Bad Bad Things (AJJ Cover) by Andy Holland

Rose Lalonde fansong! Second in a set I'm doing of all the Beta Kids. My first A Capella song - it was absurdly difficult to make, so it's not perfect, but pretty good for a first shot, I think!

Once upon a fairy tale, a heroine was born
with heart as black as space and darkness, from which she was torn
and in this fairy tale, she spoke an ancient tongue
the ink as bleary as the void from which our hero’d sprung
she took her thorns in hand, heard the voices from afar
lost her mind and took command, played the game and here you are.

Little lilac wizard girl, with hair as white as snow
you’ll go on an adventure, testing everything you know
you’ll see the world asleep, and see the light awake
find dissonance upon your planet old, which you will break
forsake thy mother’s name, she’s not with you anymore
grab your books and play the game, prepare yourself for what we’ve got in store.

There’s more to darkness than your mind can see
an endless reach of possibilities
no justice, vengeance, no concept of right
yes, darkness is more than an absence of Light.

Little golden goddess girl, with smile as black as ice
take down the universe, and then give it your best advice
the horror is your friend, the terror loves you best
so go now, and push into motion all objects at rest
see through the veil of white, fall into a gothic trance
woe is your perfected sight, you know best that naught is hand of chance

to dance with black death is your specialty
perchance to dabble in what things might be
beneath your eyelids lies an endless night
yes, close your eyes and find an absence of Light. 

Lay your weary head to rest and drift on many waves
and waken after slumber dwindles down the many days
left on the calendar that’s ticking in your mind
a ticking bomb gripped tightly by the tentacles of time
until the clock runs out, paths converging once more
end of all is coming now, you will fade, becoming naught but lore

There’s more to darkness than your mind can see
an endless reach of possibilities
no justice, vengeance, no concept of right
yes, darkness is more than an absence of Light.

♉Lyrics♉
We do clubs and diamonds, pitch and flush
Ask me if "troll" is how I swing... Absolutely. 
Wherever upd8s are discussed,
They're like "see you round, that fandom's loopy." 

But everyone is like, god tiers, time loops, Hussie's gonna kill you
Bloodcaste, mad clowns, pesterlogs to read through
Gotta share,
All of the feels coming from this scene
But everyone is like, Vriska, Karkat, creepy purple codpiece 
Moirails, quadrants, Striders and their man-grief
It's not fair,
We need diagrams to draw their hair

Lemme tell you 'bout Homestuck (Homestuck)
Technicolor troll blood
Please talk about our ships with us
We have four different types of love
And it couldn't be cooler (Cooler)
Try it up to Act 3
I swear that it's cool
Perfect sci-fi fantasy 

My friends and I are stuck at home
We blame one man for all our pain: Andrew Hussie
And people ask, "Is it a show?"
"An anime?" "Is there a Homestuck movie?" 

But everyone is like, LOLAR, LOWAS, Land of Heat and Clockwork,
Shipwars, fanworks, fighting over JakeDirk
Hey, we swear
We're really not as weird as we may seem
Still everyone is like, land names, patrons, quizzes for your classpects,
Ecto-incest, neverending troll sex 
It's not fair,
There are tentabulges everywhere

Ooh ooh oh
We visit bubbles in our dreams
We're living through these crazy teens
Ooh ooh oh
The story's more than I can bear
But what's up with their freaky hair?

A song for John Egbert - to complete the Beta Kids quartet!
Probably my favorite A Capella song I've done yet. Hope you all enjoy!
•••

It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve been home
I don’t even know what it feels like anymore.
I don’t dream but if I did I know
I’d dream of walking up the steps and opening the door
and seeing too many birthday cakes
and urns filled with ashes
and too many posters with too many memories.
I wouldn’t dream of rainbow blood
and skin with all these slashes
and things that never should have been set free.

It hasn’t been that long yet, relatively
but everything can change in just a passing second
you know how some birthdays can feel like nothing much
but other feel like centuries are lit upon your bones
and I guess that’s a lesson learned
if I’m doing the learning
how there’s not much difference between one second and the next
but that makes the difference
just that little second
between breathing and not breathing anymore.

and I haven’t had a moment to catch my breath
It seems every time I blink I see nothing but death
nothing but death
nothing but death, death, death, death.

I’ve learned a thing or two about nostalgia
like how it creeps upon you like it was always there
and how each little thing can then remind you
like little jokes and rubber bands and bobs of snow white hair
and how each passing moment 
is tinged with sharp regret
but passes so quickly you can’t even see it go
and we are all moments
just these blips in time
passing so quickly I can’t even say hello.

I punch holes in the film of time I’m without reason without rhyme
you’d think it would make me wise but it just makes me dead inside.

I know that it’s been ages since I’ve been home
I don’t even know if I had one anyway
maybe it was destiny or chance
but alchemy took over me and carried me away
to where planets crash and burn
and people become gods
and we get no choice in whether we’re human or not
and it’s no matter who we’ve lost
there’re games that must be played
but I remember what they all forgot.

and I haven’t had a moment to catch my breath
It seems every time I blink I see nothing but death
nothing but death, death, death, death, death, death
So give me just one moment to catch my…


Catch My Breath

Lyrics:

(Heh. This is ridiculous.)

One of me is my enemy
the other me is a pretty cool guy
but I haven't seen him around lately
we don't see eye to eye

There's too much noise and too much spit
but I think I've gotten the hang of it
or at least I thought I did
until you up and kicked the bucket
(Wait! I mean... oh, f*ck it)

(Would you just get out of here? I'm trying to concentrate!)

What do you see in him? What could I say
to convince you not to hop his way?
I've never been too good at the ebb and sway
much prefer the electrical current

The bees are buzzing in my mind
that double crossing and two-timing (get it?)
prospectors pan shifting through sand
searching for a golden nugget

Little brains build little bridges trying to connect, but I'm already on the other side,
you'd know a lot about that, right? I'm twice the man as he is, I'll work for you double-time

Would that be fine?

:D *SNARKY WHISTLE BREAK!* :D

(C'mon seriously?)

Of course it's fine.

(Okay, cut it out. That's it. I'm serious. No whistling.)

Primarily, I'm primary
though some may say I'm incomplete
and should be in a jar
label me "DO NOT EAT"

Hope has struck me in the face
and with his ace of clubs he shoved me
back into the race
cause second place still wins a trophy

I might have overheated, now remind me how I died, was it my motherboard, or just my RAM?
Now I've found a player two in you, I'm glad I fried, I'm using every second that I can
of Double Time, Double Time...

Double trouble bursting bubbles
Where you go I'll follow
Hollow-eyed and now I'm fine
I'm only making up for lost time

Tick and tock and red and blue
The colours and the sounds I never knew
When they were all I saw
Now sightless-eyed and empty-jawed

Double Time...

(...Oh geeze, what is it now? Okay, here. Give it over here. You're just making it worse.

But don't bug me anymore unless it's an emergency, okay?...)

You know when you spend your whole life fighting for the one you love, only to be left behind and figure out who you are?

This song is dedicated to my favorite space knight, Pearl. It took forever to record but it was worth it. Cover art is by the fabulous artist bao-haus on tumblr. Make sure to check out the rest of her art!
---
I used to wonder what my purpose was
what I was meant to do
and then my purpose found a synonym; that synonym was you.
I know I don’t have all the answers yet, but I’m always finding more
and I’ve the answer to just one question:
What am I fighting for?

That which we call a Rose by any other name
would be someone who I’d die for
I know she’d do the same.
And that which I call my heart has forever been claimed
and there will come a time, when I’ll be by your side
and I will finally know my place, I’ll finally know my place

These days I suffer no delusions
I know why I was made
but lately I’ve started to wonder; why must I be what they say?
And so I built a new foundation
and I put you at its core
but now you’re gone and I can’t stop searching
but what am I searching for?

That which we call a Rose by any other name
would be something that I could love
perhaps with time, someday.
And that which I call my home is oft subject to change
but there will come a time, and there will come a day
I’ll finally know my place, I’ll finally know my place

I never wanted to be a mother
I only wanted to be your other half
But in the light of recent changes
I’ve learned that life sometimes rearranges
and maybe what broke your heart could give you a new one
and maybe what broke your heart could give you a new one

That which we call a Rose by any other name
would be made of the one I love
I’ll love them all the same
and that which I call my life
I’ve taken by the reigns
I think that now’s the time, I think today’s the day
I’ve finally found my place, I see it right there in your face

Any Other Name

Broadway!Meenah O)( NO!

Say hello to your new ultimate history jam, folks. Get down to the funky beats with Frederick the Great, king of Prussia.

Special thanks to the amazing Stephanie Guralnick and Declan Ryan for playing violin and piano, respectively.

------------------
When I was young, I tried to run from fate
I ran but I tripped and I fell
and destiny got the best of me
so I took it and I wore it well.
I put down my flute, I picked up my gun
and though i’ve fought more wars than I’ve won
I don’t pick and choose cause if I lose I’ll just come back again
say hello to Silesia!

When I was young I loved a boy
and so my father put a bullet through his head.
I had to watch and so I thought, I would learn to love the state instead.
Love the land as long as you own it, 
love the throne as long as long as it’s your throne, it doesn’t matter.
Love the crown as long as it’s upon your head, 

or until you’re dead, dead. Buried in the ground.
six feet under a glittering crown.
Dead, dead, better dig it down.
Down down down.

So you think you can take me? You think you can break me down?
You think you can make me? You think you can take me out?
You think you can beat me? Well, Maria Theresa thought so too.
I’m the soldier son of the soldier king so hey, you wanna go in the ring? Go!

So what am I to you? A crown? A name? 
I did what I could do, you’d do the same.
I fought and I expanded, I taught the empty-handed
To grow a newer world on land that I won
(one) second of you life is all it takes to win to lose to make a mistake
If you wanna do what you can, you gotta make the plans
You gotta do it all, make the tough calls.
There’s a way the world works. Everything is just so
My empire’s empirical and data is a must, so
I read up and I bring it down and
I rose up and I took the crown and
Who’d’ve thought a poet, a quiet child could go it
In the ring as a king, well that’s the thing!

When I am alive, they’ll bow to me
And when I’m dead they’ll bow to my grave.
They’ll never say I didn’t try
And they’ll never say that I wasn’t brave.
They’ll remember me after I’m late, 
There’s a reason why they call me The Great.
Potatoes or politics, take your pick
I got both on my resume. Hey!


Now, I run my nation with justification of my actions and facts to back me up
cause I’m enlightened. Don’t be frightened if I seem a bit unnerving
let me tell you, I’m deserving of my power ‘cause I wield it like a king
class and status ain’t gonna give you brains,
you gotta have what it takes and make your own damn way to the top
I know that I was born into this crown, 
but I am sailing like a ship where other monarchs have drowned.
So you can dirty my name, make me into a god
to cleanse your Germany of vermin, well I guess you forgot
that I read my Voltaire, and I know that nothing national
can ever beat the fact that man is rational.
So if I gotta go down in history, then history is going down with me!

So you think you can take me? You think you can break me down?
You think you can make me? You think you can take me out?
You think you can beat me? Well, Maria Theresa thought so too.
I’m the soldier son of the soldier king so hey, you wanna go in the ring? Go!

Lyrics:
I've always tried to give help
To those in need, equally
I'll do whatever you need me to
You gave me hope, helped me cope
You came to me, gave me my friends
People who I came to love
And if you think I'd give up on you
It's something I'd never dream of

I can try calling
And I can write codes
I can try sending it out to your bro
Trying to find you and bring you back out
Oh and again in the void I will shout
Answer me, Calliope
You know I'll try
Til I know

Now that I'm here on my planet
I'll try to fight, but I'll hold your light
I won't forget, it's certain that somehow I'll bring you back
That's a fact
Please just tell me you're okay
I won't accept that you'll die
Every day I'll call your name
Until I know that you're alive

Muse of space I will call til you hear me
Through the void I can find you where you sleep
