svt really need to bring back songs where they just throw a bunch of members into the recording studio to create impromptu units again, bc like. it's so funny. like, 'hello' has dk, mingyu and junhui, and what unit is that? the 97 line but they replaced minghao with jun? and 'fronting' is cheol, wonwoo, mingyu, vernon, hoshi, and woozi. leader line + the rest of the hhu anyone?? and 'space', which is hhu + dk?? do they just like adding one vocalist to the hhu and going ok cool guys have fun now? and 'still lonely', 'drift away', 'flower'.... which all have the most random members and are absolute bangers, btw. unit songs r great, age line songs r underappreciated, but nothing tops the random grouping of members tbh
do you think that we should try? do you think that i am good for you?
(do you think so? i don't. [...] do you love me? don't you? i don't know it's hard to tell.)
Imagine when Frank was walking (walking) from Canada to California and Camp Jupiter, in the middle of winter, that he passes a store front with music spilling out the door and he hears the lyrics, But I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles…
Greedling's introduction is actually really funny because Greed does the typical evil possession rant about "your friend's gone I'm the only one left!" and Ed looks into his eyes midfight and is like "I know Ling's still in there" and it seems like the set up to some long epic struggle where Ed will have to reach out to Ling to prove he's still alive and help him overpower Greed
And then maybe two hours later Greed tracks Ed and Al down like "hey I have a message from Ling could you give it to Lan Fan for us? No clue what it says but that's probably fine. anyway don't try to foil our evil plans! or do I don't actually give a shit. later losers."
- noel: thanks very much. another new song. it's one that he wrote *points at liam*

@inexplicifics 's most recently published chapter in Like Stones in a Running Stream has a single stanza written for one of Jaskier's songs that is so vividly well written that i could hear the melodies that i grew up with almost immediately. Im not particularly talented with instruments beyond banging a hand to the rhythm and my voice is occasionally nonexistent on my bad days but i had to. Blame the former theater kid that is a much younger with less scar tissue in their lungs me.
(A side note. The background noises are me making coffee. I wasn't prepared to be recorded at the time lol.)
The lord swore up, the lord swore down, the lord swore far and near / that not an elf in Ghelibol would come to harm that year / the lord he swore and blustered so and this is why he died: / the lord of Ghelibol that burned, he lied, he lied, he lied.
