Reba my beloved! This song is vvv pretty but her true potential is fulfilled later (if you know what song it is, shhh). I hope I did that one screenshot justice in the artwork. You can tell I gave up on clothing wrinkles when I got to the arms lol. But I had fun with this song and also the art! I hope you guys enjoy :)
Also! I will be streaming again this Saturday at 8pm EST. I'm gonna try to do it every week. Probably still working on the traditional piece from last week. We'll also still be listening to both Hannibal AND my secret new musical. I'll be dropping some lore when those songs come on, so if you're unable to/don't want to sub to the Patreon (Seahorse Trash), this is a fun way to get a peek inside. I will be posting the demos on there in order every Friday tho. Listen to it without me singing and fangirling over my own music lmao
--lyrics--
ENSEMBLE: Still untouched by the horror of the dragon
The woman clothed in sun stays in
Attention deft to match her blindness
With nimble fingers film she’ll process
How radiant she is, the room does glow
Of her grim future she doesn’t know
Moon underfoot, twelve stars in her crown
The dragon approaches and her destiny is found
(a distant knock on the door)
Melody in the cadence of her name
Thy light shines in Reba McClane
REBA MCCLANE: Come on in!
(enter FRANCIS)
REBA MCCLANE: Is that you, D?
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: The very one.
REBA MCCLANE: If you put your back against the door
And take three steps across the floor
You’ll find a stool to take a seat
Stay awhile, I could use the company
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: I need some infrared movie film.
REBA MCCLANE: You’d be better off shooting digital.
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: Oh, I’m not a fan of that format. I want to photograph the nocturnal animals at the zoo.
REBA MCCLANE: Do they have any tigers?
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: Families of every animal there, probably.
REBA MCCLANE: I went blind when I was two
The last thing I could see
Was a tiger at the zoo
She lives forever in my memory
I’d be happy to process the film for you. Privacy guaranteed.
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: Thank you for the offer
Would you accept one of mine?
The bus fare flows over
I could give you a ride
REBA MCCLANE: You don’t have to worry about me.
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: I’m not worried.
(REBA lets go of her doubts and climbs into his car, allowing him to drive her home. A set change: they are at her house.)
REBA MCCLANE: Come on in, I’ll pour you a drink.
Been working there three months
Oh how I love it, being outside
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: Outside of what?
REBA MCCLANE: Outside of the inside
I can wade the waters, test the tide
Knock around in a sighted world
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE, to himself: The dragon starts to quarrell
REBA MCCLANE: You don’t talk much, do you?
Quiet you are, subdued
That’s perfectly okay
But I care what you have to say
You don’t give me sympathy
No spit on my cheek, no pity
I like that sort of grace
May I touch your face? I just want to know if you’re smiling or frowning. Whether I should shut up or not.
(REBA reaches, DOLARHYDE catches her wrist)
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: Trust me, I’m smiling
Your presence fulfills me
(FRANCIS leaves her, walking to the edge of the stage.)
ENSEMBLE: How radiant she is, the room does glow
Of her grim future she doesn’t know
Moon underfoot, twelve stars in her crown
The dragon approaches and her destiny is found
ENSEMBLE: She extended her arm, let him into her home (FRANCIS: She extended her arm, let me into her home)
And now the dragon needs to roam (And now the dragon needs to roam)
