ANNOUNCEMENTS! Of the musical, video game, and streaming variety!

NEXT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 7PM EDT: I'll be returning to my Silent Hill 2 remake streams on twitch.tv/idoherty451! Fair warning: The next sequence of the game is the Labyrinth and features incredibly sensitive subject matter, right from the beginning of the sequence. Please review the game's content warnings before deciding whether to watch.

BEFORE THAT, ON MONDAY, AUGUST 4: I've finally had the time to do what I've always wanted to do with these recordings: split the music segments out into their own videos so people can watch them without having to watch the whole playthrough. On Monday, I'll be posting the first of a series I've come to call...

My plan is to release one of these every Monday for the foreseeable future. If you've wanted to see what all the hubbub has been about the music without having to dig through hours of commentary, now you'll have the chance! Follow me on YouTube to get notifications whenever they're posted.

FINALLY, ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 6:30PM-8:30PM EDT: My rock band Mosaic Mind will be doing our second full band livestream!

We're currently raising funds through Ko-fi to help complete our debut album! Follow us on twitch.tv/mosaicmindband and tune in on August 7 to hear some catchy and creative covers and originals.

Lots of stuff coming up in August, so keep your eye on this Tumblr and the Events page on my website to catch it all!

And thanks for your support :)

IN THESE TRYING TIMES

I offer a song.

Inspired by current events and Season 5 of The Magnus Archives.

Lyrics: 

The very air we breathe is toxic It’s crazy in the world out there And every day feels like the last But I will not despair

And though we cannot shake this feeling That everything has turned to rot There’s still a truth beneath the surface That maybe you forgot And you and I should not

Whether the world is ending Or it’s just a phase The fact that we’re here means something Though we may not see the ways I look to the time When this nightmare has moved on And maybe I won’t have to sing this song

You ask me if my love will waver? Darling, don’t you know by now? I’m stickin’ round here, by your side As long as you allow

And as we walk this barren wasteland The guilt you feel is not your own To carry all by your sweet self No, you are not alone I can be your home

Whether the world is ending Or it’s just a phase The fact that we’re here has value Even if everything goes away I look to the time When we’ve righted all that’s wrong But if you need it, I will sing this song (Instrumental)

Whether the world is ending Or it’s just a phase The fact that we’re here means something No matter what they say I look to the time When this nightmare has moved on And you and I can sing a new song

So if you’re feeling down, don’t worry You know that I’ll be here for you And when it’s my turn, I know that you’ll Be there for me, too

--

“I think our experience of the universe has value. Even if it disappears forever.”
