I may just be some rando, but I will say unequivocally that my life is better because you’re here. I have a signed sketch of Davan and Vanessa in their wedding dino suits and I look at it every day. Your art is incredibly important to me.

So thanks for the change of plans I guess.

I have two recs, and I have truly no idea if they are what you're looking for or not:

Swordcatcher by Cassandra Clare
Godkiller by Hannah Kaner

His work and his story have been immensely important to me as a musician, and rarely have I been so moved as when I got the chance to sing his work Rejoice in the Lamb, with the exultant and tragic poetry of Christopher Smart.

Okay I'll stop gushing. Britten is great, is what I'm saying.

A gay man in Britain in the middle of the 20th century, he maintained a private relationship with Peter Pears for nearly 40 years, and knew many influential artists of the time including Gypsy Rose Lee, W.H. Auden, and Salvador Dalí while he lived in the February House in Brooklyn.

Benjamin Britten has always been one of my favorite composers, and I have loved every chance to perform his music. A singular talent. And it is so fitting that he was born on the feast of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians.

These are both incredibly good answers honestly

Only one soul is brave enough to ask the question "why would I use credit when I can simply steal it"

inspiring stuff, keep up the good work! (/g)
