No Choir is the single most underrated song ever made

[adiduck]

I know this is kind of random, but did you ever write more of the legal stuff around declaring a household from No Choir? I’ve always been very curious about your teasing about it every time I reread it.

AHAHAHAHA yes and no ;) I'm still working on No Choir, so eventually there WILL be some more about this, inspiration willing.

That said, I'd absolutely adore anyone else's thoughts on the matter! I think it's a really cool idea for a society that by nature has to be sprawling to have what is essentially a platonic, polyamorous marriage contract that can be undergone whether or not you're related for the purposes of protections and taxes, and it's be really cool if people anted to play in the sandbox! Please feel free to poke at will, everyone!

no choir is actually so real. no ones going to celebrate because you are happy. happiness nowadays is the regular, the bare minimum. when people ask you "how is your day going" no one says bad.

finding happiness in small things is what keep you going.

small things like finding a good rock or reading a nice book, or hoziers new ep (not a small thing lol its the best) makes me happy even if i felt like shit this whole week

i love no choir so much

Hi hi! For the wip guessing game I was thinking about the words: friend, leave and trust :)) 💜

Hello <33 ahh tysm, sorry it's taken a minute!!

Soo these two are continuing the plot from my 'No Choir' x Florence & the Machine drabble. This was fun but not very developed

They rented an old honda from a friend of Simon’s uncle and drove up the 5 to Los Angeles, bumming around on Venice Beach and raiding flea markets full of chipped souvenirs and donated prop pieces. Ayub insisted they go to the Walk of Fame, and in return Simon made him go to his first ever drag show, pink glitter and neon and beautiful, eccentric performers. He caught men looking at him, really looking at him, for perhaps the first time in his life. And for the first time in a long time, he felt something in himself click back into alignment.  The day he left Sweden for the next four years, Wilhelm stepped into his official title as the crown prince, and it was easier than ever to not turn back.

And then for trust, this is a project I am working on that is .. a secret.. but is in the works :-) We'll call this 'Everything'

“No one, and nothing, is important! So why shouldn’t it be us, if it’s all random? If it’s all chaos? Maybe the universe decided to trust us, that we could do this for each other even when it got hard. I don’t pretend to understand, Simon! You just have to help me before it’s too late.”

Thank you Sari :)) getting to the rest of these soon xx

okay yeah "the horrors" " and "the agonies" but have you ever considered that the loneliness never left me? that i always took it with me? but i can put it down in the pleasure of your company? and that there will be no grand choirs to sing? no chorus will come in? no ballad will be written? it will be entirely forgotten?

I love the parallel between “sometimes I think it’s getting better, but then it gets much worse” and “if tomorrow it’s all over, at least we had it for a moment”

so about that TOTALLY PLANNED ot4 ending for tiny prophet luke... >_> (WHY NOT, ADI. WHY NOT.) ok i don't have any questions really i just want more about this verse, it feels like a hug after a long tiring day.

LMFAO that is NOT planned you hellion (<><><>) I am actually extremely fond of No Choir's dynamic being owenberu and codywan, the two couples joined in domestic unithood and never the twain shall meet. I think that there is not NEARLY enough demonstrations of mixed families where NOT all the people involved in raising the kid are screwing each other, weirdly! There was a time in our history where it was expected that your entire extended family would all be involved in living life and sharing the burdens of adulthood, and along the way somewhere we have lost that idea in favor of the nuclear family. I intend to let these four adults be family without it having to be about sex. In this essay I will--

okay okay anyway. No Choir is my love, my light, and I will one day return to the next installment, which is from Owen's POV as he tries to build an extension onto his homestead while his entire family has a meltdown around him and Beru mostly shrugs sheepishly about it, having kind of caused half of it by accident. <3 ONE DAY

hi, i hear the songs and...Ribs and No Choir hit hard, why did you choose those two?

they really do, right?? i think they describe me in different ways

i heard Ribs for the first time in a moment of big change in my life, leaving my parents house in a country town to live in a big city by myself, becoming an adult, despite not feeling like one. and it's being a decade now since i first felt this fear and sadness of having to be alone and fend for myself, but this song never stopped resonating with me. mourning my childhood, while at the same time realizing how much of who i am today and what i think and what i yearn for is still rooted on that kid. we have come so far and yet we never really left, you know?

No Choir is to me the song that most accurately paints the picture of what long-lasting, peaceful love feels like. it makes me feel so thankful for the people i have in my life. but the part i relate to the most is the confession about the true selfish reasons behind this search for companionship. i feel vulnerable when i'm alone, scared, i need love because i'm terrified of what would become of me without it. growing up is realizing happiness is a lot more subtle and less "adventurous" than what we idealized it would be, and there's not much to be said. things are so hard, and even if it doesn't last, i'm thankful for having it now

it amazes me how these artists are able to unravel and express such overwhelming, complex emotions using words and sounds. i'll never understand how it's done, i'm just glad they do it
