The Prime Directive

Don't have a video yet, but here are the lyrics. It's an angsty song that Kirk wrote for his dad.

"Never Had The Chance"

I know I should be grateful
For all the things you did.
But the only thing I can focus on
Is the fact that you're not here.
You saved a lot of people's lives
And while that's really cool,
I didn't need a damned hero...
I just needed you.

So far from home,
You made a sacrifice.
Why was it you
And not somebody else?

I never had the chance
To hear you call me "son".
I never had the chance
To know if you were proud of me.
All I have are the
Memories of others.
I never had the chance
To make my own with you, Dad.

I'm Captain of the Enterprise
I did it in just three.
My crew's the best in the whole Fleet
And even Pike agrees.
I know I should be happy
With all of my success
But nothing's filling in the gap
You left me when you died.

So far from home,
I'm in the hot seat now.
Will it be me this time
Or somebody else?

I never had the chance
To hear you call me "son".
I never had the chance
To know if you were proud of me.
All I have are the
Memories of others.
I never had the chance
To make my own with you, Dad.

I never had the chance to know you,
And I never will...

So the Federation asks the band to write a theme song. An appropriate theme song. This is what they came up with. Feel free to come up with backstory.


recording! (ignore the video)



Here stars are not reserved for night
Here there's no ground - just room for flight
Whether foe or friend comes my way
From my Directive I won't stray


There are two things I hold most dear
My crew and that Final Frontier
I hope all survive on my path
I 'll stand through fiercest astral wrath


Explore! New Worlds!
Voyage through time and space


To seek! New life!
And civilization's face


To boldly go!
on missions near and far
I, Enterprise
Will warp bright round every star!




oh, and the party's just less than 225 comments away from Captcha!
Drop in and say hi!
JOIN THE HUNT FOR CAPTCHA


OR ELSE

Okay...here they are.


They call me green blooded hobgoblin
Because of my mysterious ways.
They cannot comprehend me
Through emotional human haze.
I am cool and collected,
I make decisions based on facts.
I am always respectful
And do not go behind people's backs.

I may be Vulcan
But my human mother
Gave me a gift to stun you all...

The beat comes on,
I start to move,
Just watch my Vulcan Hand Jive!
It is logical for me to groove,
Just watch this Vulcan Hand Jive!
With fast reflexes and perfect poise
I am the best of all the boys.
Keep up with me if you are able,
And watch with awe my Vulcan Hand Jive!

People whisper all the time
But I am unaffected.
My rhythmic steps are made with care
And will not be rejected.
Captain Kirk can taunt and tease
But I will not succumb.
I am not the one who came on board
With a nearly frozen bum!

I may be Vulcan
But my human mother
Gave me a gift to stun you all...

The beat comes on,
I start to move,
Just watch my Vulcan Hand Jive!
It is logical for me to groove,
Just watch this Vulcan Hand Jive!
With fast reflexes and perfect poise
I am the best of all the boys.
Keep up with me if you are able,
And watch with awe my Vulcan Hand Jive!
And watch with awe this Vulcan Hand Jive!

not much to look at video-wise, but it's the (admittedly, rushed) audio that counts!




lyrics and brief story here

Because it's about time she had one.

I had thought of writing a song around these lines for the long forgotten Purple prompt in August but only just now have I managed to write it.

That's why I love parties. They bring out the creativity in us.

This is for the angsty second album Kobayashi Maru

PURPLE

My uniform's a shade of red
Yours is a shade of blue
When everything's been done and said
I'd give my all to you
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
You keep your cards real close
Sometimes I think that purple is
A shade I'll never know

I get blue when you see red
There's nothing I can do
When you keep me at arms length
Won't let me close to you
And if our souls are red and blue
But you won't let yours show
Tell me, is purple a colour
That I will ever know

Blue and yellow make me green
I don't know who to blame
Are gold and blue a better match
Since green runs through your veins?

And even though I can be blue
I won't be down for long
For in my heart I'm always red
And reds are brave and strong
I know that blues are loyal and true
Silence is just your way
So purple is a colour
That I'm sure I'll know some day


It ends on a cheerful note though! If anyone would like to record this then go right ahead.

Also the party is still going here. Come and have a looksie and say hello if you haven't before.

Remember Primettes, WE'RE TINY BUT HARDCORE!

COME JOIN US!


For a sampler of what we've been doing:

( Collapse )

As usual I shall let Chekov have the last word:


You heard him.

ROCK ON!

brought to you from the party post, which is still going. Feel free to drop a comment or stay for a while there!


now, the song.

"KIRK? AYE, WHY DID YOU WRITE THIS SONG FOR ME? WHAT? KEENSER PLAY KEYTAR? IT WILL BE EPIC? I THINK SPOCK HAS TOLD YOU THAT YOU CANNAE USE THAT WORD PROPERLY IN THAT MANNER!"


are your dreams lined with plaid
is it sad
that I only think of you
can't be true
because you aren't even hu-
man or alien


yet cause of you we're sailin'
through the stars
we can race
through Federation space
oh I wish you had a face


Dear Enterprise,
I'm...thinking of you.


I've got your fuel flowing
still growing
to understand you more
it's no chore
checking from bridge to-o core


yet cause of you I'm warning
myself from the brink
now I need a drink
can't help myself oh


Dear Enterprise,
I'm thinking of you


-epic Keenser keytar break-


My, my Montgomery
you've got yourself a shock
all of the crew can see it
even redshirts and Spock


My, my Montgomery
you get yourself a girl
cause a starship's Delta Vega
greatest Ice Queen of all worlds


- - -


Dear Enterprise,
I'm thinking of you


got you under my skin, under my kilt
but what else can I do?


Dear dear Enterprise,
I can't seem to find the cue
for my heart taking its exit
of the stage singing for you




(bit of a Brit-rock feel to this. Think of a mashup of various Arctic Monkeys and maybe some Libertines/Babyshambles and other groups in between. I'll record this...someday, I'm quite busy)

EARLY COS I GET TO LEAVE EARLY! THE WEEKEND STARTS NOW BBS!



YOU BEST PARTY HARD NOW! REMEMBER WE'RE TINY BUT HARDCORE!

Quite right, Captain Pike. But this Friday there will be a rave so get your gifs out and get ready to party.

The poll is closed and the votes have been counted.

So our second Epic Party will start on Friday, 18th September 2009. At 18:00 BST. People were divided about whether we should have a milestone or not but just over half of us feel that it isn't a truely Epic Party unless Captcha comes out. So we'll say we want to get to 5000 but wont lose sleep if we don't!

I hope to see you all there! Even if you're late (as I will be - I'll basically put the post up and disappear for a few hours) it's ok!

SO KEEP BOLDLY ROCKING AND GET READY TO PARTY HARD! REMEMBER WE'RE TINY BUT HARDCORE!

You have until tonight 00:00 BST to vote in the Party Poll.

So far it looks as though the consensus is that we should have a Party this Friday (18th Sept 2009), with a view to get 5000 comments. I would like to point out that there is no such thing as turning up late to a Party Post, unless we make 5000 and go to bed in which case you are too late.

Vote Here!

I'll close the poll down and announce the results at midnight.

Go Vote; The power of Chibi!Spock compels you.



Y U NO LUFF HIM? YYYYYYYYYYY?
