So a little while back, not very long, someone sent me an ask, and I forget who it was, recommending me this song as a great Kes and Shara song, and I replied to the ask, and talked a little bit about picking music for stories, and said I hadn’t had a chance to properly listen to this song but wanted to respond anyway, and I’d respond again when I got a chance to listen.
So I listened to the song, and loved it, and yeah, it’s so great for them! But I went looking for the post I made about it and, well, xkit didn’t save it to my outbox, which is weird, but–
it’s also not anywhere in my archive. I can’t find it. I swear to Christ people responded to that post, I was watching it to see if the original asker hit “like” or not or if I’d come across as rude, because I always worry about that. (And it’s a quiet song and I’d just been listening to four hours of power metal and it just sounded like nothing after that, which is nothing to do with the song, but it’s hard to convey that to someone who also hasn’t just annihilated their entire sense of aural subtlety?)
And now it’s gone. And I don’t know who that person was. And did it not ever post? Or what the everloving fuck? Who were you, poster? Who asked me about music? Thank you so much for a) being interested and b) willing to talk about my shit with me and c) introducing me to this band because I’d been meaning to listen to them and never had and now I know where half the lyrics on gifsets have come from jesus christ y’all love this band huh?
Anyway.
WHO WERE YOU??? WHAT DID TUMBLR DO???
*void howling*
Hi! I was the original asker! And no worries, I assumed that either Tumblr ate the post or you just chose not to respond to it for any number of perfectly legit reasons. But I’m glad you like the song & yes, people love to put The National lyrics on gifsets.
I also love your writing and The Lost Kings and I’d still be very interested in hearing your thoughts about picking music for stories if you’re up for re-typing them!
I did find the original ask answer after all, but it’s very weird– it only shows up if I go into my archive and filter by post type, it’s not there if I just scroll back through my posts on my dash. I have no idea why that would be, and so I’ve no idea if it shows up on other people’s dashboards or what, but–
here’s the post, which actually didn’t have as much information in it as I’d remembered, but that’s obviously just me ascribing myself deeper motivations than I really had.
It did make me re-visit the exhaustive playlists I’d made for Home Out In The Wind etc., and get sort of sad that I never did figure out a way to share those. I briefly signed up for 8tracks but not only did they not have anything they also seem to have mostly shut down, and I don’t use Spotify, and I don’t know how to use YouTube and not everything’s available on there.
So I don’t know how one makes/shares playlists at all, but I have a lot of feelings about music and love the idea.
