All time fav lyrics?
What Kind of Future, Woozi: (this has been in my banner foreverrrr)
“Although I don't wanna see you, I miss you. Although I hate you, I miss you. I don't understand myself so well.”
Ruthlessness, Epic: The Musical:
“The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible So close your heart, the world is dark and Ruthlessness is mercy.” (Although the part of this song where he sings: “you are the worst kind of good cause you’re not even great” has me SCREAMING. EVERY. TIME.
Defying Gravity, Wicked the Musical:
“Too long I've been afraid of Losing love, I guess I've lost. Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost.”
Poison, Poison, Renee Rapp
The outro is so so so so satisfying cause like yeah. Fuck everyone whose ever been a bitch to me
Happy, Lilypichu:
“What's the definition of a good friend? It's hard to tell in this mad race to the end.”
I Don’t Care, Katherine Li:
“Not supposed to be a race. It feels like that anyway. Hearing all of them complain. At least, they're feeling wanted in some way.”

hbomb's blast of james somerton really makes me think back to other older youtubers who have been doing their good work, performing critical research and analyses into niche fields who then had their work plagiarized from their videos and henceforth wanted to stop making content.
yeah and also they got pushback from the internet saying the degree of plagiarism they'd experienced is a made up problem.
this is a sideways post.

"it is the realm beyond, and between, and through, and past the world"
since the release of the character playlists, and the rain road in the arc 1 finale my brain has been absolutely spinning about musicality in the wizard, the witch, and the wild one. and the relationship between music and the spirit realm, and then how that intersects with umora.
because since the beginning there has been this emphasis between the world of spirits and music. eursulon's theme, when we first meet him, before he crosses over, is this beautiful choral music—the first time we hear singing in the show. and then there is your honey is quiet, honey with a note of song. the first diegetic song we hear performed, is sung to honour the spirits.
(edit: eursulon’s breath!!! the thing that brings him back to himself, after it had been lost!!!!)
so i have the rain road on repeat and i'm re-listening to fireside chats and in the one for the first episode brennan describes the world of spirit by saying "it is the world beyond, and between, and through, and past the world" and it reminded me of the scoring. we hear the stories of umora, but beyond, between, through, and past the world; surrounding it, but separate from it is the score. (making me feel like us, the audience, is sitting and existing in the spirit realm. and if it is supernal, if it is what is beyond and between and through and past the world— aren't we?)
but that called to mind eursulon's character playlist, and how it, especially in it's representations of eursulon's early journey, was so instrumental. and that led me to ponder the intersection of music and language. how young eursulon's theme was choral but not lyrical.
the structure of language is the domain of umora.
and how that intersects interestingly with what we have seen of the lingua arcana. suvi's rhythmic somatic components. reflexive indicative and null clef alluding to the structure of grammar and music theory.
and then how the rain road is choral and lyrical, together. the first breaking of that line between the score and the world. connecting, like ame does.
and that is why in the wizard the witch and the wild one ame is a meta narrative representation of musical theatre. in this essay i will—
