what an incomprehensible cacophony @nobody-knose--archive - Tumblr Blog

farewell, hesperus. nobody-knose will now be an archive*. i hope we’ve all had fun these years!

*excepting the hyakugojyuuichi 2003 sundays i have queued up for the next very very long time

#i'm not leaving tumblr btw just ask me via dms or askbox or whatever communications measure for my next url #replies will not get you a response because that's public. anonymous questions are similar- i have the right to not answer everything #but you have all your right to ask me & i'm telling you to exercise it #honestly a lot of you will just see me follow you back on the new blog in the next few weeks #that'll be how it is #but the key word there is weeks #tis i #admittedly unspecific dialogue

hi yeah its me again! this time im here to ask about the standalone track called Candle On the Water by Miracle Musical. theres a few things im curious about, like the lyrics (i assume some lines reference either Hawaii Part ii or other tally hall songs) and whether it would be accurate to call it a prologue of sorts to the album (actually, Variations On a Cloud is something i want to ask the same questions about too) and lastly, if there are any notable musical motifs and stuff thanks in advance hope you have a good day!!

you are incredibly lucky i decided to log back onto this account not even a week after you sent this ask in because i do Not do that very often. the "archive" in the url's not there for show. anyway candle on the water from miramusi is a cover of a song from the 70s, originally from pete's dragon i think. lyrically & musically it has nothing to do with hawaii part ii. the cover was only recorded in the first place to commemorate the passing of a certain tally hall/miracle musical fan. that's everything i can give you. maybe check the tally hallmanac (the wiki on hidden in the sand) if you want more info because this is all off the top of my head

#i take it it was only released under the miracle musical name because a. it's not sung by any tally hall members #b. it's only got relevance commemorating someone who was a fan of tally hall c. miramusi was the most relevant tally hall-adjacent #group project at that time #variations on a cloud is one of the hwptii tracks that was a demo among tally hall* long before that album got made so #i'm not so sure what to tell you. obviously it incorporates some of the melody of ruler of everything's verse and #dream sweet in sea major has part of it too i Think. again this is all off the top of my head & i haven't listened to hwptii straight thru #in quite a while #i would think of ruler of everything coming before variations on a cloud & dream sweet in sea major coming after but that's just conjecture #the droning bassline in variations on a cloud kind of syncs up directly with the end of dream sweet so generally people put it as #an ''epilogue'' track if we're thinking in those terms #*i've heard this factoid repeated in a couple places but the only direct backing i have for it is #the fact that in the last episode of t.h.i.s. you can hear a version of it in the clip show section of unused bits near the end #if you look around enough like demo dumps or hell maybe the hallmanac you might find better confirmation
