      They need to do something similar to what The Protomen did with Act II. If you haven’t listened to that album, it’s basically an epic musical without the visuals! It would be amazing to get something like that from TWRP, NSP, Protomen, basically everyone TWRP features all together. It would be LEGENDARY.

      So like, Danny is a retired royal guardsman. And he left court life coz the princess soon-to-be queen had a thing for him. Years later, the Queen sends him a message that an old rival of his has found him and plans to kill him. He knows his past has caught up to him. Instead of waiting, he goes to face his rival. In an epic game of spacechicken defeats his foe. Now he realizes he is still strong and capable.

    Head cannon: The Starlight Brigade slowly grows apart over time, no new threats to the galaxy emerging that need taken care of. The main character builds a reputation and eventually works for the Crown as a bounty hunter, but memories of the hero he once was and the man he has become weigh heavily on his mind. He vows he would never use his skills again and goes into hiding, but the Crown finds him and task him with one more mission to earn his freedom...

      Definitely much more serious. I'm happy for that! As much as I love NSP, I really wanna hear Dan try and _write_ something serious. The closest thing to that is Danny Don't You Know, and that made me cry upon listening. I'm just saying, it would be so dope to get a song that doesn't bother to tell a fictional story but rather a lived one. Maybe about how he defeated depression and OCD, how he went through so much of life directionless and high, and all of a sudden shit worked out for him, or how the online machine makes him feel, good or bad. It would be so, so interesting.

    Under the dawn arisen
    Of ultraviolet suns
    Deep in the cave beneath the Avalon
    Emergency transmission
    Lighting up an empty screen
    Beamed from the planet of the galaxy queen
    “This is a black sky bounty
    There’s an assassin on the run
    I want him dragged down and brought to me
    You’re the only one”
    I dusted off the mantle
    The weapons of my trade
    Faint with the echoes of my past accolades
    Ooh, I challenge you
    Let’s see what you can do
    If your legend is true…
    Scared of a black sky bounty
    I’m blasting off into thе dawn
    And like a black swan
    My halcyon days are over
    Now I’m just flying along
    Thе radar locked
    On targets long gone
    You are mine
    For war, it’s time
    All hope gone
    For you Black Swan
    My heart is racing
    Full speed right through the field of stars
    I can’t resist the deadly charge
    The light I’m chasing
    The fire that makes us what we are
    I close the distance from afar
    Past your prime
    With pride you’re blind
    I feel your fear
    Now feel my wrath
    First shots are fired
    My past and future lives collide
    The target turns to meet my eyes
    One joust required
    I find the strength beyond the lies
    And ride as my enemy dies
    Don’t stop! Halcyon’s not over
    I’m just flying along
    Grateful to be so wrong
    Don’t stop! - I’m inside this
    Overwhelming high tide singing along
    My black swan song
    Don’t stop! - Halcyon’s not over
    I’m just flying along
    A queen’s love, so strong
    Don’t stop! I’m inside this
    Overwhelming joy that I’m living on
    I don’t have long

    Ahhh, this is why. Yes, this makes sense. It feels right. My entire subconscious has picked up on the vibes from this song & has thrown me into full on consciousness to jam to this.
    Nice.

      here's the key difference between the two generations:
      back when our parents were kids, radio stations often went through trial and error. They'd play new music. If the listeners liked it, they'd play more music by that band. If they didn't, they'd move on and try something different.
      Nowadays, more research has been done into the science of music. And, long story short, the music industry has found it to be more profitable to throw all their money at a handful of musicians and bands, having them constantly play on tv and the radio until people just accept it and become comfortable with it, than to risk wasting money on a band people may not like.
      .
      There are still amazing artists out there. Just like our parents had. The only difference is that the music industry isn't taking "risks" and are instead placing all their cards onto "safe" artists/bands that are more comfortable.
      That's also why the sound of pop music has scarcely changed over the years. They found something easy and profitable instead of molding to the people's interests.
      .
      So the key difference between our parents' generation and our own is that we have to do more hunting to find these amazing artists.

      Try out a band I really like right now called the Main Squeeze. Random plug but they don't get nearly enough love and everything they do sounds like a classic to me.

    • @ChrisMMaster0
      @ChrisMMaster0 3 года назад +1

      A lot of the reason for that is because they try to base the composition and really work hard on the lyrics so it sounds as angelic and from the 80s - 90s. The way this song was made is pretty much inspired by QUEEN's Bohemian Rhapsody.

    • @LilChuunosuke
      @LilChuunosuke 3 года назад

      @So tired of this. oh i don't deny that they had tons of shitty music too. my statement was really just talking about the changes made to how certain radio stations choose their music & how that doesn't necessarily correlate with the type of music their listeners typically enjoy listening to.

    If anybody was wondering (because I certainly was), from what I looked up, a black swan is symbolic of either spiritual freedom or a person going from a victim to the victor, and a swan song is someone’s final performance before their retirement/death. I LOVE the symbolism in this

  • @TheRowa86
    @TheRowa86 2 года назад +2

    So what I get from the lyrics is that this song's about a retired bounty hunter who's been given a high priority target to bring him out of retirement by a literal Queen of a galaxy. The assassin target finds him first, sends him a message to taunt him, and then they both wind up in a kind of 'joust' in their space fighters. The Black Swan wins, but his ship is so crippled it's not really recoverable. The Galaxy Queen sends a transmission to thank him for getting rid of the assassin but his halcyon days are actually over because there's no hope of survival. He doesn't have long.
