At long last, it’s here! My eight minute Good Omens-inspired rock opera/character study Crowley’s Lament is out TODAY. This has been such a labor of love for the better part of a year, and I am unbelievably proud to finally present it to all of you. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll headbang. You’ll squeal. I hope you enjoy my music, lyrics, and Walmart David Tennant voice. To the World, everyone!!!
Special thanks to @holmee for the GORGEOUS thumbnail art- I asked for Crowley dramatically sprawled out on a piano and she couldn’t have possibly delivered finer results.
I am so goddamn excited to share this with the fandom. So, backstory, in 2022 I wrote a song called Polaris (the North Star) for a character of mine who loves the stars, for my then-best friend and for myself. To remind us that the stars don't serve a purpose, really, why should we? All that matters is we exist, and that's enough.
Of course, now that song reminds me intensely of Good Omens. Crowley as an angel, and their story in general. I could picture Aziraphale saying those words to Crowley. So I rerecorded it. It was originally just my voice and a guitar riff.
But then the fucking amazingly talented @good-usernames-were-taken, Valerie, entered the scene and just transformed the whole goddamn song with her backing instrumentals and her editing and I LOVE YOU VALERIE THANK YOU THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
This has been in the works since this month started. So, finally now she and I present to you... Polaris.
The lyrics are below the cut. I did make two changes to the original ones, for Aziraphale and Crowley... in the last refrain, I changed Go to bed to Come to bed, and You're so much more, so much more than enough now to We're so much more, so much than enough now :")
I love you all, you are enough. So much more than enough.
polaris: asmi, valerie
if the way you look at the stars
was the way you looked at your scars
i believe you’d forgive yourself
wish upon a moment for another one
drowning slow in the late winter sun
yes i heard everything that you said
it’s okay, go to bed
the stars burn so useless in the sky
i wish you knew how beautiful you cry
it’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough now
you’re so much more, so much more than enough now
let me show you
if the way you thought could be photographed
up in the sky with all those other laughs
i believe you’d maybe love yourself
the stars burn so useless in the sky
i wish you knew how beautiful you cry
it’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough now
you’re so much more, so much more than enough now
let me show you
there’s nothing more that you need to do
there’s nothing more that you need to be
it's okay, come to bed
the stars burn so useless in the sky
i wish you knew how beautiful you cry
it’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough now
we’re so much more, so much more than enough now
let me show you
let me show you
let me show you
