resharing this post on here but omgg blursbian on twitter found this scene with no music playing and you can hear alan say 'yötön yö' more clearly like what, i never seen that before 👀 (it's if you turn off music and sound effects in the settings in alan wake 2!!)
Things I would like to see more discussion about regarding Alan Wake 2 #1: Nightless Night.
So, Saga hearing the song in the Watery Overlap causes her to see a fragment of the movie the song is from. So the movie, in whatever form, exists in reality beyond the posters (and don't get me started on Thomas Seine playing Alan Veikki the writer) and was possibly the medium which created the events of Alan Wake the first game from Tom Zane's side.
But it also sets up Ahti as a janitor that joins the Federal Bureau of Control, the "it's not a loop, it's a spiral" and continues to flip flop between rehashing and rewriting Casey's journey through the ZANE'S FILM chapter, Alan's journey through the first game, the cult activities (it even echoes Ilmo's "stab stab stab" speech in the manuscript page about building the float), and whatever it was Barbara Jagger actually was to Tom Zane before they came to America.
The random sunny car ride inserts in true Twin Peaks Season Three style only add to the insanity that makes me wanna scream at the screen.
For the first time in years,
I dreaded the approach of nightless night,
taking over me, slowly engulfing me in its captivating hold;
I was tired, yes, but not without reason,
and I still didn't want to be up,
nor willing to go beyond the realms of my comfort zone,
for there are pieces of me missing from me,
that belong to you, and within your absence,
there is only a long arduous wait that lies ahead of me.
