#'i was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading'

[everythingisconfetti]

what is the best love song ever written and why is it Fair by The Amazing Devil?

#i could write essays on the interplay between prose and mundanity that's chatacteristic of so many tad songs #but i do think fair is the most perfectly executed. it's grounded poetry and it's beautiful #like #'this life that we've created inundated with the fated thought of you' #gets me every goddamn time #'i was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading' #the IMAGERY! the TENDERNESS #and then let's through a 'that's what she said' joke in there too #the intricacy of weaving humour and intimacy and hope and everything that makes up a relationship into one song #yeah. yeah #the amazing devil #tad #joey batey #madeleine hyland #music #music analysis #shut up ellie

[sporadicallynightmarishbees]

I can't be expected to be normal after hearing the words:

" 'I've seen enough,' he says, 'I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

Into carpet burns and carousels

Christ, you'll be the death of me' "

Like??? How am I supposed to exist after this ripped open my ribs and played them like a xylophone

#Fair #the amazing devil #joey batey #madeline hyland #this is my millionth listen #im so normal about them actually #so normal #musical musings #music #there is cocaine in those songs #heartbreak #i want to cry #im sobbing #how can i survive when this exists #emotional #the amazing devil invented emotions actually #love #love songs #love sick

ok i have been going insane and also listening to the amazing devil, specifically fair, and "i was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading" got me thinking; fitpac but when they get tired and they're safe inside somewhere pac stands behind fit and just lies on him, like arms around his waist and head resting against his shoulder, and fit let's him because god it feels good for someone to have his back.

Did someone say Helnik coded songs by indie artists who deserve more attention? Probably not but I’m gonna give you some anyway

See the Kanej version here :)

Witchcraft by Vian Izak - “Those fingers in my hair, that slight come hither stare, that strips my conscience bare it’s witchcraft” “it’s witchcraft, wicked witchcraft, and although I know it’s strictly taboo when you arouse the need in me my heart says “yes indeed” in me, proceed with what you’re leading me to”

Fair by The Amazing Devil aka THE helnik song argue with the wall- “she promises to fight them all, when it all becomes too much, and he, he curses at the world for leaving him behind he’s falling out of touch and she is stronger, than he’s ever been he knows” “she’ll turn to him and say “it’s not fair, it’s not fair how much I love you. It’s not fair, ‘cause you make me laugh when I’m actually really fucking cross at you for something” and he’ll say “oh how, oh how unreasonable. How unreasonably in love I am, with everything you do I’ll spend my days so close to you”” “he says “I know exactly what I want and it’s this life that we’ve created inundated with the fated thought of you and if you asked me to, if you asked me I would lose it all like petals in a storm, ‘cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light was fading””

Allies of Enemies by The Crane Wives - “Remember when I could tell you not to smile when you were mad? And you would always crack and we’d both be laughing in the end. Now you’re not so quick to forget. Are we allies or enemies? This will be the death of me” “all is fair in love and war but I can’t fight with you anymore, this will be the death of me”

Immortal by Reinaeiry - “Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see your face resting on my shoulder, and my heart beats so fast that I start to feel alive again” “and I’ll always find you again and again and I’ll love every version of you and you’re never truly gone as long as a part of you in me lives on”

Till Forever Falls Apart by Ashe, FINNEAS - “Out on our own, dreaming in a world that we both know is out of our control, but if shit hits the fan we’re not alone” “and if the sky falls from Heaven above just know I had the best time falling into love, we’ve been living on a fault line and for a while you were all mine, I’ve spent a lifetime giving you my heart I swear that I’ll be yours forever til forever fall apart”

I might add more if I think of them, but for now this is the list and please feel free to add more!

I’ve found the perfect Tav x Human!Gale song, and I’ll stand by this until I die.

It's what my heart just yearns to say

In ways that can't be said

It's what my rotting bones will sing

When the rest of me is dead

It's what's engraved upon my heart

In letters deeply worn

Today, I somehow understand the reason I was born

'Cause outwardly he says, "I try so hard to make you laugh at me"

And she, she does, she laughs

As though she's not heard the joke ten thousand times before

And he adores her

He watches her get dressed as though she's hurtling through time

Oh, darling, please be mine

She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much

And he, he curses at the world

For leaving him behind, and he's falling out of touch

And she is stronger than he's ever been, he knows

She brushes her hand through his hair

He's got so much fucking hair

And he holds her close, just to keep the world at bay

And when they're sure no one can hear them

She'll turn to him to say, she'll turn to him and say

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you

It's not fair, 'cause you make me laugh

When I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something"

And he'll say

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable

How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do

I'll spend my days so close to you

'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"

"I've seen enough, " he says, "I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

Into carpet burns and carousels

Christ, you'll be the death of me"

And calm throughout his melodrama

She will turn and say, "Dear heart, it's me, it's me

You don't need to pretend to be someone you're not

'Cause it's not like I've never heard you fart and snore

And for some godforsaken reason

I'm still here, love, like I've always been before"

And he'll say

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you"

It's not fair, 'cause you make me weep

When I'm just tryna watch The Office with my yoghurt"

And she'll say

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable

How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do

I'll spend my days so close to you

'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm cool"

"How unfair, how unfair, " they'll sing

As they dance across the darling rooftop wreck

He'll trip, and she'll pretend not to have seen

Burying her head into his chest

And clinging to the moment, "Where have you been?"

She'll whisper, "I've waited, oh, so long for you to come"

And as the stars above them hum and hear them

He'll turn to her and say, "That's what she said"

"It's not fair, oh, it's not fair how much I love you

It's not fair, 'cause you make me ache, you bastard"

And he'll say

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable

How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do

I'll spend my days so close to you

'Cause if I'm stood here, then I'm stood here

And I'll stand here

I'll stand here with you"

currently in love with the way TAD songs rhyme stuff in the middle of lines inkpot gods: But it seems the whole world does I’ll stay because I will be the man my father never was fair: And it’s this life that we’ve created, inundated with the fated thought of you And if you asked me to, if you asked me I would lose it all Like petals in a storm, cos darling I was born To press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading Just to let you know I’m old, waylaid and feels like I am wading into And calm throughout his melodrama she will turn and say ‘dear heart It’s me, its me

welly boots: Awake awake you children bold Take hold of all your books and fold The corners, they warned us A storm is coming on

Get drunk for me, sing louder than you’ve sung for me, Grow young each time that thunder in your lungs begins to rumble at the world marbles: You’d swoon, you’d sigh, working shifts till we cried Oh if one more guy calls me darling then I 

the calling: And my weakness made me weep less

But now my ink’s blood red not black And I’ll blink like ripping envelopes

And on the banks of that river I shiver as a fox stands frozen

Do you like my dress, it’s got pockets The rocks beneath my feet begin to crack

the old witch sleep and the good man grace: There’s a fire burning And I’m learning to be

She says as she scrolls Through the rolls that the millions

#the amazing devil #i'm sure there's more #add em if you got em #i know some of these are only near rhymes but i'm positive the intent is there #joey batey #madeleine hyland #i didn't even look through love run yet #love run itself is one long near rhyme

[soundsfaebutokay]

I'd like to report that The Amazing Devil personally attacked my touch-starved ass with "I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading" but I'm being so brave about it. 🥺

#I lied I'm not being brave about it at all #but it's Year 2 of a pandemic in one of Southeast Asia's most affected countries #so my asthmatic ass hasn't been in a cuddle pile of friends in far too long :( #Fair #The Amazing Devil #Joey Batey #Madeleine Hyland #music #my faves #my TAD obsession

Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

[tad-song-bracket]

okay i’m back. marbles lost, it’s fine, i can cope with that. but by god if the song that brought us such life changing lyrics as “it’s what my rotting bones will sing when the rest of me is dead” & “and he adores her / he watches her get dressed as though she’s hurtling through time / oh, darling, please be mine” & “it’s this life that we’ve created / inundated with the fated thought of you” & literally the entire final verse & of course the eternal, the incomparable, the unimpeachable “cause darling i was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading” loses?? we riot. this pinnacle of romance in musical form, The Love Song Of All Time, was my very first amazing devil song and it shall remain queen of my heart forever and ever regardless of any poll results… but also i need it to win for the sake of universal truth and justice. fair girlies we have three days i am COUNTING ON YOU!

"'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading Into carpet burns and carousels Christ, you'll be the death of me"

I am sooooo normal about Fair by The Amazing Devil I promise. It's no big deal. Just breathtaking lyrics about the deepest of loves and how it's as much about devotion as it is about the small, simple, quiet things.

Send me a 🪄 to get a song lyric I am not normal about :)

#ask games #thanks for asking!

[margindoodles2407]

I just. Give me- let me just.

OKAY LET ME SCREAM PLEASE BECAUSE "FAIR" BY THE AMAZING DEVIL IS SUCH A HYRULE WARRIORS ZELINK SONG YOU DO NOT UNDERSTANDDDDDDDD-----

*unhinged rambling under the cut*

OKAY OKAY SO. JUST.

I have NOTHING to add to this because it's ALL THERE IN THE LYRICS so I'll just put the lines that stick out THE MOST to me and maybe you'll get an inkling of what I'm experiencing right now (hint: what im putting is 90% of the FREAKING SONG)

--------------

It's what my heart just yearns to say in ways that can't be said/It's what my rotting bones will sing when the rest of me is dead/It's what's engraved upon my heart in letters deeply worn/Today, I somehow understand the reason I was born

'Cause outwardly he says, "I try so hard to make you laugh at me"/And she, she does, she laughs/As though she's not heard the joke ten thousand times before/And he adores her

She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much/And he, he curses at the world for leaving him behind, and he's falling out of touch/And she is stronger than he's ever been, he knows And he holds her close, just to keep the world at bay/And when they're sure no one can hear them she'll turn to him to say, she'll turn to him and say

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you/It's not fair, 'cause you make me laugh/When I'm actually really ******* cross at you for something" How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do 'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"

"I've seen enough, " he says, "I know exactly what I want/And it's this life that we've created/Inundated with the fated thought of you/And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all/Like petals in a storm

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading *****, you'll be the death of me"

And calm throughout his melodrama/She will turn and say, "Dear heart, it's me, it's me/You don't need to pretend to be someone you're not

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you"/It's not fair, 'cause you make me weep

"How unfair, how unfair, " they'll sing/As they dance across the darling rooftop wreck/He'll trip, and she'll pretend not to have seen/Burying her head into his chest She'll whisper, "I've waited, oh, so long for you to come"

I wrote another DeanPharm fic, because I can't stop having feelings about them.

I listened to this song and this line totally ruined my day

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head Between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading

because all I could picture was Dean pressing his face against Pharm's back and then this fic appeared over the course of a few hours in bits and pieces.

surprisingly, there's zero smut in this one lol it's just all my love for Dean and Pharm as they love each other over and over again.

#deanpharm #until we meet again #until we meet again fic #uwma fic #pinkish fic #dean loves pharm more than anything
