Song #106

Ioanna Gika has a beautiful voice. Very ethereal but pared with a more heavy instrumental it's a great combination.

"Roseate" by Ioanna Gika.

I've been making really over-thought TLT character playlists for about a year now as a background program to keep my brain entertained while I'm at work, and I realized that I have kind of a lot now, so I figured I'd share them here if anyone is interested.

Here's the ones I made for Harrow and Gideon. I'm really happy that I was able to get them to have the same number of songs, and also nearly the same run time! If you listen to them in order, they follow each character's emotional narrative.

Song lists below the cut

Harrow

Walk With Fire, Hunter As A Horse:

For when you're a suicidal ten-year-old committing the gravest sin and having complicated feelings about your life's purpose.

REPENT NOW CONFESS NOW, Lingua Ignota:

For when you're a mentally ill teenager leading the congregation of an apocalypse cult while stewing in your own hypocrisy and guilt.

Anti Body, Gazelle Twin:

For when it's your first time away from your home planet and the fate of you and your entire House depends on getting along with your childhood nemesis.

I Walk The Line, Those Poor Bastards:

For when your cavalier is hanging out with another necromancer and you feel weirdly jealous about it. (Fun Fact: There also ended up being a Johnny Cash reference in Gideon's playlist, which was completely unintentional)

True Love, Eivør:

For when the person you love most is with you for eternity, but not in the way you want. (Favorite line for maximum emotional damage: "House of pain, this body is too small a chamber")

Out of Focus, Ioanna Gika:

For when God denies you your only wish, so you decide to take matters into your own hands.

The Time Machine, Hunter As A Horse:

For when you construct an elaborate alternate reality to keep yourself from remembering your ex. (If someone had told me this was written about Harrow in HtN I would've believed them.)

When That Head Splits, Esben and the Witch:

For when you make your worstie give you a back alley lobotomy to save your cavalier's soul.

Oh You Are Not Well, Chloe Foy:

For when you come back wrong from traumatic brain surgery and all you can do is vomit, murder, and follow cryptic instructions from your past self.

MANY HANDS, Lingua Ignota:

For when you beg God for salvation and he tells you to learn how to make soup. (Favorite line for John and Harrow's relationship: "The Lord spat and held me by my neck. 'I wish things could be different', he wept")

God's Dark Heaven, Those Poor Bastards:

For when you're having a crisis of faith while you wait for a cosmic horror eldritch being to show up at God's vacation home.

SOHEAVYSOHOLLOW, Varien, Tori Letzler:

For when your only comfort is the hallucination (?) of your dead monster girlfriend.

I'm Not Done, Fever Ray:

For when you're dead, but it's not the end.

Gideon

Toll, So Below:

For when you're an abused orphan living in an apocalypse cult.

rise, Origa:

For when you're a teenager and you dream of escaping indentured servitude by achieving military glory.

Dark Room, Foreign Figures, Johnny T:

For when your childhood nemesis foils your 86th escape attempt and you get the depression.

Throne, Saint Mesa:

For when you're and epic, badass swordswoman, but your childhood nemesis makes you pretend to be her cavalier at a nerd convention.

Let You In, Marc Straight, Ellen Rose:

For when your childhood nemesis bares her soul to you and you don't know how to feel about it.

Bad Apple!!, RichaadEB, Cristina Vee:

For when you're trapped in a murder house going into a suicidal spiral.

Martyr, Roniit, Saint Mesa:

For when you decide to sacrifice yourself to save your necromancer whether she wants you to or not.

We Are Forever, Hunter As A Horse:

For when you're at peace with your sacrifice. (If someone had told me this was written about Gideon at the end of GtN I would have believed them.)

Lights Out, (DOLCH):

For when it doesn't work and now your still-conscious soul is trapped in her broken mind.

Song for Zula, Phosphorescent:

For when you give her everything you have and she doesn't even want it. (Here's the Johnny Cash reference for Gideon.)

Family Tree (Intro), Ethel Cain:

For when it turns out that your parents actually are super important and powerful, and also they suck.

Exorcise, Gazelle Twin:

For when you get halfway resurrected and it sucks.

Glory Amem, Those Poor Bastards:

For when you're Her Divine Highness, only child of God, and it sucks.

A Valyrian Mourning Song, here translated and transcribed by Septa Vaenna of King's Landing. Notable for being sung at the funeral of King Aenys I Targaryen by Queen Alyssa Velaryon. (Taken from Ioanna Gika's song 'Gone', edited by me.)

Dark the stars and dark the moon Hush the night and the morning loon Tell the riders and beat on your drum Gone their master, gone their son Dark the oceans, dark the sky Hush the whales and the ocean tide Tell the dragons and beat on your drum Gone their master, gone their son Dark to light and light to dark Three black carriages, three white carts What brings us together is what pulls us apart Gone our brother, gone our heart

I don't think I'll ever get over the lack of public support from people in the industry for Michael after his breakdown happened. People like Steve Buscemi and Steven Yeun...people I had real respect for. I saw an actors-on-actors post today and one was Steven Yeun, and while I shared on my Instagram (because I do respect him as an actor) a part of me desperately wanted to ask how he could do that to someone he loudly proclaimed a friend.

But then Ioanna Gika didn't say shit either, and, despite what she thinks these days, she's not hugely famous (what a fucking disappointment all around she turned out to be).

I gained a whole level of respect for Jack Huston for stepping up by hiring him. By which I mean it didn't have to be a public statement, just a gesture, a gesture of, "I'm here for you."

I noted when Michael the good friends who put up with him, he didn't say in the industry as well as in general or some such.

It reminds of something that happened to Gia Carangi. Way Bandy - a make up artist - was a dear friend of hers. When he died from AIDS nobody called her to inform her (she hadn't been out of the industry long when this happened). It made her realise how disposable she - all of them - had been.
