So Much (For) Stardust - Title Track

fall out boy

#fob #fall out boy #fob lyrics #fob lyric edit #patrick stump #pete wentz #mine #lines that hit me like a gut punch to the stomach!

[vampirecatprince]

The fact that I've listened to Euclid HUNDREDS of times but it can still randomly hit just right and make me cry tho

#its such a gut punch /pos after the absolute journey of the rest of the album and its so pretty #its so optimistic despite some of the dark lyrics in it and it just resonates with me so much #it really feels like the musical equivalent of that point in recovery where you go 'FUCK IT IM GONNA AT LEAST *TRY* TO BE HAPPY' #and that's such a huge step when you've been that low and don't feel like you deserve it #it makes me so emotional bc ive been there and I know how much that step means #that song is probably the entire reason that one of our alters resurfaced as Vessel #sleep token #sleep token tmbte

[buellersfueller]

Gotta be super honest, I wasn't ready to receive the lyrics "I used to be a real go-getter/ I used to think it'd all get better" at 2 am 🫠

#fall out boy #so much (for) stardust #smfs spoilers #that lyric hit me like a train lol #as did several other songs and lyrics on the album #i liked it a lot #but i really got gut punched with personal burnout and existential dread and so on #ahhhh #fob #excited for the tour

[dogsyears]

Song of the Day: February 17

“DYWTYLM” by Sleep Token

#song of the day #Sleep Token really saving my sanity as we navigate this dark and uncertain time without an upgraded sibling singalong playlist #had to go out into the snow on under two hours' sleep to get groceries #(the farmers' market gave me kefir cheese so any amount of suffering would've been worthwhile but I couldn't know that at the time) #and getting into Nick's car knowing there was music I could request that he could play loud as he wanted and I wouldn't want to cry #I mean blessing isn't even a strong enough term. baking a cake for the Sleep Token guy (his name is Vessel) as we speak #anyway this song sounds incredible in the original and then so odd sung acapella. like singing a bass line just a couple beats repeating #polar opposite of my lady indie covers. a song rendered fully unrecognizable when I wander the house mumbling it to myself #the verses do alright I suppose but the chorus is out of the question. the lyrics are so strong too real gut-punch lines #'and my reflection just won't smile back at me like I know it should / and I would turn into a stranger in an instant if I could #and there is something eating me alive I don't know what it is / maybe not that you conceal your feelings they just don't exist' #the whole song is like that it is so so so good. every new Sleep Token song I hear I'm like oh of course yes I see why these are fic titles #(Sleep Token catching up to Fall Out Boy and Hozier in terms of lines I've seen as fic titles. I mean we are really getting up there #and I am definitely not immune. if/when I put up those fanmixes y'all are gonna be seeing some Sleep Token let me tell you) #edit: it stands for 'Do You Wish That You Loved Me' I just realized I never said #didn't even pick lyrics that include it which is nuts when you realize that every verse does twice. whoops

This has absolutely been discussed many times but I am once again losing it over the fact that "Rogue One" as a name is making sound out of silence.

It's formed as a last minute, emergency name for the shuttle, for the people aboard, for the mission when Bodhi says it; it has no precedent, nothing that came before it for that name to be used. But when Bodhi says it, it exists.

It both takes advantage of and retcons the Rogue Squadron we've seen before in the original trilogy, where there was no Rogue One. But there is now, because Bodhi said it.

Jyn's name, Cassian's name, K's name, Chirrut's name, Baze's name, Bodhi's name, every one of the rebels that are on the shuttle... none of them come up again in the things that temporally follow. Yes, those pieces of media were created before this film, but in the world of the story, they come after, and it becomes a remarkable silence.

Rogue One as the team that took Scarif and stole the Death Star plans exists as Rogue One because Bodhi pulls that name out of silence, out of nothing that preceded it. "Rogue One?! There is no Rogue One!" "Well, there is now." And after Scarif, there is no Rogue One again. It existed only for what it accomplished.

On a meta level, that's exactly what the film does as well-- it tells a story that was only a handful of vague lines before, draws it out of the lacunae and places itself where it belonged to tell a story that was restrained by the shape of the narrative that came before it and was unavoidably wrapped around it. It's the quintessential "doomed by the narrative."

There's also the fact that Jyn's theme is built around dies irae and reflexively creates a reference to her in parts of A New Hope and also makes the score tell you that she's doomed by the narrative to die but I've screamed enough already.

#I will lose my cool entirely if I go off about the soundtrack okay #the achingly beautiful string motifs #the way he pushes the brass into a register that *hurts* #the fact that he takes advantage of Williams' over the top punchy incidental style and constrasts it with the absolute #stunning orchestral style he's so good at with the low strings and brass and the juxtaposition of lyrical sections with tight rhythms UGH #permanently yelling about Giacchino okay #like he took all the good bits of Williams and made them 70x better sorry Williams fans #there's more Super 8 in this score than I ever really thought about before but it's raw in a way a lot of his work hasn't been #I would like him to write more gut wrenching shit like this please I'm begging #like Giacchino absolutely pop off with his writing okay #he punched us in the throat with Up too but that was different #either that or let Chris Tilton do it I'd be fine with that also #anyway I digress this movie makes me foam at the mouth gnaw a table leg feral okay #the Jyn Erso and Hope Suite is probably Giacchino's crowning achievement imo #you have to sit silently and stare at a wall after it #like you have to take a recovery minute #also he WENT. THE. FUCK. OFF. with the Darth Vader motif #congratulations to this movie for making Darth Vader genuinely terrifying for the first time ever #idk you guys I'm just permanently obsessed with this movie #the rest of star wars just exists around this movie okay #they all wish they had what this movie has #I will not be taking criticism at this time

Every time I listen to history of man i feel physically sick

#the lyrics just punch me in the gut #I SAVE YOU A SEAT AND THEN YOU SAY YOU WANNA STAND #like god im curled up in a corner dying over here

Matt describing Revolt as "leading a revolution, but in the style of a Broadway musical" makes everything make sense. That explains the slight sheen on the song, vocals and guitars: there's just a bit of campness in this revolution. Of fucking course. Because it's scripted and led by Muse!

#Matt really isn't a dark guy; even when he's exploring dark themes #there's just a defiant glimmer of hope in everything he does #If we're going out we're going out with all the glory and fun we can: see Knights; and now I can say see Revolt. It makes so much sense now #I suppose that's also what makes something like We Are Fucking Fucked now such a punch to the gut: there isn't a glam edge to it #(thematically/lyrically. Of course musically there still is: can't remember which mag reviewing it called it the most joyous 'we are doomed #song—they're right). There is still fight and resistance in it but there's no revelation in the resistance. That's still the case in Revolt #and that (literally after listening to it one way for EIGHT YEARS) changes the whole song for me now #muse band #matt bellamy #muse #muse interviews #Muse Drones #Revolt Muse #2015 #John Kennedy #X-Posure #Radio X #Drones era #I fucking love John Kennedy he brings out the best in his interviewees. He's so good. Such a professional and a calm warm inviting host. #Muse band #muse quotes #a broadway revolution is so Muse... remember when Matt (last year) said they could write 1984: The Musical? It's them it's Muse! #bands that REMEMBER the role of theatre in performance and art

^vibrating with joy because VNV's new album is so fucking good I'm gonna YELL

#it's always exciting when your all time favorite musician releases new songs but hoooooly I did not expect it to be that good #not a single skip this whole album #the lyrics hit so good and the instrumentation- the drops and the creative use of sound #KJFDHDKSHJSDKJHSDKHFKJSDHKF #At Horizon's End made me shiver several times #Wait punched me in the fucking guts #Prophet made my heart race with a sense of righteous indignance #Before The Rain is filled with so much searing hope- #Run sent so many fucking shivers down my spine when the main chorus hit #it feels like the kind of track you'd happily scream your throat raw singing along to #godddddddddddd to say I adore this musician and their work is an understatement #I'm so glad that Ronan never lets anyone dictate what he should be doing music-wise or what he should stick with or move on from #it's fresh and different and yet so belovedly familiar #chubs rambles

“I’ll get your longing glances but she’ll get your ring and you will say you had the best of intentions” and “I want patiently, he’s gonna notice me, it’s okay we’re the best of friends” and “I search the party of better bodies just to learn that you never cared” and “so much for summer love and saying “us” cause you weren’t mine to lose”

I get why Through Me (The Flood) isn’t on Unreal Unearth. But I love that song and it needs it’s due even though he devastates me with this whole section. Andrew. Hozier. Byrne. why’d you do that

#hozier #the GRIEF punched me in the gut #the whole song is so vivid #why would I expect to not be destroyed by his lyrics #through me (the flood) #unreal unearth
