This song, shown being played during Chell's adventure through the 1940-60's Aperture Science.
I'd like to see what you guys can come up with, with this song, story wise... Meaning, who is singing and why is it sung? :biggrin.gif: I'm not sure if there's an official sotry behind it anywhere, but, I feel like reading creative things...
(Please, no storyline arguments... I want these to be clean perspectives, not fact vs. fact.)
Here's my go on it:
Chell, the daughter of Science. Chell, the daughter of Caroline and Science, or who we know as Cave, Cave Johnson. Every night, Caroline would sing this cheerful lullaby to Chell, consisting of no words, just voice... The song came directly from Caroline's soul, and had always touched Chell's heart. As things grew dim for Aperture, the lullaby's stopped, and unfortunately, the work built up. It went from a happy place of dreams to a overworked space of darkness. Chell had missed her Mother's lullabys, but nothing could draw back the happiness that once was... All seemed dead.
Years had passed, Chell's father had passed, and the new Stasis Chambers were created, and she was sealed away, and she thought, "forever?" All signs of family went lost, and Chell never spoke again, because really, she couldn't find anyone to talk to the next time she woke up... Her memories of her mother and the lullaby became as twisted as the facility. A test-crazy AI looking to kill her, small confined, deadly rooms. It was a warehouse of death to her, and yet, there was still nobody she thought she could talk to. The memories still grew more twisted, and at the moment she found herself in the condemned facility, her mind went blank... The only song she hears is the demented, twisted, parallel of the lullaby she once heard...
Is the song that Caroline sang was the turret operahs one...?
cara bel, cara mia bella!
Mia bambina, oh ciel (Chell)!
