There's a hyperspecific genre of song that always makes me cry; sci-fi "filk" music about spacemen who sacrifice themselves for their crew.

Ballad of a Spaceman

Some Kind of Hero

Sam Jones

Dawson's Christian

"I'm as good as dead, but there's still something I can do to save everyone else, so that has to be enough."

It's a bit dorky but this never fails to make me feel... something

Some music for celebrating the moon landing anniversary!

I went to a used bookstore. Found some stuff I wasn't expecting to.

Duane is always really good, and L.A. Graf (Let's All Get Rich And Famous) is a group of filkers who also wrote. Then there's one actually just by Julia Ecklar (of the golden voice) and some CJ Cherryh.

I feel like I'd be remiss if I didn't post this one today.

Sing along if you know it.

Lyrics:

[Chorus] I have no use, I have no pride I have no hope, so they say of me Mahn past his youth, Mahn past his prime Mahn upward bound now in infamy Raised Hanni male in an old Hanni clan Golden mane, thunder voice, long I held Mahn land I was lord, I was god, I was Mahn to the core My own son clips my ears. Now I rule no more Shamed by defeat, too proud to die Hanni male, I feel passions I can't deny I took shelter with females and from defeat ran Just to find greater shame in more distant lands [Chorus] Feared like a beast, kept like a child Clear the rows! Hanni male! Ring the cry so wild! Both on ship and in port my defeat stalks with me In closed minds that deny what a male might be Proud Hanni male with a strong Hanni hand I can think past my instincts. I'll make my stand And gods rot any merchant refusing to see I am lord of myself as no beast could be [Chorus] A male upward bound now for victory!

I feel like Space Ballad is a genre that should do wonderfully here, so if I have your attention... give this a listen, and check out some of the other stuff the uploader has found. It's a fantastic collection of some specific-ass people in specific-ass situations.

Stuff I listen to on my way to work.

 Weird stuff I listen to on my way to home visits:

Ok, so technically I wasn't driving to a home visit at 1:00 a.m., but I was driving to work, so I think it counts. It also is not as weird as it sometimes is. I have loved filk since I learned it existed, so it is frequently what I'm listening to when I don't have kids in the car. Unfortunately, most of the small humans do not appreciate filk like I do. But this morning there were no small humans in the car, so I listened to Crimson and Crystal.

sometimes you listen to a fantastic song and you're like wow that was so cool so you look it up to see if its based on anything and theres commentary by the musician like 'yeah that's based off a novel i never finished writing' and you're like well on the one hand i would have loved to read that but at least we got this jam out of it

[atidingofmagpies]

When people create digital versions of filk that otherwise only exists on cassette tape because they can't bear to lose that music... oh to be so loved
