Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Same. Well-- I'd already written some junk, but it's in haiku, so... I dunno how useful they'll be.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

Hmm. Do we want our lyrics to rhyme, or no?

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

I think it'd sound better if it did.

I only went with haiku 'cause Amaranth said it was traditional. But we're not exactly doin' that either way.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

Spoken word over melody can work... but I think we want singing.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Singing's just more fun, y'know? And less pretentious, personally.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

I do like poetry, but... yes. Let's stick with singing.

What sort of instrumentals do we want? Like, we'll each play while the other sings a stanza, maybe?

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Well, I could probably play and sing, but I'm betting that's pretty impossible for you. [Flute and all...]

If we both do a chorus, it'll have to be guitar.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

Right. Sorry my instrument is so inconvenient for this. Ah, have you heard me play before?

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Nope.

Hey, don't apologize. You're probably way better with that instrument than I am with mine.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

Want to hear?

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Is that even a real question? Of course I wanna hear.

[Plays the solo from Bohemian Rhapsody. On her flute. There are mistakes, and it's not exactly Brian May quality, but not bad.]

♪I-I see a little silhoetto of a man♪

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Oh my god is that Bohemian Rhapsody HE'S SO PSYCHED]

Dude! I love that song!!

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

Oh, you know it? It is rather good. I particularly enjoy the emotive vocals of Frederick Mercury.

[we've all been shopping for spotify albums]

Can you do We Will Rock You?

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

But... there's almost no melody except the guitar part at the end...

I'd need to practice that one, anyway.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh. Right.

Still, that was fucking cool. I only know a few chords right now--

[He strums an E minor, then an A and A minor that he picked up from the app.]

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

It takes a lot of practice... I'm sure you could at least learn some chords though, to provide accompaniment.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

Yeah, I need to work on this finger dexterity.

Why don't we just focus on writing, for now?

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

Mm, alright. I haven't really thought much of lyrics yet, or rather nothing has come to mind very easily... it's challenging.

I want them to be write. I want it to really convey how I feel, how important she is to me. I-I... I really love her. It's hard to put into words.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

I think-- well, I think that's okay t'put in a song. Y'know, the feeling of not knowing how to say it. Music's more than just words on a page that you read.

[His face softens as he looks down at his sketchbook.]

I get that too. Most of these haikus are me just... tryin' to come to terms that it's even real.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[nihilmancy]

It almost feels like cheating to just say that, though?

[She bites her lip- glancing at the bare snippets in her own notebook.]

You know... I've been a little jealous of you. Really happy too, and glad she has somebody so nice but... it's not that I mind having somebody else love her, but you're so, I mean, you're a really great person, and I've hurt her, and I can be pretty selfish and bad at reading the mood and... I'm happy for you and her, but I'm afraid that she'll never really love me back. That one day she'll realize I'm not worth it. But, ah, I just worry about everything. That's how I am. It's how she is too, so be mindful of that, and take care of her.

Re: 168 morning!!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

I... really don't think I'm anywhere near as good as you're makin' me out to be. I've made her cry, for fuck's sake. I'm just as selfish.

'Cause in the end, I'm just stupid and reckless - even when I know she'll worry, I just stop thinking and let my blood run wild. And now I just straight up turn into a demon gone berserk - one that hurts her - when she needs me most.

She's the reason I even learned how t'be kind. I've never thought for a single moment that I deserve someone like her.
