Character Song Review Minute: "Eyes on Fire" by Blue Foundation (as remixed by Zeds Dead)
Apparently it's been nearly a year since the inaugural (and only) Character Song Review Minute. Unacceptable!
I think there are drabbles/ficlets I ought to be commenting on, but my focus has been scattered, so pardon my indulging in cracked-outedness instead. I'll get back to serious business one of these days, hand to Melkor. In the meantime, the characters and I review a remixed rendition of "Eyes of Fire" by Blue Foundation.
Huinárë: This song is my current obsession. Firstly, the melody and tone are sort of pretty, sort of dark, yet sort of energizing. Secondly, I prefer this remix to the original, though both are good. Somehow I have really been into dubstep remixes lately. I find them sort of hypnotic. Thirdly, well, the lyrics. I imagine it's supposed to have some sort of romantic/sexual subtext, but I don't prefer to read things that way these days, so a few things came at once to mind. Such as facing one's literal and metaphorical enemies with a simmering contempt and determination. And also House Bolton because, well, I don't think that needs further explanation. And also it sums up certain palantiri hijinks in my 'verse quite aptly.
Mairon: This...music is very, hmm, technological. Which is not a bad thing in itself. I think this could grow on me. I am certainly sold on the lyrics, which I think describe literally or figuratively what happens to, well, pretty much anybody who crosses me. Particularly decrepit!Curumo in the Third Age. But anyone, really.
Curumo: This songworries and vexes me leaves much to be desired. Not only are the lyrics unsubtle and naught but posturing, Mairon and the writer-thing are in league against me the deluge of electronic noise sounds like a gigantic sheep bleating incessantly.
Olórin: I don't get it. At all. Give me some merry flutes any day. However, I'm sure this music will improve upon generous usage of pipeweed and cider, as do most things.
Pallandë: I would be reasonably fond of this if it weren't giving me extremely traumatic flashbacks (see Mairon's comment). No matter.
Draugluin: This song is clearly about revenge. Which is good, I mean, sometimes all one wants is a bit of revenge. A bit, you know, not a prolonged reeking helping of it (see Pallandë's comment). Oh god I don't know what to believe anymore.
Ancalagon: If there is flaying to be done, I shall do it in the name of Lord Melkor. Your lamentations and cries for mercy shall avail you nothing.
