This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching – hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve … we’ll meet ourselves.
the enchanted lyric video going from old photos of her on the speak now tour singing enchanted to photos from this year of her singing enchanted has me bawling my eyes out
I watched one of those "POV: it's 2012 and you're watching a lyric video" so I decided to seek out some of those actual lyric videos and ended up seeing a thumbnail that elicits fear in me
I think 99 percent of my fics are named after songs or song lyrics. So I thought, how do those lines look as stills from lyric videos? Well, most look intriguing :) Some do even fit the atmosphere of the fics, but some you can see I chose them only because I really liked the song or whatever. Also, disclaimer: Many songs don’t even have lyric videos. Many are made by fans, and often very good! Some bands don’t really seem to care for lyric videos. Blind Guardian, you have a LOT to catch up in that regard... Well, anyway. Here’s a totally random and only funny to me contemplation on song lyrics.
[1] Did I choose the title of my latest fic because I listened too much to Nils? Yeah, could be. But I mean, look at him...
[2] Sabaton is not only my favorite band, they DO have lyric videos to many of their songs, so kudos to you, Sabaton. The fic in this case was a collaboration piece with @humbae who loves Sabaton maybe almost as much as I do. No gravestones in it, though. I think.
[3] Yeah, that is... very dark. It isn’t even a dark fic, but Breaking Benjamin is just a very depressed band. This lyric video is fan made.
[4] Another fan made video for “Slow Burn” by Apocalyptica. I feel it is a bit too much since the song is about love, not about actually burning. Well... the fic is mostly random.
[5] Fan made video for “Scars” by Papa Roach, nice tree, nice atmosphere. As for the fic, the still lacks vampires, but they couldn’t know I take such a nice line for a fic in which Geralt gets bitten by an alp, you know.
[6] Very nice picture on this fan made video. It is of course a Tolkien themed thing and my fic is nothing like the sort, but I still like the atmosphere here (and I’m super sorry to all Tolkien fans that might stumble upon one of my fics thinking it’s about anything Hobbit or LOTR or Silmarillion related, it’s definitely not).
[7] This one is an original by Breaking Benjamin and I have no idea why they chose that angle. However, I chose that line because that was my Breaking Benjamin phase.
[8] This one would be fitting for a vampire fic, right? Alas, this title I chose for the first bodyguard AU shorty. A song by Cat Stevens, by the way.
