(( For @mercermachines‘s August Mercer! Since this was a form request, it gets to be posted before the others~ now I wasn’t too sure what you were looking for in a “boozy” feel for a song - the first things that come to mind are gaelic jigs, and that’s honestly not the feel I get from Mercer as a character. I think you hit a good spot with The Decemberists, and bands like The Helio Sequence and Rogue Wave first came to mind.
I will say another song struck with me, but it was a little too generalized to use for a music request - though I’ll link it anyways. It’s Lily Wood and the Prick’s Prayer in C - I usually prefer the Robin Schulz mix cause it’s a bit faster paced - but it also didn’t feel what I was looking for.
REGARDLESS - I had such a great time reading the stories and posts you had (and that very detailed LFRP post!), it gave me a bit more insight as to what I was looking for. I settled on this song because, while originally meant as the singer to a lover, the lyrics felt like something Mercer might say to his faith in Halone. It starts soft, slowly boiling up to something louder by the end. I hope you enjoy the song(s)! Thank you so much for filling out a form for me! ))
