#who make my soul sing

[arundolyn]

despite the fact that the lyrics probably look Cringe on paper, there's more genuine Emotion and effort in gg songs like divide my heart and crawl than like half of the stuff people irony poisoned on twitter afraid of looking cringe listen to if we're being fully honest. like idk if you're so allergic to saying something beautiful and true that you're resorting to "haha the singer pronounces things funny lmao engrish" you kinda really suck for that ngl

#crow.txt #naoki truly does not put his entire heart and soul into singing for yall to make fun of him for it #ggposting #idk divide my heart came on and i remembered people who arent even into gg like to be weird and mean abt gg music and it gets on my nerves

OOKAY IVE BEEN THINKING.

should you kill the "leader" of a team first or last? the leader in this case just being the most well known or the one everyone takes commands from. so y'know.. leader stuff. to set the scene, say.. there's a group of like four or five people, and they've been caught together or are in some sort of deadly situation. they're all going to die one way or another, but which way would fuck them up emotionally the most? .. torture aside. i'm picturing a shot to the head or something. would it be to, A: kill the leader first. or B: kill the leader last?

here are MY thoughts! feel free to add onto this or reblog or whatever. i'm really curious as to what you guys think!! they're all down there cause i don't want to make this too long.,

killing the leader first could symbolize the end of the team, like a bad omen or something idk. cause it would be pretty fucked up to see the person you've looked up to or been working with, who time and time again has made it out of things alive and taken charge to make sure everything's okay, just.. die. right in front of you, like their life never meant anything, and there's nothing you could do about it. like., you love your leader, huh? TOO BAD!! shoots them in the head

HOWEVER, killing the leader last would be pretty fucked up as well. because they'd be seeing the people they've devoted their time and resources and emotions to, just *splat*. gone! it would be pretty soul crushing to see your best friends and allies in their last moments, knowing that you failed them, and it was your decisions that led up to their deaths. and by the time the leader dies, they're glad. because they wouldn't have anything to live for anyways

SO!! i think it depends on who you want to inflict this pain onto, but either way, they're all gonna die. i may or may not have started thinking about this because of the killjoys,.. totally not aha..

#not proofread #okay but the SING music video really fucked me up.. #like the way party poison dies and how everyone does their best to keep going but they just end up dead too #AND THE GIRL BEING THE ONLY ONE WHO MAKES IT OUT ALIVE #soul crushing. #PLEASE give me your thoughts #i need to know #polls #ddttlotfk #kinda #my polls #writing? #i don't know how to tag this #riddler rambles

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive' #turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy) #the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone' #it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' #(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right) #already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me) #and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process) #and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft' #but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

[widevibratobitch]

so i am singing that vitellia in the end... but at what fucking cost.

'you gotta sing this softer'

'what'

'this is mozart'

'this is vitellia'

'this is mozart'

'im singing about how much i hate this mf and want him dead before the end of the day'

'this is mozart'

'i wanna murder a guy'

'this is mozart'

'...'

'softer. gentle. mozart'

'...ok'

#they're killing me here #i already bargained for ONE (1) note in chest (thank you so so much that i am ALLOWED to sing an A3 in chest voice <333) and now THIS #THIS is why people hate mozart. fuck you. #i recorded that rehearsal and the first version sounds SO MUCH BETTER. after i did what she asked me to do its just. so fucking boring. #i hate it here #i love this duet so much but frfr im not sure i wanna do it if i have to do it on their terms. #also like sorry to be a bitch but you're a pianist girl. just stick to your stuff and let me take care of mine. #just because you're playing this like you're constipated because tHiS iS mOzArT doesnt mean the rest of us dont care either. #its possible i never will get the chance to sing the entire vitellia so i want to do justice. as much as im able. to this one chance i get #it took me A Long While to deal with the fact that i wont be able to bark that 'indegno' and 'regno' like i always envisioned. #but like. ok. whatever. i can still make it Entertaining. THIS however. no. no fucking way. #and its not even about me being a big-headed know-it-all who thinks she's better than everyone because. lol and lmao clearly im Not #but this is about having a fucking SOUL. its about actually taking the libretto into consideration too. its about trying to figure out #WHY mozart wrote it the way he did. like sorry but this is another fiordiligi case where its CLEAR that the amplitudes the crazy jumps #are there FOR A REASON. the reason is HE WANTED A CONTRAST. some fucking EMOTION. he sure as hell didnt want it to be Soft And Gentle. #i know it because i talked to him and he told me im right about everything as always and you can eat shit girl bye #grrrrrrrr im so angry #i knos i sound so arrogant here but please. please i just want to make this music fun and enjoyable. i just dont want it to be boring #please understand my vision im begging you

Lord, prepare me

For the shadows

For the sparrows

At my window

#pillar of truth by lucy dacus is now a takaeishi song #can't stop won't stop appropriating sad gay girl music for the birdmen agenda #one day i will make fanart for these 2 i swear #birdmen #takaeishi #takayama sou #karasuma eishi #i the anchor i'm slowly sinking into darkness yet unknown #but the fading light around me is full of faces who carry my name???? #oh i tried to be a second coming and if i was nobody knew #IF MY THROAT CAN'T SING THEN MY SOUL SCREAMS OUT TO YOU #honestly in my head this is takayama's pov on eishi #like sou is so isolated and is drifting further away ready to relinquish himself to his cosmic destiny #but eishi is the only one who tries to keep him #the only one with the guts to express how much he values takayama as a real person and as a friend #while takayama seems more likable and popular it's really eishi who overshadows him as a leader and strong voice #and takayama's always had full trust in eishi he'd be down for anything he'd decide like that's his pillar of truth fr #and now this song got me angsty thinking about the possibility of sou outliving eishi in his ascendence to the cosmic divine #kinda like twilight sparkle outliving the rest of the mane 6 after also becoming a god #birdmen is just like mlp: friendship is magic fr

[lepertamar]

i hate………it when my loves’s patterns look like they are mere expressions of a preexisting and underlying platonic ideal i Actually love…..there was a post i saw asking if ppl had any kinks that they only had specifically in the context of doing it at or with one specific person, the implication and responses suggested this was very strange and unusual and it made me realize……nearly .all my kinks are like this—i do not have a kink for x, and merely want someone who is able to fulfill it. i have a kink for ‘doing x with this one specific person who is not interchangeable with any other person on earth who has ever lived.’ same with broader contexts of relationships—i don’t want to be looking for someone who fits Into a preexisting slot for me, i am not into a particular 'type' of thing and looking for real things that can fill—or mimic, live up to, sort of approximate—that role. that is not me! that is so not me!

sure there are obviously some patterns but that’s different, that’s only after the fact. the encounters are what create the pattern in me in the first place. my loves — in ideas, stories, etc — are not ‘oh this is an Example of the preexisting Thing i want’. they are things that i encountered that caused some kind of reaction in my electron bonds that cause me to stick to it and become a slightly different shape, and sure some of that is only possible because of what i am, but mostly it’s that once i have encountered this thing that reshapes my electron bonds and sticks to me, then i also become capable of sticking to similar things, or completely different things i wasn't able to stick to before, sometimes due to convoluted associations, often transcending the association after a bit and connecting with the other things independently of it. i have a really really hard time not reflexively — even just in my own brain—‘justifying’ my loves and patterns by trying to make up an underlying preexisting Empty Slot in the way other people do — trying unthinkingly to explain and come up with ‘a type’ (preexisting) that this one singular particular one-of-a-kind thing or person is just a mere example of/fitting candidate for—but it’s a lie when i do this. it’s lying to myself, and lying to others. i think i have done it on this blog before. but it’s ugly, and untrue, and not me.

#i was talking intensely with someone this morning about this and how they have….been unlearning this same reflex #and that MY blog is what helped them? which is great but it also makes me aware of how much i DO do this even if it’s less #anyway like. i don’t think tamar had a preexisting constitution that was destined for x it was just. she wanted it she wanted it badly. #once she encountered she was besotted. it was not one Way of expressing a true self. and Also not like she’d be incomplete if she'd never #started wanting it. maybe not something she’d HAVE wanted so badly if she encountered it differently. but she DID. and so it became Of her. #like IRL...g-d who set-Its-heart-on am yisrael not because we were An Example of Its ideal but because It did. #the falling in love is the first principle. not falling in love with an example that fit what It wanted in a mate but #wanting and continuing to want and putting the effort into it becuz the love happened and could not be helped. #‘she did something sacred and she’s still burning?’ and ‘i’m someone who’s done that..part of me (now)....’ #(“And the nature of his [soul]… was it to be enveloped? He is suspicious suddenly that it was *not*. that #his life could have taken a different path but instead he has found himself here. [….] but how lucky he is that what he is to see is this-- #coal sings #sehhinah

[leatherbookmark]

a thing i have JUST realized, isn't the human brain amazing lol -- is that we talk about izzy's thoughts and feelings on ed, on blackbeard, about how he serves one but not the other, etc, etc, and how it means he never loved or even respected the True Man Underneath It All but rather the bloodthirsty legend of a pirate--

e x c e p t izzy is not the first person who makes the distinction between edward and blackbeard. it's ed himself, when he says "actually, i want to be called edward from now on".

before, when he was with stede, it didn't bother him at all that the crew called him blackbeard. that was his name! he was blackbeard, what else would they call him. only stede and izzy got to "ed" or "edward" him, because they were closer -- stede was his first close friend, izzy was his friend and first mate for decades. (note that fang was with ed the longest, but he doesn't call him by his name! you gotta deserve it.)

izzy doesn't do anything inappropriate or out of proportion when he snaps at the crew to call him blackbeard or captain -- that's who ed is, is supposed to be, to them. they're not friends! they even call stede captain, and have you seen that guy?

it's ed that makes the connection between his current state: draped in fuchsia robes, singing sad songs about how sad he is, showing his vulnerable and emotional state in front of people who are supposed to respect and trust his authority. and by that he splendidly loses that authority, to the point that wee john calls him ed, and when izzy snaps at him for disrespecting his captain, ed goes no, actually, yknow what, do call me edward! and then he goes on to encourage the crew to sing as well and hey, actually, why are we being pirates! we should do a talent show!

the distinction is clear here. before all that, in izzy's eyes, his boss was blackbeard, captain, ed/edward -- different names for different occasions, but one and the same guy. but now? this guy singing songs in a pink bathrobe doesn't want to be called blackbeard, he's edward! ed time now! we're going to eat marmalade and express our feelings in front of everyone! and hold talent shows! Ya Hoo !

yeah, it's no wonder izzy doesn't want that. he wants his competent captain back, and this current dude, edward? he's not him. so, uh,

#shrimp thoughts #AND it's not izzy that's the final nail to magenta ed's coffin. it's the lads calling for EDDIE to come and sing for them again #right after izzy -- his first mate! the guy who followed him for all those decades with only mild complaining and an occasional #fed up tirade here and there -- tells him he has no reason to respect him the way he is now. if that's the way with izzy -- then fuck! #what about these guys? those basically strangers to whom he stupidly bared his soul? who are treating him like a source of entertainment? #man's just lost izzy's support. he doesn't have stede (the guy who has the sort-of loyalty of the crew). and the crew respects and admires #blackbeard -- but ed? eddie? uh oh. #look at his face and body language before and after the 'hey eddie give us another song!'. before: he's clearly upset by what just happened #but he starts to fix the robe on himself. starts trying to deal with it and stuff. but the second he hears that one sentence? he freezes. #he turns his head towards the source of the voices -- the crew chanting his name -- very slowly. his eyes are barely moving #this is not to say that izzy's words had no effect on him because they clearly did! but he did not go full kraken to make a point that izzy #is wrong and actually pink and karaoke are good. he goes kraken because attack is the best defense. and it's so fun when #everyone laughs at your jokes and claps when you sing! it's just that people are fickle as fuck :/ #tl;dr the bekrakening is a complex process that doesn't have its source in one grumpy first mate who just wanted everyone to do their jobs #but rather in a fuckton of factors from which one was -- yeah -- stede abandoning ed after he bared his feelings to him. leaving him a #confused raw wound. which would be fine if ed was a teenager but unfortunately he's a scary pirate who loves a good maim #this post is soooooooo long oh my god i could have fit it in three short paragraphs probably

“ Captain Beidou! ” Excitedly, the pinkette waves her hands to greet the other. It was exciting to meet the warrior once more, it’s been a long time. A couple of weeks but she never forgot the sight so gorgeous as the bravery that the woman portrayed before her while protecting her crew. The tales of Beidou’s adventures were already all heard by the woman of crystals and heaven, she was delighted to meet the other again. Her memory did not miss the noble soul such as this one! How could she? Such people are one of the reasons the world is so beautiful, so bright, so colorful, so cheerful. One of the heroes, she will be remembered as a legend. A beautiful, strong, and unbreakable force of the sea. “ Welcome back to Liyue! I’m so glad I got to see you once again! How was your travel across the sea this time? Hehe, your crew said that you saved them yet once again, but I really want to hear it from you if you’re not busy! ” 

#i suck at first meetings so lets make it like their... second meeting at least i beg i cannot do first meetings for life #beidou can just see her as a weird energetic pink elf lady who travels a lot and everyone talks about #jiingweii #∴∵ ❁ ∴∵ 「 THE BEGINNING OF YOU AND I. 」 in character. #➸ ✾ | G. IMPACT; ― “ my soul sings of a spring’s blossom‚ everlasting in its devotion.

Always very interesting when my mother asks for my opinion on singers, because a) why does she act like I am the Sole Authority who knows everything™, and b) she always seems a bit surprised when I extend people grace and don't pick apart or cruelly judge every single one of their flaws.

#yes I am aware of the irony of treating other singers as human beings with limitations who are allowed to be imperfect while #thinking that I have to make every single song I sing in every context The Best Ever™ to the point where it almost made me stop #singing altogether. trust me. #but like. Idk sometimes putting it out there in words will hopefully make me more able to give MYSELF grace too. #speaking of which. I DO want to post singing soon. as soon as the fatigue lets me work around it lmao. #because it's been harder to stand up for long periods of time (and it's easier for my voice to work when I stand as opposed to sitting down #but maybe I'll just sing for a few minutes every day and see if anything's usable in a week or so idk. #in any case. I DO need to get better about Making Sounds In Front Of People again. it's good for me. and my soul. and expression in general

actually the fact that i don't know how to loop videos is such an asset because there is one clip of a screen recording that if I could just put on loop and listen to while actually using my phone, I would never stop listening to it

Just some headcanons about big, tough Simon Riley as a girl dad💗💗💗

Girl dad! Simon who’ll let his daughter put clips and bows in his short blond hair, and lets her put sparkly unicorn lipgloss on his lips without a fuss.

Girl dad! Simon who has tea parties with his daughter, and stifles a chuckle when she gets into arguments with her stuffed animal “guests”.

Girl dad! Simon who cheers for his daughter louder than anyone else at her sports matches. All you hear is a booming “That’s my girl!” from the stands.

Girl dad! Simon who knows every single princess song, and can’t believe it when he starts to sing them on his own time at work.

Girl dad! Simon who tries to make your daughter heart shaped pancakes and fails, but she eats them nonetheless.

Girl dad! Simon who holds back tears when his daughter graduates from kindergarten, he can’t believe she’s getting so big!

Girl dad! Simon who reads his baby girl bedtime stories and matches the voice to the character.

Girl dad! Simon who play fights his daughter at lets her win every time.

Girl dad! Simon who matches halloween costumes with his daughter. Just imagine a big, scary, tattooed man in a fairy costume to match his daughter!

Girl dad! Simon who lets his daughter pick out his watch for work, and in turn he picks out her socks!

Girl dad! Simon who lets his daughter color in his tattoos and lets her put sparkly make up on him.

It’s been eight years since i sang in a choir and ten years since i was in band, but the theatre director at work decided to start a choir and our first rehearsal is this Monday and i am genuinely so excited. I feel emotional just thinking about it.

Life has been hard lately and i can’t wait to experience the joy of making music with other people again.

#i asked him last year if he had any suggestions as to how to find a choir i could join #he got all smiley and said he'd been thinking about starting one #that he's been missing performing music with other people #apparently i'm not the only one who asked #i think things have been hard lately #and most of my coworkers are former music kids #in his words #music feeds the soul #and there's been an ache in my soul i didn't notice until he said this #singing again won't fix everything #but i already know how good it's going to make me feel #i can't wait #work things #choir #music #i've been feeling so apathetic lately i didn't know how much i needed something like this
