Hey! I’m starting my first season of marching band and band camp really soon. Do you have any tips or any timing bc I’m shit scared 😭😭

OMG CONGRATS!! YOURE GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE

Here are a few things I've learned over the past 3 years and some things I tell my new marchers every year:

Bring PLENTY of water. To every rehearsal. Even when it starts to get cooler if the area you live in does that later in the season. Don't be like me my freshman year and survive only off of mountain dew.

Once you get your show music listen to it on repeat, ghost along or play along with the recording, etc. It'll make memorization so much easier.

Practice marking time/marching while you practice music. Even if it's just like little baby steps in your bedroom. And practice with a metronome.

Make sure you take care of yourself! Marching season can be a really stressful time for everyone. Make sure you get enough sleep, eat well, and stay hydrated.

Don't be scared of your drum majors/section leaders/band directors/band councils/upperclassmen. We are here to help! Some of the best friends I've made in marching band have been people I was terrified of when i was a freshman because they were older than me. Some of them might look scary but I promise they'd love to help you!

have fun!! Marching band is literally one of my favorite things ever. You get to become a part of an amazing group of people all working together towards a common goal. Your band will become your family and you'll have so much fun together!!

Good luck on your first season! I know it seems scary right now but you'll be incredible. And I promise participating in a marching band is something you won't regret and will build you a family for the rest of your high school career.

Happy marching!!!

I don't really listen to the Beatles but I really like this format (also thanks for tagging me homie! you're very sweet) and y'all know how much i love boygenius so here are my top ten boygenius songs in order!

voyager: this song. absolutely killed me when it came out. the 1st time i heard it i was walking to marching band practice at like 6:45 in the morning, and i was kind of in crisis mode because i had just realized that i had developed a crush on someone i felt i could never be with, and every single line of this song hit me like a freight train the whole walk there. i swear i listened to it like 15 times the first day it was out. it's my go-to song when i'm having a little sad moment.

not strong enough: this song is SUCH a banger (and also it won 2 grammys so that was cool). it has such a good beat and melody but the lyrics are also absolutely devastating? "always an angel, never a god" is one of my favorite lyrics of all time and i have a bracelet set that says that. i wear them every day.

we're in love: this song hits so hard. lucy dacus's voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous, and it's such a beautiful song about the beauty of friendship and infinite familial love. it's so well-written, maybe my favorite lyrically off "the record", and every single time i hear it i am stunned by the pure love it conveys.

letter to an old poet: i am a sucker for a phoebe bridgers song (or one led by her), and this is one that hits the target in that category. it's also one of my favorites lyrically, and the references to "me and my dog" from the boygenius ep make me tear up every time. "you made me feel like an equal, but i'm better than you and you should know that by now" is such a good line in my humble opinion.

revolution 0: again, sucker for a phoebe-led song, and this song is genuinely one of the prettiest songs i've ever heard. the harmonies are so beautiful and again the lyrics are devastating.

emily i'm sorry: it's sad, it's gay, what more could one want? i wasn't a huge fan of this song when "the record" was released, thankfully i have seen the error of my ways and this is one of my favorites now. also it's lowkey relatable? like the "i'm 27 and i don't know who i am but i know what i want" is me except for i'm not 27.

salt in the wound: absolute BANGER. this is such a good song and showcases the talents of each of the 3 members so well. lucy's gorgeous voice? julien's insane shredding at the end? phoebe's part at the end? so good.

true blue: this is me and my best friend's song so it has a lot of meaning for me. like "we're in love" it is about friendship and love, but i just feel like it's in a more fun and playful way. don't get me wrong though, it still has great lyrics, and i also love the music video for this one (i have a hoodie inspired by it.)

cool about it: again, i think this one showcases each individual voice so well. all three of them have their own verse and it just really highlights the beauty and how different their voices are from each other. none of them sound similar, phoebe, julien, and lucy all have very distinct voices. and i also really like the line "i can walk you home and practice method acting".

me and my dog: this was one of the 1st boygenius songs i heard and i really love it. i also really like its connections to "letter to an old poet". i don't have a ton to say about it, just that it's a really good song.

anyways, that's my little music rant for you all today. i hope you enjoyed my yapping.

idk who to tag here

@summersinyourblood and whoever else wants to ofc!

As an average 17 year old white girl who loves The Beatles, I think it's very important people know my top 19 Beatles song in order and why.

1. I Am The Walrus

I love this one because it's literally John Lennon letting his intrusive thought absolutely dominate and furrow into a song. I mean what "pornographic preistess"? Like cmon.

2. Elanor Rigby

If you've listened to this song I don't even think I need to explain. "Ah, look at all the lonely people." I mean it's awesome, it's relatable, it's a story. It's just great overall.

3. Help

It was the first Beatles song I heard that I knew was a Beatles song. It used to be #1, then I heard the two listed above. It will never fall to number 4 or lower because of the sentiment.

4. Hey Jude

It reminds me of my deceased uncle, his name was Jude. He would make my bad days better with his jokes when I was near him, so the lyrics just make me cry. Also this song played right as we left the funeral home so yeah.

5. Magical Mystery Tour

Also just intrusive thoughts. What is the Magical Myster Tour? Idk but I wanna be taken away-

6. Hello, Goodbye

Idk why I like it so much, I just do. Idk, maybe it's because it's literally the Yin Yang of songs.

7. Yellow Submarine

Also just a silly little song. I like it because it's so silly hehe

8. Here Comes The Sun

I very vividly remember my mom singing this to me when I was a baby. Like VIVIDLY because I remember her singing "little darling". She would sing it to soothe me to sleep or some shit idk but it stuck w me.

9. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

ITS LITERALLY A SONG ABOUT BEING HIGH AS FUCK ON LSD OF COURSE I LOVE IT. Also Elton John did a cover of it so that's a plus :)

10. Strawberry Fields Forever

I wanna just walk through the strawberry fields when I listen to this song, it's so relaxing, and yk what yes please take me down to strawberry fields because I wanna forget everything real.

I decided to edit this to tag people to do the same

@loxolotle

@a-homiesexual-book-boi

@that-one-flute12

Anyways that's my top 10, but I know more than that and I Wanna Hold Your Hand is close 10 bc it's so sweet.

julien baker live lyric changes masterpost

the many ways that julien changes her lyrics over time and seamlessly alters the lyrics and meanings of her songs to maintain a level of personal authenticity has become so fascinating to me and many others so i thought it'd be nice to do some research and compile as many as i can. enjoy! or cry! whichever!

the original lyrics are in parenthesis, changes are bolded, roughly in chronological order and i’ve added timestamped links to performances [x] where i can! i use mostly youtube because it's the most accessible. some of these seem to be permanent changes and others are just occasional, probably depending on how she's vibing with the song at the time (i'm assuming). let me know of any i’ve missed!

Rejoice: [x] [x] [x] pronoun change, does this lots! "i know there's a god and they hear either way" ("i think there's a god and he hears either way") [x] she uses the 'she' pronoun here this time! [x] she sings 'force' here and also in a version she performed pre-release "asking why did you let them leave and then force me to stay?" ("asking why did you let them leave and then make me stay?")

Good News: [x] [x] [x] these are not full lyric changes but rather some gut-wrenching repetition. side note she performs a cover of paul by big thief in the first clip here too! "it's less about you / it's all about how i ruin everything oh everything i do / everything i do / god i ruin everything oh everything / oh everything i think could be good news." ("it's less about you / it's more about how i ruin everything--- i think could be good news")

Distant Solar Systems: [x] pronoun change speaking of god, she also omits the second last verse. "I send postcards from the road and now and then she answers" ("and now and then he answers")

Turn Out the Lights: [x] [x] [x] this one hurts! a few times in late '18 and in '19 "maybe i'd do it but it's not a joke" ("i'd never do it but it's not a joke")

Sour Breath: [x] [x] another one that hurts!! "think all the liquors gonna keep me warm / burn everything down just to prove i could / leave you inside a body made of wood" ("think all the liquors gonna keep you warm / burn everything down just to prove you could / leave me inside a body made of wood") [x] audio only from 1:16 (same changes as above +) "i don't do too well when everyone's worried about me" ("i don't do too well when nobody's worried about me")

Appointments: [x] [x] [x] in lots of performances post-2018. she switches between using 'know' and 'think' occasionally “i know that i ruined this / but i think i can live with it / nothing turned out how pictured it ... i think that i failed again / but i know you’re still listening” ("i think if i ruin this / that i know i can live with it / nothing turns out like I pictured it ... i think if i fail again / then i know you’re still listening") [x] audio only - from 2:45 (same changes as above +) "i hope you're still listening" ("i know you're still listening")

Happy to Be Here: [x] tiny changes. not sure if she's done this more than once "different me would be inhabiting my body / have two cars, a garage, a dog..." ("different me would be inhabiting this body / have two cars, a garage, a job...")

Something: [x] [x] [x] [x] (she adds 'again' a lot, even since 2015) “asking aloud why you’re leaving again” (“asking aloud why you’re leaving--”) [x] (this was prior to release) "asking aloud why you're leaving again / i know you won't answer me" ("asking aloud why you're leaving --- / but the pavement won't answer me")

Red Door: [x] "beneath before you won't follow me down" ("beneath before you wont follow me there")

Shadowboxing: [x] [x audio only - from 3:09] "tell me that you love me / tell me you love me / i wanted so bad to believe you / so tell me you loved me / tell me you loved me / i wanted so bad to believe you" ) ("when you tell me you love me / tell me you loved me / i wanted so bad to believe it / so tell me you love me / tell me you loved me")

Ziptie: [x] [x] [x] [x] (side note the end of the second clip rules!!) “someone’s/somethings got my heart in a ziptie” (“someone’s got my head in a ziptie”)

Tokyo: [x] [x] [x audio only - from 1:30] in a few performances in 2022 “a seven-car pile-up of every disastrous thing that i am" (“a seven-car pile-up of every disastrous thing that i’ve been”) + also sings "accident" instead of "aftermath" in the audio clip

Relative Fiction: [x] [x] [x] [x] does this lots! "honey you're the only thing i'll wait around for" ("--you’re the only thing i’ll wait around for")

Highlight Reel: [x] [x audio only from 1:45 ] original chorus lyrics are 'you feel' but now in one chorus she sings 'to' and the other she sings 'you' "ooh it's a highlight reel / tell me how to feel" ("ooh it's a highlight reel / tell me how you feel")

Ringside: [x] [x] [x audio only from 3:50] two separate lyrics changes in these clips! "like a scratch-off ticket how i dig my nails into your skin" ("like a scratch-off ticket how you dig your nails into my skin")

(from final verse) “nobody deserves a second chance / so why do i keep getting them?” (“nobody deserves a second chance / but i keep giving them”) [x] [x] (from the second last verse) “nobody deserves a second chance / but somehow i keep fucking getting them” (“nobody deserves a second chance / but honey i keep getting them") Anti-Curse: [x] [x] [x] [x] [x] she doesn't always change 'foreign characters' "writing the words to the best love song you've ever heard" ...“sounding out familiar characters” ("writing the words to the worst love song you've ever heard"...“sounding out the foreign characters”)

Favor: [x] [x] [x] [x] first change - changing to 'why?' in most live performances “why couldn’t you make me do it?” (“well you couldn’t make me do it”) [x] [x] new change from MSG in 2023! “how did you make me do it?” (“well you couldn’t make me do it”)

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

Funeral Pyre: [x] this is just a funny thing i found on my hunt. the audience accidentally corrected her grammar, theyre singing along and sing "needed so badly" instead of the original "needed so bad" and everyone took a lil' moment to laugh. Funeral Pyre: allegedly. i just read about it somewhere so have no proof!! “while i drank gasoline 'cause it's what i needed so bad” (“while you drank gasoline 'cause it's what you needed so bad”) Shadowboxing: [x] she doesn't really change any lyrics significantly but repeats the final verse for emphasis.

Good News: [x] (i think an early/demo version but i cant find any other recordings/videos of this version!) "how i fuck up everything i think could be good news" ("how i ruin everything i think could be good news") Rejoice: [x] house show performance from 2015 before official release. a few different lyrics! "ask you why did you let them leave and then force me to stay?" ("asking why did you let them leave and then make me stay?") (final verse) "i rejoice anyway / i rejoice either way" ("i rejoice i rejoice / i rejoice i rejoice") Sour Breath: [x] she added a new mini verse repeating "the harder i swim" where there are usually just instrumentals or 'oohs.' then she continued with the original final "the harder i swim the faster i sink" verse.

Sour Breath: [x] house show performance from 2015 before official release. there's an entire additional verse where the repeated 'the harder i swim the fast i sink' usually is. proceed with caution. "...too late to talk just go to sleep been up too long and you've been drinkin' all night it's almost a week and you haven't said a word been thinkin' it isn't worth the tryin' it takes to fix everything you hate about me all that you wouldn't wanna see

the harder i swim, the faster i sink and all i ever wanted was to pull you down with me was to pull you down with me don't you wanna sink with me? don't you wanna drown with me? just let me pull you down..."

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer
