"Lower the Heavens" by The Donkeys
I've been writing up a storm
recently. Some of it has been fleshing out the worlds of two of my infant
projects that barely exist outside my brain yet—one historical fiction and one sci-fi. But most of my energy has been
going toward editing my dystopian project, The
Renaissance Experiment (older readers may remember it as Renaissance Lab). It's finally
been long enough since I started (nearly seven years already, Jesus) that I've
been able to read it back over with some objectivity.
I prefer instrumental tracks for editing since I get too hung up
on lyrics to pay attention to what I'm reading, and "Lower the
Heavens" has been a real favorite of mine lately. Give it until 1:10 or so
to really get going, and goddamn then it really does. It's particularly good
for "let's all band together to pull off something awesome" sorts of scenes, though I imagine it would also lend itself well to romantic scenes.
You may have noticed that I have gone back to the old Short Post
and a Song format. It was a fun experiment while it lasted, but I've realized an
important factor that I managed to overlook previously: The songs I feel
inclined to make jokes about are not often the songs I actually enjoy. And I just
didn't like the idea of in any way endorsing songs I don't like, since this
blog is my Velocikingdom where I rule as an all powerful God King. (I know it should be Goddess Queen but I like the sound of God
King better, and it's my Velocikingdom, so yeah ... that pretty much makes my
point, actually.)
