I was so hyped yesterday when I didn't see a blog post from you because I knew that meant something epic was coming!

3579524 What song?

[NorrisThePony]

3579954 The title of the blog is a line from "Rococo" by Arcade Fire. The next line after "The wind is blowing all the ashes around" is "Oh my Dear God what is that horrible song" (or maybe it's sound. Was never quite sure.)

I'm now worried people who don't get it think I'm referring to "Two Suns in the Sunset," which is in the story's authors note, when in reality I'm a die-hard Floyd fan.

3579992 To be honest, I expected it to be worse. I am listening to it right now and it isn't that bad. I wouldn't listen to it, but compared to most pop songs today and metal it is good.

3580099 Oh, it's actually a great song, haha. Love Arcade Fire. Pretty sure that line is just the band making a bit of self-aware humour of how odd and niche their style of music is.

The whole song, lyrically, is a hipster-jab, but the irony being most fans of the band are automatically classified as "hipster" due to the band's reputation.

3580109 I never pay attention to lyrics when determining if a song is good or bad. I listen to the structure and form of every single song I listen to, not the words. Must be because I make music myself and know what is truly important in a song.

It's a good thing you got The Trixiening up finally.

Else you'd have to sit on this fic, put it up on another account or not bother with making The Trixiening your 100th
