During my hiatus I’ve been working on a new album dedicated to a podcast I quite enjoy. Introducing Fear & Power, 14+ songs inspired by each of the fear powers from The Magnus Archives. 

There are some songs not included in this preview, namely songs I haven’t quite written/finished yet + extra songs, so please be sure to give the full album a listen when it comes out March 25, 2021. And maybe buy it, I worked really hard for a really long time as the producer, sound designer, lyric writer, and singer (save for the last song- I tuned the voicebanks myself).

hear, o gods, my desperate plea...

hear, o gods -a Greek myth playlist

I have SO missed making playlists, I’ve just been swamped. So have a quick Greek myth playlist, specifically focused on more calm and quiet songs.

As always, tracklist below the cut and link in the notes!

hear, o gods -a Greek myth playlist

I have SO missed making playlists, I’ve just been swamped. So have a quick Greek myth playlist, specifically focused on more calm and quiet songs.

As always, tracklist below the cut and link in the notes!

Persephone // Tamino

"Be wary of my river's undertow It flows with water from the coldest source" Did you hear?

And then I made sure You would always return You still know of dawn But you always return

Aphrodite // Honey Gentry

Aphrodite, hear my pain I want to fall in love again Not in love with a man of this world Fall in love with life itself

Aphrodite, set me free Find a way to let me leave As the future, it unfolds I leave the past and turn to gold

Sirens // The Mechanisms

Come my way and stay my honey Lay your body down next to me We can chase away your worries Sleep in peace and serenity 

Drink from my cup and soon you’ll find Your soul no longer remains confined So let the lotus set you free Soar above life’s travesty

Dionysus // Tomo

As the clouds slowly gather in the night I hear nothing but the sound of broken cries Amidst the blood of another drunken fight Lying on the pavement with the fragments of my mind Oh Dionysus won't you save us from ourselves Oh Dionysus soon there might be nothing left

Lament of Orpheus // Darren Korb

Close enough that light we can see My doubt betrays the better of me A glance to the stern is all it would be That anguished shade shall haunt me

Achilles Heel // J. Maya

Like Atlas held too much I feel crushed under this love 'Cause with those nectar lips and Ambrosia hips Boy, you've become my drug

Loving you's my Achilles' heel Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles I want to kill this Achilles' heel

Eurydice // Eugenie

Eurydice... Don't look back Cause I'll be falling down I'm falling now Don't look down

Siren Song // Lambia

The light hits the water, a voice from the sea A haunting melody Crystalline caves where the tide sits neck deep A hollowed heaven where two lovers meet

A day or so later, a body ashore Skin peeling off, urchins in her pores Sometimes it happens, the officer states A tourist gets brave and dies in the waves

Persephone in the Garden // Aidoneus

My goddess of light And spring and all things good How, how wrong How, how long Before you break down and fly away with your spirit And mine in tow and leave me below with all the fates and shades and the river passing through But I could never blame you

The playlist is here (Spotify) and the fic series is here (AO3)!

will you love me just the same? - a fanmix

Inspired by the series of the same name by the impeccable @whatever-you-can-give-me, a playlist about searching for purpose in the wake of life-shattering change, and also about queer bugs.  The fact that this playlist is being published on the first day of Hanukkah is definitely a coincidence. (/joke)

Since Tumblr is a functional website, links will be in the notes!

Tracklist below the cut:

Blame // Air Traffic Controller

There goes my luck There goes my pride There goes everything that I’ve been working for all of my life

There goes that dream And so it seems There goes the days and nights awakened fighting thoughts of losing

The Perfect Fit // The Dresden Dolls

Can't you just fix it for me? It's gone berserk Oh fuck, I'll give you anything if You can make the damn thing work

Can't you just fix it for me? I'll pay you well Oh, fuck I'll pay you anything If you can end this Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name? Hello, I'm good for nothing—will you love me just the same?

Hungover in the City of Dust // Autoheart

Insolent and out of character We’ve changed so much I barely recognize our formative lives Hidden deep, deep, deep underground And they won’t come back They won’t come back no more

Dear Fellow Traveller // Sea Wolf

Dear fellow traveler under the moon I think I'm growing weary and I'm hoping you'll come soon And if I see you in clean new clothes I hope you hold the mirror up to show me what I chose

Oleander // Mother Mother

You stood beside Me while I Was out of my mind I broke the glass And you were there To sweep it aside

And if you leave me Rest assured, it would kill me

A Deer Mistaking Candles For Headlights // Crywank

Oh, I see the many versions of me that I perform Moulded to suit I know the real me just convolutes

You see who I am and that scares me You see who I am and that's scary

Home To Me // Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Oh, I can see you somewhere up the road There's a weight you carry you're trying to let go And you know that if I could I would take it all away from you

How dare you love me like you've never known fear When you've got more troubles than minutes in the year

Curses // The Crane Wives

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust Tell me I am good enough Lay my curses all to rest Make a mercy out of me

In Our Bedroom After The War // Stars

We won or we think we did When you went away you were just a kid And if you lost it all and you lost it Well, we'll still be there when your war is over

Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen, the birds sing Listen, the bells ring All the living are dead and the dead are all living The war is over, we are beginning

Those Who Carried On // Ghost and Pals

So after all these years They remained a form of art 'Cause they had problems from the start Though they acted on a dare There's nothing stopping them So beware These are people too fearless to die out

Revolution Lover // Left at London

You know, I know that your hope's been missin' I know we both coulda almost died I know it's harder everyday to provide But it's gonna change, I can feel it comin' And when it's here, we’ll be side-by-side I know we'll make it out of this one alive

Parrot // Stepdad

When I'm not in my right mind I like attention all on me Sometimes I get obnoxious, my ego gets the best of me

I've said a fair share of stupid things that I can't hide My wonderful friends just roll their eyes, stay by my side

The Draw // Bastille

Are you drifting way beyond what's normal? 'Cause 'round your mind rings the words that they would say? When you go home everything looks different And you're scared of being left behind

Just listen to your friends Trust in that fair look in their eyes Just listen to your friends They only care and hope you're alright

Hug All Ur Friends // Cavetown

I don’t care about what people think of me I’m fucked up as it is but we’ve got so much time to kill And so many things to see

Life’s too short to worry about things that we got wrong So hug all your friends and let them know You’re not letting go
