I think the Ineffable Husbands' Song tells us something about S3.
S1 Ends with the first Verse:
"That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square"
Tumblr media
S2 is the reverse of the 2nd Verse:
"I may be right
I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square"
Tumblr media
The finale verse is:
"The streets of town
Were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square"
Tumblr media
I think S3 will end with this part of the song playing with the husbands kissing under the stars.

The look on Aziraphale's face when Crowley tells him he's just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. MY HEART.

I don’t want there to be a nightingale at the end of Good Omens while Aziraphale and Crowley are holding hands dining at the Ritz. No, I don’t want a nightingale. I want there to be a murmuration of nightingales.
I want them to soar through Berkeley Square, singing their lungs dry as passersby watch in awe, and as the angel and the demon who they are singing for are too busy staring into each others eyes and getting lost in the love that they find there to even notice the world around them; they don’t need it, because have all the world they need in each other.
I want the nightingales to flock away into the darkening sky, and as their song reaches a crescendo, I want Aziraphale and Crowley to kiss in a way that is so gentle and yet so passionate that it renders them both breathless. I want them to press their foreheads together and cradle each others faces in their hands while the song of the nightingales fade away. I want them to smile, and wipe each others’ happy tears away, and just be present with one another, because they finally can be.
(The murmuration leaves a single nightingale behind in Berkeley Square, its song still playing out across the night air, accenting the exchanged I love you in between the angel and the demon sitting below.)

OKAY. I DISCOVERED A HEART WRENCHING FACT.
(SPOILERS FOR GOOD OMENS 2 AHEAD)
Both seasons of Good Omens made me curious as to what is truly around St. James’s Park as it is known that Aziraphale and Crowley have a specific bench they meet at in St. James’s Park to have conversations. Which is great. This is what I choose to do with my time. Also 99% sure Crowley has been taking Aziraphale on dates unknowingly (or extremely knowingly) as the London Eye is extremely close to there as is The Ritz and Buckingham Palace.
I wish I was making up that there is seriously a “NIGHTINGALE HOSPITAL” DOWN THE ROAD FROM THERE. HAVE MERCY. Was this intentional?! Of all the names they could’ve given that hospital.

The presentation of music in season two, and season one, of Good Omens is so important to me. But I find it hard to put into words just how so. So instead of losing my mind trying to figure out how to do all of that, I want to express my feelings over specifically “Everyday” and “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” and how they are used.
A huge emphasis was put on music this season. And a lot of the music defied my expectations of how it would be used having listened to the soundtrack before watching the season (And honestly I think part of why GOFLB specifically was included in the soundtrack was because, not just a nod to fans, the fandom had dubbed that THEIR song— or maybe just specifically Crowleys song for them…) And before was had s2, a lot of people assumed “Everyday” would again, be Crowley and Aziraphales song. Music surrounds them of course, and very often it defines them. So I had assumed the same for “Everyday”. Bringing them closer, everyday, fast paced notions leading to love. But it wasn’t their song. It was Gabriel and Beezlebubs. That song is the demonstration of their love for each other. More important than any other demonstration of love that could have been shown. That song is the most important thing to them. It makes them happy. And represents them at their best and most caring, especially toward eachother. That song is their triumph, their peace, and their beginning.
So no. Everyday is not Crowley and Aziraphales song. Because they already have their own song. That being, “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” of course.
That song is important to them. It’s practically about them, made for them, without it actually being so. It is what played while they dined together after the near end of the world, the thing that solidified the fact they didn’t have to hide anymore. They heard it play, and decided it was theirs— or at least Crowley did— but the fact Crowley brought it up at all makes me think it’s both of theirs. He knows how important this song is to the both of them. And knows that Aziraphales knows exactly what he’s saying, and what he means by it. Then and now.
The impossible had happened, an angel and demon won together against all of heaven and hell, they stopped the apocalypse (more or less) and they lived together, and a nightingale did sing.
It’s their song. Something sweet to be an outward representation of them. And it makes what comes hurt so much fucking more. It hurts after watching Gabriel and Beelzebub sing their song together, as they go off to live their lives, just themselves— and then Crowley takes that song that is theirs. That represents their triumph. Their love. And he says that it is gone. That there is nothing left there. That that’s the point. That silence is the point, and it’s been the defining point for both of them for four unresolved years of silence.
Because that’s what it feels like, right? Contrasting this ending to the end of s1, to what they could have compared to the other angel and demon. What they’re both trying to do (though Crowleys trying to say specifically what Aziraphale wants to do) isn’t a victory. It isn’t good, it’s not truly wanted, and it isn’t that same care that led them to the ritz after the last dangerous game they played with heaven and hell. There is no ritz, there is no nightingale, there is no song.
It’s quiet. And it’s not a good quiet. Because their lives are a constant lively dance. And the dance is over. And they’ve stepped out (and then Crowley doubly steps out after the kiss, after the “I forgive you”) That silence hurts.
That moment after the almost apocalypse, I would say, is the most on page they have ever been outside of simply trying to save the world, outside of simply trying to live. That was most peaceful with (almost) nothing to hide or lie about. No danger to worry for, not yet. The danger is momentarily gone.
That music being gone highlights how wrong everything with them has been. It’s been gone. At least the music they needed wasn’t there anymore. Nothing is light, or peaceful, or perfect. Because they can’t have that impossible happiness. Because they both want different things. Their approaches are so different that it leads to this break.
And when the music does come back (it comes back strong with the kiss specifically before it dies out back to defeated suffering silence again) it isn’t a good thing then either. Because it’s already been distorted.
The song plays for Crowley as soon as he starts the car. To start his own descent, away, to where? Who knows. Just not the bookshop. Whether that was because that was the Bentleys attempt at comfort, because he had the song cued up for them both— because it’s their song as they were to head to the ritz— like he wanted, or because his emotions are fucked and the song playing was the embodiment of that hurt. it all ends with him choosing to turn it off. It states that a nightingale sang, and he rejects that. He shuts it off. Because it can’t just be his song. It’s supposed to be their song. And it’s supposed to be their song of triumph, of personal choice. Of choosing eachother. But that didn’t happen. And now it’s just him. And so he leaves in silence.
No nightingales indeed.

Waiting for my angel...
Long time no see!
Sorry for my absence, but I had a quite rough time lately and didn't paint anything special. But today I thought I should finally post my Crowley -inspired photos from London. I did the trip in September and the weather on that day wasn't the best, but I menaged to capture a few of Crowley-ish expressions and, most importantly, I visited St. James Park, Berkeley Square (where nightingale sings) and also saw The Ritz - sadly all rooms were booked so I didn't stay. :P
The trip was amazing, as you may know, I am a musical theatre student so I've watched eight amazing shows on West-End and had a really great time sightseeing London. Of course visiting some places from GO was one of the most important points on my "to see" list.

So I think I've cracked this moment.
Tumblr media
So this moment has bothered me. I've seen several people say this is Crowley breaking up with Aziraphale, but I think it has a different meaning. I think he's saying, "I understand."
Hear me out.
It was actually listening to the song Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy that caused me to have a little epiphany. I love how it's juxtaposed over Crowley rushing back to Aziraphale, indicating that he is the Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, but there is more to it.
That song was released in 1976, which is a time when being gay or being queer of any kind was deeply frowned upon. Though laws in the UK banning same sex relationships had been lifted by this time, for consenting adults over the age of 21. Freddie explicitly coming out at this time was something that could have ended his career. Freddie danced with the media on this one, hinted but was never forthright and kept his romantic life largely under wraps. This is something that queer people did in general and had to do well into the 90s. They flirted in code, they romanced behind closed doors. They kept their love out of sight.
Much like our Ineffable Husbands.
Editing to add- that the reason this triggered something for me, is that despite the secrecy, Freddie Mercury got up on stage and sang a song about a man taking another man out on a date at the Ritz. Everyone knew. Just no one knew knew. And it wasn't enough to end his career. Much like our Ineffable Husbands. Everyone knows, including them. Just no one says a thing about it.
Which brings me back to A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square.
This song is about one magical night. A couple meet, fall in love, feel the magic of their romance, and then as the sun comes up they go home. It is something like a dream that has to be let go with the harsh light of day. But there is hope, because sometimes they can hear the echo of the nightingale. A promise perhaps to meet again.
So I think it is widely assumed that there is more to the 1941 flashback. I tend to concur. I think we will see the origin of why this song is important to them. I suspect the song is about them. They have one magical night, where they are both brave and express their love for each other. But then the sun comes up and they realise that they have to go back to their lives. I think they will acknowledge that the incident with the zombies was a close call, and they need to cool off and stay away from each other. Slow down.
Tumblr media
So 1967 is the first time they have seen each other since. They both know how they feel, they're just waiting for the right time. They shouldn't have met at all, except Aziraphale wants to give Crowley the holy water. I think that explains the awkwardness but also their softness toward each other. It's a meeting of lovers, but the time isn't right just yet. No nightingales are singing. That's what Aziraphale means by "You go too fast for me." Not yet, it's too soon. We're still under suspicion.
Tumblr media
So the end of season one, the world is not over and our ineffable husbands are free. What do they do? They go for date at the Ritz. You can not tell me this is not a date. Sorry, don't believe you. "The Ritz is the most romantic hotel in the world." It's like their whole selling point. It's why it pops up in the lyrics of Berkley Square, and also in the lyrics of Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy. It's the place where magic happens. And for me, the playing of the song, and the reference from God herself, it's saying the time is right. They can finally be together again. This is their moment.
So Season Two. I've read reviews of season two where people liken it to fanfiction. Neil calls it is a bridge season. I think it's the dream. Not actually a dream, I don't think Neil is that unoriginal. But in the song they liken that one magical night to a dream. It's a fantasy that they get to live until the sun comes up. They get to live their dream for four years. They are together and they are in love but they are still living in secret. They still don't acknowledge it. They're still holding back. One of the themes in this series is timing is everything. Maggie and Nina's relationship doesn't work because timing. The magic trick worked the time it mattered. Timing is important, and the ineffable husbands are bad at it. They should have thrown themselves into this but they were too cautious and they missed their chance.
Tumblr media
I think this conversation is when Crowley realises. Not that he is love with Aziraphale, that was established in 1941. But that everyone knows anyway. There is no reason to hide. No one cares that they're an item. Aziraphale has a similar epiphany after his chat with Shax. So they both decide to move the relationship along, but damn do they have bad timing.
Now I am as confused and heart broken as anyone about the final fifteen. And I am certain that there is something that we are not seeing, a trick that we've missed. There are six minutes unaccounted for. Neil says its a continuity error, but he's demon, he lies.
So here is what I think, and why this line "that's the point, no nightingales" is important. At some point during that conversation Crowley catches on. Whether they have a moment of stopped time, or the fact that Aziraphale is acting so utterly unhinged, there is something that happens that we don't see and it clues him in. He is hurt and angry yes, but he understands. What he is understanding is that the dawn came stealing up, and that the interlude is over. The nightingales stopped singing, and they have to go back to work. He gets it and that's how he lets Aziraphale know.
"You're an idiot, we could have been us." He doesn't like the plan, whatever it is. He thinks running would have been preferable, but he is resigned to it.
Then that kiss. One last goodbye just in case the world ends? Desperate longing and years of pent up frustration? I don't think the trick is here. I think this is misdirection. We're all looking at the kiss, we missed the coded message that came right before. I think "No nightingales" may also suggest that this isn't the kiss. The romantic kiss will come later, when the nightingales sing again. And they will, of that I'm certain now.
The song playing in the car, a message from Aziraphale or from the Bentley reminding him to have hope. Two things we know about Crowley. He is an optimist. He loves to rescue his angel. We also know that he is the trusted stooge with the steady hand. Aziraphale will perform the theatrics, he will do the rest. The fact that he waited and didn't just storm off like he did when he was rejected in series 1 tells Aziraphale that he is still here. He's still in this.
That's my interpretation anyway.
