ZAGREUS!!!

[ceebee_eebee]

My flist is so f-ing brilliant. I LOVE YOU GUYS! And because I love you guys, here is a copy of the file that I was able to create thanks to your brilliance. It's the Zagreus nursery rhyme from the Eighth Doctor audios as told by Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, and Lalla Ward. It's only a minute long, but it kicks massive amounts of ass.

Zagreus sits inside your head
Zagreus lives among the dead
Zagreus sees you in your bed
And eats you when you're sleeping

Zagreus at the end of days
Zagreus lies all other ways
Zagreus comes when time's a maze
And all of history's weeping

Zagreus taking time apart.
Zagreus fears the hero heart.
Zagreus seeks the final part.
The reward that he is reaping.

Zagreus sings when all is lost
Zagreus takes all those he's crossed
Zagreus wins and all is cost
The hero's hearts he's keeping.

Zagreus seeks the hero's ship
Zagreus needs the web to rip
Zagreus sups time at a drip
And life aside, he's sweeping.

OMG thank you!!!!!! Ha, I love how much Sylvester's voice stands out.

It really does! I was actually surprised at this, but I found his and Lalla's to be the parts that were the most...creepy.

[airie-fairy.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, Lalla's definitely workin' the creepy. Paul and Colin have really kind of level voices that sort of give an air of unassuming slight eeriness, too. And Peter's just oddly chipper. XD Perhaps it can be interpreted in an unfeeling way. ...dude, I just freaking love him. =D

...dude, I just freaking love him. =D

Which him? All the aforementioned hims? I can understand THAT completely. ;-)

[airie-fairy.livejournal.com]

All of them, really, I guess. XD I was referring chiefly to Peter, though; I'm quite fond of Peter.

Very, very cool! Thanks for sharing!

(I still haven't listened to that audio, and I always hear it in my head as Zag-russ. Silly Brits pronouncing things silly ways). ;)

Aren't they just too cute?

As for the audio, I love it. But I didn't love it until my second listen, so I can definitely understand some people's criticisms of it. It's VERY long and surreal and perhaps even a bit self-indulgent. Despite that, hearing something like...20 different companions get to play other roles in one audio can't be beat.

Coooool. Thank you!

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

Haven't heard Zagreus yet, but I love that nursery rhyme so much. And now I can love it even more! Thanks!

Also—will Zagreus make sense if heard on its own? (Heh, I've been reading the emphasis onto the wrong syllable for literally years!)

EEK. Ummm...you've listened to other 8th Doctor audios, right? So you know who Charley is? Personally, I think you really need to listen to it in conjuction with Neverland. That audio ends on a cliffhanger and Zagreus picks up right from that ending. Together, they work really well.

As long as you know who Charley is (which you do, even if you don't like her much) you should be good to watch Neverland and Zagreus. Elyssadc's right--you really do need to listen to them one after the other to get the maximum effect.

I LOVE YOU SO BAD!!!

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOOOO!!! Then it was worth it. \o/

[azdaja-dafema.livejournal.com]

Ii! *downloads* Thank you!

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I hope you like it. I think I listened to it about 20 times in a row last night.

[azdaja-dafema.livejournal.com]

I like it. Possibly mostly because I love McGann's voice. Ah McGann. :)

[purple_bug.livejournal.com]

Awesome :o) I love spooky rhymes, this one particularly so.

There's someone asking for an audio track of it on bigfinishlove at the moment, by the way. Didn't know if you wanted to volunteer the link or not, even though you didn't f-lock this.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

I have no problem sharing this, but I couldn't find the request. Could you point me to the right post?

[purple_bug.livejournal.com]

It's the most recent on the comm, but never mind - someone uploaded it for her already. Oh well :o)
