93. Again & Again — Fly By Midnight, ELLIANA

I'm not good at games, I Only ever wind up in last place And I keep on wishing my defenses Were foolproof, but I don't learn my lesson You just hurt me Again and again and again I try, but I know you lie, and I fall for it Again and again and again

This song!!! I loveee this song, it was one of the first that got put on Xisuma's playlist! This piece is actually one of the first I did of Android 24, too; it was my first attempt to kind of put their dynamic down on paper. I think I actually did it about a year and a half ago! I had been waiting to post it at the time for A24's official reveal, and then once the 'It's a Deal' comic came out, I completely forgot about this and a few other things I had laying around ready to post.

Something about the way that the instrumental drops out at the first chorus really hits me in the gut, like this dreadful moment could be Xisuma's first true realization that he's fallen into Android 24's trap without enough mental clarity to escape it (And then, halfway through the chorus, when the snare snaps back into place and the beat picks up, it's like Xisuma is snapping back to reality... ugh. ugh. uhg. igfndskgkfjl i'm crazy about themmm lfsjglfg)
