Say it once, say it twice, say it so you won’t forget
Live a life, live it hard, live each day without regret
“Molly’s Wake Song,” written and performed by Drake Meed (@makingcosplay on Twitter) at the Hour of Honor Critical Role meetup at GenCon 2019. A touching tribute to a fallen friend, and Drake left an equally poignant comment on the video:
“Thank you all, so incredibly much, for listening and allowing me to share this. And, more importantly, sing this. Share it. Pass it forward with anyone who will listen, if you feel so compelled. It was written as a bardic and in the spirit of being carried on.”
In the spirit of that, full lyrics are under the cut, as are the chords Alvaro Alemparte figured out and put in the YouTube comments. The transcription is mine, so take it with some salt.
T’was a cursed trip, they heard him say before they started off
And as the moon began to wane, his colors he did doff
He was once a friend, he can’t be mend, like multicolored cloth
His life he gave for friends he’d made, and regained what he’d lost
CHORUS:
Say it once, say it twice, say it so you won’t forget
Live a life, live it hard, live each day without regret
Be the chaos that you want to see, be everything you want to be
And never dare you ere forget, of Mollymauk the Cock
Though only two and half a year lived in his memories
He’d filled that time with friends and beer and seen all he could see
One good thing he’ll surely please, his past he’ll never meet
Remember well the bravery of who he chose to be
CHORUS
The mark he made was brighter still than ever he would know
And those he left who loved him well are better having him known
Be true to self, and bear no ill, no matter where you go
Give everything you have until the ending of the show
LAST CHORUS:
Say it once, say it twice, say it so you won’t forget
Live a life, live it hard, live each day without regret
Be the chaos that you want to see, be everything you want to be
And never dare you ere forget
And never dare you ere forget
Of Mollymauk the Cock
The Death Note itself is almost finished! This is a card stock book that I picked up from the dollar store. Red was kind enough to cut the pages for me, so I can use it as a wallet/phone case. I used a faux calf skin for the cover, and elastic to hold my phone in place. Just have to title the book, and paint the cover with some black ink. I love incorporating a carrying case into my costumes! #concrunch #yycexpo #deathnote #deathnotecosplay #shinigami #shinigamiryuk #spoopy #cosplay #cosplaygirl #womenofcosplay #imakethings #somuchtodo #sleepisfortheweak #gettingthingsdone #velcroismybestfriend #hotgluesaveslives #cceecosplay #makingcosplay #death.note.cosplay
Moving along with my creation. Interesting things happen when you have to change filament mod print. . . #3dprinting #filamentchange #cr10spro #makingcosplay #brassrootsleather (at Saint Cloud, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKdJghZjJCt/?igshid=gyvl0brmb4jz
So here is the first piece to this cosplay that I desided to work on. The only thing not done is sealing the paint with some fabric glue. Which if it turns put to shiny then ill have to attack with some baby powder lol Can you guess what I'm working on? #cosplay #workinprogess #wip #makingcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZKCHsHBTR/?igshid=p93eje4m0u83

The past couple of days have been very rough, but I have managed to make some progress. Besides silk painting, I purchased tail parts and have been hammering out moons in between bouts of overwhelming emotion.
Motivation is going to be hard to come by for the next week or so. Wish me luck.
