leon when he hears zyglavis curse his name under his breath

I've mentioned in passing that I was slowly putting together moodboards of songs for the SCM Gods. Now none of them are anywhere near finished but seeing as from my quick searches when I first started throwing them together I somehow managed to end up with thirteen songs on Huedhaut's list, maybe I will at least go through why I've associated these songs with him?

Major spoilers for Hue's path under the cut

Let's start in the past then shall we? Yes some of these are clearly a mood for Huedhaut/Clotho not Huedhaut/MC but bear with me...

1. Driftwood (The Moody Blues)

'I don't remember what was said In the confusion that night I only know what's on my mind What's in the future, we will decide

Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew'

This possibly isn't the neatest one on this list but tell me this doesn't at least make you think a little of the night that The Goddess of Fate decided to save the Earth over her life with Hue. I mean this:

'But darling, now I know you Life could never be the same Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore'

This is certainly Hue's feelings isn't it? 😭

Okay continuing on with the Huedhaut/Clotho stuff for now and now we're in that era of Hue being on his own...

This one totally feels like it could be his feelings in the immediate aftermath:

2. Cold Outside of Your Heart (The Moody Blues)

'Then out of the blue, it was over And how did you think I would survive

'Cause it's cold outside Yes, it's cold outside of your heart'

I mean, ouch, but it fits doesn't it?

Okay two more that are specifically pertaining to Huedhaut after losing Clotho, though both of these I feel are nearer to when they go and meet MC for the first time. If you think about how he is in Prelude to Fate (the special story where they show MC what happened just before they got their marks of sin) these two songs feel like his internal thoughts ever since he was on his own.

3. Deeper Shade of Blue (Steps)

'I used to say you were wonderful Now I just wonder where you are It's easy to say memories fade But I'm still missing you, nothing's changed

And I'm a deeper shade of blue And there's nothin' I can do You're so far, far away'

I could quote the entirety of the lyrics to this one but it fits so well because Hue knows that her soul survived due to his interfering but he has no reason to believe he will ever see her again and even if that did happen she's not the same person, just a reincarnation.

On a similar note:

4. Haunted (The Moody Blues)

'I really miss you when the nights are long And only silence is heard in this world of song But life goes on And forever more I'll be haunted by your love'

Do I really need to say more about this one? This absolutely is Hue before his path starts.

And finally in this section, one that totally relates to how Hue feels about the Goddess of Fate leaving him behind:

5. Someone You Loved (Lewis Capaldi)

'Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved'

I mean... do I need to talk about this? It was sudden. And the line let my guard down? I mean Hue can see into the future, The Goddess of Fate could change people's futures. They are absolutely so entwined and I feel like Hue probably would feel like he should have noticed something before it got as far as it did.

Find another option like he and MC did later (twice in fact! The end of his main story where they calm the issues a third way rather than Hue's idea vs Zyglavis' , but also the end of his sequel story where rather than MC stepping through the door on her own, they step through it together. Would that have worked before? (And as that did work there... what was the King worried about in his Promise of Infinity Story? UGH).

Okay let's get out of this part of his path shall we? I want happier Hue... (man that's not exactly easy is it? *hugs him* ). Let's start with something a little more hopeful:

6. I Know You're Out There Somewhere (The Moody Blues)

'And to those who lack the courage And say it's dangerous to try Well they just don't know That love eternal will not be denied I know you're out there somewhere'

Now this one isn't quite a perfect fit I know, but the vibe of this certainly makes me think about how he is in the other Gods' paths: knowing that she is indeed out there somewhere living a new life.

Okay back onto his actual path now and this next one feels like it could be his feelings just after MC calls him Hue for the first time and has clearly remembered at least some of her past life as the Goddess of Fate:

7. Bless The Wings (That Bring You Back) (The Moody Blues)

'I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now, my darling And love you just once more

If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand'

I mean that's what he asks isn't it? Just for that night to indulge him? Of course then he decides it isn't what to do because he doesn't think MC's feelings have returned.

Talking of which, this next one feels like it's absolutely perfect for after they have finally sorted the mess at the end of his main story and are back together without Hue having to do anything drastic and MC not having to be killed and screw you Zyglavis they found another option xD:

8. The Story in Your Eyes (The Moody Blues)

'I've been thinking about our fortune And I've decided that we're really not to blame For the love that's deep inside us now is still the same

And the sounds we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes It's been shining down upon me now, I realize'

Music to the story in your eyes. Like you cannot get much clearer than that when it comes to Hue and MC. There is literally a story in MC's eyes because of Hue sacrificing the stars from one of his in order for her to exist in the first place.

Let's head to a sweeter one now:

9. Perfect (Ed Sheeran)

Okay some of this doesn't quite fit but look me in the eyes and tell me these lines in particular don't fit wonderfully:

'But darling, just kiss me slow Your heart is all I own And in your eyes, you're holding mine'

'Fighting against all odds I know we'll be alright this time Darling, just hold my hand Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes'

Yup, eyes again, but it just is such a clear theme in Hue's route.

Okay let's go a bit more left field here. I guess this one is maybe fitting for Hue's sequel story:

10. One More Time To Live (The Moody Blues)

This starts nice and gently with the following:

'Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye

One more time to live and I have made it mine Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes'

But it soon degrades into this:

'Desolation Creation Tell me someone why there's only confusion Evolution

Tell me someone that this is all an illusion Pollution Tell me someone Saturation'

Which to me feels like what it could feel like to Hue in one of his visions, especially during his sequel where the water is literally screaming out in pain at him.

And then right near the end you get this:

'Changes in my life Communication Compassion Solution

Look out on the hedgerow As the world rushes by Hear the birds sign a sigh'

So it goes right round in a circle but the communication, compassion, solution line... that's Hue and MC deciding to fix it by stepping through the door together isn't it?

Apparently you can only have 10 audio tracks per post on Tumblr but this should hopefully have covered the main ones anyway.

The three tracks I didn't get round to including as I tried to order them into this post if anyone is curious are: 'It's A Hard Life' (Queen), 'Will You Sing a Chorus With Me?' (Anthony John Clarke), and 'Between Midnight and Blue' (Anthony John Clarke)
