I don't know where to find you
I don't know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin
Within my heart and my soulI wait for you
When the time is right I know
You'll be in my arms
If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you'll hear my heart
That you'll give your life
Forever you'll stay
Don't let this light fade away
So I just learned that Terry wanted "Every Day" by Buddy Holly to be the theme song* of the 1991 Good Omens potential TV show. And, because of that, Neil originally wanted it to be the 2019 Good Omens theme song.
Of course I had to look up the full lyrics to the song. And now I'm heart broken all over again. Look at the chorus:
Every day seems a little longer
Every way, Love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for true love from me?
Love like yours will surely come my way....
(All along, they knew they wrote the most touching love story ever imagined, half heartedly disguised as a fantasy adventure)
From here to the stars fueled by candy bars rides a kid with a knack for invention. With a super powered mind, a mechanical canine, rescues the day from sure destruction. This is the theme song of Jimmy Neutron.
My first intention was to share a song about stars as a reflection to Crowley's love for the Universe 🌠
But it turn out that is famous song (which talk a bit about astronomy) is so powerful and emotional that I couldn't not share it on this blog. I know most people already know it, but it's a reminder that this song is divine and that Azi et Crow could possibly dance on it one day (I wish) 🕺
Listenning to this song is like stopping time for a moment...
StarlightI will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
⚠️ ought to be listen with the song on max level ⚠️
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Goodbye 2023.
You made us cry, you made us laugh. You gave us Season 2 of Good Omens.
It's only once a while one gets to experience a year like 2023.
So long.
what I love about this song is that it represents the clam after the storm, the morning after the party, the quiet when all the merry makers and the revelers have either gone home or gone to sleep and you're left alone with that one person. The boredom that follows the rush, the flurry, the excitement all the lights and music on New Year's eve. And I think all of that it is a metaphor for the domesticity that tiptoes into someone's lives when they've known each other for so long. When the thrill of the unknown, the sudden rush of blood to the cheeks, the young infatuation sneaks away and is replaced by the clam and quietude of the familiar, that homely routine of brushing your teeth every morning and eating micro-waved pizza with that person ever night in front of the T.V.
And that is all they wished for. A life away from battling all those dangers. Yeah their adventures were cool but for once wouldn't it be nice to snuggle up on the couch and clean out bottles together on new year's day.
anytime i refer to them as gay I mean that with our silly human terms. obviously. an angel and a demon dont apply to our silly little terms.
im so gay :>
this is filled with typos and ramblings. i wrote this at 2:00am. apologies.

this is a surface level rant on my part. honestly if i had the time and research skills id look up the context of why this was written and how its been used in media up till this point. honestly i might. either way its fairly surface level.
This song is heard when Crowley is going back to Aziraphale in season 2 after he found out about the book of life erasing thing. After listening to this song I have to say. THIS IS AMAZING. obviously the song is good its queen.
Crowley's songs are always queen songs and given the title and given Aziraphales regular dress and general pop culture knowledge i think we know who the “good old fashioned lover boy” is.
This is obviously a romance song but similarly to “A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.” the lyrics fit their relationship so nicely!!! (as well as being an absolute bop. LISTEN TO THIS GODDAMN SONG. i like the part at 1:44. so cheery!!!)(also this is why Neil Gaimen is AWESOME such small details in the fucking SONG a fucking BENTLEY plays.)(its like 1:09am and im still up after not getting sleep last night and prob none today so ima go on tangents like this hehe)
Driving back in style, in my saloon, will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours, that will be fine
Come on and get it”
like come on man. “Dining at the Ritz” its Aziracrows THING. their whole routine is dine at the ritz, Aziraphale eats and crowley drinks copious amounts of alcohol, Crowley is always seen paying the bill (or doing something of the sort), they drive in a cool fucking bentley (with a James Bond bullet hole window screen insert), and they go back to Aziraphales bookshop. and the “that'd be fine” matches Aziraphales general attitude when inviting Crowley back to his place in the 1st season and in older flashbacks. Now thats the most obvious. there are many other examples of lyrics that very conveniently match to them.
“Say the word, your wish is my command”
throughout history when Aziraphale and Crowley met up they did favors. whether it be making Hamlet successful, performing magic on the west end stage, getting holy water (“You go too fast for me Crowley.”YOU MF AZIRAPHALE WHYYYY) or magicing away some paint on a very old well kept jacket. they always do things like this for each other. focusing solely on Crowley's perspective he, throughout history, has always been the one to accept Aziraphales requests with little to no complaints. (until Armageddon i suppose)
even in season 2 he lets Aziraphale use his bentley. Although there is some bickering there, he still lets it happen. He doesn't sell books while Aziraphale is away and he even carries them around (the sleeve garters are a whole other thing in this scene)
now realistically the “good old fashioned lover boy” is, im sure, referring to both of them. also the song just feels gay. just listen to it. its gay. i swear.
Now. not saying it matches perfectly. obviously it doesn't but even the GO fandom links the two pieces of media on occasion(see second link). they are inexplicably connected, whether its false pattern recognition (i have currently forgotten the proper term for that. T-T) or intended by mr gaiman i think its so intriguing that the songs picked to play fit so nicely into the deeper narrative. this. is good media
“Write my letter, feel much better
I'll use my fancy patter on the telephone”
Essentially means smooth talking on the phone. Which you have to admit Crowley does to Aziraphale quite often. And Aziraphale writes letters. honestly its cute. specially im thinking of season 1 when Aziraphale is writing a note to Crowley while they are on the phone. its later in the season in the last ditch rush to stop the antichrist.
I used the bit of lyrics that fit them the best in the beginning of the rant. and time for my least convincing point. the vibe just fits them so well. the slightly old school beat with simple romantic lyrics. Its not anything overtly sexual. just the simplicities of romance. IT FUCKING FITTSSS!!!!
There is so much more but i dont want to make this 10000000000000000000 paragraphs long and i have other good omens stuff i want to rant about:>
just my opinion on a silly song that appears for like a minute in the show!
