The Longest Johns - Hoist Up The Thing 2020

The Longest Johns are a British folk musical group from Bristol, consisting of Andy Yates, Jonathan "JD" Darley, and Robbie Sattin. They are known for performing folk music and sea shanties in the English tradition, and they also compose and record their own music.

The band has self-released four albums and several EPs. Between Wind & Water (2018) included their rendition of the folk song "Wellerman." This recording, as well as the one used in the bands' Sea of Thieves series "Open Crewsing" would later fuel the sea shanty viral trend, principally on TikTok, in early 2021.

Omg imagine if Ghost got hurt in a mission and like his mask is drenched in liquid like I dunno blood or water or something, and he's half laying down on the ground, still reeling in

And Soap approaches him very gently, like he's a spooked animal, because he basically is, and kneels in front of him, with very soft hands reaching for his mask and he says with a quiet voice :

"Am gonnae lift yer mask, LT, I ken ye dinnae want tae, but ah dinnae want ye tae drown yerself... Ah hiv another one fer ye, a dry one, tae replace this one. If ye want tae, ah'll even close ma eyes tae dae it"

And it's Simon who looks back at him, feeling terrified but so in love that it hurts him to hold the words back and instead he just nods slightly, doesn't know if he wants Johnny to recognize the emotion in his eyes or not. Because he doesn't know if he can love him, if he can provide for him, keep him safe, and he doesn't know if he can keep himself safe if anything happens to his Johnny.

But Johnny closes his eyes and lifts the mask off and reaches in his pocket to take out a napkin and another of his masks, wipes the blood and water off his face and gently puts the other mask back on and it's just too much.

"I love you." Ghost says, and once it's done it doesn't feel like he can stop. "I love you, fuck I'm sorry Johnny, I love you"

Soap opens his eyes, feels a bit shocked but not as much as he would have expected. Because it makes so much sense, and he maybe already knew it even if he didn't dare to admit it. Didn't dare to hope. Instead he looks in Ghost's - no, Simon's - eyes, immediately reaches out to wipe the tears that cling to his pale lashes, and smiles.

"Yer a bit of a numpty aren't ye, Simon?" he says, pouring all the love he feels in his eyes. "ah've been in love with ye since the very beginning, dinnae apologize, please, yer more than enough fer me"

Gaz feeling like an outsider after Soap's death?

Gaz was never a man to open up about his inner wounds. He was such a private and prideful person about his feelings, achievements and his family.

His emotions were always in check. Never letting the pressure of the battlefield and near death experiences detoriate his strong spirit and mind. And if he did, he would bounce back quicker than a cheetah. That was, until that unfortunate day when everything went to complete shit.

Soap was gone.

His best mate was absolutely gone. And it was insufferable to go on like this without him around. The Scottish lad's absence is very evident in not only the 141 but also the entire base. A rather quiet and gloomy atmosphere surrounding it. Staff and soldiers filled with heavy hearts as they knew the need to continue on was a must.

The ones not really doing well apart from Gaz were both Price and Ghost. The lieutenant had completely shut down once back from that painful mission. Ever the collected and serious person, broken down. He wouldn't look at anyone in the eye. Would avoid ever interacting with people unless it was about a mission or being fussed over by Gaz. He wouldn't come out of his room back at the private barracks. And at times, when Ghost didn't know that Gaz had gone out for a late walk, how did his heartwrenching sobs be heard.

Price wasn't faring very well either. But he had some composure as the captain of the Task Force. He tried and tried many times again to keep everything as minimum as possible.  But who was he kidding? Everything was too much for him. It went as far as blaming himself for the death of Soap. They had Makarov in their hands, and he practically let him slip away through his fingers. His stupidity led to the death of someone very dearly. It cost him a lot more than he can bargain. There would be days when he was consumed by his paperwork in an effort to distract himself from the cruel reality that one of his own is forever gone.

And Gaz? Gaz had noticed how he, himself, entered a state of inner turmoil. On one end, he tried to come into terms with the huge loss. Trying to help Ghost and Price like a mother hen by being there for them in the best way he could. Always the selfless one out of the team. But on the other, he felt like he was bending over backward and was at his wits' end.

He wished he knew how long this would continue. How far more will he be in this mixture of feelings that left him in complete distraught. And what made matters far worse is that neither Price nor Ghost noticed, and he had begun to question his importance.

the swamp rats playing musical cots because sometimes trapper wanders in dead on his feet and passes out on hawk’s cot , so hawkeye naturally takes frank’s cot because trapper’s is soooo far away , and it doesn’t matter how much frank shakes his shoulder to get him up because he’s either out or he’s pretending that frank didn’t wake him up . so frank sleeps on trapper’s cot out of spite instead of taking the spare one . sometimes this variation swaps around . all their cots smell like each other and the spare always smells like henry’s cigars

#vile vile vile that we never got to see them in each other’s cots btw . if you even care #do you guys think . that after henry died hawk never let anyone sleep on the spare for the longest time #mash #m*a*s*h #mashposting #mash 4077 #mashblr #swamp rats #hawkeye #hawkeye pierce #trapper john mcintyre #trapper john #john mcintyre #trapper mcintyre #frank burns #lgbt #lgbtq

This took actually 4 hours, 3 of them just trying to make the easy way work (spoiler alert - it fucking didn't), last hour I just gave up and fixed the textures manually.

Thank you to @hauntedbubbles for the models and plug-in to import them to Blender! You can find that on this post.

You might ask why... I spend 4 hours trying to make this fucker dance. And that's because I wanna see them be silly and Activision is not gonna give it to me, so I'm making it myself.

who’s who in “let ‘em in” by wings (1976)

and some other thoughts on the song

prefacing this by saying that paul himself has changed his own interpretations and offered many explanations up for each name mentioned in the song! i don't necessarily think there's one right answer about what's about who - paul is known for writing about multiple things at once and having many layers of inspiration behind his lyrics. i will mostly be focusing on the names paul lists off within the song, in the order they appear, starting with:

- sister suzy: suzy was linda mccartney's alter ego within her own band, suzy and the red stripes which was active at the time this song was written. paul has stated on many occasions, including in “the lyrics”, that sister suzy is a reference to linda.

- brother john: a lot of articles reference brother john as being john eastman, linda's brother, while others reference john lennon. paul himself said it could be either. but if we're being honest, the first person paul's gonna think of when someone says “john” is lennon, hands down.

it's worth noting the use of sister when describing linda, paul's wife. while it could make sense in the context of the line brother john being john eastman (john and linda being actual brother and sister to one another), i think it's valid to examine the other potential meanings as well, particularly if we think of brother john as john lennon. it places paul's relation to them both as, firstly, familial and implies an equality in the roles they've served within paul's life. starting the list of people with linda (placing her as the most important as the lot) and then john second is interesting as well. we've seen countless examples of paul and john both comparing their relationships with their wives to their relationships with each other and i think it's striking that paul does this here, whether consciously or not.

(nowadays, paul's brother and sister in law via his wife nancy are actually named jon and susie, coincidentally enough.)

- martin luther: paul writes in "the lyrics" that this is about MLK which i'm sure it partially is but also there is an account of the other three beatles jokingly calling john "john martin luther lennon" in the early days though i couldn't find a solid source for this. there is the infamous 1985 hunter davies quote from paul's off the record phone call with him where he called john “martin luther lennon" but that was obviously years after let 'em in and in a massively different context (though potentially this could suggest that it’s a comparison he’s mentally made before but that’s a bit of a stretch, evidence wise lol). i’ve also heard people say martin luther could potentially be a reference to george martin as well, which is possible. others have speculated that this is a reference specifically to martin luther and the 95 theses (“knocking on the door" i.e. nailing the theses to the door) which paul says may have been true on an unconscious level but wasn't purposeful.

- phil and don: the everly brothers, one of paul and john's earliest and biggest influences as young lads. they were heavily inspired by the everly brothers when they performed as their duo, the nerk twins. they also referred to themselves as the foreverly brothers on other occasions.

- brother michael: paul's brother mike, unsurprisingly. though paul also states in “the lyrics” that this might have been a reference to michael jackson as the timing works with paul and linda meeting the jackson 5 around the same time as well but i think realistically he probably mostly had mike mccartney in mind with this one.

- auntie jin: paul’s real and favourite auntie from liverpool. saw one very rogue take that it’s meant to sound like ‘antigen’ but, quite frankly, i think that’s a bit horseshite.

- uncle ernie: in “the lyrics”, paul mentions that he has a cousin called ian who was sometimes referred to as "ern". but also states that at this point he was just playing with words and sounds and this probably wasn't his intention. previously, paul has attributed the line as a reference to keith moon, who was close to the mccartneys in the 70s prior to his death and played the character of uncle ernie in the film tommy (1975). it also could refer to ringo starr as well, as he voiced uncle ernie in the LSO's recording of tommy. ringo himself referenced let 'em in ("someone's knocking on the door/someone's ringing my bell") in 2003 in the song "english garden" which suggests that, at the very least, he felt as though there was some connection to him there.

- uncle ian: like previously stated, paul has mentioned his cousin ian as potentially inspiring this line but personally i think uncle ian could be a reference to paul himself. "ian iachimoe" (meant to phonetically sound out "paul mccartney" backwards) is one of paul's many pseudonyms, thought to have been created around 1966. he signed the lyrics of paperback writer with "yours sincerely, ian iachimoe" and it is also said that in order to distinguish themselves from the rest of his mail, paul would tell his close friends and family to address letters to ian iachimoe so he would know to read them.

paul referred to "let 'em in" as the musical equivalent of a "stocking stuffer" in “the lyrics” which i'm sure it was in his mind but me and my tin hat will be reading deeper into it as usual! this song reminds me quite a lot of “call me back again" in the sense that i think (subconsciously) it may be a bit of a poke at john to get in contact with him.

it's important to note that the album was written/recorded/released around the time of the infamous “it isn't 1956 anymore” incident where, according to john, paul kept showing up at the dakota with his guitar after sean was born without calling ahead. john would let him in but would be a bit put off about it until one day he gave paul a bit of shite for it and paul took it quite personally. while the actual incident is noted as happening in april of 1976 (according to the beatles bible) if it's true that, as john says, this happened a few times there could have also been some tension with paul appearing at john's in the prior months before paul recorded the song in february of 1976.

paul has spoken of the song as reminiscent of a typical party in liverpool where there's sort of a constant stream of family and friends coming through the door - this could be something paul is nudging john to remember (especially with the references to their teenage musical influences and acquaintances and paul's family members that john himself once knew personally.) something along the lines of "oh come on, john, you've gotta just let people into your life, you can't shut out the people who love and miss you. this is how it used to be with us, don't you remember those days?" ... but that's just my interpretation. anyway sorry this was so long but i just thought i'd share in case some of you hadn't heard all the possible interpretations of the lines :))
