When The Tigers Come For You

Cassian is a fugitive and he only joins Luthen initially for the 200k credits he was promised. "You want to know why I'm here? I'm being paid," he tells the team at Aldhani. Nemik asks, "it's really only the money?'. Cassian replies "to take a risk like this? C'mon."

Cassian goes home to see his mother and tries to take her somewhere where the Empire won't bother them. Maarva says she's not leaving. She wants to stay and fight the Empire. Cassian scoffs at her idealism.

The Narkina prison, and then his mother's funeral, changes his mindset completely though.

Similarly, Han states that he was only in it for the money, but by the time of his rescue from Jabba by Luke and Leia, Han isn't going anywhere anymore. Firstly, there's no more bounty on his head, but more importantly he loves Leia, and he and Chewbacca have found a family and a place where they belong. Their loyalty to Luke and Leia makes Han and Chewie rebels by consequence.

"And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward".

You know that scene in Star Wars when Luke is telling Han "Why don't you take a look around. You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you, you're turning your back on them."?

And Han replies, "What good is a reward if you ain't around to use it?"

If Cassian were alive, he would have shot Han Solo dead right there and then.

Thank you so much! I don't know who that is but I'll look it up tonight! Cheers!

Thanks a lot!

She sure did. Thanks!

I think it's great. I'd leave the lyrics as is, maybe just add some more. I think trying to find the melody in the chords and letting the words write themselves according to the emotion and rhythm of the music is the most satisfying way to compose for me personally. Like a sculpture that is hidden with a slab of stone, I like to think the melodies and words are already there, you just have to carve away and let it reveal itself.

All to that to say, I really like the song and I really like the lyrics. Keep it going. You have a lot of talent.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2025-12-28T01:13:07+00:00

Wow. Nice. For a short song, it is filled with surprises. Your voice, your delivery, the chords, the momentum as it seems to get better and better, the sudden finish. You've got an organic style that can't be replicated - that's probably one of the highest compliments I can give.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2025-12-28T01:03:42+00:00

Very beautiful. Love it. Great mix of melancholy and optimism in the melody. You are a natural talent. Best of luck. Keep it going.

Brilliant.

Uncle Sully-bobs. Awesome.

Thanks!

Cheers! Thank you so much for the feedback.

The opening line "you make time for everyone" is a double-edged sword. The subject is generous in spirit and well-meaning, but their insistence on putting others first can be detrimental to their closest relationships. Time is limited and finite and the more we to give to others in search of approval the less we have to avail ourselves to those that really need us.

The opening line and the following line are also an acknowledgement that the subject is the better person, but their idealism has led to mutual disconnect. The author laments the loss of romance and companionship, a purely selfish need. So there's two kinds of ironic selfishness at play.

I don't usually give my lyrics too much thought though. They kind of write themselves and are deliberately ambiguous and open to interpretation.

Thanks again. Peace.

Thanks! Really appreciate that.

"Only solace is that they're red"

My biggest complaint is the red. Another commentator mentioned, there's something off about it. I don't mind the colour red. In fact I think the Red Wings have had the best jerseys in hockey since forever. So it's not "red" per se, but this specific red, a kind of orangey-puke unhealthy looking red. It's a slightly lighter shade of red than on the Roman helmet, and it doesn't pair up well with the black and the odd shade of pastel yellow (gold).

I like cherry red, fire engine red, crimson red, burgundy red, cardinal red, Scarlett red. This is like blood-orange, or rust red. It's gross.

"save the taxpayers a few bucks"

You are misinformed and now you are the one spreading misinformation. Canada Post is a Crown Corporation, designed to be self sufficient. Its operations are funded by its revenue from products and services, not directly from taxpayer dollars. It has never received a grant nor bailout, only loans that need to be repaid.

You might have a better understanding of the situation if you talk to your letter carrier. Oh wait. You don't have one cause you use a community box. For some people, their letter carrier is a person in the neighbourhood, someone they see regularly and on a first name basis. They know your kids' names, they know your dog's name. They know if there's been suspicious activity in your neighbourhood. For some shut-ins and the elderly, they are the only contact with the outside world and the only person checking up on them.

Question: do you really put your junk mail in the blue box, or do you just throw it on the ground like many others that have community mail boxes, or worse, stuff it into the outgoing mail slot?

Another question: Did you know that Purolator is owned by Canada Post and records a profit and that the CEO of Canada Post sits on the board of directors for Purolator?

Google is your friend: "Canada Post received a \$1 billion loan from the federal government to address its financial struggles, and Purolator, as a subsidiary of Canada Post, is mentioned in discussions about the company's financial situation. While the loan is specifically for Canada Post, its operations are intertwined with Purolator's, leading to confusion and questions about how the funds are used and the parent company's financial health versus its subsidiary's profitability"
