A challenge was laid down by Josie the Redheaded Libertarian (unwittingly) Which I took up and I think, handled pretty well. Therefore the result is dedicated to her. The original post on Twitter/X was like "Millenialisms we need to retire from usage" and I was like "oh hell there we go, a template, the song is 85% written I just need to thread a needle through that" main website: https://exedexes1.godaddysites.com itch.io page: https://exedexes1.itch.io/more

So who is this lady: Arandulia is a (non-Tolkien canon) Maia (same order as Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, Radagast) on a text MUD started in the 90's called SlothMUD. And she's internally mulling over some (as yet unspecified) mistake she made that got a whole bunch of people killed. This was the last track on the Esra (Akkadian cuneiform writing for 'twenty' hence it followed NovemDeka which meant 19). she guards one of the four corner towers of Old Thalos along with Rixlor (Orc, has a track on Slaps, see "climbing the martial ladder") Ozomalk (Lizardman, has a track, not-on-Slaps but is on the other services) Barozek (Dwarf, I didn't write his music yet) main website: https://exedexes1.godaddysites.com itch.io page: https://exedexes1.itch.io/ more

I liked the technical challenge of this song. A lot of moving vocal segments around and the first time that I sang harmonies against myself. Looking at it a day later: it's like theres an extra measure in the verses where Bill shortened once he got to the 2nd-and-later, and I didn't because I cut and pasted, so it explains why I have to idle extra time each verse to deal with that. But it does inadvertently fill the requirement that "cover songs should have their own weird signature that doesn't match the original too closely" my main website: exedexes1.godaddy.com itch.io page: exedexes1.itch.iomore
