Musical/Rock Opera adaptation of War of the Worlds on vinyl. It's a ridiculous concept but the music absolutely slaps.
Found in a used record store in Atlanta

if I had a nickel for every time I have seen a Russian language rock opera based on the Silmarillion, I would have two nickels
which isn’t a lot, but it’s wild that it happened twice

One of the greatest rock operas of all time, the album 01011001 by Ayreon.
"01011001 is the seventh studio album by Arjen Anthony Lucassen's long-running Ayreon project. "01011001" is the binary representation of the ASCII value of the letter Y.
"01011001 is a concept album that tells the story of aliens called the "Forever", who create humanity, only to later endanger it by providing it with technology.
"Seventeen singers in total, including Lucassen himself, contributed to the album, more than any other Ayreon album. Apart from Lucassen, only Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering) and Floor Jansen (After Forever, Nightwish) had sung on previous Ayreon albums, on Into the Electric Castle and Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer respectively."

Still laughing at Brian May offhandedly writing the greatest understatement in the history of academia in his astrophysics doctoral dissertation:
Ah, yes - “various pressures.” Like being one of the greatest guitarists ever and playing/writing/singing for the most legendary rock band of all time.
Those various pressures.
#queen#Brian May#just a rock and roll god and also an astrophysicist#it’s like Deacon casually inventing the technology for all modern bass stereos bc he was an electrical engineer#a side gig of being a genius#along with their friends ‘learned opera at 5yo and literally SAW music’ and ‘chaos tornado with a promising career in dentistry’#Music#shut up e#these are twitter thoughts but twitter is dead so now I subject you all to them

Your art style is just so delicious!!! It’s got such low key Ghibli vibes, especially in the eyes, and your color control is fantastic. You’re amazing, keep rockin it! ✨
aw yay, Ghibli vibes!! I grew up on those movies, they've definitely inspired me to create. Thank you sm <3
wanted to draw some small ghibli ghoap after getting this ask. 'Ghost's moving castle'
#ask#anon ask#ghostsoap#my art#cod fanart#doodle#ive actually thought about ghibli ghoap before so you're just feeding the fire#feel like their roles could easily be reversed in this au#with ghost being cursed and moving in with chaotic wizard soap#but then i thought about Howl's bird/creature form and I just really like imagining ghost like that#oh ghost youve enchanted me with ur phantom of the opera pathetic mystery man vibe#feel like a princess mononoke au would ROCK with these two#anyway thank u for mentioning ghibli bc i love ghibli

As a holiday gift, I commissioned Aoife O'Dea to sing Luthien's Lullaby from the Lay of Leithian musical.
There couldn't be a more perfect fit- Aoife, who played Arwen in Watermill Theatre's Lord of the Rings musical last year, and Luthien, Arwen's elven ancestor, using the magic of song to send us off to sleep.
Dreams, on the wings of music hover...
Voice and harp- Aoife O'Dea
Original music and lyrics- Skadi
English lyrics- @nereb-and-dungalef, @quixoticanarchy, and @sewn-with-lilies-fair
Lyrics under the cut.
Day fades to night,
Sunset hides its light ‘til dawn’s unveiling.
Stars out of sight
Shine over those whose strength is close to failing.
I sing before the lord of darkness,
Minstrel in the halls that echo starless.
Dreams on the wings of music hover-
Sleep, bow your head to peaceful slumber.
Sleep…
On gentle wings
Mist turns the mountains sapphire as the ocean.
Like waves I sing,
And from the strands of fate my verse is woven.
Over the night the moon is sailing
Onward, to the shores where sleep is waiting.
Dreams on the wings of music hover-
Wait, bow your head to peaceful slumber.
Wait…
Fine threads of rain
Upon your window weave a satin curtain.
Lay down your pain,
And let oblivion relieve your burden.
Hear how the restless wind is sighing-
Quiet, for the storm has ceased its crying.
Dreams on the wings of music hover-
Hush, bow your head to peaceful slumber.
Hush…
#happy holidays everyone <3#lay of leithian#lay of leithian rock opera#lol the rock opera#beren and luthien#silmarillion#tolkien#лэ о лэйтиан#lord of the rings#lord of the rings musical#lotr the musical#watermill theatre#idk what other tags this needs but as long as emerald finds it we're good
