I think a major issue I ran into is that it felt dishonest (or, like, appropriative?) to write a song about “The Dreamtime” that wasn’t Hansonianly cynical, and… I dunno I’m just not Hansonianly cynical.
The central metaphor of “child asking mother for song” also just felt sort of weird because the implied Em-World people just… probably wouldn’t do that sort of thing.
It occurs to me that if one was to write the song anyway, it could either be set in a Billions/Trillions Year stable state, or it could be set just as the universe winds down, while Fades at Last the Last Lit Sun.
Also, another major issue I ran into was “well, no one commented on it and I lost motivation.” :P Although maybe that part can be fixed now.

Maybe that’s fine? Dunno.
