Mar 13

Tonight’s love song is for Marceline from Adventure Time. (Score! 10 more campy points!) We almost never watch T.V. at CI (we are too busy writing songs for you beauties); but if we do, it’s Adventure Time or The Regular Show. The music on both shows is ingenious in that it takes common structures, with simple hooks, and pairs them with odd lyrics. They all are instantly stuck in my head. It was a wonderful challenge writing lyrics that are intentionally awkward for this song. Fans of the show will revel in the references and recognize some language (i.e. “emotionally exhausting”). I truly believe if Marceline was real, she’d be the perfect woman; my lyrics explain why. I went for short and sweet with this—just like the tunes in the show. I apologize for all the white noise; the only way to record my Beemo (pictured here) singing b-l-o-o-d was with the mic turned up too loud. I devote this song to Marceline at—marceline-the-queen, marceline-your-vampire-queen, and je-marceline—and to these blogs with great Adventure Time content: adventuretimefan, dettsu, itsliketotallyadventuretime, fyeahadventuretimefanart, adventuretimeconfessions, merryadventuring, and shadowofmefisto. Thank you for the inspiration, bloggers! This song can also be found on YouTube here; free downloads here; and, if you like it, share it! If people really enjoy it, then I may write more songs based on the Land of Ooo. If you have any requests/ideas, message me! — K.C.

     Marceline, Be My Vampire Queen (Part 1)

Oh, Marceline, be my Vampire Queen;
it will be emotionally exhausting
but worth it.

You may be the only shot I have at love;
you may be the only one who values the red of my blood.
And Finn can have Bubblegum—I hate pink, and I hate sweet.
I want a dark woman who plays electric bass.
And you may be 1,000 years old, but you’re emotionally unstable like a teen (like me):
your fry song made me cry for weeks.
I know about Hambo, I know you feel love.
And my love only comes in shades of red;
I’ve got so much, you’ll never be hungry again.

Acoustic Answer Artists on Tumblr Audio Post Blade Runner DIY Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep? Folk Guitar Immortality Leonard Cohen Lo-fi Love Marceline Mortality Music Musicians Poetry Question Vampire Indie Original

Mar 15

This is the CI process at its best: I started the week writing a song for a cartoon vampire (the lovely Marceline), and the conversations with bloggers that ensued pushed me down an existential rabbit hole. What would it really be like to love a vampire? Hence, this song. My followers will note this is darker/more serious than most of my work; well, I’d like to have a huge arching career that ends with decades of Leonard Cohen-like music-making (i.e. poetry-level lyricism). We only dream the biggest dreams around here! I devote this tune to these awesome vampire blogs—reasoningwithvampires and fuck-yeah-vampires—and to these Blade Runner blogs—fuckyeahbladerunner, 1187hunterwasser, and fuckyesbladerunner. Whoa, how did I jump from vampires to Blade Runner? Because that film (and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) are dealing with the same question I am in this song: what is mortality? And my song’s title and the lyrics in the chorus are inspired by this classic moment in the film. So, what would you say if someone you loved offered the opportunity to live with them forever? Here’s my answer. — Kavalier

     Bright Flame

When you offered me your kiss, it was hard to say no.
I’d like to stay here with you, leave death’s shadow.
But I know I love you because I can’t forever.
I know I want to hold you because my time is short.
My flame burns bright; yours burns slow and low.

You’ve seen so many years, time has no meaning.
But now you’re diluted, there’s no feeling.
REFRAIN, CHORUS

You can’t love me as I love you;
you’ll find another a thousand times over.
REFRAIN, CHORUS

When I saw this wonderful image of Marcy the other night, I was inspired to finish Part 2 of my love ballad for her. The artist ShinySoul said he was trying to draw Marcy in a “semi-realistic style.” I think he did a masterful job; plus, I love Marcy in her sun hat. If you like his work as much as I do, please go like his original post here. Like him, for this song I did my best to imagine Marceline was real. So, unlike my other #Adventure Time songs, where I wrote in the quirky style of the show, I wrote like I would to capture a woman’s heart in RL. Of course, the lyrics are still all about Marcy. In fact, you’ll notice that I got her to play bass ;) This song is devoted to ShinySoul for inspiring me, to Marceline at—marceline-the-queen and marceline-your-vampire-queen—and to these awesome AT blogs I’ve found recently: fuckyeahmarcelinebubblegum, yoitsadventuretime, yesadventuretime, finn13, foreveradventuretime, and princess-partay. You can listen to Part 1 of my attempt to woo Marceline here. If you like, you can stream this and subscribe to CI on YouTube here. The built in link on the audio player will take you to free downloads. Also, I know that I want to write a song for Bubblegum next; so, if you are an artist and would like to suggest an inspiring image, please message me. Thanks for listening everyone!

     Marceline, Be My Vampire Queen (Part 2)

It’s time for a song, Marceline.
Let me be the guitar to your bass.
Let’s create cosmic sound waves.
Let’s make music Ooo’s never heard before;
music to survive millenia, just like you.
Marceline, be my queen.

The sun is shining, Marceline.
Let me be your hat and elbow high gloves.
Let me be your place in the shade.
I’ll be there to protect you from pain;
let me be your knight in shining armor, Marceline.
Marceline, be my queen.

It’s time to eat, Marceline.
I’ll buy you more fries than you’ve ever seen.
Let’s cover them in deep red ketchup.
Let me be your red in a world of black and white.
Let me be the fuel that keeps your fire burning bright.
Marceline, be my queen.

I’ll be your mirror, the reflection you can’t see.
I’ll tell you you’re beautiful every day.
Marceline, be my queen.

So, if you were Marcy, would you be my queen?

Adventure Time Artists on Tumblr Beemo Cartoon Network Demon Evil Finn Fry Song Hunson Abadeer Jake LOL Marceline Ooo Vampire acoustic indie music musicians original rap singer songwriter comics art

May 18

Hunson Abadeer is the vocalist in tonight’s AT-themed song. Every episode with Marceline’s dad suggests that he’s not as bad a guy as he seems at first. The Lord of Evil might really be The Lord of Not-So-Evil. I wondered how a full apology to Marceline might sound, and I imagined a whole scene for an episode; the audio post includes dialogue, a rap, and an apologetic ballad. There are loads of direct quotes and references to Ooo in the lyrics that true AT fans will enjoy. I dedicate this audio to my friend and fellow artist over at davidthejoyner. He suggested I write a song about Abadeer to pair with an epic GIF he’s working on. Keep your eyes peeled for his work, due to come out very soon. I also dedicate this song to these rad blogs with solid AT content: finn-theheroguy, advtimefanart, its-adventuretime, f***yeah-adventure-time, ohyeahadventuretime, lumping-righteousness, f***yeahkasumisty, and epik-adventure-time. Free downloads of this song are here, and you can stream it/like it YouTube here. Thanks for listening everyone and enjoy! — Kavalier Calm

     Lord of Not-So-Evil

You know, Marceline, your friends are alright.
Their political rap was pretty great.
I bet I could write one! (Marceline looks shocked)

I’m Hunson Abadeer, Lord of Evil;
I rule over all of my sheeple.
I am Fear like Beemo is Camera.
I will make you pass a banana.
Visit me in The Nightosphere;
and you will never leave here. (HAHA)

But, really, Marceline, there’s something I need to tell you.

I’ve had enough of my tough guy, demon persona.
I may be deathless, but I’m not heartless.
I just want to be the dad I never had.
I want to suck out souls with you.
Trust me, Hot Dog Princess is so delicious;
she would have gone perfectly with your fries,
even though they were cold.

But that’s old news.
What I’m trying to say is:
I’m proud of you, and I want another chance.

If you don’t want to wear my amulet of chaotic evil,
I understand. Not everyone likes to wield sentient blood mist
in a cloud. And I like what you’ve done with the family axe.
I learned lute, too, to show you that I approve
of you and your friends, even though they knocked that sandwich
out of my hands.
CHORUS

Marceline, will you give me another chance?

What would you want to do in Ooo?

Hey, friends and Adventure Time fans. I’m working on a song called “Strangling Pixies” to wrap up my album of original Adventure Time songs. Someone requested that I write a song about the bromance between Marcy and Finn. The song is all about hanging out as bros in Ooo; like what bros’d do for fun. You know, like go through a maze in a quest to acquire an Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant. So, what would you want to do if you were in Ooo?

What would you do in Ooo?

I’m writing a song about hanging out as bros in Ooo. It’s all about the kind of trouble/fun you can get into in the Adventure Time universe. What would you do if you were bored in Ooo? Who would you hang out with? Who would you prank? Fight? Kiss? I got some good answers yesterday. Give me some more. I’m going to devote this song to you if I use your answer! — K.C.

Jun 06

With tonight’s track I’m releasing my Adventure Time-themed album What Time Is It?!!! It’s entirely composed of songs written for this blog. If there’s a good response, I may write more AT songs in the future; otherwise, I’m ready to write about new, strange worlds. This song—the first track on the album—is written is response to a request from smobear, who asked me to write about the bromance between Finn and Marcy. She suggested the name “strangling pixies”, in reference to Marcy’s infamous, evil-esque request of Finn. The lyrics focus on all the cool things many of you said you’d like to do with your bros in Ooo (here and here). Check out the links I put in the lyrics to brief clips of AT on YouTube. I dedicate this song to smobear and these bloggers whose ideas made the final lyric cut: shadowofmefisto, zombieeggrollz, purplebloodedmajesty, abhorredlotus, psyclopses, imperfectblueeyes, and lilgarre.  Download this song or the entire album for free here and stream it it on YouTube here. Thanks for listening everyone, and I hope you dig my rhymes. — K.C.

     Strangling Pixies

Yeah, Marceline, I’ll strangle pixies with you.
But then what are we gonna do?

Let’s steal the Ice King’s crown and put him in a block of ice,
take pictures with Beemo, and show every would-be wife.
Let’s cuddle with Cuties while they curse and be flies on Tree Trunks’ pie.
Let’s party with Pat in a giant’s stomach like it’s 1999.

In Ooo, there’s so much trouble to get into.
Bros gotta do what bros gotta do.

Let’s prank every princess, put peanut butter in PB’s hair,
put ketchup on Hot Dog’s buns ‘cause we just don’t care.
Let’s send a fake love letter from Brad to Lumpy Space,
and when she gets mad, we’ll vanish without a trace.
CHORUS

Let’s make music, Marceline, and you can be my muse;
Trust me I got more rhymes than the Choose Goose.
Let’s hang out with Jake, watch a cheesy romance movie,
eat an everything burrito, and feel real groovy.
CHORUS
SOLO

Let’s quest after something special two bros can share:
I want to ride an ancient psychic war elephant as a  pair.
We can go to battle, defend the weak and the poor;
we’ll be stronger than the weapon that ended The Mushroom War.

AT Adventure Time Beemo Crowdsource Inspiration Finn Hambo Jake Kavalier Calm Marceline The Fry Song The Vampire Queen electric bass love music musicians original singer songwriter BMO

Jun 08

This was the first Adventure Time song I wrote, and in some ways it’s the best. I think I successfully pulled off the AT-style; Marceline could have a lover in an episode sing a song for her just like this. If you want to read about the writing process, I originally posted the song here. If you dig this, be sure to check out my whole album of AT songs. Enjoy! — K.C.

Oh, Marceline, be my Vampire Queen;
