Tuesday Tunes 187: When?
We’ve now reached the third in my six post mini-series ‘inspired’ by the 5Ws and H of journalism, and this week it is the turn of When songs to be played. This one was really difficult for me, as I came up with a list of twenty without having to think too hard, and getting those down to just five took longer than compiling the list in the first place. Spoiler alert: you won’t be hearing the Three…

The Wishing on Space Hardware playlist (story edition) v1.0
Hmm. A touch premature, perhaps, but while my grand finale plans include a stupidly ambitious attempt to compose a playlist of songs fitted to each character I’m using as a point of view (30+!), I have collected enough IBO-feeling songs to do that for fics in the series too. Well, I did after committing to the bit and hunting down ones to fit the stragglers. We are 18 posted out of 20, so there’s a possibility I’ll revise this later. But hey! For the moment, I’m quite happy with how this came out. And if you like mixes of British folk, indie rock, Country-adjacent stuff, and Leonard Cohen, maybe you will be as well. (Special achievement: it’s not wall-to-wall Thea Gilmore songs.)
For those of you just tuning in, my post-canon Iron-Blooded Orphans series Wishing on Space Hardware can be found at Ao3 via all good web browsers (probably the bad ones too). Full spoilers for both seasons of the anime come as standard.
Arc #1: Moving on or standing still
A Handful of Rusted Petals – Embers [Skinny Lister]
Long is the distance, hard is the mile / That drags me away from our innocent smile / Where wild is the welcome, the company right / Far from the rattle and roar of the fight
I like Skinny Lister a lot and thought this fit the bittersweet themes of these vignettes rather well.
The Grandmaster – The Game [The Levellers]
The clock ticked past the final hour / Which of the men had lost? and what was the cost? / The glasses now were empty and gone / To wash away the shame, and take away the pain
While not 100% on the money, this song seems to capture the feel of the Elion vs McGillis conflict, from Elion’s side at least.
To Catch a Falling Star – Get Better [Frank Turner]
So try and get better and don't ever accept less / Take a plain black marker and write this on your chest / Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness / Come on now, let's fix this mess / We could get better because we're not dead yet
Gender flip the lyrics and this is basically Yamagi and Shino in this fic to a T.
Fragments of You/Pieces of Me – Injuries [Skinny Lister]
On the advice of my heart I flew / Into the burning sun / And for the life of me I can’t / Find me a way to return
Because sometimes life is at once fundamentally difficult and nevertheless glorious.
Arc #2: Monsters out of the past
Let Sleeping Angels Lie – Call You Friend [Oysterband]
So many times we’ve disagreed / Don’t count the cost there’s a greater need / We sit and watch each other bleed / That’s why I call you friend
Eugene and Shino’s relationship in a nutshell.
Between Family – The Power of Unity [Masaru Yokoyama]
(With full apologies to Mr Yokoyama. I tried to come up with an actual song but using this track is much funnier. Plus, you know. Smut. I don’t tend to spend much time putting lyrics to that.)
I can picture the polyamorous numpties to this far, far too well.
The Ares Affair – Everybody Knows [Leonard Cohen]
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded / Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed / Everybody knows the war is over / Everybody knows the good guys lost
The point where WoSH swerves hard from ‘fix-it’ to ‘consequences of fixing it’.
The Haunting of Takaki Uno – Don’t Dim Your Light For Anyone [Thea Gilmore]
The world is fierce, it's hard as nails / When you do good but goodness fails / You crawl the road that others run / Don't dim your light for anyone
I find Takaki tricky to write because his voice isn’t quite as distinct as Yamagi or Ride, but I know exactly what I want to capture through him.
Arc #3: The pressure of ghosts
Frozen Sunlight – Apparition #12 [Thea Gilmore]
And I smelled the ghosts of the ashes and the orchids / I've got promises tattooed to the insides of my eyelids / And I'll be watching when the Richter reaches ten / I bled by these weapons, babe, and now I'm one of them
Two Thea Gilmore songs in a row, I know, but they have very different tones and this is on point for my interpretation of Azee.
Of Obsessions and Erotemes – A Good Song Never Dies [Saint Motel]
There was a moment, a hole opened in the sky / A chance to join their pantheon / For all the times they never heard your battle cry / Now even angels sing along
I only encountered this song recently but I can see Iverson to it, so now it’s their villain theme.
Revolution for Beginners and Polyamory for Dumbasses – Modern Way [The Kaiser Chiefs]
Hold on to the basics / But we can't change all our tactics / There's no point sitting / Going crazy on your own
Had originally penciled in ‘Truth Is’ by the Levellers for this, but I think ‘Modern Way’ is more applicable to the whole.
Under a Crescent Moon – Son of the Left Hand [Duke Special]
In dying light my shadow calls / I watch his fingers stalk the walls / And now in hollow down I stumble on / The rubble of my babylon
Goes harder than perhaps the tone of the fic strictly requires, but honestly? I think that’s probably earned by the situation.
Arc #4: Schemes and daydreams
Eugene Sevenstark and the Hesperus Treasure – Plans [Devil and the Deep Blue Sea]
And I should find / A better way to spend my time / Than spinning grand designs / Every day with you
The story dealing with coincidence and anticlimax felt like it needed something soothing as a soundtrack.
Hope Against Hope – All This And Heaven Too [Florence + The Machine]
And I would give all this and heaven too / I would give it all if only for a moment / That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see / 'Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all
I listened to this a lot while writing the next story in the series, but it fits Kudelia too well not to use here.
Love, Death and Cannoli – Fire and Water [The Wandering Hearts]
All love's like fire and water / I ask myself, "Should I bother?" / When you look at me with those big brown eyes / And I know what I'll do / I've tried but it's impossible / Can't keep myself away from you
The Yamagi/Shino song as far as I’m concerned.
Fata Morgana – Belgrade [Battle Tapes]
We pretend in the darkness / We pretend the night won’t steal our youth / Singing me the sweet songs of seduction / Let me be the fool, fool, fool / Who will live and die for you
There are many ways to be seduced and become a fool for others. Also I needed a banging tune for what is, broadly, a long action sequence of a fic.
Arc #5: The end of the world
We Three Kings – Bullet [Saint Motel]
You don't stop a bullet that you set into motion / You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion / So then, why would we fight it? Already ignited / Counting down, down, down, down
This story is inevitable. Or if it isn’t, the major events are underway long before our protagonists arrive. And then there’s that one-in-a-million shot...
History of a Catastrophe – Who By Fire? [Leonard Cohen, live version]
And who by brave assent, who by accident / Who in solitude, who in this mirror / Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand / Who in mortal chains, who in power / And who shall I say is calling?
More Leonard Cohen, with this particularly beautiful version of the song, for an exploration of how terrible systems warp people’s lives.
Ragnarök in G Minor – Battlegrounds [Coco and the Butterfields]
Hey, hey, what do you say when you fall down / Hey, hey, go away from battlegrounds / And I, I feel like I'm living just to stop you winning / So carry on, carry on, carry on ‘til I'm gone
It’s that third line in the chorus. That’s the fic. (Or it will be once I’ve written this monster; the document passed 1MB a couple of weeks back, ye gods.)
A Day in the Light – Something for the Pain [She Drew the Gun]
Walls for the wind / Shelter from the rain / Something for the hunger / And something for the pain
This will be the coda to the series. And I feel this song works well for the history of IBO’s setting. A summing up, if you will.

Tagged by both @junkshop-disco and @jenni3penny 💙
Shuffle your on repeat playlist and list the first 10 songs that play, then tag 10 people.
Indigo Girls - "Secure Yourself"
Restless with an angel's wing / I dig a grave to bury you
Heart - "If Looks Could Kill"
You're missing the mark, shooting in the dark / I'm pulling the wool from my eyes
Capercaillie - "Little Do They Know"
For years now, we've been orphans in a storm / Hanging on in vain for the clouds to unfold
Julia Ecklar - "Threes: Take 3"
Three things are most perilous: a victim with a grin, / A secret you're not in on, and a test you cannot win
Florence + The Machine - "No Light"
You are the silence in between / What I thought and what I said
Jermaine Clement - "Shiny"
Send your armies but they'll never be enough / My shell's too tough
June Tabor & Oysterband - "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
Gets a taste in my mouth / As desperation takes hold
Vesna featuring Věra Martinová - "Bílá Laň"
Tady je tvůj háj, tady je tvůj ráj, / jinam nepatříš
Oysterband - "We Shall Come Home"
I need to touch someone / At the dying of the day
Todrick Hall featuring Bob the Drag Queen- "Wrong Bitch"
And I'll be silent the day I see motherfuckin' monkeys fly / They flyin' now? Hmm
This went way more female vocalist-heavy than I realised my music is -- I don't know if it's that particular playlist or if I have a higher proportion of those than I realise -- and a lot more English-language too. Clearly I need to review/rebuild this playlist to add in a bunch of the other stuff I've been listening to regularly.
Not tagging anyone in particular cause I'm a lazy bum, but grab it if you want?

Tuesday Tunes 174: River Still Runs
Six months ago I themed one of these around river. In that one I generally went for the big names, but looking back through my notes I realised that I still had more I could play for this, so here we are again with more river songs. With a difference: this time I’m going for the less familiar, and they comprise a fairly reflective set, too – no loud noises, as we had enough of those here with…

An Iron-Blooded Orphans playlist
I have a post concerning Iok halfway done but it's been a bad week for productivity, so here's some frivolity instead, namely the music I use to put myself in the zone for writing IBO fanfic at the moment (I’ve been doing it a year straight now, send help).
General songs for the mood
The entirety of IBO's soundtrack. It's great. I can also recommend the music from the SD CrossRays adaptation of Iron-Blooded Orphans: Gekko (the spin-off manga). It's a different style to the main series stuff, but equally internally consistent and very fitting to the story - the tracks are easy to find on YouTube.
RAGE OF DUST by SPYAIR – obviously.
Fighter by KANA-BOON – equally duh.
Six Feet by Patent Pending – speaks to the reasons everyone's in this mess.
Blood and Money by The Orion Experience – ditto, in the key of 'very gay'.
The Recruiting Sergeant by The Levellers – there are dozens of version of this song; this is the most modern I'm aware of. It's my go-to song for conscripts, fools and other people in the military out of poor life choices (or lack thereof).
A New England by Kirsty MacColl – I genuinely have no idea why this song makes me think of IBO, and specifically the relationships. It's not remotely fitting and yet it chimed so strongly that I named my fic series after a line from it.
Embers by Skinny Lister – A song for the series epilogue.
Get Better by Frank Turner – A song for everything after the epilogue, at least as it exists under my keyboard.
Character songs
(Please bear in mind I write mainly post-canon, so these are evoking specific versions of the characters – ask me to show my working if you want!)
Wolf Like Me by TV On The Radio – Mikazuki/fighting, basically.
Easy As Sunrise by Holy Moly & The Crackers – McGillis/the idea of Mikazuki and Tekkadan.
Apparition #13 by Thea Gilmore – Julieta, in terms of the role she puts herself in.
My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit – Kudelia, in moments of weariness.
Some Kind of Hero by Felix Hagan & the Family – Eugene, somewhat indirectly. It's what he wants to be.
Parallax by Afterlight – Yamagi, for both words and emotion.
Rattle & Roar by Skinny Lister – SHINO.
Call You Friend by Oysterband – Shino and Eugene's friendship, among others.
Skin and Bones by Cage The Elephant – Ride, post series. Poor sod.
The Road You Didn't Take by Stornoway – Gaelio, also post series. Poor sod.
Fall Together by Thea Gilmore – Almiria, again post series. Poor everyone else.
(I am collecting character songs in advance of doing that tedious thing of quoting relevant lines at the end of chapters, so this list will likely be expanded later. In the meantime, if you have happened to swing over to my Ao3, I should note that Major Iverson’s song is Fight for Me by AlicebanD. You’ll know why.)
