#lyric booklet

[mimi-mindless]

idc what you think about the actual medium quality wise and stuff, but what I really miss is that with CDs dying out, we don't really get booklets anymore. The artwork, the lyrics, the little messages the artist leaves for the fans, it all felt so personal! You don't get this with streaming, and the new lyrics and video feature on Spotify just doesn't feel the same. Also the last CD I bought just didn't have any lyrics in the booklet at all, which actually was one of the main reasons I even bought it

#like i actually sat down reading the lyrics in the booklet while listening to CDs in my teen years #booklets just feel to personal #i really miss them #music #CDs #lyrics #nostalgia

Reading the In Trousers libretto honestly makes everything so much clearer. It's clearly indicated which songs are set in the past or the present, and which ones are abstractions and don't represent actual things that happened. And thinking of the songs in the intended order instead of the original cast recording's, adding the extra songs that were integrated in later versions of the musical, it loses a good bit of that "just vibes" energy that I've always associated with it. It still has all the ambiguous and strange lyrics but I feel like the purpose of each song is much clearer.

#mmmm thinking #maybe it's bc I've listened to it a hundred thousand times but i think i got it kinda figured out #and honestly? #I'm a little sad that they added so many new songs to tidy things up. i find that the haziness of it all is a very alluring aspect for my #*me #in any case i can still entertain myself picking appart individual verses. #i love how weird and disconnected and all over the place william finn's lyrics are #it's like every musical he composes comes with a little activity booklet called ''what was he cooking?'' #mmmmm in trousers. musicals to put in my mouth and chew on #like a squeaky toy #in trousers #the marvin trilogy #falsettos

[dummerjan]

i just came across ai covers on youtube and people are requesting songs in the comments instead of getting enraged and i am further losing hope in humanity and turning to misanthropy

#meins #for a minute i got really excited about henning may singing take me to church :( #i hate people #have you no appreciation for or understanding of art? clearly not. #why would you want to listen to an ai generated song? even if it sounds like your favourite singer it's not them #it has no feelings to meaning to intention. it is empty and soulless #reading the booklet for sinéad o'connor's album of traditional irish and folk songs gave me so much appreciation for her #she wrote a little bit about each song. why she chose it or what it means to her. #it has added so much to my enjoyment of those songs and i think of it whenver i listen to it #they were chosen with intention with love with a deep appreciation for the music and lyrics and there is a story behind it all #it is art and love and human #i see aboslutely no appeal in ai generated 'music' or 'art' #and i hate that i fell for it for a minute #i was sceptical because i had never heard of henning may covering hozier and since it wasn't just 20-60 sec i am certain #i would have heard about it by now #and something was just a little bit... unsatisfying? something was missing which does apply to a lot of cover songs #(i could go on hour long rants about why people fuck up danny boy (and sinéad o'connor does it best (because she actually takes her time) #or trash madonna's version of don't cry for me argentina (again a song ruined for by everybody else but sinéad - once she has sung somethin #i have a hard time enjoying it by anybody else. the parting glass is an exception. hozier's version is phenomenal)) #but! henning may not giving it his all for a cover? unlikely. very unlikely. #anyway this concludes my tuesday night rant. rather here in the tags than some poor person's inbox. #or i would have kept fuming by myself for another hour or two

🎵 FUFFY!!!!!!!

Okay. OKAY. You have to have known that I would never be able to narrow it down to just one song. I am going to have to dump about a dozen songs on you, each corresponding to a different era of Fuffy. If that's a problem - tough, you knew what you were getting into.

To start us off, both Bodybag by Chloe Moriondo and Saccharine by Jazmin Bean capture that early-Fuffy feeling of "I'm not sure if I want to fight you or fuck you and frankly I think it might be the same thing".

I could cry when I hear you speak but that just makes me angry Wanna kiss you on your cheeks but I also wanna punch your teeth I just don't get it, I just don't know Don't know if I hate you or if I wanna date you Put you in a body bag instead of my bed

You make me afraid Come closer, wait no, go away Disgusted at the fact I care Cut you the fuck off like dead hair

Speak Your Mind by Alice Merton is the anthem for That final scene in Revelations. I saw her in London a couple of months ago and she was great, but I need to see her again until she performs this song.

And you know that it's hard for me To look at you and realize you're part of me But nowadays you seem so far away from me So out of reach Won't you speak your mind? There's a silence in the room and it is killing me Won't you speak your mind?

If you wanted something for their wild nights bonding in Bad Girls, then Untouched by The Veronicas is a classic, and 100% captures that vibe: horny, but perpetually unconsummated. Speaking of Bad Girls, the song that plays when they dance in the Bronze - Chinese Burn by Curve - is a very Faith song.

She burns friends like a piece of wood And she's jealous of me because she never could Hold herself up without a spine And she'll look me up when she's doing fine Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture She's just someone's favorite daughter Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters Friends and enemies they're all the same

I know they're TSwift, and putting Taylor Swift songs on a fanmix is a cliche beyond parody at this point, but I have to shout out three songs from Folklore - Hoax, My Tears Ricochet and The 1 - for being unavoidably great Fuffy songs.

For what it's worth, any song that references "the one" instantly rings Fuffy bells in my head, because "the one" is SUCH a loaded term for them (being soulmates who are in direct competition to be The One). As such, I present Uno by Muse, which gets at that post-Enemies feeling thy both have of feeling like the other really messed up by not following them.

You could have been number one And you could have ruled the whole world And we could have had so much fun But you blew it away

For the same period, but more focused on the rage and denial that comes with self-recognition through another, we have Anything Like Me by Poppy, which is definitely up there as one of the most Fuffy songs around.

I'm everything she never was Now everyone's out for my blood Stop, you're making a scene You're coming at me with blood in your teeth You shouldn't be anything like me You shouldn't be anything like me You'll never be anything like me You shouldn't be anything like me I feel her heart beating in me Get her out of me Love is never-ending in me Take it out of me

While we're doing cliches, I obviously have to mention that Kiss With A Fist and Girlfriend In A Coma both exist. They're like the complimentary breadsticks of Fuffy mixes - they're not what you're there for, but their exclusion would be a choice. Knife Going In by Tegan and Sara is also another surprisingly appropriate set of lyrics given how on-the-nose the title is.

I feel the knife going in I'm feeling like she's not enough to kill me I thought it up and fast But I'm feeling it now And I feel like she's sleeping inches from me I let it pass

Before we finish, I wanna take us to S7, which is just a goldmine - so many songs about that specific feeling of "we were once friends and now we're so far apart". I'll shout out Bad Blood by Bastille, I Want You by Mitski, and Maria by AliceBand, but most of all a slight wildcard - Forget About What I Said by The Killers.

We used to tear it down But now we just exist. The things that I did wrong, I bet you got a list. Now I know how you remember And those moments that you choose Will define me as a traitor Stealing everything you lose.

If S4!Fuffy is more your thing, then we have When I Needed You by Carly Rae Jepsen and Crash and Burn by Maggie Lindemann to both capture Faith's jealousy and anger after waking up.

You picked him over me And you left with no apology Felt a knife in your back Yeah, you thought I was the killer You're looking in the mirror

Or for the Who Are You body-swapping soul-muddying you-and-I-have-begun-to-blur of it all: Bloodstream by Stateless.

Words can be like knives They can cut you open And the silence surrounds you And haunts you I think I might've inhaled you I can feel you behind my eyes You've gotten into my bloodstream I can feel you floating in me

(Yeah, knives is another trigger word for the Fuffy bells)

To finish off, I'd like to bring us back to S3, and Graduation Day Part II. For me, this is the absolute peak of love and tragedy that makes their story what it is. Strawberry Gashes by Jack Off Jill is a great Buffy-POV song that expresses her feelings of wishing she have reached out and done something different to save Faith, while also understanding that it was Faith's choices that led them to this.

Scold me, failed her If only I'd held on tighter To her pale white skin That twisted and withered away from me, way from me Watch me lose her It's almost like losing myself Give her my soul And let them take somebody else, get away from me Watch me fault her "You're living like a disaster" She said, "kill me faster" With strawberry gashes all over, all over me

But if there's one song that works for both of them at this moment, it's Switchblade by LP. If I had a gun to my head and was forced to pick one song to sum up Fuffy, it would be Switchblade by LP. Both the mood and lyrics manage to capture the soul of it - the wistfulness and melancholy, the lost love and lost innocence, the doom and destiny, the pain that comes intertwined with affection. The homosexual yearning. Seriously, go listen to Switchblade by LP.

We were electric We were wild, we were free And I thought that you meant it It's hard to accept it That it's not meant to be But I'll never regret it I don't, I don't No, I don't, I don't Long live the beautiful hearts Who find love and tear it apart Long live the beautiful hearts Who find love and tear it apart All of the hurt you've been hiding away Cuts me at once like a switchblade So take every stab you can take And I'll give it to ya, give it to ya I always knew that you'd cut me someday I fell in love with a switchblade And I know that you did the same And I'll give it to ya, give it to ya

#this was me being restrained btw #i want to burn a 4-part fuffy cd collection that comes with a little booklet #with choice lyrics and paragraphs explaining their relevance #fuffy #btvs

I've been talking about teasing apart lyrics for the amazing devil's battle cries so here are my two sets of lyrics!

Joey Batey:

The wrinkles and bricks that we’re left with at last And that drink will it fix all those questions unasked Who died? And made you king of it all

Now the wind feels so warm on the back of my neck As I walk with the sun hand in hand from the wreck Some fictions we took to mean fate believe me I know

Tell the truth to me love, does my hair look as nice As it did when you once tied it up in your eyes? Look at me as you say this, don’t look at your phone

Cos that sun that beams down as my hands touch the grass After summers of fasting I feel hunger at last For the person fifteen year old me would be proud to have known.

Cos these plates they smash like waves And the wine stains hide the tears

But that breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realise - They’re just battle cries dear

And these lines aren’t wrinkles dear heart They’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art And as I walk away I know I’ve been through the wars, But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause

With you I could summon the gods and the stars Watch them dance out the plays that we wrote from the heart And we’d laugh at the ghosts of our fears. We were kids.

‘Come at me you blaggards’, you’d yell from the banks Wielding words against make-believe wizards and tanks And by god love believe me, I wanted to play too, I did.

But we sunk into water no creature can know

You dragged me along to watch all your shows

Our devils broke rank, and out of the depths came an army I won’t let you turn our last night into this I’m going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a break up dear heart, it’s a season finale.

Cos these plates they smash like waves And the wine stains hide the tears But that breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realise - They’re just battle cries dear

And these lines aren’t wrinkles dear heart They’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art

And as I walk away I know I’ve been through the wars, But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause it’s applause it’s applause

All it took to unearth in the dust and the dirt Some release or respite from the heat and the hurt Was taking the time now and then to ask how I am

And now at the end, I’m not going to scream, beat my chest at the wind, I’m doing fine.

Madeline Hyland:

I’m at the brink, don’t laugh

At the winks I’ve masked

Who’ll save you when you fall?

Who wins this war? You’ve a knack

For applause from the back of the stalls but you lack The conviction to look at me straight and say yes

Don’t be uncouth, be a man

Don’t lie with your eyes, you know I despise that look You’re home. For God’s sake I’m

Done with your dreams, they won’t last

Thirty winters will pass, you’ll look back at the woman fifty year old you will be proud to have known.

Place your smile in mine Why stay? Hide the

Breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realise - They’re just battle cries dear

Hardly knew the words I’m dolled up love don’t I deserve to just

walk away I know I’ve been through the wars, But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain

Come on love, please don’t start

Sing your notes, play your part Then we’ll leave. We were gods

‘Come at me you blaggards' you’d yell from the back of the gallery

Say goodbye. I am not

A drunkard, A daughter, A preacher, god knows how you You dragged us both into the darkness that grows Oh dear God.

I won’t Leave without a fight I’m going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a break up dear heart, it’s a season finale.

Place your smile in mine Why stay? Hide the breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realise - They’re just battle cries dear

Hardly knew the words I’m dolled up love don’t I deserve to

just walk away I know I’ve been through the wars, But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain It’s not pain It’s not pain

at the end of all things

NEW SUNSETTERS!!!!!!

back when we first released our first album, back in 2016, we spontaneously (and immediately) followed it up with a 30-minute song. over the years we have refined and polished and rereleased that first album, but this beast was always left behind. because the thing is, in Sunsetters Canon, this "takes place" after their fourth album, No Entry. and we weren't there yet. well we are now!!! and you bet your bottom dollar we've been working on this thing!!!

I can also say "I." I have been working on this thing, as I am kinda the Editor and Producer of Sunsetters stuff. I am allowed to be proud. and I have been hard at work!!! this thing has absolutely been refined!!! listen to it, I beseech you!!! it is a slow buildup but it goes places, and it should keep your engagement all the way through!!!

"so then. is that it? is that the exciting Next Project after No Entry that you've been working on?" nope! this is a side thing, an EP. I just had to also get this done, and I ended up in love with it. there's still two more releases in the works. but they could easily be a ways away still, so seriously, don't wait up, check out this thing I just posted!!!

"but jordan." yes, lurker? "what if I don't feel like listening to a 30-minute thing right now? what if I want to skip to the good bits?" then I have a playlist for you! I have uploaded all five individual movements of this piece as separate videos! and let me break down the five parts for you so you can decide for yourself:

WARWIG. intro.

SOUTH OF THE FOG. slow smooth sassy doom rock.

THE WHITE DROUGHT. intimate grieving acoustic guitar piece.

DEEP CUTS. the big one. all chaos, all metal, my Editing Tour De Force!!!

SLEEP NOW. outro.

"but jordan." yes, lurker? "what if you don't have to even convince me, I want to drink up all your music right here, right now? what if I want to download all this?" then I have a Google Drive Folder for you! this contains six mp3s (each individual movement, and also the big full 30-minute thing) and two PDFs (a Fictional and a Non-Fictional one! read the Sunsetters's words about their work, and the lyrics! and then when you're done, read mine and Lindsay's words!!!).

"but jordan." yes, my lovely? "what if I want to see this on your Website, or on Bandcamp?" that'll come later! I worked a lot today! today is Release Stage 1, the Fuck-It Release! you get youtube and google drive today!! later will be Release Stage 2, with Website and Bandcamp and also a Paid Boosted Promoted Tumblr Post!!! later!! maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, when I get around to it!!

seriously, just!!! the music's there!! right now, it's there!!! we're really proud of it!! @rapturebones is proud of it!!! I am proud of it!!!! let it impress you!!! let it carry you along!!!

Sunsetters: Ancestor!!!!

thank you!!!! :D
