Let Us Begin!!! I know I have a lot of time on my hands. And leave Comments to tell me what you think. I will respond back. (
)(Note: The Dear Hunter: Why its named that is according to Casey, When The Boy was very little he used to catch little animals and show them to his mom Ms. Terri and she would always be like. "Your my little Dear Hunter.")
(Note: The Tree: According to Casey: The Tree is a Metaphor for The Boy also his "father figure." When The Boy was Young he would always try to pass the tree (Border to The Lake and The River.) But never did. The Boy was in fear of The Tree but also fascinated by it.)
(Note: Casey did not tell me everything he does not like to tell too much of the story lol.)
Act I: The Lake South, The River North
[/center] 1.) Battesimo Del Fuoco: This song since I refer to it as a "Rock Opera." Is pratically is the Intro or Prologue to the Story. It pratically explains the Birth of a man all the way to his unfortunate death.
2.) The Lake South: Purely Instrumental. I like to think of it as The Lake in the city The Lake and The River. And if you want The Dear Hunter to be an Opera. It could be after the Battesimo Del Fuoco finishes. The Curtains open up.
3.) City Escape: What really starts off the story, It is about a girl by the name of Ms. Terri trying to escape a bad city only referred to as "The City." And is getting chased by unknown people. (Later found out in the storyline I'm typing.) Almost being beaten to near death she escapes The City, takes a train called The Delphi Express to a place known as "The Lake and The River."
4.) The Inquiry of Ms. Terri: In this song, you discover Ms. Terri was pregnant. And while on the train she questions herself. If what she is doing is "the right thing." Giving up her "Career" for a child. (Note: The Father is unknown.) Also you find out Ms. Terri was a prostitute. (Note: Foreshadows Act II: Look carefully it says "I'll teach you how to treat that Leading Lady that you'll meet. (Ms. Leading.)) Also in this song Ms. Terii gives Birth to The Boy. The Boy does not have a name.
5.) 1878: I like to think that the story takes place in the year "1878" Anyway, Ms. Terri raising The Boy.
6.) The Pimp and The Priest: Back in The City; You discover who is the antagonist is in the first two Acts. You see, he is a priest that runs a church during the day. But at night, The Priest runs a brothel (Whore House.) known as "The Dime." And the priest changes from a Priest to a Pimp. (Hence The Name the Pimp and The Priest.) (Side Note: He is one person.) Here you discover that Ms. Terri was a Prostitute and got pregnant, she decided that The City was a bad place to raise a kid and wanted to have a simple life. She tried escaping but The Pimp does not allow anyone to quit The Dime. And also the concept of The Dime. (Thus sended his minions in City Escape.)
7.) His Hands Matched His Tongue: Here is in The Lake and The River, Ms. Terri is raising The Boy. In his young teenage years. And telling him to do good in his life and all that. Ms. Terri did not teach him of the bad things in life. (The City.)
8.) The River North: Again Instrumental and you can clearly see that it is kind of old. And takes place somewhere. It can be an Intermission (A break.) to The Dear Hunter Opera or if you want storywise, Years Passing by for Ms. Terri and The Boy.
Done With Act I!!! Hopefully you liked it! ()
Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading

2.) The Procession: The Boy sees Ms. Terri's funeral after learning about her death. The Boy wept tears and then starts walking back home. But no, he does not go home. He passes it...
3.) The Lake and the River: (Favorite Song!!!) In this part of the story. The Boy decides that he wants to learn more of his mother's life. He then gets (Steals) a train ticket to The Delphi Express. Before he leaves. He looks at The Tree one last time and gets the courage to pass it. He then boards the trian. (Hence the last part of the song.) (Note: The people singing in the last part is probably the people who work in the Delphi Express. Maybe The Oracles???)
4.) The Oracles on the Delphi Express: Here in this song. During the train ride. The Boy encounters a group of Oracles. He has a talk with them and The Oracles fortell his life and what will happen to him. They warn him that his unfortunate luck begins with The City. And they warn him to go back to The Lake and The River for The City is a bad place and all. The Boy ignores there warning and then arrives in The City.
5.) The Church and The Dime: This song is a tricky one. Anyway. The Delphi Express enters the city. And this is more of The Concept of The Dime. (Probably through Ms. Leading's eyes.) As you can tell not everything is not what it seems. (Church can be a Whore House.) The song is also the concept of The City. At the end of the song it foretells what will become of The Dime. Who knows maybe The Oracles foretell the destruction of The Dime.

(Church Ceremony.) The Boy then leaves The Dime and finds out he is in love with Ms. Leading.
9.) Evicted: Here Ms. Leading discovers she is in Love with The Boy. And finds is the concept of The Boy thru Ms. Leading's eyes.
10.) Blood of the Rose: This song is also tricky. But here I go! In this song, It foretells what will happen between Ms. Leading and The Boy. So in love, The Boy tries to meet Ms. Leading again. He sneaks back into The Dime and enters Ms. Leadings room...

15.) Vital Vessle Vindicates: The Boy seeing that there is no reason for him to stay in The City (He already found out Ms. Terri's past.) and knowing what it did to him, he takes a ship.

The Boy not knowing his troubles have just started.

(Note: This is the basic shell of each song, and I plan to add more at a later date as I learn more from each song by listening more and asking Casey about it.)

Act III: Was suppose to be named; Act III: There will be blood.
In The Lake and The River there are secret lyrics (Here carefully) I know one of them states: "And I counted all the explosives."
The War for Act III: Is World War I
The Boy could be French or Latin (Possibly)
Act IV: Is going to be an EP.
Act V and VI: is going to be Full Length.
There will be Acts I-VI (1-6)
That is all I know.
I hope I cleared many things up on The Storyline. If you read it I'm deeply happy. Thankyou. *Bows*
I will type Act IV when it comes out.
The Name Is Brian and I am glad people read this. (
