FMF 25: 7 July 2017

Hey guys, and welcome back to another Fandom Music Friday! My writing projects are moving along well enough, though I may have underestimated the word count on my highest priority fanfic, thus causing a small delay. Not to worry; I am in fact making progress. In the meantime, let's talk about this week's featured music.

Give any fandom enough time, and people will start leaving. That is what appears to be the case with today's piece of music. Fortunately, there's more than one way to access music, and if you know your way around YouTube and you know where to look, it's not always impossible to find some of these things. "Chrissi's Lullaby" was originally written by one Jeff Burgess, but a YouTube search of his name takes me to one Moon Rock Records. "Ok," I thought to myself, "well sometimes when a channel changes name, YouTube will keep the former name in the URL." The URL sports not the name Jeff Burgess, but "VulpicideFilms." Curious. The singer, the one and only EileMonty, still retains her YouTube channel, of course.

This was the only publically available version I was able to find. Granted the original is available in the video's description, but it's an unlisted video. I'm not sure why the video is unlisted, but I will respect the privacy of the original artist in regards to their channel. Big thanks to MrStronger91 for reuploading the video publicly. It would be a shame to lose this song permanently. It's a pretty little Chrysalis song, displaying her tender, kindhearted, and even motherly side towards her hive--her children. And for those of you who have figured out YouTube's right-click features, this song loops beautifully. True to its name, it is of course a lullaby. Extended use of this song on low volume levels may lead to increased drowsiness. Please listen responsibly.
