Final song from the EP, final blog for context, now on to more projects - I have about 5 things on the go at the moment so it’s just a race to see which one can hold my attention to get finished first…

On the home stretch here, the fourth song on the EP, a very specific song written for a very specific moment. https://melancholypolytheist.wordpress.com/2024/03/08/venus/

I hereby present another video of me singing away - this time the third song on the EP, accompanied by another slice of context. https://melancholypolytheist.wordpress.com/2024/03/06/the-lost-king/

More context for my EP, basically it’s all T.S. Eliot’s fault.

As I said, here’s some context on that first song from the EP, ‘The Scameling Song’ - plus a video to go with it. It’s just me singing but there is a bonus ferret at the end!

I said I might do some more blogging this year after enjoying doing it in the run up to Christmas, so for your reading pleasure I present ‘A Tale of Tailoring’ or ‘it’s not great, but I’m glad I did it’.

I need more of you to be talking about Carlos Luna's adorable performance as Cheese in Pirates of Leviathan

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.
