first song ♫ video

[hasitsthorns]

[ The video clicks on as someone is positioning it. The aforementioned individual walks quite a few paces back, whole upper body coming into view. Some may recognize her, some may not. But that's the point of this. ]

Hello, fellow cave dwellers! Have you ever heard the acoustics in this place? If not, allow me to demonstrate. They're beautiful, simply beautiful.

[ Without further ado, the woman begins to belt out a lovely tune. ]

You're alone, you're on your own, so what? Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours? Glass half empty, glass half full Well, either way you won't be going thirsty. Count your blessings not your flaws. You've got it all, you lost your mind in the sound. There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown; you're in control, rid of the monsters inside your head. Put all your faults to bed. You can be king again! You don't get what all this is about. You're too wrapped up in your self doubt. You've got that young blood, set it free.

[ It's not actually really able to be determined if her voice sounds better or not due to their underground dwelling. It's still a beautiful mezzo-soprano regardless. She continues a second round of the chorus and into a new verse. ]

You can be king again. There's method in my madness. There's no logic in your sadness. You don't gain a single thing from misery...

[ Wait for it. Her voice suddenly increases in volume and length as she sings at the top of her lungs to the sky: ]

Take it from me!!

[ She clears her throat then, turning back to the camera with a huge grin. ]

I've already met some of you, but I figured I should do a formal introduction! My name's Rose. Music is kind of my deal, if you couldn't tell. I have a guitar but, uh - [ An awkward waggle of her no-handed arm. ] - obviously can't play it anymore, so! Singing's about all I can do for now.

But tell me, everyone, what's your favorite song? What music do you like? That says a lot about someone, believe it or not. So talk to me, I'd like to get to know ya'll.

[ (insert eyebrow waggle and doofy grin at the camera here) ]

[She has disabled comments on this post because she knows better by now. Also, she has removed the mailbox thing she put up by the shop for people to drop off their Esteemed Emily letters. Maybe she and her housemates can use it to grow plants in instead.]
