This is true. However the “killing frost” should have only killed the tomatoes and not a woman and a full grown horse.
Deadhorse, Alaska – I will drive to there one day. It’s only 3,500 miles from home.

When I go, I’ll have to be wary of any killing frost. At least I won’t have to pass through Nebraska. 
The suppressed the verse with Death of Horses.
NEIGH. COME WITH ME.
Ooops. Wrong thread!
Had to stop by and see in case it wasn’t about a horse. I don’t know why I thought it was about a horse, I don’t think I’ve heard the entire song, all I know is the refrain with one long drawn out name.
And the thread called Wiiiiiiildfiiiiiiiire!
Wiiii, ii, iiii, ii, Wildfire…
I imagine if you were a farmer, a killing frost would be a pretty devasting event, one that would bring on a year or more of hard times. And maybe if you died in a blizzard during those hard times, your ghost might come to other farmers during their hard times. Or something . Or maybe it just rhymed with “lost”.
I like the song, the “killing frost” lyric is a little weak but aside from that it has a eerie western vibe. But I like MMM.
I only have this to add to the thread: about a week ago I was on the local bus heading to the Metro. The gentleman next to me was mostly mumbling to himself, but would occasionally lean across the aisle to the women sitting there and say things about the government wanting to steal his social security number and other nonsensical things. We, being experienced commuters, ignored him. But all of a sudden he leaned over to me and, clear as a bell, said “The horse named WILDFIRE.” I came thisclose to laughing, he was so sincere about it.
Amusing that this thread was revived.
Killing Frost should be an 8th level Druid spell. Take one damage every round for 12 hours. Damage cannot be prevented by fire, Wild or otherwise.
Were you intending to post to a different thread on “killing frost” killing tomatoes, women and horses?
Nope. It was a post about The Big Bang Theory in the wrong thread.
Just keep the piano intro and outro, you can cut from the other parts of the song.
I like the song, and it’s been an earworm these last couple of days. The piano parts, not Wiiiiiiiiillldddfffiiiiiiiirrre.

(after another listen) Hey Bob, on second thought, I change my mind. I don’t want you cutting any part of it. It’s perfect as it is.
On the other hand, there should totally be a low-level “wildfire” spell that doesn’t take many magic points, and mostly just causes a loss of a turn while the hit character wanders around in a daze-- advantage is that you can hit a group at once. It can be blocked nearly 100% by the “killing frost” spell, but that one requires more MP.
An “earworm” spell might be kinda cool. All the character can hear in their head is a song, and can’t perform any incantations, so a magic-user can only hit with a weapon until taking the hard-to-find “anti-earworm herb,” or undergoing a full heal.
I’ve always loved the story’s imaginary in Wildfire. It can mean a lot of different things depending on your mood and perspective.
There’s an abstractness that I appreciate. It’s like the great impressionists paintings. You think you understand the imaginary of a Renoir or Monet’s water lilies but there’s much more there than a group of people at a luncheon or a bridge and flowers. You feel something when you look at those paintings. It’s like your drawn into that moment in time.
Wildfire has that same ethereal feeling. There’s more to the story than is being told. You want to find that woman and get her back safely home.
This song always reminds me of the time I lived in Taos. MMM lived there too. We took our kids to school at the same time. He always showed up in full regalia - fringed leather jacket, tons of turquoise jewelry and a fancy hat. To drop his kid off at school!
I saw him a few times at the video store too. Same thing. Dick.
Maybe she was killed by Killian Frost, local cattle baron trying to drive them off their land so he can make a fortune when the railroad goes through?
And why does she turn into some sort of Angle of Death, coming to collect the narrator of the song? It didn’t even sound like they were particularly close when she was alive, as he always talks about her in third person. i.e. “they say she died…”
Yep, they don’t know each other. But he wants to escape “sodbustin” and these “hard times”. I don’t think she is the angel of death, but death got her already and she’s on that mystical horse. He’s mesmerized by her, and he wants to ride away together with her to rise above the hard times.
On Wiiiiiiiillldddfffiiiiiiiirrrrre.
I just sing the songs, I dont care if it makes sense.
Now what is the Horse with no name about?? Love both songs!!
