```

```
Sometimes it's not enough

```
Secret pictures in my mind

```

```
(It doesn't matter anyway)

```

```
Keep your story tied to mine

```

```
'Cause you called me your heart

```

```
'Cause you called me your heart

```

```
Still your fingers trace my spine

```

```
In my dreams they come alive

When you loved me I'd run

```

```
Love is like a radio song

```

```
(It doesn't matter anyway)

```

```
Love will pop this bubblegum

```

```
(It doesn't matter anyway)

```

```
'Cause you're mine then you're gone

```

```
This love's overplayed, typical

```

```
As predictable as rhyme

```

```
We were destined to backfire

```

```
'Cause you called me your heart

```

```
When you loved me I'd run

```
Love is like a radio song

Love will pop this bubblegum

```

```
(It doesn't matter anyway)

'Cause you're mine then you're gone

This love's overplayed, typical

```

```
Tonight I'll fight it all

```

```
(Oh)

```

```
Red hearts against the wall

```

```
(Oh)

```

```
Like a burn in the night

```

```
Conquers the dark

```

```
Know that I'll never run

```

```
Love is like a radio song

```

```
(VOC POP will pop this bubblegum stop and listen to the VOC POP)

```

```
Love will pop this bubblegum

```

This love's overplayed, typical

Бонку

* В игре
* В прологе
* Карта

**Бонку** главный герой в *Forgotton Anne*. Он забывчик и тоталитарный правитель Забытых земель, узурпировавший власть у первоначального правителя, Хранительницы.

## Внешность

Бонку выглядит как мужчина средних лет. У него длинные светлые волосы и борода. Он одет в белую рубашку, красный жилет и коричневые брюки. Иногда Бонку носит зелёный плащ, хотя и не всегда. На правой руке Бонку носит перчатку с устройством Арка, в левом кармане жилета часы на цепочке. Бонку всегда носит с собой трость.

## Личность

Когда-то Бонку был изобретателем в мире людей, известном как Эфир, но теперь он тоталитарный правитель забытых земель. Он намерен вырваться из забытых земель и снова стать забытым (?). Хотя некоторые преданы ему, Бонку считает всех забывчиков простым средством достижения цели. Несмотря на это, Бонку, похоже, глубоко заботится об Энн, воспитывая её с младенчества и желая, чтобы её помнили, как и его самого.

## История

Предположительно в эфире заведовал часовой мастерской, исходя из того, что все изобретения Бонку механические, но ввиду электроники, его услуги перестали быть нужными, и его забыли. Прибыв в забытые земли, он был одним из тех, кто обнаружил Хранительницу. К тому моменту, он обнаружил Энн в ящике на побережье. Позже изучив мир забытых земель и найдя способ вернуться, он спёр сердце Забытых земель и скрыл существование Хранительницы за механизмами где-то в песках, изобрёл устройство АРКА, Крылья, Эфирный мост и ряд других механизмов.

## Сюжет

На протяжении всей игры сидит в башне и доделывает Эфирный мост, печётся об Энн, но и не ограничивает её в свободе действий, исходя из различных диалогов по зеркалу.

## Дневник

> 17 сентября
>
>
>
> Сегодня произошло нечто восхитительное. Впервые за три с лишним года! Ко мне явился дворецкий Джона Томаса Гарфилда и заказал настенные ходики для особняка своего господина.
> Уже начал думать над чертежом. Поставлю пружину на 15 дней работы без подзавода. В средней секции — маятник длиной 32-34 дюйма. Понадобится довольно увесистая гиря...
>
> ---
>
> Рабочая амплитуда — думаю, около 10 дюймов. Наверху сделаю лунный календарь, а корпус будет из цельного массива вишневого дерева. Дверцу закажу у стекольщика на моей улице — если он еще не прикрыл лавочку.
>
>
>
> Этот заказ может спасти мое дело. Не могу больше ждать: хватить строчить, пора творить!
>
>
> Бонку

## Факты

* Бонку и Энн, похоже, единственные человеческие забывчики в Забытых землях.
* Бонку не единственный изобретатель

## Отношения

* Бонку заботится об Энн как о собственной дочери
* Бонку считает Хранительницу ведьмой

The End is the beginning,

I’ll hide and you’ll chase

```

Around us, the world’s grown up

```

```
We’re staying up late always

```

```
Yeah we’re still running round the house

```

```
Finding ghosts in the basement

```

```
And places to hide with you

```

```
Hideaway

```

```
You want it like yesterday

```

```
I’m just a little bit old just a little bit cold

```

```
But I still want you close

```

```
Hideaway

```

```
You want it like yesterday

```

```
I’m just a little bit old just a little bit cold

```

```
But I still want you close

```

```
Sometimes I’m frozen in place

```

```
Now and then I’m frightened by the dark

```

```
Creepy stairs in the hallway

```

```
Around me, the world’s grown up

```

```
You’re still the same in all the good ways

```

```
Yeah you still whistle when you laugh

```

```
Crooked smile turns me sideways

```

```
I tumble through time with you

```

```
Hideaway

```

```
You want it like yesterday

```

```
I’m just a little bit old just a little bit cold

```

```
But I still want you close

Oh Hell

**"Oh Hell"** is a song by Magdalena Bay. It was released on December 12, 2019 as the fourth single from their third EP *A Little Rhythm and a Wicked Feeling.*

## Composition

"Oh Hell" is composed in the key of D♭ major. The song's tempo is 120 beats per minute; in common time.

The track pulls inspiration *“from teenage infatuation to explore the toxic, all-consuming side of young love that leads people to neglect their own identity and live entirely for someone else.”* - Magdalena Bay, press release

*"‘Oh Hell’ is about young love and how misguided it can be. My first relationship experiences growing up were super toxic, but I went along with them because of a vague notion that love is supposed to be dark and complicated. We wrote quite creepy and dark lyrics that work against the light, dreamy airiness of the song*.” - Mica Tenenbaum

## Live Performances

There is no record of the song being performed live.

## Lyrics

```
Oh hell

```

```
I feel your breathing in my bedroom when I’m by myself

```

```
Oh well

I see you walking from a mile away

```

```
I try to change my pace I’m trying to hide my face

```

```

```

```
The way you kill I cannot complain

```

```
You’ve got me questioning the benefits of love, love, love

```

```
You know it’s fine but you can’t believe

I’m in your mind yeah it’s hard to see it

You know it’s fine but you can’t believe

You’ve got me questioning the benefits of love love love (harmonies)

You’re taking over

I guess you’ll rearrange my heart, you’ll rearrange my heart

```

Oh hell

I feel your breathing in my bedroom when I’m by myself

Oh well

Another day, oh hell

## Trivia

The Cecile Believe remix marks the first time a guest vocalist has appeared on a Magdalena Bay song.

## Tehnical Info

### Key

E minor

## Composition

Sky2Fall

**"Sky2Fall"** is a song by Magdalena Bay. It was released on October 29, 2020 as the fourth single on their second mixtape *mini mix, vol. 2.*

## Composition

"Sky2Fall" is composed in the key of A minor (verses) and C minor (choruses). The song's tempo is 116 beats per minute; in common time.

It was composed, recorded and produced almost entirely during a livestream on August 9, 2020. It was the final song to be recorded for *mini mix, vol. 2.*

*"We heard the Kylie Minogue & Tove Lo ("Really don't like u") song and we were like "let's just make a beat like that"! That was interesting because we had the specific goal of writing a song within a few hours. It was very quick, it was more like how we would write if we were doing a writing session. That was cool because we were kind of stuck at the time; we had just written the album and then we wrote minis, so I think we were really drained. That was some inspiration we really needed, to be on a time crunch with people watching us." -* Magdalena Bay, livestream

Most of the drum sounds come from the Oliver: Power Tools Sample Pack.

## Live Performances

The song's debut live performance was during a live stream on November 21, 2020.

## Lyrics

```
This is how the party looks at sunrise

```

```
This is how it feels when summer’s eulogized

```

```
When I need the rain there’s sun

```

```
When I wanna cry I don’t

```

```
It’s time to have some fun

```

```
In my dreams I’m heavy when I try to run

```

```
Lightning flash I can’t see what I’m running from

```

```
Cuando quiero lluvia hay sol

```

```
Cuando sueño estoy sin voz

```

```
It’s time to have some fun

```

```
I don’t want the sky to fall

```

```
But if it does

```

```
If the stars burn out then

```

```
I’ll catch you through it all

```

```
I don’t want our time to stop

```

```
But if it does

```

```
If the clock runs out then

```

```
I’ve seen it all

```

```
This is how we understand that time flows

```

```
This is how we make amends with what we know

```

```
Cuando quiero lluvia hay sol

```

```
Cuando sueño estoy sin voz

```

```
It’s time to have some fun

```

```
I don’t want the sky to fall

```

```
But if it does

```

```
If the stars burn out then

```

```
I’ll catch you through it all

I don’t want our time to stop

But if it does

```

```
If the clock runs out then

I’ve seen it all

It actually began as a very different song that we took apart and built up again over several months. We were really inspired by the song’s chords and energy all along– it just took some reimagining of the melody and production to bring it to a place that did it justice."* - Magdalena Bay, Analogue Trash

*"Move Slow is probably the song we had most trouble with. We re-did the melody and production a few times before we settled on the disco vibes." -* Magdalena Bay, Popheads Discord AMA

Flying overhead, you take control

```

```
You’re dreaming in silver and gold

```

```
And in my head the turbulence grows

```

```
I’m fighting it, I’m taking it slow

```

```
I’m breathing, I’m feeding my soul

```

```
And overhead our distance it grows

```

```
I watch you go

```

```
Oh no, you’re living in the fast lane

```

```
Hold on, your life’s taking off but your

```

```
Heart breaks

```

```
I know you’ll catch your airplane

```

```
(Again and again)

```

```
Oh no, you’re bending over backwards

```

```
Hold on, your life’s taking off but your

```

```
Heart breaks

```

```
I know you’ll catch your airplane

```

```
(Again and again)

```

```
Your frantic life, it gets me

```

```
It gets in under my skin

```

```
Like a cannonball I’m fighting the flow

```

```
I’ve learned to follow in your strides

```

```
A little longer and I’ll fit

```

```
I’ll fit better in your lines

```

```
And when I fill em in

```

```
I’ll feel it overflow

```

```
Oh no, you’re living in the fast lane

```

```
Hold on, you’re life’s taking off but your

```

```
Heart breaks

```
I know you’ll catch your airplane

```

```
I’ve got this feeling

```

```
Then again I’m dreaming

```

```
You know I’m looking for something

```

```
You know I’m on my own

```

```
(I don’t wanna sound stupid)

```

```
You know I’m fine alone

```

```
(But I’m feeling alright!)

```

```
You know I’m taking off on my own, oh

```

```
(I guess I’ve never been an optimist before)

```

```
And when I feel the wind, I won’t look back no more

```

```
Oh no, you’re living in the fast lane

```

```
Hold on, you’re life’s taking off but your

```

```
Heart breaks

## Trivia

The instrumental was produced by Matt on an airplane.

Mica said in a YouTube Q&A that this song was the toughest on her vocals.
Follow the Leader

**"Follow the Leader"** is a song by Magdalena Bay. It was released on October 8, 2021 as the eleventh track on their debut album *Mercurial World.*

## Composition

"Follow the Leader" is composed in the key of C minor. The song's tempo is 80 beats per minute; in common time.

The song's distinctive vocal effects were achieved by imitating a vocaloid, together with autotune and bitcrusher.

*"Matt had this instrumental, and the melody I wrote over it just wasn’t working. So we tried to be a little experimental. We were watching all of those Hatsune Miku compilations on YouTube—another pandemic rabbit hole. If I taught school, I would make it mandatory to have at least one hour a day of getting lost on the internet. It’s good for young brains' development."* - Mica Tenenbaum, Pitchfork

*"We tried to buy a vocaloid, but it was pretty expensive, like $300. So Mica just imitated a vocaloid with her mouth, and then I put some effects on it. There’s something about the uncanny valley thing that’s very appealing to us, like when you see a puppet that looks very human but is not quite there. It’s very creepy."* - Matt Lewin, Pitchfork

*"It's like a nod to our more synthwave-inspired past, but making that weirder. I think it ushers in the vibe of the last few songs [on the album], that shift from the dreamier, lighter vibes to the darker vibes."* - Mica Tenenbaum, livestream

## Live Performances

The song's debut live performance was at El Cid in Los Angeles on October 8, 2021. It was performed on every stop of *The Mercurial Tour.*

It was performed during a livestream on November 16, 2021.

Regrets

```

```
The things I should’ve said

```

```
Was I a bad friend?

```

```
It was only that bad with you

```

```
I’m sorry

```

```
Did you feel lonely?

```

```
I didn’t realize back then

```

```
It was really that bad for you

```

```
September started sweet

```

```
Then winter got so mean

```

```
The fruit left on my sheets

```

```
If I could do it all again I would’ve said:

```

```
Chaeri, please

```

```
You’re killing me

```

```
It’s only that bad, it’s only that bad

```

```
If you tell yourself you’ll never get out of bed

```

```
Forget

```

```
The way things could’ve been

```

```
Did I learn anything?

```

```
It was only that bad with you

```

```
September like a dream

```

```
But winter got so mean

```

```
The storm was underneath

```

```
If I could do it all again I would’ve said:

```

```
Chaeri, please

```

```
You’re killing me

```

```
It’s only that bad, it’s only that bad

```

```
If you tell yourself you’ll never get out of bed

```

```
3, 4, down to the floor

```

```
Lose control

```

```
Little more

```

```
3, 4, down to the floor

```

```
Lose control

```

```
Little more

```

```
Let it come alive

```

```
Let it grow

```

```
Better crucified

```

```
Than alone

```

```
Let it come alive

```

```
Let it grow

```

```
Better cut and dried

```

```
Than unknown

```

Pooling around my feet

```

```
Hold your breath and don’t speak

```

```
Witnesses and zombies

```

```
And the way they glare as empty as an

```

```
Answering machine, no one to hear your dreams

```

```
Na you don’t bother me I’m like electricity

```

```
They say I’m dancing with my demons

```

```
This is the Dawning of the Season

```

```
Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers

```

```
This is the Dawning of the Season

```

```
What you heard about me?

```

```
I see fire when I sleep

```

```
I can disappear like drops of water

```

```
Trembling in the heat

```

```
No you won’t see me

```

```
Na you don’t bother me I’m like electricity

```

```
They say I’m dancing with my demons

```

```
This is the Dawning of the Season

```

```
Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers

```

```
This is the Dawning of the Season

```

```
Will we change? Will I be?

```

```
Adolescent dreams

```

```
Will we change? Will I be?

```

```
Adolescent thieves

```

```
They say I’m dancing with my demons

```

```
This is the Dawning of the Season

```

```
Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers

```

```
This is the Dawning of the Season
