HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES he/him Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Before I explain the premise, yes, i know about the cosmere the musical thread and or other threads in similar strands. I believe that I am adding something new to the conversation with this topic. So picture yourself as being involved in the creation of a musical A Hero For All Ages Part I They advertived it in the broadsheets but I figured It would be more fun to start with book one. So out goal is to make some songs and think up props, for a Musical/oppereta based on The Final Empire, that is being preformed in mistborn era 2. This means we cant make the survivor look too bad (would get the survivorists mad at us)or use props they wouldnt have with that tech level. If you dont want to make up a whole song. Then just give the name and musical style The curtain opens. The stage is lit up. The light shines on all the skaa plantation slaves working in the field(kinda reminiscent of Look Down from Le Mis) the tune im using is 15 Tons. The Lord Ruler says he made us outta mud I just know im made outta muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong Refrain I was born one night when the mist swirled around In a hover that was made of mud from the ground Pretty soon I was working from dawn to dusk The noblemans whip left me less than a husk Refrain I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' ash Mama wasnt spared from the noblemans lash I was raised in the neath the red sky by an ol' nanny skaa Until they noble man decided her bein pregnant broke the lae Refrain [one skaa, Kelsier lifts his head up and smiles, then sings alone} If you see me comin', better step aside A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died One flask of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't get you Then the left one will [The nobleman send a guard after kelsier who has already melded back into the crown Refrain This is the refrain You a barrel of cotton, tons, what do you get? Another day older and we cant pay of no debts Survivor, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the Lord Ruler the curtains close and open again on the next scene where we first meet Vin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Kaladin? Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 I love this idea I think the next act would start with a version of "Its A Hard Knock Life" from Annie with Vin being the lead singer but it would need to be darker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES he/him Posted July 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 The curtain again opens to reveal vin who dances around camons lair and sings It's the hard-knock life for us It's the hard-knock life for us 'Stead of treated the noblemen we tricked 'Stead of kisses We get kicked It's the hard-knock life Don't if feel like the ash is always blowin? If the inquistors find us then the blood will be a flowin Once a day, don't you wanna go a drinkin It's easier than puttin' up a fight No one's there when the mistwraiths out are creepy No one cares if your beatn till you cant think Empty belly life Rotten smelly life Full of sorrow life No tomorrow life The Survivor we never see The Survivor, what's that? Who's he? No one cares for you a bit When you're a theiving skaa It's the hard-knock life over Reen I cannot pine But don't touch my liquor cabinet It's the hard-knock life for us (Beat up poor old little vin) It's the hard-knock life for us (jab her ear with plated pin) 'Stead of treated We get tricked (send her to thepits of hathsin) 'Stead of kisses We get kicked It's the hard-knock life for us(Beat up poor old little vin) It's the hard-knock life for us (jab her ear with plated pin) No one cares for you a bit (send her to the pits f hathsin) When you're a theiving skaa It's the hard-knock life It's the hard-knock life A door slams open revealing kelsier who has takes vin from the lair.

HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES he/him Posted July 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Anybody have any ideas for a vin/crew meeting song, remember the songs dont have to be parodies, or even writter, we just need a style and a music genre. Heck you could make up a completely different song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Kaladin? Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I imagine it as a more cheery song with Vin looking around in wonder maybe as a rendition of "My Shot" from Hamilton with Kelsier as the lead singer with Vin joining in for the last "my shot" Edited July 26, 2022 by LightweaverWannabe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
