#a duet

Holy shit I found a audio clip of Paul Williams singing a duet with Amy in the story songs and stars show that is still los that has Paul as a fairy godfather type to amy grant! 😁

A Duet

Art was long.  Paul was short.  Art sang the song.  Paul was the sort 

who made one up  as if from air.  Paul had more gift.  Art had more hair— 

which isn’t to take  away from Arts.  Many sing well  if someone starts, 

and it robs no Simon  to get paid like Paul.  Along was Art’s way  to be singing at all. 

If Paul robbed some,  it’s harder revealing.  What stuck in his mind,  he stuck to concealing 

so koo-koo-ka-choo would stick in our heads.  It wasn’t Garfunkel,  someone said Simon said 

when they parted acts.  Debts one forgets.  Acoustic is fraught  with strings over frets, 

taken together,  taken apart.  Paul lifting from life.    Life lifting from Art.

This is the first chapter of McEwan incoming book "Lessons". It's incredible, dive in.

The fanfic is set during the first war with Slytherin!Sirius who never became friends with the other marauders. Its absolutely beautiful. First time I read it, I was so scared for the ending that I downloaded and sent it to my sister to make her check if something bad happens, and she doesn't even read fanfic.

How it changed my life: how the author talks about music, and the music they linked to that they were listening to when they wrote this was a revelation.

On re-reading, now that I've internalized the music, I realized the cadences of the story, the word lengths and rhythm matched the music and made it feel like a written example of the music. Absolutely glorious writing.

In my top 3 fanfics of all time.
