I don’t the original context needs to be abandoned completely either. It can be appropriated to tell the story of a hypothetical hominid who was the first one to develop some level of abstract reasoning.
The more I think about it the more frustrated I am by the song’s medium difficulty level. It’s just well known enough that changing some of the meter around could mess up the people who DO know it. (There were slight problems with appropriating and simplifiying the song “No One is Alone” from Into the Woods, for the same reason)
when you did the ritual, did you just sing all the songs or did you play music alongside it? Some of them (singularity, for instance) seem sort of like they would need the music to be sung.
I never thought about it like that because it’s about a specific dude in the context of the movie, but wow. That is a suitable song.
