Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm Kate and I'm here to leave a quick review!!
First Impression
Well this is quite the little tale being told through this little song here. One of what seems to be quite a lot of heartache and a lot of sadness for the poor singer of the sing.
Anyway let's get right to: Kate's Line by Line Reactions;
Me and the clown (The clown)
The clown, he’s my brother, you know
He’s got a name that no one remembers
A name no one cares to know
Well looks like the brother there is a bit of a forgotten entity judging by that description. Certainly a moment of sadness for the poor guy although we don't know if maybe that's deserved at this point.
He’s been with me since I was small, he’s always been the sweetest
Sometimes he’d take me to perform with him at his wonderful circus
And now he’s a maggoty corpse rotting in the dark
The corpse was once alive with color and joy
Well that seems properly horrifying. We definitely need to be feeling sadness for the poor brother here. That question got answered very quickly there. Definitely a lot of sadness coming in now.
So as a grown woman, I sit and wonder to myself:
“Is he alright?
What is his afterlife like?
Is there even a next life?”
Well that seems like fairly reasonable things to ponder there although the sadness is oozing through there. You do get a sense that she cares quite a bit for her brother and is hoping something good happened to him.
Oh, how I wish I knew of what brought him to such despair!
Something I’ve missed, perhaps?
Something my nine year old mind couldn’t handle?
What was it that made him this way?
Could someone let me know?
Oooh well that suddenly makes things much more interesting. Our wonderful protagonist here doesn't even know how the brother came to be that way. Well that adds a whole other layer of sadness on top.
I don’t know how or why he died, but I believe that what happened was an unnatural, unexplainable death
And I’m going to find out what went down that wretched day
The day my brother was taken away
Even if it costs me my head
Oooh lovely ending there. The repetition really echoes through what our protagonist here is trying to see and in the end we really feel the pain and determination they feel.
Aaand that's it for this oneee!!!
Overall
Overall I think you've done a great job showcasing the bond that they share and how much pain and anguish this is causing as a result of that bond here. Really nicely done!
As always remember to: Take what you think was helpful and forget the rest!
Stay Safe and Have a Nice Day!
