Song of the Day: August 17
“The Grand Experiment” by Doomtree
#song of the day#this one also played in the car yesterday while we were picking up Duncan and it got me thinking#what is my favorite line from this song? there are so many killer bars and everyone's delivery is so good#the way Dessa's voice tips down and the backings kick in as she wraps 'and all of Olympus is laughing / til we go and split the atom'#or I really like the shape of 'we built this city on coal and gold'#and towards the end of the song there's 'automate the operator' with that crackly static 'can you hear me clearly' behind it. love that#but I think probably my favorite is the third verse. the way it stacks up the way the emphasis falls and the lovely metaphor of it#'isn't it marvelous - just darling - it's the newest thing / it's totally harmless - but it's charming - it's the cutest thing#but it bites - not hard - just hard enough to break the skin / and your bones / and your back / and the bank#but wait - it comes with a warranty / for a week and that's respectable / it's cheap and it's ethical#well it's ethical / well it's magical really / see you put the cash in the till - fill in the blanks - that's it#for my next trick I'll need your password - and an exit / and then poof! (cue the fog machines)'#that's like nine lines of quality fic inspiration and probably a dissertation or two to boot#anyway I started posting things from the August art prompt fills today I hope everybody enjoyed!#there'll be a few every day until I run out and then it'll only be a couple weeks until swordtember!! my favorite month
