The Life is Strange Blues.

 

Author's note the following is a love letter to the life is strange computer game franchise

 Sitting at my computer
The work day is through 
My mind is wondering
I don't know what to do
then an idea strikes me
right out of the blue
Don't want a shooter
Or fighting RPG

No, Those popular titles
Are not engaging to me
I am craving something more intimate
With a well written narrative
Where I can be a superpowered teen
Yes, an everyday Hero kind of kid
Now my mind
Goes back
Yeah the year
Is 2015
When a truly memorable advert
Appears on my screen
Well in just one click I'm 
In Blackwell's High School halls
 
Asking Mr Jefferson
To excuse me
When Nature Calls
On entering the bathroom
Man I get an awful fright
Then putting out my hand
I know it will be all right
When the adventure is over
I have the
Life Is Strange blues
Cause no other game has
affected me quite the way you do
 
Three years later,
 the game makers are back

Two brothers on the road 
no chance of going back
Telling stories about a wolf pack
travelling down south to Mexico
 
When the adventure is over
I have the Life Is Strange blues
Cause no other game has
affected me quite the way you do
And then we are in lock down
September of '21,
Everyone is in their houses
It's really not much fun
But in front of my computer
I meet a girl named Alex Chen
Who has not seen her brother
Since god knows when
But then an accident
In her home town
Turns life upside down,
Yes it spins her
all the way round
Then a bonus story
Where you're a DJ in a Booth
Which is a job
I've always wanted
And that's the honest truth
When the adventure is over
I have the Life is Strange blues
Cause no other game has
affected me quite the way you do
The next game
held something new
Why limit yourself 
To one timeline
When you can travel
Between two 
When the adventure is over
I have the Life is Strange blues
Cause no other game has
affected me quite the way you do
Now we are in the present.
A reunion on track
Max and Chloe are 
finally back
trying to save everyone
From a fiery attack
Max needs her best friend
To get her through
Why investigate with just one
When you can solve the mystery
With two 
When shutting down my computer
I have the Life Is Strange blues
Cause no other franchise will ever affect me 
In all the ways you do.
Cause no other franchise will ever affect me 
In all the ways you do.
