Song of the Day, 1/13/2004

[Bob Schroeck]

I take a step to what's real
Or at least to what it is I'm chasing
Another step to reveal
All the shadows that I keep embracing
Failure forgets to fascinate
This light inside will resonate
Shame dissipates with open eyes
Refreshing fate I can't describe
This time it feels like I've been
Touched by a Supernova
Inside - the Hand that touches hearts
Is touching mine
As I find my tears are all
Consumed by the Supernova
This time the hope that
Lights the world
Is in my eyes
There's a piece of my mind
That tries to fathom the stars or to
Contemplate the divine
Don't need to look very far
When you bring me
The reasons just to believe
You bring me answers
I can't concieve
How can I bring You doubt
When You bring me the sky?
This time it feels like I've been
Touched by a Supernova
Inside - the Hand that touches hearts
Is touching mine
As I find my tears are all
Consumed by the Supernova
This time the hope that
Lights the world
Is in my eyes
(instrumental)
You bring me
The reasons just to believe
You bring me answers
I can't concieve
How can I bring You doubt
When You bring me the sky?
This time it feels like I've been
Touched by a Supernova
Inside - the Hand that touches hearts
Is touching mine
As I find my tears are all
Consumed by the Supernova
This time the hope that
Lights the world
Is in my eyes
There's a light in my eyes
The light of the Supernova glowing in my eyes
Go Supernova.

Bump.

I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So theeeeeere....

[Bob Schroeck]

In trying to get my mojo restarted so we can finish the last chapter of
DW5, I've been spending a lot of time listening to the music that
inspired a lot of it. And this piece, which has been sitting here in
the forums for over six years now, is the capstone. This is the
song Doug's using to power the Redemption. So I've been listening to
it a lot.

And I figured I should be able to dig up a YouTube video of it so folks
know in advance what it sounds like. This is the best of the few that
I can find right now. The sound's just a little bit muddy, and the
visuals are a bizarre hodgepodge that would probably make more sense if
I knew the games involved. Even so, the first 30-some seconds have
much the same feel as what we've got written, and some of the look, too.

Enjoy. And to whoever it was who first suggested it to me years-n-years ago -- Nathan, was it you? -- thanks again.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

...and five minutes later I've got Winamp on shuffle while I start my morning perusal of the job listings, and what do you think is the song that comes up as soon as it starts?

[Wiregeek]

delicious.

I don't normally start my day at work with my toe tapping and a smile on my face, thank you!

Also, you know you're a bastard, right? This is causing inordinate levels of anticipation.

Nope, I can't take credit for this one, at least - I first heard it from you, during one of my in-person visits, and IIRC you already had the use plotted at that point.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."

[robkelk]

Ah, so it's a power song...

I assume it has a side-effect of giving Doug glowing eyes, ne? "This time the hope that / Lights the world / Is in my eyes"

(If that wasn't in the story, now you can add it, and do some other work as long as you have the file open... )

[Bob Schroeck]

Hm. I remember that you suggested a few songs to me long long ago, Nathan, that are now part of both DW and my favorites; I thought that would have been one of them. Huh. I wonder who it was, then, because it definitely was something that someone suggested to me.

And Rob? It might have that side effect, but it'll be hard to see through the glare to know for sure.
