a common literary genre in several European languages.
History
The novella as a literary genre began developing in the early Renaissance by the Italian and French literatura, principally Giovanni Boccaccio, author of The Decameron (1353).The Decameron featured one hundred tales (novellas) told by ten people (seven women and three men) fleeing the Black Death by escaping from Florence to the Fiesole hills in 1348. This structure would then be imitated by subsequent authors, notably the French queen Marguerite de Navarre, who wrote a Heptaméron (1559) that included seventy-two original French tales and was modeled after the structure of The Decameron.
Not until the late 18th and early 19th centuries did writers fashion the novella into a literary genre structured by precepts and rules, generally in a realistic mode. At that time, the Germans were the most active writers of the Novelle (German: "Novelle"; plural: "Novellen"). For the German writer, a novella is a fictional narrative of indeterminate length—a few pages to hundreds—restricted to a single, suspenseful event, situation, or conflict leading to an unexpected turning point (Wendepunkt), provoking a logical but surprising end. Novellen tend to contain a concrete symbol, which is the narrative's focal point.
Novella (album)
Novella is the seventh studio album by the British progressive rock band Renaissance, released in 1977.
Release history
Due to the bankruptcy of the band's UK label BTM, this album was released in the USA some months before its UK release, leading to a number of UK fans importing copies. At the time of this original issue, Sire was distributed in the USA by ABC Records; the cover featured unique artwork by Pamela Brown different from that which would be used for its subsequent UK issue. Shortly thereafter, Sire changed distribution in the USA to Warner Brothers and the cover artwork was revised to use the same painting by Brown as that employed in its UK issue. The 2nd USA issue can most easily be identified by the rendering of the band which takes up the entire back cover; the original ABC Distribution cover features a much smaller painting of the band on the back.
After the demise of BTM, the band agreed in principle to sign for CBS Records UK. However they actually agreed to a contract with Warner Brothers.

Novella
by: Funeral For A FriendWasting time
It's over and ended
Wasting time
We deserve
Hold that line
They ask us in safety
Hold that line when we talk
I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
And if this distance isn't enough
They'll cry another river to see you drown
(See you drown)
Faceless lies
It's easy to speak when
Every word is your own
Selfish eyes
Look onward in protest as we
Tear down their disguise
Their disguise
I can see the headlights
I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
And if this distance isn't enough
They'll cry another river to see you drown
(See you drown)
I can see the headlights and pavements
My legs can't carry me that far
And if this distance isn't enough
They'll cry another river to see you drown
(See you drown)
Your days were golden
Days were golden
While we bled
Your days were golden
Days were golden
While we bled
While we bled
