The Story of The Twilight Hours
Experience eternity in a single song!
A beautiful name, The Twilight Hours. And the music is ravishing.
But who are these two men from Minneapolis? Can the hearts of John Munson and Matt Wilson be as pure as these songs we hear?
No. These are two practical and desperate gentlemen who have scrubbed around in the underbrush of music long enough to have touched glory and to have been gored by humiliation. Imagine the most moldy dressing room inside the loneliest bar. Now imagine two middle-aged men on a vinyl couch, crying in their underwear. There have been some sad moments.
Three decades ago, like proud and powerful young rodents, Munson and Wilson set about digging at the roots of a golden shrubbery called Music. They scratched the dirt for money and glory they thought might be buried underneath. Meanwhile, as they gouged their holes, time and wind killed the plant. Now, decades later, they raise their brown heads to see that the bush is dead! And there is no treasure! What else can the two rodents do, but return to their digging? They are The Twilight Hours.
And yet, weirdly – impossibly – the recordings that Munson and Wilson have patched together possess the power to build a green and complete universe inside your mind. How can two such degraded men create a sonic landscape of endless moisture and springtime. How?
How are insects made? Who teaches the birds to fly? Musicologists can explain the science behind Munson’s booming bass technique. Divinity students can guess as to the source of magic lies behind Wilson’s poetry. But here we are, in the flickering twilight of their time on earth, and their music is definitive, true and alive.
Still, you have questions. You need to hear the details of their broken lives – the scamming for money, the orchestras they’ve assembled and discarded. Maybe, if you gained some biographical context, you could decode the music: you could understand the songs as machines, rather than as incantations. Because when a work of unspeakable religious majesty such as “Stereo Night” looms directly above us like a tree that can touch the clouds – and then rise through them into heaven – isn’t it our duty is to dissect the tree? If The Twilight Hours present us with a plant whose fruit can give eternal life, isn’t it our job to study the fruit? To break it down and understand?
Eat! Eat the fruit. Stop questioning, and live forever! Bite down and experience eternity in a single song!
Those of you who fear magic, continue with your questions. Learn more history. Study the science of things that are dead.
And for those of you who are ready to fly up to the sun: here are The Twilight Hours.
Forgot Me Now
The Twilight Hours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moving through my world, you've got it now
Two years precisely to the fall
There is ice along the wall
You forgot me now
How to criticize, you taught me how
With your pretty eyes watching down
You are the teacher in the hall
You forgot me now
Second semester of the class
And you had to let me pass
Move across my path in Boston now
And you had to laugh, it'll cost you now
Here is my chance to make you crawl
But the problem with it all
I've forgotten how
The Twilight Hours's song Forgot Me Now explores the themes of personal growth, relationships, and the challenges that come with growing apart from someone. The lyrics delve into the shifting dynamic between two people who were once in a close relationship. The first verse speaks of teaching someone how to be a girl, indicating a relationship with some level of intimacy. The metaphorical language in the line "Moving through my world, you've got it now" suggests that the recipient of the teaching has gained the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate their world independently.
The second verse takes on a more introspective tone, with the singer reflecting on how the other person has become the teacher in the relationship. They are stuck in a position of facing the wall, representing a feeling of inferiority or being out of their depth. The line "you forgot me now" is repeated in both verses, indicating that the two people have grown apart and the intimacy and closeness that once existed has dissipated.
The chorus speaks of a chance at revenge - "Here is my chance to make you crawl" - but the singer has forgotten how. This indicates that the person has moved on and grown past the desire for retaliation or holding a grudge. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singers have grown and changed in opposite directions, leaving one person feeling left behind.

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're starin' at the phone in your lap
And you hopin' but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel in the sand
What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
So airplane, airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that, then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Yeah, yeah, somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah, back when I was tryna get a tip at Subway
And back then I was rappin' for the hell of it
But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes out of airplanes
Then maybe, oh maybe, I'll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mixtape
And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for Decatur, what's up Bobby Ray?
So can I get a wish to end the politics?
And get back to the music that started this shit
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
I could really use a wish right now
I, I, I could really use a wish right now
Like, like, like shootin' stars
I, I, I could, I could really use a wish right now
A wish, a wish right now
Oh wait no, wrong animatic

What's even sadder is that Sunset Shimmer won't become immortal because she isn't a princess. Rip...

In my personal headcanon, creatures from Equestria when they cross into the human world don't age when they are there, same vice versa. That would explain how she was around at CHS when the mane 6 were freshmen, yet she appears their age when they are seniors (or whatever they are in the series idfk). So if Twilight was still alive, say in G5 for example, maybe Sunset is still living in the Human world? Perhaps hiding to try and keep magic and her strange youth a secret?

that's right
