Description Life is a never ending show
A twisting turning 
Ever bending show
The audience is
Everyone you know
Leave them with a smile
When you go

You can bet
That you're a star
So don't forget
How fun you are
Get up there
And give it your all
And don't stop dancing
Until the curtains fall

Today's the day
You've got the spark
So find the way
To make your mark
And get your tiny name
On that wall

So don't stop dancing
Don't stop spinning
Grief consumes you
But you just keep grinning
The ache becomes you
And it's just beginning
Don't stop dancing

Nothing's certain
But the curtain


Don't Stop Dancing Till The Curtains Fall - Elijah Aron/Jesse Novak


 


Background - Ilona's Into the Dark



Of course, if that song's too sad and dark for you, you're also welcome to imagine that Usher is dancing to this one instead .  The guy just likes dancing, okay?


If you'd like to learn more about my original character Usher Ferryman, you can read about him or look at more pictures of him in his gallery !

I would love to imagine Usher as the Mad Hatter!  That's such a cute idea! Alice (or Tasukra?) in Reapersland gave me such a smile!

Usher: Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Salem: Um... I don't know. Why?
Usher: Why? That's the question everyone always asks, Little One. I can remember being asked that very thing myself after I swallowed my Mother's thimble. I'd torn my pants hopping over the fence to steal back my boots from an ill-mannered neighbor! Such a rapscallion he was, always making off with things that didn't belong to him. I can remember the day he stole a silver plate and three potatoes! The theft of a single potato is rudeness, but to take three? So unnecessary! I allowed him to get away with many a pilferage because I hadn't the time to tail him around the swamp. But the day he took the boots off my feet, Usher decided that he had had enough! So, Sweetling, what is an irate man to do? Well, I went after him and he leapt over the fence like an excited chipmunk! Although Usher is strikingly handsome and devilishly clever, I am not so good at jumping. And so the pants were torn, you see? Kind Mother was going to repair them, and as I watched, I wondered, what if I took to sleepwalking in the night and accidentally swallowed a sewing needle? The very insides of me would be pricked! Horror! The only way for old Usher to protect himself from such a fate was surely to swallow the thimble! My Mother, perceptive woman that she was, noticed my sudden bout of pica, and inquired the reason for my actions. So what do you think I said to her, my Little?
Salem: ... what?
Usher: I haven't the slightest idea!

He's welcome to dance to anything he jolly well pleases, all handsome and mysterious and a little bit macabre-looking as he is!

Thank you very much, Wormwood!  Usher would blush if he read your kind compliments!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Alvacon! I'm so happy to know that you liked Usher, he has been one of my favorite characters to design. I think your description of a juicy orange would make his mouth water.

The Reapers definitely love to listen to Rob Zombie music , it suits them really well!

Maybe Usher can sweep you off your feet with a kiss instead of a dance?

Very nice, Luka. Usher is a doll baby for sure. Might add till the Fat Lady sings too. LOL One thing about it time waits for no one. And you sure can't hold it back. Usher's just fine dancing to me. If I were there I'd be dancing with him. Kudos, Sweetie.

You're so welcome, Sweetie. I'd probably melt in his arms rather than dance. LOL
