This was my first exposure to storytelling albums, and frankly? it was a great introduction

[@dARKONE06]

Any good recommendations? As for me, I'm really a fan of "into the electric castle" album from ayreon. I also love Coheed and Cambria but their story line isn't as straight forward.

[@rewolf71]

Man, I still want this album to be made into a stage play. it's awesome. so visual. also the reference to the San bernardino Train crash. '89 was not a great year.

[@everyones-a-cryptic]

This is really beautiful; my drama teacher says he proposed with one of these

[@dragonhart1342]

I know it's probably not what the writer intended, but I love envision the end of Save Our City (8:10), the priest is shouting and rousing people to fight with a Bible in hand (ready to actually fight), but a little kid, just as the demons are about to jump her, kneels and puts her hands together in prayer, and a gold shield repels the demon back. And you see tons of thousands of angels protecting while others destroy and beat back the evil with swords and arrows. Just absolutely beautiful song and amazing album. Absolutely sobbed when he says "I thought I'd come along for the ride."

[@reenuravi2255]

Your socks on the wood floor The moment I'd hoped for I'm terrified to think you might be real I curl up behind you Fit my body to yours like a shell I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed I've been waiting for so long To touch you and sleep in your eyes And now as my heart's beating so hard I hold on and keep you at home in my arms They tried to console me But you're all the consolation I ever needed Years of smelling the clothes you left behind The photographs that seemed so far away I don't need them now You turn to me alive, awake, and blinking, baby "Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile 'cause I never left at all You check the clock, it's time to go You grab your keys and you're out the door I step outside and you're waving goodbye It's all happening again like before As you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside I knock on your window, you stop just in time Around to the other side I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride." I've been waiting for so long (Time slows, and I take your hand) To touch you and sleep in your eyes (I hold you as we lose control) Together our hearts beating so hard Hold on, baby, we're almost home

[@iandrury6977]

As a huge fan of this album and it's storytelling. I wonder if anybody here has ever listened to "The Deer Hunter" It's very much in the same vein. It's five albums with a total of five acts. Telling a story of a young man raised in the wilderness coming to learn about living in the city and the crime that comes with it. Should definitely check it out.

@@angelganon8213 I think he is implying listening to IV first really sets the tone, similar to how some movies end showing the final scene(s) at the beginning and then show us how they got there

[@reenuravi2255]

Save Our City Song by Ludo Overview Lyrics Artists Listen Mr. Mayor, the mission burns The zombies are marching, they close on the square Families are cold, look down at their souls Huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall Faith in their God, that's all that they've got Across the room, beyond the pane The whole world is churning, bleeding and burning, hailstorms and ash The moon is as blood Over the soldiers who sag in the mud Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Little boy, I'm just a man, a mere civil servant Against this tyrant God I've allied with our King, salvation he brings Protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent But the dead walk again, this is the end Oh I'm just a man, my time has come Long live King Simius! May he deliver us from this nightmare! And with a blast like the sun His lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Fought and fell for our great king We burned alive and boiled The dragon, red and wrathful calls We rise and march once more Cursed in death, we starve for flesh Our skin is cooked and curled We'll eat our kin and smash them in In Hell, we'll grind their bones Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Save our city (Fought and fell for our great king) Keep our souls, Lord (We burned alive and boiled) Through the Rapture [The mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window] (The dragon, red and wrathful calls) Of this world [and cries out from the ledge to the people below] (We rise and march once more, cursed in death-) (Save our city) There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight (-we starve for flesh. Our skin is-) (Keep our souls, Lord) Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right (- cooked and curled) (Through the rapture) Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls (We'll eat our kin and smash them in) It's time now to rise and fight! Save our city! Keep our souls, Lord! Rise now and fight!

[@reenuravi2255]

Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light, the diagrams and haunted sleep on frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams, your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die, the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again. The circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control, they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood, the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees, through heavy air a demon shrieks, what have I done? What hell is waiting for me? CHORUS I crashed before the birth of Christ, pterodactyls swarming You died in 1989, just wanna get back to that morning in May Keep you in bed, never escape, holding you close, Listen to you breathe the evening glow of fading light and cooling space. Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone, the burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere, like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined, to hold and keep, like petals pressed in sheets, making love to moonlight in our sleep. But now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide, that massive screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing just outside, I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life, fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what time has done! REPEAT CHORUS I carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die All my strife has been in vain The glaciers come and wash my words away REPEAT CHORUS

[@hollygray7149]

So what happens next? Does He get in the car with her? Does he die to? Why did he not stop her from leaving?

[@jacobcrowder2600]

He gets in the car with her and dies with her. If he stops her from dying, he creates a paradox, one that would ultimately result in mankind going extinct at the hands of the dragon and the tyrant God. Also, he chose to die with her because the people that sent him back to the morning in May only gave him one day with her, he's saying he'd rather die with her in his arms than live the rest of his life without her.

[@LonnieBruton]

After the rapture when he's speaking to the choir of angels and they send him back, he admits he cannot stop her from dying and asks to be sent back for one more day. While he cannot stop her from dying, they never told him he could not die with her. Also another take is that they only gave him one day. So he had to die with her.
