It's definitely looking like time to stay playing again since any health reason to hold off looks like it has stopped leaking. This might have seemed unreasonably cautious but there was a surprising amount of blood from Monday.
The immediate plan, unknown if it happens tonight due to storms, is to get cracking again on "The End of the World in Fort Worth" and finishing the "The Sanctuary Song" for it. I didn't think it was likely this evening and haven't been setting up to do it so probably not tonight but maybe.
The secondary plan is building up "The Silo Song" and that one has turned into a forest fire in the background. The premise is two guys are in a missile silo and the enemy has launched their missiles but we're asking these guys not to do it. Sure that's a noble thing but the story is boring like recipes for squash.
The same concept still works if our boys are with their people in the town and they're called to the silo because of the enemy launch but the people of the town ask them not to go. Stay here with us that others may live.
Coming at it that way makes it a bit less one-dimensional but the peril is now it just turns into a love song ... with nuclear missiles.
The chords don't dictate the content of the song since I can deliver them however I like but they've got more punch than a love song will want. This can't be just love, love me do.
Maybe the title is "What If" with the implied extension 'what if there was a war and nobody came?'
(Ed: what about something clever from mythology?)
I don't think the Greek gods in Olympus had nukes.
(Ed: do you seriously think Zeus needed nukes?)
Nope but he still didn't have two young guys in a missile silo who are told to destroy the rest of the world.
Here's some mythology: how about "Andromeda Weeps" because for this Jason will leave her since he's one of the guys who has to go to the missile silo.
The story resolves to a happy ending because it turns out the enemy really didn't launch and it was a false alarm but "Andromeda Weeps" works as a title because I don't want anyone knowing there is a happy ending even before you get into it.
(Ed: it still sounds kind of precious)
Maybe but "The Silo Song" sounds like a Fed-Ex package or some such.
(Ed: why not be brave and play it out to the ultimate horror. They find out the enemy launch was a false alarm but it's too late and they have already launched. Now they have started the war accidentally and it can't be stopped.)
Playing to that kind of futility makes a point we already know: nuke wars really suck and we all die. That's not the point for this as the song wants to say it makes no sense to prepare for a war we will never fight and cannot possibly win even if we do fight it. Killing anyone behind an accident is highly Vonnegut and it's valid after the absurdity of the entire exchange but it's still not the point I want.
