Oh my love, if it's all I can do,
I'll take the fall for you
'Cause I will soar when I lay down with you
And give my all for you

I really have to hand it to Remedy for how they handle their moments of "the player does something while Old Gods of Asgard plays in the background". The first time around it was pretty simple, first time they did it. Fight off hordes of enemies with Barry on stage while the music plays.
The Ashtray Maze is something just so special. You have the moments of the great gameplay fighting off hiss, but for the most part its just taking in and being awestruck by the Oldest House moving and shifting around you, as the song guides you through the maze. I greatly appreciate the fact they made the arcade game in AWE so you could go revisit it whenever you wanted to.
And then we have the two different moments in Alan Wake 2. The musical number, a moment of absurdity and surrealism amongst all of the horror. Plus I love the little bit of fourth wall breaking when Alan sings near the end "can you help me out?" as you then go to the plot board.
And then we have Dark Ocean Summoning, very reminiscent of the Children of the Elder Gods sequence from the the first Alan Wake game. But you have two people helping you, Casey and Estevez, calling out enemy locations, destroying darkness shields and supplying ammo. With the Old Gods of Asgard right there with you this time. The stakes just seemed so much higher in that fight, so much more tension about what was about to happen.
Just such unique pieces all centered around a rather simple idea. Love them for it.

You're dancing with the greats
With the fools and their fates

9 10 30 for music asks
I think we can all tell where this is going. 😂Yes, to the surprise of literally nobody who follows me, these are all by Poets of the Fall, so i don't feel the need to add the name of the artist after each song.
9: A song that makes you happy
Can You Hear Me - A lot of Poets songs make me happy, so this was a hard choice. But I went with this one because I rambled only two days ago about how much I adore this song's music video. The music video is an explicit show of diversity, including LGBTQ+ representation, and ends with a message that says 'compassion is the answer'. It really makes me smile.
This is my favourite verse.
There's yet life in these words I speak for peace of mind and our release,
And you can have what you want if you want it like you need to breathe,
like you need to breathe, like you need to breathe
Embrace reality
10: A song that makes you sad
CW: self-harm mention
Save Me - This song is a cry for help. The narrator wants to be saved because he's self-destructing even though he thinks he doesn't deserve love.
Save me
I'm my own worst enemy
Running headlong to the wall cos I want my freebie
Save me
You're the only out I see
N' I need your love the most when I least deserve it
The first time I heard the lyric "Should I open my wrist again" I nearly cried. It hit too close to home as someone who has scars on my wrist. Although the song still has hope, because like I said, it's about someone asking to be saved.
30: A song that reminds you of yourself
Standstill - This song's lyrics really speak to me. They're about things being shit in the past, but it's okay because they're going to get better. These lyrics especially remind me of my past self and my shitty mental state:
You didn't see how your pain
Became your refrain
Whilst these ones remind me of how much better my life has become in the last couple of years. My mental health is manageable, I'm dealing with fewer self-esteem and body image issues, and I honestly think I'm happy some of the time. Which I couldn't imagine when I was a teenager.
But it's alright if you fall
You just get up, just go on
Never mind the hurt, even if you burn
Cos it's all, gonna be so much better
The moment your true self's shining through
MUSIC ASKS these are actually pretty fucking hard but why not

Did i tell an entire class that my favorite poet was Pete Wentz today in my poetry class? i did and i stand by what i said!!! The person who wrote “And i cast a spell over the west, to make you think of me the same way i think of you” and “i love you in the same way there’s a chapel in a hospital, one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door. sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills. i could write it better than you ever felt it” and “sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger, the person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger” is a poet in my book

"Walking between the wind and the dead leaves is no longer the same thing without you by my side,Why does it always hurt so much when this season comes around reminding me that this was the season we fell in love even though it was long ago,but i only have eyes for you when the orange leaves fell"

It’s a brief season that marks an end and a beginning.
It’s a resting place and a jumping off point.
An understanding that the abundance of spring and summer are behind us and the stark cold winter is ahead.
With all of this internal and external transition it's more imperative than ever that we pull each other a little closer for warmth.
-Lainey
