Life in Song
Posted by Puffin on 04/02/19
Life, or so the song goes, is a near death experience. It's a popular song, and it's taking the taverns by storm. The song reminds people to live, and to enjoy the journey while they're doing it. It's hugely welcomed in the Lowers, and among the youth of the city, who can be heard carousing in rambling groups of singers, usually just before doing something ridiculous (or ridiculously brilliant, depending on how drunk one is) and daring.
It's a reminder to live every day, to embrace all that life has to offer, and to not worry too much about death - as the Queen waits for everyone at the end. It's a catch melody, and Evaristo, Raymesin, and Helena are lauded for their efforts.
By everyone except the Iron Guard on patrol through the Wards, who seem to be on edge as soon as they hear the chorus, because these days it mostly means someone is about to do something incredibly stupid.
Sometimes you can't win for trying
but you can smile through your crying.
The trick is to see you've got what it takes
to learn from your mistakes,
Embrace the journey and get off the fence -
life is a near-death experience
