❌Monthly Song Challenge: Archived🎵

Yes! I had a list of them ("Flight of Icarus," "Sun and Steel," "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," etc) so I didn't want to guess.

"Moonchild" is awesome!

Edit to add, in a stern, but kindly voice : "This is why you add the title and band above the video."
Ok, I started typing this up earlier in response to your post for the day but I decided to let it slide because you hadn’t actually broken the rule (because the extra songs you listed didn’t fit the prompt, I don’t think).

But THIS does.
You have now listed 3 more songs that fit the prompt of the day.

You all are a rowdy bunch today.

Hands and knees. Get in the line. Don’t do it again.

A spanking!

Er, I mean, yes, Princess, I am very sad I disappointed you and I won't do it again...

Day 8: A song that mentions the sun or moon

No background.
No story.
Only Maiden.
Excellent! 🤘

(eta: stupid borders and their stupid limits... maybe this one works.)

Iron Maiden - Moonchild

I laugh because I couldn’t decide between my choice of Bark at the Moon or Maiden’s Moonchild. Great minds.

Nightwish - Passion And The Opera

I was lucky enough to see Nightwish when Tarja was their vocalist and seeing her do this song, in a small venue in Montreal, was nothing short of phenomenal.

[edit] I’m just realizing this is not an official video, it’s the song put over different clips. Leaving it as is, it still sounds great :)

Day 6: A song you don't understand

There is a fantasy book where the main character is being interrogated by a mind reader. He fights against them by repeating They Might Be Giant songs over and over, and the lack of any sense drives the telepath mad. I understand the telepath's point of view.

This is supposed to be from the viewpoint of a night light. Or something. They have songs that make even less sense. But it is one of the most charming songs I know, and I love it. Or maybe I don't, actually. I do.

"Birdhouse in Your Soul," They Might Be Giants

I love this song!!! I love They Might Be Giants! Great choice!!

Caution: This is going to be super bleak! (But I find it to be quite beautiful.)
This song is the conclusion to one of my favourite albums by these guys.
A brilliant album... and terribly underrated.

Pink Floyd - Two Suns in the Sunset
