#silo#the altogether#this one's mine#again this is one of my favorites#and the theme of traveling and finding yourself#are so intereting in it#it's definitely different that see the day and bigger sky#but it has some of those same ideas in a new way

okay. the og see the day is a revelation.
the new see the day is a celebration.
it started as coming to terms with how you never though you were going to make it. but you did. and you’re going to keep making it. now, it is a celebration of all those days you pressed on. whether it was your highest highs, or your lowest lows. you still made it. you made it to the next day. and sometimes, that’s all you can do.
you were going to see the day. now you have. and we are so glad to have you here this day, and every day on.
#silo#the altogether#bdg#see the day#loving see the day hours also#i love the discussion of how the new version has changed#while still making me cry

must be a dream 🤝 history read 🤝 forever endeavor 🤝 slowly
you can’t predict the future, and you can’t live in the past. the best thing you can do is focus on now, and make that the best moment it can be.

some maybe tomorrow / bigger sky / mountain man song / clean slated state parallels because im still thinking abt this:
"gonna go somewhere they don't know i exist"
"i don't need someone to talk to, i don't need a friend. i just need a road i can walk to wherever it ends"
"his empty bed reminds him every day, there's no one left to love you in LA"
"i don't have someone. but i want someone. i need someone, i need a new me"
/
"can a day go by without longing for that crisp air and the blue open sky?"
"ive been painting on my walls just to see some waterfalls"
"he walked off to find a place with nature's poetry and grace"
"walk from the city, a new day to seize. the mist all condenses and drips from trees"
/
"i love the sound of that word cause it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here which is just wonderfully absurd"
"i hope i can lay my hat there and call it my home. i hope it leads me out of the city to a pretty little place of my own cause ive never had the room to dream to fly. so ive gone out searching for a bigger sky"
"reaching the top he decided to stop. his eyes did close, his bags did drop onto the ground where he would make his home. the soft and fertile ground that was his home. a mountain man has finally found his home"
"my clean slated state"

MY silo thoughts <3
I feel like we've been waiting for this album forever and I'm so proud of what they did with it it's just a very deeply lovely sweet album I can't express how fond of it I am. I'll skip over the first three but theyre timeless classics and I danced in my room to them before the album was released !
follow through studio version nearly made me cry & I already had it stuck in my head after it ended. Hearing this song again is like seeing an old friend who's changed a bit but you fall right back into your old beats of friendship :-)
tug of war kid was not my thing at first but when the last part kicked in I lost my mind..... I think this is the moment when I was like this album will be legendary
BIGGER SKY...INSTANT LOVE! This song was written for me everything about it so deeply personally & musically jives with me. STRONG contender for favorite track on the album.
10/31 is about halloween!!!! I have never experienced that :)
All i wrote in my notes for 'this one's mine' was 'has vibes ( ꈍᴗꈍ)'
Must be a dream is so BITTER SWEET! the part where he sings 'must have been a dream'... WOWWWWW....
I started tearing up at the first notes of see the day. I feel like I'm conditioned to cry at this song. The added instruments made me cry harder. If listening to the new follow through was like seeing an old friend, listening to this was like coming home finally....Whether it was to a home you'd lived in before or if you'd finally found it for the first time. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the altogether's music is like someone telling you it's okay to cry in front of them
newton's first was cute! It reminded of me of stuff like let's be realistic and billy & anne... sweet & silly stories in songs
Once it was over I had to take a break to breathe.. . This album was everything i wanted & more. i cant believe it's their debut album. You can tell a lot of love & care went into it and the more I learn about its production the more I adore it. This album instantly means so much to me

Radio Free Samwell
@exhibit-no-restraint sent along an awesome prompt requesting Jack falling for the school radio station DJ, and this is what popped out! Thank you for donating and I hope you like it!
Jack Zimmermann considers himself a creature of habit. As a collegiate level athlete with designs on going pro, Jack has to be diligent; routine isn’t just a necessity, it’s a mandate.
This is the reason Jack’s so surly when his 4:30 alarm starts blaring Single Ladies instead of the expected classic rock. At first, he thinks it must be a mistake, so Jack checks the station: 96.9 ‘Radio Free Samwell’.
Sitting in his twin bed, sheets rucked around his waist, Jack presses the heel of his palm against his eye and resigns himself to a new year and a new morning DJ.
Goodbye Journey, hello Beyoncé.
_________
“You’re looking particularly surly this morning,” Shitty greets from the landing when Jack manages to stumble downstairs, half focused on tying his shoes. “You’re usually so chipper before you terrorize the incoming class.”
“Woke up to the wrong song,” Jack yawns, rolling onto his toes to pop his spine. “Trying not to take it as a sign of how the season’s gonna go.”
“Oh, day one and we’ve already got Mister Cynical,” Shitty catches the yawn. “That is a sign.”
Jack gives Shitty the finger.
_________
Hall pulls Jack aside after initial introductions.
“I need you to keep an eye out for anyone that needs improvement. There’s a freshman enrolled on waivers that submitted for scholarship and showed potential; I’d like to give him a shot if we’ve got any weak links.”
Jack casts a glance to the freshman running drills with Shitty and Johnson. They all appear to be decent talent, if rusty from a summer without conditioning.
“What kind of potential?”
“Ex-figure skater. Skinner-type. Speedy winger with some level of contact aversion.”
“Contact aversion? You could tell that from his tape?”
Hall nods.
“Never seen so much spin-o-rama in a submission. Skilled, but he was doing everything possible not to get checked. We don’t need the kid but I don’t like leaving talent on the table, especially when it’s already here.”
Jack takes a second look at the freshman, now with something amorphous to compare them to. Johnson catches Jack’s eye and waves. Jack waves back without thinking.
“I’ll keep an eye out.” He echoes, knowing that while the request is somewhat benign, he’s definitely been directed to cull the fat from the incoming class.
__________
Jack blinks awake, not to a high energy tune, but to a soft, accented voice wishing him a good morning. Or, rather, wishing all of Samwell a good morning; but for a brief moment Jack’s bleary enough to live in a world where he’s just that special to be receiving a personal shout out.
The moment passes when the next song begins to play and Jack rolls over, covering his ears with his pillow to escape the synth bop.
___________
Jack wakes to Nicki Minaj and rolls over to grab his phone, squinting at the bright light as he texts the radio line with misplaced irritation. He’s only half awake but he can bitch like the best of them when he needs to.
Jack definitely doesn’t expect to hear a reply so quickly after the song ends.
“Wow. And I thought it was just campus security and my lonesome self out here. This student seems to have taken umbrage with my choice of music this morning and has suggested if I must play ‘pop’ music I sprinkle in a little ‘culture’. Well, mysterious student who has no reason to be awake and this rude at 4:30 AM, I guess I can meet you halfway. Hope you like Mika.”
Jack stares at his radio as the mildly accusatory opening refrain of ‘Grace Kelly’ begins drifting from the speakers. Jack actually does enjoy Mika.
‘You know Mika recorded a live album with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra?’
Jack doesn’t receive a reply, because it’s a one way line, but the next song is the orchestral version of Relax (Take It Easy), the soft rendition so gentle it nearly sends Jack right back to sleep. He slaps the snooze button before he loses his rhythm, and when the radio clicks on again five minutes later, the music that pumps through the small speakers is something Jack doesn’t recognize.
____________
The next morning, Jack wakes to late 2000s Britney Spears.
‘What was that about culture?’ Jack texts blearily.
After the song finishes, that soft, southern voice comes on the air and sighs, “I shouldn’t reward bad behavior, but I’m also certain you’re the only person on campus listening right now.”
The next track is another Mika song. Jack takes the victory and texts ‘Thank you. I like having a routine.’
Three minutes later, Relax (Take it Easy) plays again.
For the following week, at 4:30 AM sharp, there is a song from the same Mika album. Jack’s not even necessarily a fan, but he appreciates the gesture from this faceless DJ with an adorable voice.
____________
Petersen starts to fade around week three. Jack would assume some measure of partying is the culprit, but then he starts hearing the rumors about Yale sniffing around rival schools to poach talent after a disappointing recruiting season and losing several players to NHL development deals.
“Time to give that back-up kid a call?” Jack asks. “Petersen’s itching to bounce.”
“Might be time,” Hall agrees. “We’ll talk to Nathan and if he’s a goner we can bring Bittle in. If this happens, can I count on you to get him up to speed?”
The Jack of a few short years ago would have been insulted by the question, at the loose implication he can’t handle working with a new teammate, but he’s gone through enough therapy to know better, now.
“How much speed we talking?” Jack jokes, relishing the smile he gets from his coach.
____________
For the first time since he’s returned to Samwell, Jack wakes to a song that predates 2005. It takes a moment to adjust, and just like that, the new routine is gone. With Petersen gone, and a new winger stepping up to take his place, maybe it’s a sign of normalcy returning to the Samwell Men’s Hockey team.
____________
Eric Bittle introduces himself, voice light, bearing a familiar accent, and Jack’s first damning thought is that Bittle doesn’t have a face for radio.

The only version of a Princess Bride remake I would maybe kind of accept (aside from a Muppet version): the framing story is this extremely meta exploration of the fact that they’re remaking The Princess Bride.
Like, it’s a bunch of actors at the table read, and the main story would be the “movie footage” of those actors in the remade film, but the film would periodically cut back to those actors during the table read, who are skeptical of certain points, or fangirling over moments in the movie, or wondering how they could ever live up to the original version. Everyone has different opinions about the movie and the characters and the other actors and it’s about seven different levels of chaotic meta and character dynamics. For extra fun,these different opinions about the movie and the characters are reflected in the “movie footage”. Like, say, Buttercup’s actress objects to the fact that she’s less than useless during the fire swamp scene, so they play the scene with Buttercup walloping ROUSes with previously unseen martial arts skills. But then someone else objects to how stupid that is, and the next scene has her going back to exaggerated uselessness. Or one actor thinks Humperdinck should be played with mustache-twirling villainy, and another one thinks he should have complex layers of emotional turmoil, so the “footage” pingpongs randomly between those two interpretations.
And then you could add to the meta by having some of the original cast among the remake cast’s actors–like, they were brought in for nostalgia cameos, but then they have opinions about how the story is supposed to go and start coaching the remake actors. Which leads to things like, suddenly Cary Elwes is in black and “playing the part” of Westley for a scene or two in the “movie footage” with no acknowledgement of the change.
I’m just saying that, from the first publication of the original book, The Princess Bride has been all about the adaptation process. So if we have to have a remake, let’s live up to that legacy and make it a remake about remakes.
