Fuck Ed Sheeran. Celestial was written and composed by Denise Hitoki sorry I don’t make the rules
#mel’s musings#this is a joke i know almost nothing about the man and what kind of person he is and would prefer to keep it that way#but i do know music. and while his voice is just average at best to me that song is one of his better ones#the harmonies are simplistic but sweet and nostalgic. and the lyrics are very pokemon even if they don’t fully fit scarvi’s themes#and the idea of dena thinking about her human and pokemon friends and writing that song about them makes me MELT#i honestly WISH I could do more with syl’s compositions and dena’s songwriting. but i don’t have much composition experience myself#so that’s obviously a pretty big barrier#but i can say that dena’s style is a lot more uplifting than what you’d expect given her personality#while syl’s is intricate and romantic but often bittersweet if not straight up heartbreaking. music is her main emotional outlet after all#and it connects them to their family too! syl inherited her dad’s musical inclination even though she doesn’t remember him#and kid dena saw how much syl loved music and demanded to learn an instrument too. so her dad taught her guitar!#i am a simple woman. i think about dena’s guitar connecting her to her dad and her cousin AND her uncle and i become inconsolable#but regardless. i can’t listen to celestial without having a whole ass amv playing in my head now#i’m on vacation in the same condo i first dreamed up the paldea au and that song was a big part of it. so it’s been on my mind lately#forest for the tree#little songbird#mel plays scarvi
