#my favorite lyric from this musical

[samglyph]

I truly believe Will Wood is an incredible musician and songwriter and is one of the top lyricists in the last decade both in and outside of the genres that he chooses to play in with absolutely zero irony. I also believe that you can only fully understand that if you’ve either had a pet die before listening to his music or you have a history of drug abuse and mental health crises. Or you’re trans.

#this may sound like a snooty post where I’m just upholding my own favorite music as the best #but honestly it’s in response to a lot of fans I’ve seen be really self critical? #like yeah haha I listen to bad music #and I also have been known to joke about my own weird taste #but here’s the thing! from a technical level! his music! goes hard! it is experimental and that is GOOD #and lyrically listen I listen to a lot of music #I’m even familiar with top forty stuff and while yes the content of his songs is very niche #the lyricism is so genuinely clever and playful and ugh god #ok anyway. sorry #listened to Will wood again #and also this post is about the fact that I first I didn’t get it. #and then I went to a really low point. and suddenly I got it #ok it cracked me open like a fucking egg #music #text #personal #kinda

I think Percy would really vibe with that "I only talk to God when I need a favor" song that I hear on the radio all the time tbh

#I don't know if he'd like it #But he would vibe with the lyrics #He also only acknowledged the gods when he needs something from them #It is not my favorite song #But I hear it a lot bc I listen to the radio like an old person #&thoughts #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #percy series #Percy Jackson thoughts #I only talk to god when I need a favor #Is it by jelly roll? #Idk #music

top 5 wips you’re most excited to write? :D

AH …. anon my beloved 🥺🥺🥺 tysm for giving me an excuse to talk about them!!!! i have a whole bunch but here are the ones i’m most excited for/planning to write soon :3 hopefully

TITLES ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION BTW but if you know where any of them are from you get a big gold star ⭐️

it’s your touch that i need

the best friend’s brother!satoru fic that i’m planning on posting next….. i’m . Unsure if i’ll have time to post it this week but :’3 i’ll get it done!!! honestly i just think bfb!toru is insanely attractive so this is mostly an outlet for that but . i have a plot mapped out kind of… the unrequited love trope is just perfect for him but it’s Me so it’ll probably be less angsty and more funny/bittersweet !!

here’s a snippet from it <3

”you’re a good kid,” he says, and his smile teeters on the edge of something apologetic. mostly, it’s pitying. ”there are lots of people out there for you.” the weight of his palm on your head is usually a comfort, but like this? it’s a specific kind of torture. he ruffles your hair, as affectionate as ever, the same as it’s always been. not a trace of any romantic intent. there are lots of people out there for you. (i know, you want to tell him, but your voice is raspy and your throat feels sort of dry. i know. but i want you.)

hunter, you were human

my neglected mer!sugu fic…… our beloved fish man….. one day. i’ll write it out. i’m having some trouble deciding the order of events + general formatting of the outline so 😭😭 i’m a bit stuck. i’ll get there though!!! this au has angst potential but it’s Me so trust that this will be fluffy and nothing else. lots of banter and cutesy moments. i have a lotttt of thoughts about this au and character/reader dynamic so….. i’m. really excited to eventually write it all out!!! i love him sm :cc

“i don’t really like freshwater.” … your eyes widen. his voice is silky, smooth, like a silver river running from the forked tip of his tongue; a melodic lilt that makes you think of the lullaby your mother used to sing you to sleep with. a long, slow moment passes you by, like the rocking of a rusty ship. silently, your tongue forms around a bundle of words, your mouth gaping like a fish out of water. staring at the merman in your bathtub. “you can talk?!”

consider the hairpin turn

THE BELOVEDEST OF THEM ALL …… my extremely neglected best friend’s brother!kenjaku fic T_T my magnum opus even . i started writing it out a while ago but had to stop bc i can’t decide how to format it …. i think it’d be best to tell the story through a lot of flashbacks but it’s difficult to decide where to put what flashbacks in a way that doesn’t disturb the flow, yk??? but i do have everything outlined and i’m super excited to finally post it :33 someday… bfb!kenny is the actual loml i have so much lore planned for him. this fic is just a whole bunch of yearning and tension… the tiniest tiniest bit suggestive bc he truly makes me ill.

nervously, your gaze trails towards the stairs. worried, your teeth gnawing at your bottom lip. kenjaku notices. a large palm cradles your cheek; making sure your eyes stay locked onto his own. ”don't worry about him,” he soothes, a rough thumb smoothing down your skin. ”it’s just us here… just you and me. why don’t you take a deep breath for me, hm?” (you do. without thinking. as if your body was waiting for instructions, waiting to satiate this gnawing desire to impress him, make him proud. be good for him.)  “now,” he exhales, in tandem with you, molecules mingling together. “do you want this?” 

only in the next world

ANOTHER DEARLY BELOVED WIP that’s been rotting in my drafts for a while ….. 👉👈 i think that out of all of these fics this is the first one that i wrote the outline to?? probably even before i made this blog. it’s basically just a canon-aligned au where gojo navigates his maybe-possibly-feelings for you, a new teacher at jujutsu high!! sooo really just my attempt to write what i view as a more canon-aligned gojo and his feelings towards love :3 mostly character-centered fluff and slowburn… some office au vibes…. i’m very fond of this reader!! and i love this version of gojo so bad i really hope i can do him justice…

“they’re a softie, huh?” shoko exhales — smoke drifting past her lungs, mingling with the cold air, a stench of tobacco that makes him crinkle his nose. ”they are,” she hums, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. a dangerously knowing look. “it’s not often someone captures your attention.” gojo smiles. ”is that what it seems like?” he drawls, almost a chuckle. closing his eyes and thinking of you, the fading scent of your perfume. ”well, who knows.” (certainly not him.)

signs of affection

my sickeningly fluffy cult leader geto fic <333 bc i’m spreading the agenda that he is a puppy of a man towards his s/o. this one is just meant to be funny and sweet!! i adoreee the thought of him dating a retired sorcerer with a normal ass job so in this one the reader works at a preschool…. and they’re meant to attend some kind of event for the preschool + is offered to bring a plus one. mild chaos ensues (geto doesn’t want to be anywhere near your non-sorcerer colleagues but he also wants to support you so he’s having a bit of a crisis rn…..) i LOVE this one and i’m so excited to write it out <333333 i think this geto is the most endearing man alive.

suguru blinks, eyelashes fluttering, gleaming under the shallow light of the lamppost just behind him. illuminating the peach-dyed flush dusting his ears, those wide pupils. and his lips, glossy with something cherry-flavoured, soon to curl up into a smile — fond, fond, fond. melting into your touch, basking in your long-sought attention. if he were a cat, you’re sure he'd be purring. he places one big palm over yours, where it rests on his cheek, and he stares. silently, like you’re the only thing worth seeing; dreamy galaxies inside his eyes, all honey and star clusters, leaking adoration. a milky way of love. ”… another,” he pleads, nosing at your fingertips.

#TYSM FOR INDULGING ME ANON!!!!!! #these r all very important to me #anyway im abt to spoil where the titles are from bc i cant contain myself 😔😔 #it’s your touch that i need is a pinkpantheress lyric (song: just for me) bc her music is so gojocoded and ESP bfb!gojo coded… #also the lyrics are very much in tune w the fic and reader being horrendously down bad #hunter; you were human is a lyric from one of my favorite mitski songs pearl diver <333 it just feels mer!sugu coded to me!! #but the song is a lot more somber than the fic #consider the hairpin turn is ofc a line from a richard siken poem <333 bc kenny is sikencoded and this fic is VERY in tune w you are jeff #that’s the name of the poem btw. you are jeff. it’s super good go read it rn !!! #only in the next world is a quote from my belovedest video game disco elysium :3 the full quote is: #“true love is possible only in the next world — for new people. it is too late for us. wreak havoc on the middle class.” #<- which is just. insanely gojocoded #aaaand finally signs of affection is the name of a persona 4 song that i rlly like :3 im not completely sure if that should be the title #but im going w it for now <333 #anyway if you read all this pls know ily. 🫂🫂 here’s your gold star ⭐️ !! #ask tag ✩

ok since I keep talking about music im plugging my Spotify playlists here's one with some of my favorite jazz/blues songs, here's random ass punk of varying subgenres, here's one with some of my favorite R&B (mostly 90s lol), heres a rap/hip hop one, here's some ska punk with random Celtic punk and shit thrown in there, and some country w a bit of folk (so much johnny cash)

and my holy grail playlist: every song from every tony hawk pro skater game (including the remaster)

#all of these are pretty narrow within their genre because ive found my favorite subgenres on some and need to explore others way more #like the jazz is all songs with lyrics bc when i want to listen to instrumental only i usually do a john coltrane album #and the rap is almost all from the 80s + 90s lmao. i dont listen to a lot of new music in any genre so all of these are mostly 20+ yrs old #but if u want to like dip ur toe into the deep pools of these genres they are a starting point #please.... ignore my dumbass playlist names jabdksn #music

i will never get over the fact that this excruciatingly badass mafia boss is a canonly confirmed boingoloid

#no but fr balalaika literally got me into oingo boingo #and for around three-ish years now it's been my favorite band #black lagoon #balalaika #oingo boingo #balalaika black lagoon #the full story is that i watched black lagoon in 2016 and she referenced no one lives forever so i listened to it #it became my FAVE song instantly (still is.) bc it slaps and the lyrics calm me down #then i listened to a couple more songs from dmp but didn’t like them that much bc i listened to heavier music at the time #but in freshman year of uni i decided to give em another try and fell in love.

Have I inspired any of my meager following to listen to The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway yet or do I need to post harder and more annoyingly

#It's my favorite concept album for sure and possibly my all time favorite album in general #Not every song is great (there's a couple outright flops imo) but it's an incredible piece of work altogether #The music kicking in on 'Fly On A Windshield/The Broadway Melody of 1974' is SOOO good the last two songs are SOOO good #'The Carpet Crawlers' is probably the best single song out of it like beautiful shit #There's a song where the guy has sex with three snake women and they bite him and die and then he eats their corpses. Etcetera! #I;ve wanted to use song lyrics from this album as a blog title. Probably 'We gotta get in to get out' which just sounds kind of stupid #out of context but it's so tru. We gotta get in to get out </3

Miles posting a clip of my very favorite Bowie song has got me feeling things

I'm not even gonna mention how he chose the piece that said: /Smiling and waving and looking so fine. Don't think you knew you were in my song/ because maybe making these connections everywhere is slightly psychotic

#it's also actually one of my favorite songs of all time #I can't really find the correct words for what that song makes me feel - #and especially what it made me feel the first time I actually heard it. Like consciously heard the melody & lyrics & meaning #ANYWAY - five years fantalk aside #I love Miles geeking out about music on his stories & sharing his faves #(also gonna note the change Bowie made in that live performance from the recording where it's 'this song' instead of 'my' - for no reason #this time actually - but I'm just overly sensitive when it comes to random lyric swaps in songs and I just gotta note it)

"Just One of Those Things" - lyrics to a jazz standard by American songwriter Cole Porter (1891–1964), famously performed by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Blossom Dearie, et cetera.

#influences #i think of cole porter as one of the best jazz poets. sorry but his lyrics are so perfectly metrical it drives me CRAZY #i purposefully broke up every line where it became catalectic bc emphasizing those breaks is. so fun #cole porter #jazz #song lyrics #poetry #twentieth century #and since this is queued for new year's eve... i hope you're all out there having your just-one-of-those-things tonight #have fun go crazy get wild it's just one of those things #fun fact this is my first time putting straight-up song lyrics in my influences tag but it's kinda long overdue #but im going to be very select when i do post song lyrics on this blog. they cant just be song lyrics i like #but song lyrics i enjoy in the same way i enjoy poetry #this may be (and is) a very unpopular opinion but i do not think songwriting has very much in common w writing poetry #by necessity that is. and that is bc ive never been able to write songs #for some of us they can be very very very different skills #the modern arts of music and poetry are very diverged from each other in terms of what it takes to write a good song or a good poem #they are NOT as overlapped as some ppl try to make it seem sometimes #it's not like drawing versus painting anymore it's more like drawing versus sculpting #ps my favorite version of this song is blossom dearie's

Hello I am once again asking you to listen to Feldup's new album (edit: ive made a rec post)

#I just listened to stared at from a distance the song (after waters which I had already listened to) and it has fundamentally altered my #brain chemistry #some info on the guy : he's french and also does YouTube videos on horror and internet horrific phenomenona but his music is in english #it's indie alternative rock for the most part #in stared at from a distance (the album) some songs are pretty long. I advise you to have lyrics under your eyes #his singing isn't for everyone but I personally love it #big tw warning for csa and sa in general in some of his songs because he's a survivor and sings about it. General warning for mental illnes #ig. don't listen when you're in a bad place I'm not even feeling that bad and started at from a distance (song) just killed me #he's really really really good and he deserves to have more fans of his music pls give it a try #if you don't want to bother with the full almums I'll make a rec list of my favorites from his two albums once I'm done listening #feldup #stared at from a distance #a thousand doors just one key #French artist #music recs

looking in every part of the internet to fuel my hyperfixation no one has ever heard about.

results: none

#gamezz.txt #this is about yona #you should listen to her music btw😁😁 kellon alla and pilvet liikkuu minä en are some of my favorite #it’s by far my most normal interest but how much i can talk about it is unparalleled #like i have to stop myself from talking about her music. i have an entire universe in my head because of her music LOL #like for each song. at least in her earlier albums the lyrics are so powerful. the words compliment the atmosphere of the song #its perfect to visualize how the world looks. the coloring. the people within it #OK ok i wrote like an entire detailed essay but i deleted it😢 you see what i mean by having to stop myself. i could go into so much detail #i would give anything to see people talk about her music….

SMFS for the fav lyrics ask!!! 💖

Love From the Other Side

you were the sunshine of my lifetime; what would you trade the pain for?

Heartbreak Feels So Good

it was an uphill battle but they didn't know, but they didn't know we were gonna use the roads as a ramp to take off

Hold Me Like A Grudge

I guess somehow we made it back with a few dreams of ours still intact

Fake Out

we did it for futures that never came, and for pasts that we're never gonna change

Heaven, Iowa

talking to the mirror, say, "save your breath; half your life you've been hooked on death"

So Good Right Now

I got this doom and gloom in my mind, I got this doom and gloom but I feel alright

I Am My Own Muse

I'm just trying to keep it together, but it gets a little harder when it never gets better

Flu Game

I guess to you now I'm just a face in a crowd, oh, god, kinda please would you kill me now?

Baby Annihilation

orange leaves but we're the ones falling off trees; the first time I took the mask off, I just had another one on underneath

The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)

I felt you at the beginning but needed you at the end

What A Time To Be Alive

everything is lit except my serotonin, everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain

So Much (For) Stardust

I used to be a real go-getter, I used to think it would all get better

#saraaaahhhhhhh ILY of course you would send me this. my best beloved album <3 #Lu rambles #ask games #send me an album and I'll tell you my favorite lyric from each song #music #fob #smfs
