#tragic fact

[thissongisawesome]

do you ever think about how ocean was implied to be the first one to notice that the ride was broken and they were all absolutely fucked? in like every intro song (not uranium suite but uranium suite is mid anyways) there's at least one line that shows her having knowledge beforehand. in fall fair suite there's this line from ONLY OCEAN!! while everyone else dances around and sings the background vocals. but her line is, "had a strange feeling from the start. bought out tickets stood in line, a rickety cart. i did not feel safe at all. tick-a-tick-a heard the crack!" and then they all say "felt the drop, now i know im never going back!" but she could tell even leading up to the drop that they were going to die. in the choreography of "waiting for the drop", in the moment before the drop of the ride, ocean is like set aside from the rest of the choir and she has a look of absolute terror on her face because she KNOWS. she knows that these are her final moments alive. there isn't anything in tragic fact but idk the other two are pretty compelling to me! imagine how absolutely horrifying that must have been, knowing that you and your closest friends are all about to die on some stupid carnival ride. she had the time to think about everything the other members didn't. like the fact that she would never get to leave uranium no matter what she did, she would be stuck there for eternity. she wouldn't be known for her real accomplishments but for simply dying on a rollercoaster. she could've thought about anything and everything in those final moments. no one else even knew they were going to die until they were already falling, ocean had time to think about it and that's arguably so much worse. yeah, me neither.

the rtc opening song titles go so hard. tragic fact? their death is tragic and raw and emotional. but it’s also a cold hard fact, one that everyone is expected to move on from, one day. except them. they’re dead. fall fair suite? aside from it being “fall fair” as in autumn carnival and “fall not fair” as something that had to happen. was always going to happen. it can also be fall fair as in, where the occurred, the fair. it will always be characterised in the public consciousness as a site of death. waiting for the drop? initially it conveys excitement for the best part of the ride, where endorphins rush and you scream. while you know it’s safe, it doesn’t feel that way. and that energy, that build up, is the point of the ride. but, when you get into it, when you go over it, it’s upsetting. waiting for the drop. waiting for the part that would kill them. waiting for something to suddenly happen that would make their lives meaningful. but if you wait for your life to start, it never does. uranium suite? a juxtaposition of a town we are told is rotting and isolated with grandeur and wealth. kind of like how the upsetting event of their deaths is wrapped up in a flashy musical competition.

Okay, I finally decided to get all my thoughts about 2015 RTC (14/02/2015) into a sort of comprehensive, semi chronological list.

. We already had a Tragic Fact recording, but it's nice to have options. Also they REALLY want you to know they'll be damned if they're working at the mall

. I love Sarah Jane Peltzer's voice

. U.R.A.N.I.U.M is nice, but, God it's hard to hear the lyrics

. According to Kholby, Noel canonically would've written "bisexual werewolf stories", and I just think Noel's terrible writing should be focused on more in fanworks

. Noel's Lament is essentially the same, but it was the version where Monique has a kid. I get why they cut it

. Ocean's dad being left-wing and her mum being right-wing makes for a really interesting conflict, and contextualises "Some of us are left-wing, some of us are right wing..."

. The full version of Play To Win is so different to how imagined it. (And pretty ableist, so yikes) Very catchy though. And I love Rielle Braid.

. Tbh I understand why the crowd loved Play To Win so much.

. As an avid Ocean fan, I really enjoy Brooke Maxwell's whole speech about her character.

. I'd love to see a woman play Mischa in an actual production, however...

. No "take a look baby, he's the real ka-ching"?

. No "Shawtyyyyyy"?

. Is this song even awesome?!?!?

. Talia:

. Let me tell you, I was jumping for joy when Small Things Become Big Things started playing. Well, more accurately, I was so happy I could have jumped for joy but I was saving my energy for other matters.

. References aside, STBBT was almost exactly how I expected it to be, although it was slightly short

. "Once I saw a homeless person eat a raccoon" I love Elliot Loran.

. "Okay, I'm totally having a nervous breakdown right now and I'm going to go grab a beer, and you guys should go grab a beer cause it's intermission" I. Love. Elliot. Loran!

. Early Space Age Bachelor Man was somehow even crazier, also, is it bad that I prefer "Their generals are on holiday, Oh Ricky Potts, what should we do?" to the current one?

. "I spent a lot of time staring at other people's skin and wishing it was my skin" I also love Sarah Jane Peltzer.

. The early Ballad was a lot more on the nose than the current one. Special shout-out to the lyrics: "At the end of the day we're just dead" and "It must be nice, To have a body attached to their head"

."AMELODYFLOATSTHROUGHTHEAITWHENSILENCEFALLSDOESNOONECARE"

. As always, Sugar Cloud is brilliant.

. "Isn't that recorder solo the bomb?" Did I mention I love everyone in this cast?

. Three things one guy on the team suggested: Jane gets wings and ascends into the sky. Everyone comes back to life. KARNAK GETS A SONG?!?

. It's Not A Game/ It's Just A Ride really hasn't changed much in 8 years.

. "Kelly, is there anything that doesn't make you cry?"

. La La Love: La la la, lala, la la la. La LALALA?!?

In conclusion, always check SoundCloud.

Tragic Fact fully implies that Penny had a solo, which makes her being unidentified so much scarier I think.

Day 64: Best lead choir singer ever (feat. The rest of The Saint Cassian Chamber Choir)

[headless-lilac]

The other day I realized that these specific bits of Fall Fair Suite and Tragic Fact are like almost the same so i made this.

(the backing music is Fall Fair Suite)

[sleepboysummer]

GUYS PLEASE TALK ABOUT TRAGIC FACT MORE!!!! MISCHA ABSOLUTELY AWFUL AT SINGING?? AN OMINOUS SILENCE WHERE PENNY'S SOLO IS SUPPOSED TO BE??? THE ENTIRE MIDDLE SECTION??? THE COOL CHOREO?? THE CREEPINESS OF IT ALL???

[misconceivedcapricorn]

I like the implication in Tragic Fact that Penny had a wholeass solo.

Like, I guarantee whatever Karnak did accidentally fucked up everyone's memory, because there is no reason for the choir not to remember the name of the girl who had her own solo.

Like, if it were more than 6 people, like a regular choir, I'd understand. But Penny was one of six people. And she was obviously important/talented enough to have her own solo that was also choreographed.

Sacrifice of the flesh for freedom in the spirit
