  1. If they want to keep exploring Muse, there’s a ton of good tunes out there. New Born, Mercy, Resistance, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Neutron Star Collision, Knights of Cydonia, Ruled by Secrecy. As to concepts, I am about to start arranging this myself, but As Dreams Are Made On. It may sound familiar because BD did it in 2016, but theirs was an exploration of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Mine is just exploring different angles of this excerpt: Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. So first, the rep: Are You Actively Eating That Candy Bar, I Am Batman, I’ve Got You, Call Me - Benjamin Wallfisch Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy Photograph - Cody Fry Away With Your Fairies(Humanity Version), Red - Thomas Bergersen The first movement would introduce to us the vastness of humanity and our development(thus the use of the energetic Wallfisch tunes). However, there’s some underlying melancholy because the story that the tunes are taken from(The Flash movie) doesn’t exactly end well for certain bat and s themed characters. we would then explore the realization that, to paraphrase the text, we are nothing but momentary specks in a massive universe(multiverse if you want to keep going into the parallels of The Flash), and ultimately we are as inconsequential as dreams and dust. Photograph and it’s lyrics really embody this despair as the singer is afraid to forget moments that have passed. To close, we would look on a happier meaning of the text, which is that despite us being temporary and disappearing into thin air, we still achieve greatness and can still affect the world around us in our short time here. Bergersen’s tunes bring an infectious energy and joy that fits this reading. Dreams are after all what keeps the world turning, so maybe it’s a good thing to be what dreams are made on. Oh, this got really long. Sorry about that. Fresh ideas do that to me. Hope it turns out okay for me!
  2. Everything Melillo writes is technically Stormworks because that’s what he calls his catalogue. But yes the actual suite is kind of cool from what I remember of it and it’s not like JD Shaw is against programming Melillo. He totally hasn’t done it like four times in the past 7 years. I’d like to see In a Cause Called Glorious or Under Cover of Darkness and… done by him mostly because I’ve already arranged these myself and I want to see how similar I can get it.
  3. Um That’s actually really good. I might have to steal that.
  4. iTunes has top 12 if not more from 2014 on and nothing is edited out. It’s just the audio though.
  5. I wonder if the mello lick will happen in that obscenely long hold in the crown set?
  6. I’m not a guard guy but whatever that guy just did in the middle of that was stupid(as in good)
  7. Tuning is certainly better than last night to my sort of trained ear
  8. Ooh I recognize some of that closer drill my high school did something like that in 2021 dope
  9. Yep. Coming from a guy who hasn’t liked a BD show since ghostlight(honestly one of my top shows ever but that’s because it was the first one I saw) that was undeniable. I don’t even like the back half(after the ballad which is the best one this year). They are going to win and they’re going to win big. I can’t even be mad at them for doing it it’s so good.
