| 1 | The Arcturus Railway Society is a [=YouTube=] channel started by singer-songwriter Tropers/{{V-Alighieri}}. On it, he (inconsistently) posts his compositions and covers. |

| 3 | While the channel currently only features piano/voice songs, Tony plans to start a band in the near future. |

| 7 | !!The following tropes apply to Alkali Earth Metal: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * {{ACappella}}: ''Mysterious Colours Choir'' consists only of a few vocal lines with no accompaniment. |
| 10 | * IAmTheBand: Currently, ARS only consists of one musician. |
| 11 | * IHateSong: ''Creatures of the Void'' was written as a polemic against spiders. |
| 12 | * LastNoteHilarity: A short piece found on the songwriter's Instagram page is a relatively serious homage to Dante's Inferno, until the last line: [[spoiler: "God's wrath will not be calmed by soup"]]. |
| 13 | * LoveNostalgiaSong: ''Cassandra''. |
| 14 | * MelismaticVocals: In the middle of ''In Media Res''. |
| 15 | * {{Nerdcore}}/HeavyMithril: Depending on what genre you consider the artist to be. |
| 16 | ** ''Mysterious Colours Choir'' is a combination ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'' tribute and ''Literature/TheColourOutOfSpace'' mockery. |
| 17 | *** ''Guardian Angels'' is a straight-up OSP tribute. |
| 18 | ** ''Creatures of the Void'' is inspired by Ungoliant from ''Literature/TheSilmarillion.'' |
| 19 | ** ''Are You Anxious'' is a ''WebVideo/SandersSides'' homage. |
| 20 | ** Many uploaded songs are based on Podcast/TheMagnusArchives. |
| 21 | ** ''Host of Wind and Stars'' is based on the Wild Hunt, though it is not intended to be accurate to any incarnation of the actual myth. |
| 22 | * NonAppearingTitle: ''In Media Res''. |
| 23 | ** Downplayed with ''Host of Wind and Stars'': The exact phrase is never used in the lyrics, but its components are. |
| 24 | * PhraseSaladLyrics: Most notably in ''Cassandra''. However, it is downplayed: the otherwise unconnected images are all said to apply to the titular character. |
| 25 | * SelfBackingVocalist: {{Exaggerated|trope}} in ''Mysterious Colours Choir'', which consists of nothing but the same voice at multiple layers to create a choir effect. |
| 26 | * SingerSongwriter: AEM currently consists of one musician, who writes and performs all of the music. |
