I think what fascinates me so about filk music is the wonder and emotion that goes into it. Dawson's Christian is a ghost ship story told in space, but the song takes it so seriously. There is such an attempt made by the artists to embody the character, and it just captivates me.
Another is the emotions behind the songs. I mean Pushing the Speed of Light is a lament about the horrors of how near FTL robs you of your friends and family, and kills any attempt to forge bonds, but is also a song about trying anyway, and hoping for the future despite the loss.
