Signy Mallory - Finity's End

[@AtholAnderson]

I could see some of the crew of the Norway singing this in a bar while on shore leave, and as they finish, the shot pans back to a darker corner of the bar where Capt. Mallory is standing. She gives a very faint smile, before turning and leaving without her crew noticing she was there.

[@aaronsmart9839]

Likely be a bit of a bar fight there too lol.

@Ishaan Curtis i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@christiangibson2960]

@Ishaan Curtis it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@sargeian2]

From the first time to the most recent time of me listening to this song, I still would fight demons out of hell for Captain Mallory!!

Just found sci fi folk songs and I am so sad I haven't sooner

There really needs to be a movement to bring them into the light, being a nerd is cool these days, a cover band could do so much

“Out of Print - Company defunct” - that’s so sad ☹ I hope that I someday manage to get a hold of a Firestorm tape. Our history is dying a bit with every song which can’t be shared anymore.

I was even worse, it is almost imposible to get a hand on legal copy, even used one, here in Bohemia.

@Leslie Fish That is awesome to hear! I found your music a few years back, and discovered the Filk genre. Now I have two genres I love, Metal, and Filk.

This song made me read down below station so many years ago. Wonderful to find it again.

It is. I found a hardback copy for a couple of dollars at used book store.

who was this by?

[@paxnerdvana8287]

CJ Cherryh wrote it back in the '80s, I think

[@discountpotato5680]

@@paxnerdvana8287 whats the book about?

[@paxnerdvana8287]

It's difficult to give a short summary, but the wikipedia article is pretty good. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downbelow_Station

[@uguku]

She's captain of the Norway And a thorn in Union's side, Protector of Pell station And a source of grudging pride. Left the Mazianni With their price upon her head And stayed to guard the stations That the Company left for dead. Captain Signy Mallory Has no soul they say; The captain of the Norway Has a heart of frozen clay. That on the bridge of the Norway She throws men's lives like dice; Captain Signy Mallory, Her eyes are fire and ice. They say she doesn't think about The lives that she has lost; They say when Norway goes to fight She doesn't count the cost. That once she's planed a course, She never reckons wrong or right; So why does she stare sleeplessly Into the dark all night? Captain Signy Mallory Has no soul they say; The captain of the Norway Has a heart of frozen clay. That on the bridge of the Norway She throws men's lives like dice; Captain Signy Mallory, Her eyes are fire and ice. They say for Norway's captain Discipline's an iron whip; It's worth your life to break her rules In dock or on the ship. That no one's safe that's under her command, But if that's so, Then why do her troops cheer her When she passes them below? Captain Signy Mallory Has no soul they say; The captain of the Norway Has a heart of frozen clay. That on the bridge of the Norway She throws men's lives like dice; Captain Signy Mallory, Her eyes are fire and ice. They say the captain has no Crude emotions to control, Just iron fist and iron will And iron-banded soul. They say she shows no mercy And they say she never can... So why is Norway refuge For a burned out Union man? Captain Signy Mallory Has no soul they say; The captain of the Norway Has a heart of frozen clay. That on the bridge of the Norway She throws men's lives like dice; Captain Signy Mallory, Her eyes are fire and ice. She's captain of the Norway And a thorn in Union's side; The Mazianni fear her, She's the heart of Norway's pride. And Stationer or Merchanter, From Fargone back to Pell, Know from Mallory or Norway Would fight demons out of hell.

[@Sixfools]

"Know from Mallory or Norway" should be "Know... for Mallory ole' Norway"

[@TreespeakerOfTheLand]

Thank you for the lyrics ^^

[@NICEFINENEWROBOT]

@@Sixfools Stationer or Merchanter... know: For Mallory (all hands on deck of the spaceship, i.e.) all Norway Would fight demons out of hell.

[@amadandubh1540]

cant beleive im so old hearing this for first time. Thank you so much for the oppertunity to hear it.

[@periscope1986]

Yeah but the internet gives a refuge for books and songs like this

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

We need a version of this for Captain Kathryn Janeway (put a little half-syllable in the middle to keep the meter). It would really fit, particularly with stills from the episode "Night".

[@nefariousgremlin7554]

I rather imagine the Norway like the Defiant, or the Rocinante. Mallory herself kind of reminds me of Janeway from her description

[@jeremyszpicki491]

I imagine malory in a more 40K way, with a literal iron hand and a terrifying red lazor eye

[@umadbroimatroll7918]

Reminds me of the episode where the doctor was in a museum and the crew of Voyager was remembered wrongly. Much like signy Mallory, the story's are blown out of proportion by the enemy.

[@Hunter12396]

I also thought of "evil" Janeway

[@umadbroimatroll7918]

Having now watched the expanse, signy Mallory is literally captain Drummer

Also, Ill get enlisted on spot...

[@idaowens6237]

Me too. I saw a bunch of comments talking about the original version of the song, so I came looking for it. I do like this version, but yeah, I like Heather Alexander's better.

[@TreespeakerOfTheLand]

Same, except for me liking this song better. Guess I'll have a new addiction after Valdemar :P

[@alis.5564]

Same with me, except I heard the Heather Alexander version originally. I prefer that one.

[@the13inquisitor59]

Where would you look online if you wanted a copy of these songs?

[@timhallfarthing383]

If people are right then nowhere, these are fan uploads from old cassettes. On the other hand knowing the politics of the artist they wouldn't mind if you made a copy or even better performed yourself if you have the skill.

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

I wish copyright laws had a provision so that, if something is completely out of official reproduction and distribution, and thus there is no more revenue from it for the artist, it should be fully legal to copy and distribute. At that point, it isn't piracy anymore, it's salvage.

[@radiantflash6108]

Easiest way would be to download the audio from the video to your PC, and burn it onto a CD.

[@dragonkingofthestars]

any advice a good program to do that with?
