🎼 One Song Per Episode

1.17 Bad Reputation - Run Joey Run

“Though I understand that a motion picture should stand on its own, I do realize that some of you are not well-versed in the complex vocabulary of the filmic arts. I expect that this video will go over some of the heads of our less cultured teammates.”

[once-upon-the-earth]

will there ever be another lyric as great as "cause if god made us all in his image then gods a fucking nerd" because i doubt there will

[jackienova]

Now let the earth a-tumble, love, and humble you withal, keep running. It's not from what we run that drums, but what's to come, what’s to come.

One of my favorites! It's always so difficult to choose which lyrics to use, but this line always hits. Based on “Love Run” by The Amazing Devil.

Ive been listening to Secret Worlds a lot recently and I havent seen anybody talking about my favourite part, so I'm going to.

When they sing "you asked me to climb, I never learned", Madeleine and Joey sing the last three words differently. Her voice raises, a desperate plea to be understood, whereas his goes down, resigned and unwilling to challenge what is indisputable. He has already given up, whilst she is still fighting. It really emphasises how far they've drifted, that they can't even find any common ground when they share the same grief, the same regret.

When The Amazing Devil said "and in a moment of total rapture, and with every strength I have, I ask if you play dnd and your face lights up like you've woken up from this endless fucking nightmare," I felt that.

Not Yet / Love Run by The Amazing Devil, AO3 lyric video edition! It's finally here!

[gleesongtournament]

[kell-be-belle]

"Because love does not exist here, in this garden there's no feeling."

Getting back to my original style! This was my first time trying this type of satin stitch and I'm really pleased how it went! I haven't given Love Run the attention it so dearly deserves, but I hope this piece inspired by "Elsa's Song" will satisfy enough!

I'm constantly sobbing over the transition between not yet/love run (reprise)

A list of the Entities in TAD songs and their aesthetics:

(Except not the ones Madeleine or Joey say they are because there are way too many of those)

The King - crumbling walls, secrets lurking in cobwebbed corners, crashing waves in a storm. Being protected, forgotten, isolated, smothered.

The Creature - scratching, clawing, screaming. Torn curtains and bloodied nails, you have to get out, you have to get out, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT, YOU HAVE TO GE-

The Old Man - broken promises, hair so tangled it brings tears to your eyes when you brush it. A too-tight corset. Being sent to bed without supper. Wondering what you did wrong, why won't they love you?

The Fox - screaming at your own reflection in a cracked mirror, branches whipping at your face as you run through the forest. It doesn't matter how fast you run, the truth will always find you, always be waiting for you.

The Trees - tall branches and taller tales. Climbing through branches that could crack under your weight, but knowing they won't, that their support will lift you higher, ever higher. Watching the earth fall away beneath you. Wondering if you'll ever feel the ground beneath your feet again, and if you even want to.

The Hollow Folk - watching, whispering, waiting. Shadows flicking through the corners of your vision, devils and guardian angels and everything in between. They hold no secrets in their hearts because there is nothing there to hide, nothing even to see. Empty shells of former people, observing and oh-so-patient. They will get what they want, in the end.

The Saint - staring your mistakes in the face and knowing you'll never change. Burning your past and dancing in the ashes as you suffocate in the smoke that coils itself around you. You can never escape the flaws that reside deep in the furthest recesses of your soul. You will never get it right because you dont even know what right looks like anymore.

Good Man Grace - tough love that won't take no for an answer. Empty promises to be there for you that crumble to dust as soon as you ask for help. You could be better than you are if only someone would tell you how, but nobody will. You'll never be on your own, but you're always alone.

Old Witch Sleep - comforting, cajoling, calamitous decisions masked behind gentle persuasions. Burying your head in the sand, only to choke on the grains that fill your eyes and cling to your tongue. You can rest now. You don't need to worry about anything. You never will again.
