Finity's End 04 - Sam Jones [HQ]

[@d.b.624]

One of the songs that transcends filk. No idea what the original story was, but the beauty of the story shines through.

[@SongsfromtheStars]

I believe it was based on the book Downbelow Station, but it works great on its own too.

[@barragethree5047]

This album is based off of C.J. Cherryh's Alliance-Union anthology series. While most of the songs from this album are based off of books or the characters therein, this song was written by Cherryh as its own self-contained story.

@@barragethree5047 so this song is entirely an original story?

[@barragethree5047]

@@willparry530 correct. Written by C. J. Cherryh herself

I loved the fic! It’s a really nice continuation of the story. Thank you for turning it into a happy ending

[@Some_Really_Random_Dude.]

This one still makes me emotional. I've listened to it a couple dozen times over the course of a few years and it still gets to me every time.

[@TheApprentice225]

Then I'll join you in turning down a glass in honor of old half-blind Kate, and young Sam Jones, my friend.

[@willparry530]

Same, my friend, same for me.

[@annalorree]

I’ve loved this song since I first encountered it around 1993.

[@Dandelion_Stitches]

Gets me every time I listen.

[@BSOE3058]

oh, the good stuff
Superb quality

[@Rocketsong]

One of the very few songs where Cherryh wrote the tune as well as the words.

[@peterwall8191]

Tears me up every damn time!

[@mewseht1477]

This was one of my favorite filk songs, and I'm so glad to hear such a high quality version. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

[@HM2SGT]

This is one of the very best

"It's outside work, we can't fix that from here,
And to pull that thing with an high-V charge is the job for the engineer."
Never fails to stab me in the heart

[@colecullen7454]

I love this song, I just can’t decide which recording of it I prefer

[@spacecorpse3212]

Huston i think there's some perception on my visor

[@danielmcgillis270]

I just found the background music for my Traveler RPG game. Thank you.

[@jazzk4072]
