I dont know if you know the song "Too Little Too Late" by Laufey, that songs always brings me to tears and it reminds me so much of TDWM, itttttssssss unbearable in a heartbreaking way
(Love the fic💗💗💗💗)
WHAAAT IVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THIS AAAAAAAGGGHHH (/pos) Its PERFECT!! QAQ
"The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love" (Abt sonic marrying amy wtfff)
"Last night, you called to me It almost killed me"
"To hear you scream my name Your smile still kills the same"
SHADOW NOOOOO Not about them in the baaaar D'x
"I almost turned around You chased me to the ground You asked me how I've been, but how do I begin"
ASDFDHSKA CUZ SONIC WENT LOOKING FOR HIM
"To tell you I should've chased you 'cross every single state" The way this also echo's sonic when he gave up looking
"I lay down my sword for fate" The Lansoni fibes tho
"I didn't need the reminder of things I've done wrong. Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song" The way this even more reflects Sonics current state (given the resentment he felt last chapter because of Shadow's disappearance). And how he failed Amy and he's hiding how much he's really struggling.
"Guess that we're soulmates in different lifetimes What if you leave him (her), throw me a lifeline
"I know that you're happy But it just killed me
To hear you scream my name A clear fucking X-ray of if I'd stuck around I swear to God, I almost drowned."
SHADOOOOOOOOWWW
"You asked me how I've been, but how could I begin To tell you I should've chased you I should be who you're engaged to"
WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE LYRICS BRO
"Lost my fight with fate A tug-of-war of leave and stay I give in, I abdicate I lay my sword down anyway
I'll toast outside your wedding day Whisper vows, I'll never say to you"
I....
well
thanks for assassinating me, that was beautiful. You're so right it fits perfectly ;w; Shadow's raw heartbreak about Sonic choosing someone else and knowing it's too late for him to confess. His regret but also him having given up with it, laying his sword down. And there's lots of lyrics that line up more with Sonic's perspective too like wishing he'd searched longer etc, and feeling like he made loads of mistakes but wanting to hide how broken he is, and how seeing Shadow reminded him of how he made those mistakes (mentioned in the latest chapter.)
Not to mention the music is just beautiful, thank you for sharing!! (This has prompted me to put together a playlist 👀)
If you want to know MY song pick for TDWM, I referenced it in Chapter 3 and it's this x3
It's less devastating but still gentle and heartbreaking and I'd say it equally reflects them both- specifically with Sonic being the 1st verse and Shadow being the 2nd verse + the small bridge about 'being too old for this'.
The chorus reflects both of them- but 'keep me a secret' being Shadow hiding his feelings about Sonic, and 'choose someone else' being Sonic marrying amy (almost like they're talking to each other).
And then in the end Shadow concluding that 'im not better than this' and Sonic wanting him to 'show me (Sonic) what im worth' because he needs Shadow's help to get back to himself.
I hope you like this song too ;w; <3
THESE BOYS MAKE ME FERAL
