So I start research on a language known to be as logical as possible, then get interested in the fact that people make music in it and find a wonderful song, that is very emotionally charged... Some irony in that
Wonderful song!

[@Doubledig]

Well done. A difficult topic but unique song and delivery. More songs in Lojban please!

This song has such an upbeat tune yet such a dark subject. It reminds me of "Pumped up kicks", a similarly upbeat song about a school shooting.

Ok not a Lojban speaker but this is awesome :)

Your music gives me the strength to live- I hope you keep writing and singing forever. Although I don't know you, I get the feeling that you're a good person with a strong spirit. From one woman to another, I wish you only the best, you deserve to wield the power in life that your music holds in the soul.

Oh my goodness!! Reading this genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so, so very much for the lovely kind words. Truly, it is such an honor and a privilege to know that my songs have made a difference in someone else’s life. And likewise, from me to you - I may not know you, but you are in my thoughts tonight. May you be blessed with the strength to overcome any obstacle, and the resilience to weather any storm.
Love,
Rachel
(And don’t worry, I fully intend to keep making music until I drop dead - even if IRL obligations make it so I can only produce a new song every few months, augh!)

@@NoiseAndBells I stand corrected, TV Tropes seems to have canceled that page.

I need this in Spotify XD

I think you'd do an incredible job with Pollyanna's song from Mother/Earthbound. It seems like such a lovely song fits your voice well

I understood it as "I have two equally unpleasant options, so where's the choice?"
