The lullaby we heard in book 7 has such a deep meaning and it gets me emotional.
It’s used in various ways to repeatedly show love between the characters.
We hear Malleus hum this song that Lilia and Meleanor sang to him when he was in his egg. This song Malleus hums as he puts everyone into a comforting sleep where they can have their happiest dreams.
This song we heard Meleanor sing to eggleus right before she gives her egg away, a final lullaby of love and comfort. Her farewell to Malleus.
The lullaby we hear Lilia sing to Silver in the flashback, something to calm him. Showing him love through a song that means much to him and showing his love for Silver.
Malleus then hums this very song to Silver as well. He doesn’t know where he heard it but he remembers it fondly. He knows it brings comfort so he hums it to baby Silver and we see how Malleus continues to go on and love that baby.
Then we hear this same melody when Silver accepts the love Lilia has for him. It’s in the background. Silver literally states that his father loves him. You can hear it start from the fight with sebek and then the melody increase as Silver accepts that truth of how much he is loved. We see the Knight of Dawn happy to see his son happy again.
We hear Lilia sing it to eggleus. He’s looking for a way to hatch Malleus. Makes him all these promises. Constantly compliments and teases him. And then Lilia, general lilia, sings it to him. Showing him that love and care that he has for him. Malleus flickers in response. Then we get Malleus hatching in the next scene.
And the last scene we hear the Rhythm is with Silver and Lilia. When we see Silver tell Lilia that he wants to talk with him and Lilia agrees. We hear it loud and clear the love and comfort between the two.
The lullaby is literally true love in a song. The way they constantly show true love these characters have for each other gives me awe.
I hope we get this song in a twsttunes. I can’t wait to see how this song will be used again. The way they incorporate the lyrics or the rhythm into the story to show true love just has me feral.
i cant do rankings im too partial for that but my opinion on your opinions
jeff buckley sang like rent was due! if jeff buckley covered your song it's not your song anymore its his and also you're gonna think about it at sunrise for the rest of your life. he had to die before the indie folk girlie's (gn) entered the scene otherwise there'd be carnage.
I hadn't heard bettye lavettes cover before but I love it. I didnt think I would at first but I love what she did to the song. its really amazing when artists aren't afraid to play with the pacing or rhythm of a song they're covering especially in tandem with how she altered the lyrics too. cunt indeed.
i can believe we are augustine truly love and miss the mama in question but I hate what they did to the word me 1:19 seconds in. it's a good cover but it's just that. doesn't radicalise or change it much it's just a good cover ! no shame in that !!
bob dylan voice. godbless joan for being there, yes girl give us something !!!! also I like hearing the audience laugh, some soul. its also fun bc it's such a,,,, I don't wanna say sad but you know what I mean, nostalgic(?) melancholic (?) song it's fun to hear it more upbeat and tempo and hearing them have fun as they do it
bob dylan voice but he wrote the songs so whatever ig
rod was singing as if he was reading the lyrics on a scrap of paper as he went. boring. uninspired.
ITS THE VOWELS !!!! i love a good scouse accent. anyone who knows me knows I love a good fucking accent. you garble your vowels and i want you but not like this george!!!!! you know that annoying tiktok voice filter that warps your voice, george harrison luv.

jack johnson - so embarrassing I actually dig it. i like how the guitar sounds. does it kinda sound like some guy at a party pulling out his guitar? yeah? and it's working on me, sorry. but then he starts singing smth else.
joan baez - godbless her. we need more women to cover it. the speed in which she sings it though.
johnny cash - 😔 idk why he started at the end and he changed colour of the sun caught flat to dark dark night. im not feeling it. just discarded the best parts of the song
Did you like the people who hired you? Are you upset they're dead (if they're dead)?

"Most of my people are dead," he replies, lacing his fingers together in front of himself.
"As for my former employers, I held... much respect for them. I did not always agree with... with how they handled things, specifically my student, but... I loved them. I loved them all so very much, everyone I worked with. Even those I frequently argued with - I still would not have wished the kind of fate on them that came for us."
@heygutlcss / riff sent: “can you still love me?”
she doesn’t like it. throughout her entire life, the pressures of being a wife have been shoved into her head. her mind is crammed with everything from maintaining a working household to reserving her best smiles for her husband. the moment, she was placed in the judge’s household she was trained to be the best wife possible. every ambition she ever attempted to share was squandered by her governesses. wives don’t travel. wives stay at home and look after the household. johanna has tried. from the beginning of her marriage to a man who was no more than a stranger to her, she has tried to be that good wife that she was brought up to be.
but knowing that riff considering seeking out a prostitute is everything she needed to know. she’s failed.
not only their wedding night which johanna knows he was already too good to her for giving her time, but she failed before then. ever since that confession -- that night when they realized they did love each other -- the thought has been on her mind for a wedding night. something the wife is supposed to take charge of in order to please her husband. but it was too much. it was too vulnerable and she wasn’t ready. was he thinking about those women by the docks even then? even after their marriage was no longer for necessity? because she couldn’t be a good wife?
❝ were you really thinking about a prostitute? ❞ she whispers, although they are in the privacy of their loft. that word is a dirty one, according to her upbringing. she doesn’t want to take the chance that anyone might hear her murmuring it. or know that she failed as a wife in the sense that her husband was considering one. fingers curl around the fabric of her skirt. ❝ i don’t . . . i don’t like that. ❞ tone drops until it is barely audible. ❝ at all. ❞

BEING BACK IN PRISON WAS NOT THE IDEAL, but that’s the price to pay for being caught, right? Yancy’s words don’t immediately register with Mark, with him currently still going off on some sort of internal monologue about how he shouldn’t be in prison, about how he’s better than that. He goes through a miniature face journey in the span of a couple of seconds, one that he’s not even aware he’s doing.
But after a moment, he glances to Yancy with a quirked brow, finally allowing the jailbird’s words to sink into his brain. Mark could tell he wasn’t going to like what he was about to hear, but he’d humour Yancy regardless.
“I can imagine you do. Please, do fill me in on how things work!” He has to remain civil, but that doesn’t mean he can entirely feign enthusiasm. Maybe, just maybe, he could actually get along here. Who knows. Mark sure as hell doesn’t.
I had a dream that there was singing/performing competition going on scream it was all so real i woke up and I wa slike megan thee stallion won I'm so happy! before I fully awoke halp. but I'm so glad I didn't have a nightmare <3
