Quote:Up in the air, Junior Vorlons!
Heh. You're definatly getting better at Gryph's Junior Vorlon act, Bob.
Quote:True -- for EPU. Here, well, even as influenced by the spiritual fathers of epic fanfiction as I am, I'm not echoing Gryph's style quite that slavishly. The songs I post as "SOTDs" are a mixed bag: Some are, as with Gryphon, things I was listening to -- but less during the writing than during the germination. Some are "power music" Doug uses in a coming chapter. Some are "soundtrack" -- not in the "while writing, for the writer" sense above, but in the "while reading, for the reader" sense. And some are just pieces of music that are intrinsic to the plot without having any metanormal adjuncts.
I should point out to anyone else that SOTD's, as imported from Eyrie, tend to be songs that were listened to while particular scenes were being written, or in some way reflect certain feelings that (Gryph at least) manifested during the writing.
In regards to the two songs in this thread, I'll say this: Doug plays one. The other is a plot point that a different character has to puzzle out.
The Sixties/revolution metaphor is a good one, and in fact appropriate to the chapter -- but not really done consciously. These two songs were selected at two widely varying times for widely varying reasons -- that they dovetail so well to each other and a perceived theme is a fortunate coincidence.
