memento mori

Think of how Laika by Wil Wagner breaks my heart. It's about a good pup sent to space by the Soviets, but the lyrics are for Simon.

Some man condemned to death after death, buried alive, and left for dead who made himself into a weapon. He was nothing but ashes and dust.

Until something gives him life again, learning to live only to go back into the hands of death.

"...And as I awake I'm shocked and amazed At the sheer, crushing empty

And I look down on men's little earth Sitting there quietly, wondering what it's worth And I drift away, but that's okay There's more room to play out here than back in my cage

What is it worth, this constant cycle of self-hatred and death, Revenge beyond the horizon of a dark life.

And I know I will die But that is fine 'Cause in some way, I am helping mankind And I don't understand 'Cause I'm not as smart as them But even a parachute would have shown that they cared"

But then, some bright light in the dark, savior, breathes into a peaceful death, and he becomes once again a man.

"And so, I float on Space's only dog Friend to the stars Pet of the sun From my little ship, I dream of my bone A walk in the park, something comfy to sleep on

And they call me Laika, but I'd just like to say That I was born Little Curly, and I'll die with that name Yeah, they call me Laika, but I'd just like to say I was born Little Curly, and I'll die with that name"

Sometimes I get incredibly emotional over the live performances of My Little Sinking Ship I got to see. Like. It's the one song where it's always just Wil alone on stage with just his guitar. It's always such a personal, emotional gutpunch of a song. And it's *always* the one song that everyone sings along to in its entirety

Just. Idk. Something about it being such a personal song, to the point where it's just him and just his guitar *and* the crowd almost drowning him out singing along? It gets to me yk
