7th Con [Accidental Audio]

[verydistinct]

[There's a few sounds of a guitar being tuned, having been caught towards the end of the process. Surprisingly, despite the changing weather and no pitch reference, the strings end up either on or close to perfect tuning. After strumming a few more times, Eliot starts to sing for about a minute, minute and a half. Then, as he gets to this part

[video, 'cause Thomas thinks everyone needs to see just how pretty he is]

[godofcologne]

[He's smirking. Doing his best to be irritating, as always.]

Play Free Bird.

[video, because he doesn't know how to switch it back. or doesn't care.]

[Hear that, Thomas? That's a growl.]

How about not.

[godofcologne]

[He hears it, and raises Eliot a laugh. He likes getting a rise out of people.]

Going to stick with all the woe is me love bullshit? Not very imaginative, darling.

[Eliot's default state is being pissed off at people. Thomas gets no credit. This is all Mr Angry dude]

That's not actually what the song is. It's the perspective of the guy that's trying to get the girl, and narrating her part. The rest of the verse goes 'I said, "as luck would have it I was tossed by the throne. I let my Marion down some years ago and I traded my coat of arms for a guitar and some broken yellow lines."'

[A dry, cynical chuckle]

Throw in a reference to a pick-up truck and you've got a country hit.

[Muttermutter]

It was a country hit.

[You have no idea how much he ended up hearing thanks to the job he was on prior to Adstring.]

[godofcologne]

[Another laugh.]

Really. That explains the mixed references, at least.

[verydistinct]

Not exactly something I'd write about, anyway.

[Not that he's ever written songs, but hey.]

With the weather changing, the strings needed tuning.

[Yes, that totally explains him playing the guitar after the tuning. Completely.]
