What are some songs that you guys associate with the chain/specific LU characters? I want to expand mine (cuz it's mostly Four and Time) for when I write fics, but I'm also just genuinely curious.....

There's no way for me to hear the lyric "I remembered you older and taller but you're younger and smaller" and not think about bnha's child symbolism

Smthg smthg I knew you as this threatening villain who portrayed yourself as irredeemable, scary and broken but you're actually just this scared little kid, still hurting and crying for help even years later. I thought I knew you but turns out I didn't until now, and yet there's still more to learn

I remembered you older and taller But you're younger and smaller So who's gonna call her and say That you're back again?

Album Review: Regina Spektor - Remember Us To Life (2016) ✰✰✰

Remember Us To Life is Spektor's 7th studio album. I have long been a casual fan - while I don't own every album, I very much appreciate her vocal tone and talent for weaving stories into her music.

The album opens with its lead single, Bleeding Heart. Her voice is in classic form, the chorus has a music box vibe which is really nice. While not the most standout of her works, it is a very nice track - I especially enjoy when things pick up near the end when the "never-never-never mind-mind-mind" gets a bit louder and more insistent.

Older and Taller is a really cute midtempo, definitely has the late 2000s indie-pop vibe that is my favorite from her.

Grand Hotel brings in the storytelling style. While there is not much variety in the melody, I enjoy the particular sound of the piano and the quickened pace.

Small Bill$ is the star of the show here. It is dynamic, dramatic, the music video is crazy and I love how dreamy the chorus sounds!

From here, we get into sleepy ballad territory which loses my interest fast. Though, I do love the piano on The Light.

The Trapper and the Furrier is a bit more interesting, has some good dramatics and a good storyline. Although the "more, more, more!" can get a little repetitive.

Tornadoland gets exciting 3 minutes in! It picks up to an almost vaudevillian cadence.

Sellers of Flowers has a nice cinematic quality and unique vocal tone/melody.

If you are a fan of piano ballads, this is definitely an album for you! Even though half of the songs are not my style, the ones I like are good enough to keep this one out of the donation bin. She definitely has more interesting albums!

ALSO if you're writing anything for the Brothers Sun, I'm sitting here kicking my feet and eagerly waiting, I need to read some fanfic ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Here is the song! It's very hard to pick a single line from this hahaha, Regina is one of my favorite lyricists and this is one of my favorite songs by her. But the line, "You're around 'til you're not around/And that's all you need to know" is a stand-out for me. I just love her so much.

And re: Brothers Sun fic, I definitely will be writing some! I'm also very deep into Slow Horses at the moment and have been working on a season 3 tag with some River whump, so it may be a bit but I WILL be writing Charles whump (hopefully in the near future)!!!!

"Older and taller" by Regina Spektor is almost a perfect song for Chung Myung, even better if you see it from Tang Bo's perspective (in the AU's where he survives, at least.)

I remembered you older and taller

But you're younger and smaller

So who's gonna call her and say

That you're back again?

And all the lies, they were wiser

And the wise were the liars

And the liars were on fire

And the fires were put out, just

To be lit again

You're alone till you're not alone

And that's all you need to know

Every time you decide to stay

Then the world will make you go

And that's all you need to know
