#communicating through song lyrics

Re: Nic’s song posts on IG

I share so many of your thoughts on the timeline, the emotional shifts, the body language, and the perceptions they all left us with. To add to all of what we saw, to me Nic’s habit of posting songs to her IG stories on what appeared to be travel days right before seeing Luke again was like Easter eggs into her frame of mind.

I’d love to read your thoughts on how those song choices fit into the timeline. Especially telling to me was her posting Your Face by The Frames on June 10 right before they were back in London for the last two days of promo before the premiere. The chorus of that song is “I’m Gonna Wait For You”. To me that fits in with the narrative that Luke needed to figure out the whole Antonia of it all and Nic had communicated to him that she was going to wait for him to figure it out. Couple that with their red carpet interview in London, where Nick gives the dating advice to “don’t compromise yourself, wait for the right person because you’re worth it”. Luke’s reaction and answer and body language in response screamed at me. Do you agree? Would love to read your thoughts.

Ohhhh yes a lot of people have been asking me to do an analysis of the songs (I just LOVE N- she's such a MySpace millennial after my own heart lol). I don't think I can do all the songs, but can someone DM me what song she posted for Brazil and Toronto (and if it was before or after the stop)? I'll try to do an analysis of the songs from Brazil to Ireland!

And short answer is yes, I think N is focusing on herself rn and waiting for L to get his s**t together, but I am pretty confident that L/N are on the same page about wanting to pursue something with each other in the near future once L is able to figure everything out with A. And his reaction to that comment of hers on the red carpet MIGHT have had something to do with this. However, I think the vibes were weird for a LOT of reasons at the London red carpet (which I will get into on my longer post about the London premiere).

sometimes I forget that 'dear friend' was written when john was very much still alive and listening to that. he already thought every other song was secretly about him how on earth was he supposed to interpret that other than what it obviously is. how are we supposed to interpret that other than what it obviously is

[stardust-moth]

looking at some takes on characters or relationships or scenes in which things happen between them and just thinking,

How in the hell are people interpreting it this way??? But then i step back and realize that the story or character in question is fundamentally and extraordinarily different from the average person's life experience and I go,

ah,

you guys just... don't have a deep enough understanding of trauma responses...

I put 30 tags on that dear evan hansen post. for the love of god don't click to expand the tags I'm so fucking sorry I just hate that awful fucking show so fucking much. oh fuck I've done it again in the tags here oh god

[breefarrow]

Just realized we talk about larry having poor communication with each other about how they feel but in actuality it's they have poor communication face to face and do all the communicating on how they feel through their songs. L&H in song lyrics make it clear how seen, heard, and loved they are. 🥺

The music inside has been really loud lately. Like, we always have music playing inside but the volume/intensity will vary a lot. But for the past week or two it's been especially loud. Sometimes when this happens, it becomes clear that a part is trying to communicate, usually by looping a few bars on repeat whose lyrics hold meaning. But this has been different. It's not just a small section of a song or even always the same song. It's been a few different songs over the past week. So I'm not sure if it's communication. It's been so loud it's hard to think/focus. I'm wondering if it's an attempt to stop me thinking about things by drowning things out. Like even writing this is a bit difficult with how loud the music is

My throat has declared anarchy a couple days ago and now I just woke up with my entire voice completely gone I'm fucking. Dying over here. Send help

Do you think if I just show up at the doctor's office and play them this they'll figure it out

Now and then some absolutely insane stuff filters in on my dash through the tags and I am reminded that in every fandom some people are simply not ok. I’m not talking about interpretations of plot or characters that I personally disagree with or whatever. No. I’m talking real “queen is a lizard” or “Paul is dead” stuff about real actual people. Wild stuff. Real unhinged conspiracy theories.

And I know that realistically the best thing to do is to block and not engage. And I do. But it’s just … anytime I see people so into the conspiracy stuff, about anything, it’s upsetting, but it’s bewildering when it’s fandom related. For me fandom is a little respite from the shitty world we live in. I find peace and have fun writing my silly little takes or reblogging cool art or shitposting within the fandoms I love. I hope to always strike a good level of not taking things too seriously but still respect the material and the people who like it. Seeing people into the same stuff as you but way, way down the rabbit hole raging and raving is so unsettling.

If people want to know more about Hachi I recommend this interview from VG Person, here are the relevant bits about Dune/Sand Planet:

A lot of people took offense from the song for depicting the community as a dying desert and being too nostalgic of the old days, when there were many creators still active at the time. It also came off as hypocritical when Hachi himself had been away from Vocaloid for years. Still, it seems his main intention was just to spark reflection and growth in the community (the song sounds quite hopeful at times, you should obviously go judge for yourself if you don't know it). Arrogant maybe, but not evil drama. More like a clash of artistic views that in my opinion is pretty healthy, which is why I care enough about this to be posting this lol

From what I understand of the interview with syudou, since Sand Planet was a song for Miku's 10th anniversary, syudou had the feeling that if he ever got the chance to work in an official project, he wanted to express his own take about the subject, so he took the opportunity when called to compose for Project Sekai.

Sorry this is off topic but... What does hachi have to do with syudou and jackpot sad girl? Everyone keeps referencing it and I'm so confused

As far as I know, Hachi said something about Vocaloid being dead or something and it pissed off a load of people (apparently his song Dune was written about the supposed “death of vocaloid”?). Anyway syudou added a part in the Jackpot Sad Girl lyrics to give his opinion on the topic considering Hachi was one of his main inspirations. He spoke about it in his corocoro interview as well.

I’m largely out of the loop with vocaloid community drama so this definitely isn’t the best explanation but yeah.

All-Star Moments in Space Communications and Navigation

How do we get information from missions exploring the cosmos back to humans on Earth? Our space communications and navigation networks – the Near Space Network and the Deep Space Network – bring back science and exploration data daily.

Here are a few of our favorite moments from 2024.

1. Hip-Hop to Deep Space

The stars above and on Earth aligned as lyrics from the song “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” by hip-hop artist Missy Elliott were beamed to Venus via NASA’s Deep Space Network. Using a 34-meter (112-foot) wide Deep Space Station 13 (DSS-13) radio dish antenna, located at the network’s Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in California, the song was sent at 10:05 a.m. PDT on Friday, July 12 and traveled about 158 million miles from Earth to Venus — the artist’s favorite planet. Coincidentally, the DSS-13 that sent the transmission is also nicknamed Venus!

NASA's PACE mission transmitting data to Earth through NASA's Near Space Network.

2. Lemme Upgrade You

Our Near Space Network, which supports communications for space-based missions within 1.2 million miles of Earth, is constantly enhancing its capabilities to support science and exploration missions. Last year, the network implemented DTN (Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking), which provides robust protection of data traveling from extreme distances. NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission is the first operational science mission to leverage the network’s DTN capabilities. Since PACE’s launch, over 17 million bundles of data have been transmitted by the satellite and received by the network’s ground station.

A collage of the pet photos sent over laser links from Earth to LCRD and finally to ILLUMA-T (Integrated LCRD Low Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal) on the International Space Station. Animals submitted include cats, dogs, birds, chickens, cows, snakes, and pigs.

3. Who Doesn’t Love Pets?

Last year, we transmitted hundreds of pet photos and videos to the International Space Station, showcasing how laser communications can send more data at once than traditional methods. Imagery of cherished pets gathered from NASA astronauts and agency employees flowed from the mission ops center to the optical ground stations and then to the in-space Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD), which relayed the signal to a payload on the space station. This activity demonstrated how laser communications and high-rate DTN can benefit human spaceflight missions.

4K video footage was routed from the PC-12 aircraft to an optical ground station in Cleveland. From there, it was sent over an Earth-based network to NASA’s White Sands Test Facility in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The signals were then sent to NASA’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration spacecraft and relayed to the ILLUMA-T payload on the International Space Station.

4. Now Streaming

A team of engineers transmitted 4K video footage from an aircraft to the International Space Station and back using laser communication signals. Historically, we have relied on radio waves to send information to and from space. Laser communications use infrared light to transmit 10 to 100 times more data than radio frequency systems. The flight tests were part of an agency initiative to stream high-bandwidth video and other data from deep space, enabling future human missions beyond low-Earth orbit.

The Near Space Network provides missions within 1.2 million miles of Earth with communications and navigation services.

5. New Year, New Relationships

At the very end of 2024, the Near Space Network announced multiple contract awards to enhance the network’s services portfolio. The network, which uses a blend of government and commercial assets to get data to and from spacecraft, will be able to support more missions observing our Earth and exploring the cosmos. These commercial assets, alongside the existing network, will also play a critical role in our Artemis campaign, which calls for long-term exploration of the Moon.

On Monday, Oct. 14, 2024, at 12:06 p.m. EDT, a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft lifts off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

6. 3, 2, 1, Blast Off!

Together, the Near Space Network and the Deep Space Network supported the launch of Europa Clipper. The Near Space Network provided communications and navigation services to SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, which launched this Jupiter-bound mission into space! After vehicle separation, the Deep Space Network acquired Europa Clipper’s signal and began full mission support. This is another example of how these networks work together seamlessly to ensure critical mission success.

7. Make Way for Next-Gen Tech

Our Technology Education Satellite program organizes collaborative missions that pair university students with researchers to evaluate how new technologies work on small satellites, also known as CubeSats. In 2024, cognitive communications technology, designed to enable autonomous space communications systems, was successfully tested in space on the Technology Educational Satellite 11 mission. Autonomous systems use technology reactive to their environment to implement updates during a spaceflight mission without needing human interaction post-launch.

A first: All six radio frequency antennas at the Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex, part of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN), carried out a test to receive data from the agency’s Voyager 1 spacecraft at the same time.

8. Six Are Better Than One

On April 20, 2024, all six radio frequency antennas at the Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex, part of our Deep Space Network, carried out a test to receive data from the agency’s Voyager 1 spacecraft at the same time. Combining the antennas’ receiving power, or arraying, lets the network collect the very faint signals from faraway spacecraft.

Here’s to another year connecting Earth and space.
