More scuffed singing

[zack-is-silly]

I fucking love My Farewells to the Fields and Bird Cage Blue and Yellow rn like I'm listening to them at least 10 times a day

Anyways in Bird Cage Blue and Yello Clémentine and Cole sing in Icelandic and says (roughly) "A voice like a bell keeps us safe from the future"

The other two are speaking Filipino chanting "Free sparrow" and "Far away"

Also at the beginning of Bird Cage Blue and Yellow Clémentine starts singing after a wind up doll sound which is fitting as they are seen as a doll which is more over what the song is about

Also in the pictures for the two Songs of Origin they match the personality of the characters

Kingsley is confident

Clémentine is soft

Cole is nervous

Perrine is determined

i had an epiphany while having dinner so i present to you:

meadowlark headcanons: what kind of original pinoy music (opm) would they listen to

disclaimer: this is my personal headcanon so it's fine if you disagree but please be civil and respectful about it—feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or when you reblog this :)

cole

iv of spades, eraserheads, ben&ben, one click straight. i feel like out of all the characters, cole's the type to listen to bands. also filipino bands' lyrics are very poetic and i feel like cole would take inspiration from these singers' artistry.

clementine

moira dela torre, mrld, up dharma down, zack tabudlo. clemmy strikes me as the type to be sweet and sentimental but can get real emotional sometimes. these songs also hit right in the feels and i can imagine clemmy swaying to them alone in their room.

perrine

apo hiking society, ryan cayabyab, basil valdez, asin. idk much abt their lore but perrine gives me that old soul vibe who enjoys listen to music using vinyl players. im also imagining specifically the calmer old opm with profound lyricism is the type that they listen to.

kingsley

budots. unironically. need i say more?

[flowerscatsandwichystuff]

So, I just got a thought.

What if "My fairwells to the fields" is about Cole running away from their family that is fighting for their custody after their parents died. We know that all 4 kids are canonically orphans, so it would kind of make sense.

And maybe the line "They've forgotten" is about Coles family forgetting their promise to Cole's late parents not to fight over their (Cole's) custody.

@ Meadowlark/Yaelokre fans

I wanna sing something for the free space on day 30 of Yaelokre Month 2024! What should I sing? (Alone is a song I wrote from the perspective of my OC)

If anything other than Alone wins, I'll make another poll to decide who to sing it 'as'

[fangirl-nadir]

Now that I've had time to process Songs of Origin, I wonder if Cole's backstory isn't rather tragic? They sing about clashing hordes, stamping hooves, of hiding from someone. This is reflected in Hartebeest where the lyrics imply that Cole is like a rabbit running and hiding from the beast.

And then the line about "I say farewell to the fields, to the man made of straw, to my name." Did the Storyteller save Cole? Is that why it's so interested in the Harkers? And did Cole really change its name to be forgotten, or was it taken from them by someone?

why meadowlark is literally a masterpiece

tl;dr :: me yapping about how @yaelokre is amazing at music and you should go follow them :3 [not forcing you,, haha]

and to keath, if you didnt want to be tagged that's perfectly okay and i apologize :~) you can skip to the ending section for more info haga

everything under the cut

alright !! thank you for taking the time to read my silly recommendation :D before we begin i'd just like to say i really hope this doesn't come off as weird at all, i just really love meadowlark :3

and some of this might be wrong !! PLEASE correct me if i said anything incorrect !

so, what's meadowlark?

meadowlark is the world in which four children sing tales of fables to all that will hear them. they tell stories of the harkers, who are "concepts" in a way. they are the storyteller, the bell-ringer, the croon and the enkindled. yaelokre is the name of the creator and story as a whole, and the author and singer behind the story is known as Keath, a splendidly talented artist who truly loves their work.

the lark

the lark consists of the aforementioned children:

cole (represents the storyteller)

clémentne/clémentine/clémmie (represents the bell-ringer)

perrine (represents the croon)

kingsley (represents the enkindled)

all of the children are genderless, and do not use gendered terms. they all use they/it pronouns and it is best to respect yaelokre's wishes for their characters. i do believe cole and clémentine are dating (or something romantic), as there is official art of them kissing, though i don't know the details...

the young minstrels are good friends and enjoy preforming their songs together. each one has a distinct voice, design, and personality traits. each one of them is crafted so beautifully, you can see yaelokre put work into them :D

the songs

the tales of meadowlark are told through songs, and goodness, are they amazing. i have never reacted so positively to a song myself, but bird cage blue and yellow makes me so happy :) i do hope yaelokre knows that at least one person enjoys their music as much as i <3

here are the songs !!:

hayfields

harpy hare

hartebeest

and the hound

neath the grove is a heart

songs of origin

my farewell to the fields

bird cage blue and yellow

there is another song, cole's response, but i can't find it anywhere, nor have i heard it. i believe it's being remade, or something along those lines.

closing statements !!

i hope this convinces at least one person to listen to and support yaelokre's works :3

again: i do not wish to cross any boundaries with this post, and i will take it down per the request of keath if they so wish. i am quite anxious of hurting others, so communication is best for me...

i am deeply excited when i like something, music or other, so i just want to share yaelokre with more people :~) so if that makes them uncomfortable, i apologize. i chose to tag them because i feel they may like knowing someone really appreciates their work? i don't know. i don't know them personally so take that with a grain of salt.

thank you, yaelokre, for being cool :D

my farewells to the fields.... hellebore..... but not really hellebore

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

i know these are out of context. i know. I KNOW. yet i have not been able to stop thinking about them since i finished the book

mr. marlowe, philip, darling,,,, (also italian slur warning bc this book is a particularly bad product of its time)

this is the most convoluted form of masturbation i have ever heard of

[cassy-universal]

I’m ugly crying right now…

Okay so May @1-marigold-1 sent me one of her Esteemed Dbhc Comic Breakdown Asks, which turned into me rambling and rambling and rambling and. So instead of replying directly to the ask I took a bunch of screenshots of it + threw in a bunch of other tags + doodled over top of everything, and I’m just posting this all as the Dbhc Comic Explained Post (tm) for Children of the Machine <3 THANK YALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR INSANITY, PLEASE TAKE MINE IN RETURN <3
