Felt like there was some sort of connection between Elsa’s Song and The Rockrose and the Thistle (mostly with the haunting silence as opposed to their more instrumental songs) so I decided to make a quick lil lyric analysis and now I present to you, A Thing:
I can hear the cannons calling as though across a dream// When you call to me asleep up the ragged cliffs I scramble
And I can smell the smoke of hell in every stitch and seam // When your seams have come unknitted
And then you’ll cry to our painted sky // And you cry out to the sky
You will scream, "I won't forget you" // And you'll wail, you'll scream, but I'll never stop
And in years to come you'll wander to the place up on our hill // I wake and hear you calling and up those cliffs I climb
Anyway, I love these songs & this band very much <3
Something that The Amazing Devil does so beautiful is that even though a lot of their songs are very wordy they don't rush or skip over the rests in-between. And my favorite examples of this are Elsa's Song and Old Witch Sleep/Good Man Grace, because in old with/good man the beggining is so nice because they put so much pauses between each phrase and even parts like the "Sleep now, oh, she said" there is this smallest rest between the "Now" and "Oh" and it's so subtle but if you don't do that rest it's very very noticeable because your just slurring these two (almost) very short phrases of their own. Then in Elsa's Song l love how the tempo and when they come in, is almost dragging, they are coming in at the very last second of the beat and it makes the tone of the song so so so good
"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!

No but the tender "it cannot be a lie if a no one hears" in Elsa's Song, and the mournful echo in Love Run (reprise) makes me want to fucking scream.
I won't listen to your reassurance because the only thing worse than not hearing you is hearing you lie to me. I don't want your sympathy or your pity, I want the truth and I want it to be you but it never can because you WILL forget me. You will. And I would rather die alone pretending you still love me than continue to live whilst you make those same gentle promises to someone else. My last memories of you will not be lies. You won't lie to me, you can't. If I simply cover my ears and shut my eyes, you will remember me. I ask, I sing, I beg, "remember me. Visit my grave, scatter flowers, tell the world who I was. Just don't forget me," but you will. This story can't end any other way, so don't make a promise you can't keep. Let me keep that precious memory of my trust in you until the end, and then you can do as you will. There will be nothing to forgive, because there will be no lies. Not if I can't hear you.
Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket A/Tier 1 Round 1
Shaman of Songs: Na'vi River Journey (2017-current) - Animal Kingdom Disney World
Propaganda:
"it’s stunning, a true marvel of engineering, it was magic to look at"
"Have you SEEN how beautiful this animatronic is??? And I don't mean like physically (although she IS very pretty) but on a technical side the Shaman of Songs has absolutely amazing movement and the early ads for this ride literally had the animatronic itself speaking to the audience as if it were an actor. Amazing tech right there"
"She's absolutely gorgeous, her movements are so smooth and lifelike it's incredible. Easily one of the most impressive animatronics in the Disney parks."

Elsa: World of Frozen/Frozen Ever After (2023-current) - Hong Kong Disneyland (also Epcot, but we are talking about the highly superior Hong Kong versions, that don't have a projected face lmao)
The duet between the main hero and villain in Disney’s Wish sounds like a love song out of context and I hope to god someone makes a Jack Frost X Toothiana or Jelsa or Jackunzel AMV.
