The songs of Young Royals - S1E2 & E3

And I'm back with another song analysis article ^^ You can find the first one (in which I covered the songs from S1E1) here. I'm gonna do 2 episodes in this post because there are not many songs in episodes 2 and 3!

No tomorrow, Ty Frankett, Stephane Lo Jacomo and Myariag Summers

I'll be in my feels They know I'm the truth When I'm pullin' up I'm bulletproof I don't really care 'bout the rules The most cool Wilhelm has ever looked ^^ He was all blushing and stressed during lunch about what almost happened with Simon, but here he's collected, alone but looking like he doesn't care and just plays it cool. He's the Prince so I guess it's true that the "rules" don't really apply to him but is he "bulletproof"? Unfortunately the whole debacle that is gonna happen with the sex video will prove that statement wrong... (We also know that most of the students at Hillerska don't care that much about the rules, and August says it himself: they could "murder someone and nobody would say a word")

ALPHA, Yung Titties

ABC I'm the alpha bitch If you wanna know who runs this shit ABC I'm the alpha bitch When I'm in a car, I'm driving When I'm on a date, I'm buying Yes girls!! They run this shit ^^ I like that they choose this song when we see the 4 girls hanging out together. I do like them (Felice, Stella, Frederika and Madison) (putting Sara on the side because *complicated feelings*) They're far from perfect but compared to most of the guys in the school, they're pretty cool. I love Felice and how smart/nice/strong she is, and I love her friendship with Wilhelm later on. I hope she'll become even more badass in season 3!! And Madison is the best (and one of the few people in this school who is not terrible to Simon). The song stops as soon as August arrives and takes a chair to sit next to Wilhelm: because yeah, he's not an "alpha". I like that Madison and Felice don't take shit from August: when he starts mocking Simon and Sara (after Felice invites them to the movie night), they immediately tell him off. Then we see Vincent and Nils join August and start bothering the girls (throwing gums/candies at them) and they're not impressed: it's a very short scene but it highlights the fact that they're not interested in their stupid behavior. It's also the episode in which we see the difference between the girls and the boys when it comes to their relationships: we learn at the beginning that Madison and Nils hooked up during the party, but also that Nils was bragging about it and giving the experience a 9/10 while Madison admits doing it mostly because she was bored and not being at all into Nils. We also see August pursuing Felice who is not interested at all. Who run the world? Girls!!

Äter upp dig, Maxida Märak

Nu ska vi leka hela världen är våran Huh inga hinder är för svåra Flyger över alla jag är lätt som en fjäder Strike like a pro BDSM läder Good boys gone bad Alla ser rött King Kong gone mad Jag är blöt du är naken Okay so it's a bit hard to do this one because it's in Swedish and I'm definitely not there yet with this language ^^' From what I understand with the translated lyrics, it's quite a "sexy" song (with some violent undertones: being a wolf, being naked, being wet, good boys gone bad, etc.). The first sentences are about playing and how they have the whole world, which is interesting because it's the parents day at Hillerska and we are introduced to a lot of upper class people, people who have a lot of money and power. In this sense, they are the people who can use the world as a playground: they have the means for that. They're rich and powerful, they're above. The lyrics are also about getting angry though, "seeing red, King Kong gone mad": a little nod to Simon and Sara being pebbles that are gonna throw the whole machinery off? During the lunch, Sara is going to mess up Felice's family with the riding issue (and they're the richest family apparently!). Wilhelm is also gonna upset the order by not sitting at August's table but choosing instead the one table with a family that doesn't belong to Hillerska's upper class environment. So I guess yeah, things aren't going to go that well. And to top it off, August is gonna learn that his family is in fact broke! Oh, how the rich and mighty have fallen...

Hillerska Song

Hope and faith wherever we roam As we make our way back home Oh, we meet with open hearts Another one in Swedish but with the English subtitles directly in the show so it makes it easier to understand ^^ Simon and Wilhelm look SO happy and smiling and smitten in this scene 💜 I like the idea of making their "way back home" because they're not there yet, but they're getting there: being a safe space, being home for each other. And yeah in this scene they still have "open hearts", because Erik has not died yet, because the sex tape hasn't been made/released yet, because none of the awful stuff that is going to make them close in on themselves has happened yet. And Wilhelm is so cute and happy (and it's gonna become very rare to see him like that afterward) that this song deserves another picture ^^

rewatching young royals s1e2... initial thoughts

interesting to see simon relatively cheerfully banging the table along with the rest of the boys, urging nils up onto his chair

interesting to see madison get on the chair and tell about her hookup with nils when in s2 we see her totally disinterested in sharing her sexual history with her closest friends

loling at wille saying bye to this guy whom we never see him interact with again

#17 Young Royals

Plot: William is a prince of Sweden and after a big public fight his mother, the reigning Queen, feels that she needs to take control of the situation. He's being sent to the prestigious boarding school Hillerska. There he meets Simon, a common boy from the local town, who together with his sister are the only pupils who doesn't live at the school. They might not have that much in common, but a sweet lovestory takes place. This turns out to be bigger and more problematic than either of them could ever imagined.

Years: 2021-2024

Seasons: 2 (third and last season arriving to Netflix in March).

My story: When I first saw the first season of Young Royals, something changed in me. This was something new; it was young, queer, dramatic - and Swedish. Seeing the series take the world by storm made me a little proud. Even though I might not have these very strong feelings anymore I'll always love and be thankfull for this.

Teachable moments: Your friends might not be who you think. Loyalty sometimes comes with reservations.

Best character: Sara is Simon's slightly older sister and the reason they changed from the local public school to Hillerska. Her autistic straightness makes her an easy target for bullies, but at Hillerska she learns what real friendship can look like. I like the representation she stands for and how she stands firmly with loyalty and honesty.

Best episode: Episode #1.2 (S1E2). "Wilmon's" relationship is sprouting and the new love is just as beutiful as young love should be.

Best quote: "All the people are fake, they're made of metal, but I like you, and that's not fake." (Wille)

Fun fact: The first song Simon sings with the choir in the first episode is my all time favourite song, originally made by swedish glam rock band The Ark, the band of my life. You can see how I fell head over heels after that. It's about living your life and having the courage to be yourself. Omar, who plays Simon, have an amazing voice, is a recording artist himself and used to be a part of swedish boyband FO&O.

What is up with the endings of the young royals episodes?

Like seriously, was the writers only goal to give me as much pain as they possibly could? I mean really:

s1e1: “let’s just gaze longingly into each others eyes while I make fun of your name”

s1e2: “let’s make out in secret, but not, like, process and deal with it like normal people”

s1e3: “I will pepper in the fact that your brother is dead”

s1e4: (a la phineas and ferb) “mom! Wille forgot to close the goddamn curtains and now august has a video of wille and Simon!”

s1e5: “oh fuck a s** tape got posted of us what do we do now”

s1e6: “I love you” “hope you have a nice Christmas”

Honestly, guys, it’s like they want to hurt us

Did the scene at the beginning of Young Royals s1e2 remind anyone else of the “Tell Me More” song/montage in Grease? Deffff reminded me of that. somebody make a gifset??

[tana-d]

forbidden fruit is so much sweeter. Wilhelm greedily kisses Simon feeling allowed to do this for real. they jump into this. such an emotional, hungry to each other
