Why do people hate Beneath a Moonless Sky?
Every time this song gets brought up in the phandom people call it cringe and fanfic-y, but in all honesty I think it’s the prettiest song in LND. The lyrics are very tasteful and chaste considering it’s a song about having sex, the choreography is simple yet expressive, the orchestration is beautiful, and it fills my heart as an E/C truther (even if LND as a whole does not).
Is it melodramatic? Yes, very, but so are most of the songs, even in the original musical. And I feel like if any experience lends itself to dramatics and exaggeration, it would be your first time doing it with a person you’re deeply in love with (especially in Erik’s case).
So in conclusion, this song goes hard and I will die on that hill.
