#less long songs too

[crawley-fell]

So if you loved me so much Why'd you go?

The beautiful Lady Marissa in hollow knight

The most beautiful and peaceful memory in the game is associated with her wonderful song

And, yes, I'm going through the game for the fifth time хD

This time, my thoughts turned to Marissa, because even after so many walkthroughs, her song and look fascinate me

This is a portrait that Lurien drew for Marissa shortly before becoming a Dreamer. As a last gift and thanks for all she does for the city, and still can, to spend the last quiet moments together before the eternal goodbye

I think she and Lurien were close friends, and he liked to draw quick sketches during her concerts. Perhaps he would have liked to portray her one last time as bright and cheerful as she usually was, but her beloved city and its people were already slowly dying, and a good friend was sacrificing his life for some higher purpose, so she just couldn't portray joy, and she didn't want Lurien's last portrait to be fake

#I returned from the exhibition of Russian art and could not help but take one of the paintings as a reference #I couldn't have portrayed Marissa as less beautiful #She's only worthy of this level #I want to draw these two together they're really good friends #Marissa's last song is so desperate and all-encompassing #Like a lament for this fallen city #but with a touch of melancholy to soothe lost souls #I think there's a longing for a friend in that cry too #hollow knight #hk #hk marissa #hk lurien #hk dreamers

arctic monkeys and every time the word ‘love’ is mentioned

whatever people say I am that’s what I’m not

tonight there’ll be some love, tonight there’ll be a ruckus yeah regardless of what’s gone before

~ view from the afternoon

all that’s left is the proof that love’s not only blind but deaf… yeah I’d love to tell you all my problem

~ fake tales of san francisco

she makes a subtle proposition, I’m sorry love I’ll have to turn you down

~ when the sun goes down

lady, where has your love gone, i was looking but can’t find it anywhere, they always offer when there’s loads of love around but when you’re short of some it’s nowhere to be found

~ no buses

well how can you wake up with someone you don’t love and not feel slightly phased by it

~ leave before the lights come on

~ the bad thing

old yellow bricks, love’s a risk… houdini love you don’t know what you’re running away from

~ old yellow bricks

~ the bakery

am I too quick to assume that the love is no longer in bloom

~ too much to ask

humbug

i had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat and my love dropped into the lining

~ i haven’t got my strange

suck it and see

i wanna feel your love brick by brick

~ brick by brick

do you still feel love is a laserquest or do you take it all more seriously… when I’m not being honest I pretend that you were just some lover

~ love is a laserquest

your love is like a studded leather headlock

~ suck it and see

jealousy in technicolour, fear by name, love by numbers… crushing up a bundle of love

~ that’s where you’re wrong

before she showed you how to shake love’s steady hand

~ the blonde o sonic shimmer trap

your love’s not what I need, so don’t give it to me

~ evil twin

it’s not like I’m falling in love I just want you to do me no good… the look of love, the rush of blood

~ no.1 party anthem

love buckles under the strain of those wild nights

~ mad sounds

I heard that you fell in love, or near enough

~ snap out of it

love like locked horns, love like dominoes… love like thunder, love like falling snow

~ electricity

I know you’re nothing like mine cause she’s walking on sunshine and your love would tear us apart

~ you’re so dark

tranquility base hotel and casino

love came in a bottle with a twist off cap, let’s all have a swig and do a hot lap… but it’s alright, cause you love me

~ star treatment

when true love takes a grip it leaves you without a choice

~ golden trunks

pattern language in the mood for love

~ the world’s first ever monster truck front flip

I wanna stay with you my love, the way some science fiction does

~ science fiction

the dawn won’t stop weighing a tonne, I’ve done some things that I shouldn’t have done, but I haven’t stopped loving you once

~ the ultracheese

the car

lights out on the wonder park, your saw toothed lover boy was quick off the mark

~ jet skis on the moat

put your heavy metal to the test, there might be half a love song in it all for you

~ mr schwartz

#arctic monkeys #alex turner #listen this was purely out of curiosity #there are so many poetic and imaginative ways in which alex describes love #i just wanted a tangible record of every time he just straight up uses the word #i was surprised that humbug only had one mention and even that was a b side but when i was making this i realised that it was such a #lyrically dense and innovative album and descriptions of love were more elaborate and straightforward #*less straightforward #(might make a separate post about that) #also found that the other albums were quite consistent except the car #i found it interesting that most of the songs aren’t actually about the same kind of love like the earlier albums were #the earlier ones use love as a nickname and portray the physical embodiment of being in love #and even in tbhc it describes this feeling despite there being slightly fewer mentions #but the car seems more like a goodbye album… not even about breaking up… just goodbye which is very…. #there’s no room for love in amongst the melancholia and introspection #and makes me wonder about his relationship with love at the moment #it seems very disassociated and immaterial like he has no interest in spouting poetics about love like he did before #and i hope he can rebuild that relationship #i could probably say more but im not going to bc this is getting way too long #cheers if you actually read this whole fucking essay #i spent way too long on this if you cant tell

the countless stars of heaven's field

were mirrored in his silver shield.

#gil-galad #shiny sparkly gil-galad #his sword was long his lance was keen #his shining helm afar was seen #the last high king of the elves #the last whose realm was fair and free #(more or less) the last family elrond had left #after he died the second age ends and the elves continue to fade #hm. many thoughts #or maybe i just listened to adele mcallister's rendition of the gil galad song too many times. #tolkien #the silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #elves #@ everyone who sent requests i am working on them! hopefully will be posting those by next week #clarisse doodles

Character reference sheets and two frames from the animatic! :3

#work in progress #sketches #my art #a #qsmp chayanne #missasinfonia #qsmp #have drawn this kind of sketchy bits for like... maybe three scenes so far? like most of the frames for three scenes I mean #there's at least 20 scenes with their own moving bits and stuff so that'll be fun #but this is a nice start! and I really like the song and I like looking at my sillies so it's nice to draw too :) #started going crazy a bit after like two hours of drawing so I'm stopping for now and will continue next week again. Hopefully get another- #-- scene properly sketched out then #In other news I completed a small section (like less than a quarter of a page long) of my thesis and oh the feeling of accomplishment!! #it was a daunting part because I didn't know how to write it out but I did it!! Finally!! #and also had some trouble with translating my thoughts to english so I asked my mom for help and we brainstormed it :D #she's a great help with language stuff; both bc she's like generally good at english and also she's not dyslexic like me so that helps :D

questionable sources say that koichiro has been freed and i w a n t in

Number of stories I would like to write: Many.

Number of stories I find myself able to write: Zero.

#adventures in writing #i've got less than a week to write a four loves story #(i want to have one done by valentine's day) #i have multiple stories that have been battering my imagination #i've been home sick and so have time to write #and i get in front of the computer and the energy is gone #everything i write takes so *long* #i got a semi-decent opening to the cinderella story but there's no way i could write anything worth showing in time #i tried a beauty and the beast short piece but the tone isn't coming together #i would like to try the goose girl but there's a key plot point that's shaky #i should just finish up the 12DP #whether or not part two works for people #our good friend sunk cost fallacy is telling me i should just go through with it as the story with minimal work requirement #but i'd also like to write something *else* you know? #too many grandiose ideas not enough words #same song different day

ended up telling my mom “she’s a billionaire pop star … she’s also a songwriter I’ve loved for a long time. both of those things are true.”

#not a conversation I can have for a long time as it’s too uncomfortable #but it was good to push through and say it #it’s interesting. I will always have a deep emotional connection to Taylor and also always love her as a person and an artist #and she IS a billionaire pop star with all of the attendant choices that go with that #and as i’ve gotten older there’s just been way more distance #in terms of my need to defend her choices or agree with them or even understand them #I have grown less defensive of her (in a good way) #and I think am more able to just See What Is To Be Seen #without. again. feeling the need to take it all on as something I have to defend on behalf of someone I am Holding Up as an Example #I’m not holding her up? like. #idk if this makes sense #But I remember reaching this point where I was just like ‘gosh I hope she never writes a song that contradicts any of the songs’ #‘upon which I have built this artistic vision’ #‘of her and what she stands for’ #and it was so funny because it was this TERRIFIED desire on my part to freeze time #and freeze Taylor #so that my reading would be true forever #just wanted to put her in a cottage on the top of a hill and keep her safe there forever #metaphorically but also literally! #and then I’ve just had to let that go #best believe she’s still bejeweled lol #that was for me TOO #and anyway her sheer prolificness made it clear I was never going to be able to keep this watchful eye on it all #it was just going to have to pour in and I was going to have to let it #and also on some level emotionally personally I was going to have to step back #and be less invested in a certain way #in a very real daily life kind of way #anyway after the eras tour was so funny because i had this strong sense that we were being SWEPT out of the stadium #with Taylor’s trademark Efficiency. and it was hilarious. Like yes yes the love and connection and talent is real #and Billionaire Pop Star has places to be and a crowd of peasants to manage!!! (I say this with love and a sense of humor) anyway

[best-fnaf-song-competition]

Oh you KNOW this playlist is full of bangers when I've got 4-5 of them stuck in my head at once

#CANT WAIT TO DO THE TOURNAMENT NOW #the rotation is like #brought this on yourself - remnants of gold - five nights - five unholy nights - chronicles of bonnie #theres a few more that pop in for less time too #this hasnt happened since the first time i listened to nothing but the mechanisms for a week #IVE ALREADY LEARNED SOME OF THE WORDS TO THESE SONGS TOO AND ITS BEEN 2 DAYS #this tournament is going to be so fun #not a poll #OH YEAH special tag update on that btw #all the images are obtained and the bracket image has been made! #so all thats left to do is - edit the images to all be 500x500 - organize the images and songs Into the bracket #- make the poll matchup images - get the polls up and scheduled!!! #once i have the bracket image itself ill put that up an hour or two before the polls drop #so you have time to look if youd like! #okay this was a long update whatever anyway #if you havent listened to these songs yet you are MISSING OUT #theres some that definitely feel like Babys First Song because its a lot of smaller artists #but dont get me wrong. one of the ones with the worst mic quality is probably one of my FAVORITES #i KNOW the big artists are probably going to sweep for sure #but i HOPE its a hard won fight #2023 tournament

im having a moment rn a lot about fourth of july sorry for a personal ish post but they really wrote that song for my relationship with my ex best friend fr

#im just kidding but the lyrics do hit close to home i think of her a lot when i listen #less often these days but still #our whirlwind weird friendship was really like fireworks that went off too soon and that first summer we hung out every single day #and also i remember singing that song with her and stuff #and every time ive come in contact since we dont really talk the torture of small talk with someone you used to love is so real #i also think of her when i listen to favorite record too a little bit #abap the longing summer-themed album that u are :( <3 #sorry for rambling im ok im mostly over it ive just been thinking about it a lot #i think i was always a little bit in love with her too

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive' #turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy) #the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone' #it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' #(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right) #already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me) #and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process) #and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft' #but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

[mugenloopdalove]

Vocaloid fans are the most illiterate mothefuckers out there tho so what do I expect

#gerard's diary #9 out of 10 songs that are aestheticized are actually personal #and then theres like. the other end of shit #the ppl who tried to call out kikuo for writing abt their trauma in a nuanced way #cant believe i let those bitches ruin a bpd anthem for me lmao #one i can fucking BELT TF OUT OF BTW #thinkin abt how i ended 6 hours of karaoke in vrc w the bestie w aishite #and just. hit the last notes so well #he rlly thought i wouldnt be able to too since we had been going for so long and aishite is a toughie esp towards the end #tho tbh aishite to me is less Abt the 'quality' of singing and more Abt the emotion #its def a 'theatre' song if that makes sense

[andoutofharm]

i can officially play two (2) songs on my bass i am so proud

#dance dance and kill all your friends #i can also play random bits of other songs #and am working through an actual Lesson Book too but that's less fun #between concerts and moving (and all that comes with that) and stream nights i havent been able to practice much recently #but !! i did for a long time tonight and got both of these two songs sounding at least kinda decent #so i am happy

[dolls-self-ships]

contemplating how I draw my rankin bass’s

#I wanted my s/i to be more 1840s/50’s bc I love the winter aesthetic of that time period 🥺 #also her hair is more inspired by Vera Ellen bc I love her <333 #I also wanted to make snow miser a bit more unhinged looking since I feel I draw him too.. #how do I say.. conventionally handsome #he’s still a good looking guy uwu but I wanted him to have that crazed look he had in the original #😚😚😚 #bees self ships #self shipping #self ship #self ship community #self ships #self insert #self ship art #bees art #snow miser #rankin bass #as long as it’s winter I will be making content of him 😌 #also I have a little song-inspired comic in my head so I might draw that #OH ALSO also I’m gonna omit the white suit and just draw him in his canon sweater #it’s cuter also just less of a hassle to draw

[guzhufuren]

what i think jyp should do is they should put all those big money they spend on cgi of skz music videos into freeing up Bang Chan's schedule and sending him and his hotsauce writing polycule on a high quality vacation that will keep them relaxed and their creative juices bubbling every comeback season. the man has been producing bangers year after year he needs to be pampered along with his crew instead of us being shown realistic tentacles or dragons or whatever in the mv

#stray kids #mine #this is actually what i want from ALL kpop groups. care less about mv visuals and make great music that will make everyone who hears it - #stand up and dance or lie down and weep depending on the genre #i need the music in my earphones bangin' #idol companies put too much effort into mv visuals this needs to stop just put these men in crop tops and let them dance a little that's- #enough as long as the song is strong #you are making KPOP MUSIC not a superhero film #like i really can't imagine how 3racha and skz could keep it up the amount of their songwriting is INSANE it deserves to be nurtured #i'm putting this in the tag please don't k//ill me like when i made that meme calling han the token straight

nigel & alex - to be haunted by your love

henri nouwen // like minds (2006) // death - melanie martinez // pope alexander - crywank // her mother's kiss - eugene carriere // sometimes i fall asleep thinking about you - catarine hancock // the song of achilles - madeline miller // achilles lamenting the death of patroclus - gavin hamilton // lee martens

#am i happy with this? no. am i posting anyway? you bet your ass i am #another largely experimental post so take it with a grain of salt #honestly i could've just posted the achilles comparison part on its own and liked it better #cause that's really the part i wanted to get to #BUT the song lyrics are so load-bearing to this post. they started the whole thing. so it didn't feel right kicking them to the curb #so you get the whole shamozle lmao #anyway this post is more or less a take on the idea of when people say no one ever truly dies so long as your memory of them lives on #so long as you always carry your love for them in your heart #and how it's always meant to be a good thing you know? a positive thing #but what happens when it's not. what happens when their memory is a weight you drag forward? when that love is a haunting #when an absence becomes a presence in of itself #and you wish you could be rid of it. but you can't. and now they're in everything you do. they're everywhere you go #a permeation over every aspect of your life? how are you supposed to handle that kind of feeling #in the end this was more or less me scratching an itch wondering what life for alex was like after nigel was gone #and how fundamentally nigel does end up gaining immortality by living on in alex's memory #and arguably by becoming a part of him too #maybe my brain just hasn't fully recovered yet from being sick 🤡 #like minds #murderous intent #nigel colbie #alex forbes #web weave #quotes
