Awwww, I really liked this. I know I say something along the same lines every time, but you really are a fantastic writer and certainly leave my work in the dust. Your descriptions were very visually appealing and the graphic up top was an interesting touch! (And I also like the song, haha.)

After the invisible references from "Southtown Riot" were called into question, I knew that if I wrote another piece with similar musical subtext, I'd have to make them opaque. This piece was as much a showcase of good songwriter that is virtually unheard of as it is a reverse engineered concept. The visuals were just to have that extra push. Thank you for your overestimation of my abilities; those compliments are hardly needed between us, but thank the stars for every kind word.

The song was included so those with impairments preventing them from seeing the visuals could also share in the experience.

Your descriptions here are rich and gave me pause! Thank you!

No, thank you for reading. If you enjoyed it, mission accomplished on my end.

A thrilling read. I love the song lyrics, too.

That song, along with that entire EP, was burned on my brain as a child by my father would was fortunate enough to have a copy and had the notion to play it wherever cassette tapes would play. The story was interesting to me. I'm glad it made a thrilling read.

You're very good with your details and descriptions here! Wow! Everything was so vivid.

cloworora December 21 2011, 06:01:20 UTC

No, Vivid is a different album by different musicians. Erm...jokes aside, thanks for reading.

This is stunning like reading a comic book, and I mean that as a compliment. Amazing technicolour, 3D descriptions.

I absolutely adore any comparisons to modern comics and my writing; there is a heavy influence of pulp and iron age with my works. I can't decide if I want heavy philosophy or stunning visuals with a lot of my writing, so I toss it all in and shake it up.
