Sing O’ Clanker!

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

Nights have been too short for sleeping, and not fully landed yet, but I’ve been clankering, and I learned new tricks.

First, the 10th song fo the sound track (I appropriated Strains of Earth for 9th, though) is up:

Of course the scene in the book doesn’t involve exciting gun play. Only someone does shoot at Skip.

BUT I was trying to capture his sense of betrayal when he found out the Draksalls had slavery.

And I made an exciting and bizarre discovery: apparently it’s my vocabulary, not my accent preventing AI from transcribing me. It has the same problem with AI generated singing.

So…. in mercy to those of you who get lost in my unique forest-of-words-approach to lyrics, I’m adding subtitles to the songs …. slowly, painfully, and line by line like Juan Valdez.
So far two have subtitles: Betrayal and Can I Get you To look. Eventually there will be a “Sound track with lyrics” playlist.

And that’s all for your clanking enjoyment today. I’m hoping to actually sleep enough to work on WD tomorrow. So more songs in a couple of days?

  1. I’m looking forward to purchasing Witch’s Daughter (that may be the WD Sarah mentioned). 😉

  4. I have three videos now, all recently shared on the X, but not searchable…

    Thank you Sarah for your advice!!

  5. I’m going with a different playlist (same songs, different order), trying to have the list mirror the plot. Engineers are stubborn, slightly laced with OCD, for values of slightly.

    (Forgot the mail of heat. Will send contact info there.)

      1. I could be wrong (it is a day ending in ‘y’). I had “boats” and “can I get you to look” after “Betrayal”. I feel like one of those fools telling Isaac Asimov what he did wrong in any given novel. (Though, there’s more room to criticize Asimov…)

        Will revert to the official list.
