IM CRYING MOTHERFUCKER

[GameCraftPlayer]

.... What? No, it has 2 separate back stories, neither of which are Doctor Who related, although I agree it does kind of fit. The two back stories are;

-Claudio's wife, Chondra's close friend had died, so Claudio wrote a song for him

-The story of Sirius Amory leaving to enter the keywork, and the feelings between him and his wife at the time

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost sure that's what this song is about)

[seedlesssoul]

This seems to be fairly dead on. This would connect with the Key Entity Extraction V when saying:

Connection to principal craft has been lost. Attempting to reconnect in 3...2...1...

 Connection failed. Recalculating navigation via secondary mobile apparatus... Estimated speed at falling rate of 263 knots... Rate of survival: 33 percent.

[Sirius:]

How long have we been away?

[All-mother:]

Approximate calculation: 547 days. Sirius, do you still want to go home?

[Sebastian Tverderp]

The song's about Sirius' wife Meri, she hears about his ship exploding in the Keywork and believes that he is dead. and the song is about her just being lost mentally and physically because of Sirius' "death".

[Wyrdwulf19]

I wish we could easily post meme pictures, or I'd dickishly post the "WRONG" one. What happens is she goes to a bar to try and find someone to move on. A rapist tries to seduce her, and eventually drugs her drink while she's not looking. At the end of the song, when she gets ready to take the drink, a policeman stops her, and arrests the predator. She ends up falling for the policeman while Sirius is getting his shit fucked up in the Keywork. I was surprised how tough finding this info was. :l

[Burritopimp3]

Coheed's concept for both of ascension and descention freaking blew my mind. So good...

[GingerbreadPK]

yess!



[GingerbreadPK]

that is exactly what the song is about



[Winston burns]

I was there with ya! :D

[Aaron Morris]

No, this song is not about Dr. Who.

[Aaron Morris]

Saw it live last night...so good.

[malibu64]

Your selfishness has robbed you of the man you could have been ... I wouldn't change a thing about you... I love you dearly, my friend
