12 Mar 21 - 05:41 AM (#4097269) Subject: Music in 'Firefly' From: Dave the Gnome I'm rewatching Jos Whedon's 'Firefly' and really enjoying it. Even better second time round. Question is - Anyone know anything about the music and its performers? Some details here - https://firefly.fandom.com/wiki/Music - but I wondered if anyone know any of the artists or songs and if anyone performs any of the songs? |

I had never heard of 'filk' before I watched a couple of Piers Cawley's lockdown song swap videos. Apparently it's quite a big cult thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filk_music |

12 Mar 21 - 12:09 PM (#4097322) Subject: RE: Music in 'Firefly' From: Phil Edwards I'm sure there's an echo of Hughie the Graeme in the Ballad of Serenity. Compare: "Peace, be still, my father dear, All your grieving, let it be, Though they bereave me of my life They cannot take the heavens from me." "Take my life, take my land Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free: You can't take the sky from me," Whedon's 'sky' means something different from HtG's 'heavens', but the sentiment's very similar. |
