#god i love his music!!!! and the lyrics are always so OUGH.

[honeyviscera]

aaaaah i reallly need to read kara no kiouku (eve's manga series) because i absolutely adore the inochino tabekata music video, which features the main character, and with the release of thefight song mv, which expands upon the rich world this character lives in and fleshes it out it really creates a beautiful narrative, i am in love with those two mv's and the story they tell and the worldbuilding and the character design and the stroy being told in them. also watching them sequentially (inochino tabekata first and fight song next) the way the songs themselves sound really very nicely complemet each other with inochino tabekata having a bit of a darker feel and fight song being comparatively upbeat and energetic but still maintaining a very similar vibe. and to know that they're based off of his manga????? i need to read it. i have been planning to read it. also i've heard that hitotsume (reoccuring character in his mv's and featured heavily in his live action/animated movie adam by eve i love hitotsume he's silly) is a character in the manga as well and i juust. everything referenced in his music videos is all tied togehter in this series and AUGH I NEED TO READ IT. i need to see which othe reoccurring characters i keep seeing in his mv's are in the manga i need to find out the root of the references being made i need to have one of those bulletin board with the red thread where i am tying everything together and looking like that one meme w that guy. that needs to be me with kara no kioku and the eve mv's and adam by eve. hjcghfdvkjglbj;flkn;gmfhvdgcsjfbvdhcvjfgkbjlgk;hk';kjnkhbugtfyrydctugfhlvj;blinkgfb;nmkvlbxcjhvugilh;ojfhdugvsodlhibkvj;lsbuguhiodjk;lkvfigubhvljk;divfjhupbvi'j;fjvbidfhvkjlk;cksjfvhkldsjljdvj;lsdkjgh;jsdh;khsjklfhklgefhjv;jfnkvfnjdspk;hnjhfkjdfvbnsnslkdnslkjjksljkvhkjfvlsjkfbvkjf;vbbvildksjbvkjlbvfdkljfnlkdvjbslkjdgkjlndkjbnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnhgjhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

it’s been a while back so i’m w more song analysis!! this is too long i’m warning u now. in fact this might not even be readable im so sorry it’s just. so much rambling 😭

when memories snow (more mitski mm also i got tickets for her tour and i will not shut up ab it!!! she’s so cool!!!!!!!) is incredibly tim coded. the very sinister chords at the chorus, really makes you *feel* him spiralling - and the LYRICS ugh very ‘i’m trying to ignore/suppress my memories but they keep coming back against my will’ slash ‘bottling up all my feelings and forging on with my work. pretending they don’t exist’

hate yourself by tv girl is very nina x kate (in the sense of kate watching nina destroy herself for a man who does not even like her) ough. ‘i think you’d fall in love with anyone who fell in love with you / and they frequently do’ BC KATE DID!! kate fell in love with her!! also ‘i’ll just wait til those arms belong to me’ is so subtly manipulative which is very. yeah. kate’s definitely not perfect and i wouldn’t put her above being like that if she really wanted to. + the deceptively happy instrumental with vaguely dark lyrics = nina being overly outgoing and social to make up for the fact that her mental state is in absolute shambles (poor bby)

the wolf by siamés is both tim and brian but i think leans more brian (what is it with this man that makes me think of ‘walking music’. ykwim? the chain, the wolf, house of the rising sun all remind me of him. all very slow-threatening-determined-walk songs) once again, driving beat, heavy bassline. (i play bass guitar so i love a song w an interesting bass part) i think shows resilience as well as grounding - imo he’s always been one of the more mature / level-headed creeps, to the point he’s very self aware. this man knows exactly what he’s doing at all times. ‘somewhere far away i can hear your call’ even in the future when he thinks he’s escaped from slender he knows deep down he’ll never be truly free…. yes ok

keep myself alive by get scared for jane. she’s so angry - AS SHE SHOULD BE and i feel it’s just a audible version of her rage. ‘i just wanna leave this place behind / everytime i see your face in mine’ because her and jeff have the same burned face thing going on…….. ough. she can never escape from the man who ruined her life. the guitar shifting from this melancholy, reverb-y tone in the verses to the loud distortion in the chorus reflecting her mood shifting from self-pity to raw anger

bonus: class of 2013 by mitski x toby

i should rlly make a playlist for each creep but i use musi not spotify 💔

- 🌙 anon

sorry for making u read all of this ❤️

anon. oh my god. i need you to know how often i think about this ask. and how guilty i feel knowing i shouldve responded forever ago but kept putting it off. im going to respond now with shame. thank you so much for your patience. my god

when memories snow for tim is soooo real. i associate him with a longing for life before slendy, while also repressing it cuz it hurts knowing itll never ever come back. going to bars, hanging out in his friends apartments, going to class, late night driving... "I shovel all those memories, clear the path to drive to the store" i think even the imagery of him shoveling snow out of a driveway gives off that sort of strong, cold idea of him. and 'drive to the store' obv being...proxy work... SO SAD

ALSO FUCK NINAKATE MENTION IM IN TEARS ok listen. theyre both really bad. and i super agree that kate might be a bit deceptive and manipulative (intentionally or not) cuz she wants nina to completely remove jeff and take his place (NOT HIS ROLE, just his place in ninas arms). also "how long will it take before you start to hate yourself and go straight to the arms of someone else" i think its undeniable that ninas obsession with romance is related to her own self image, and kate doesnt really like herself that much either. "im not saying that you love me, im not saying anything" OHH BUT SHE WANTS NINA SOOO BAD... man.

also im absolutely in love with how you take the sound itself into account, not just lyrics. the way you explain the wolf connecting to brians determination, reslience, and grounding presense is SOOO PERFECT and i can see it in the first few lyrics as well. the also "sneaking in the pain, every truth becomes lie / i wont trust myself once i hear your call" THATS TIM AND BRIAN COME ON GUYS DO YOU HEAR THIS

also i love keep myself alive. i heavily agree she has every right to be angry, and thats a core part of her character - rage, grief, strength. "to sleep i of course think i'm stronger now / to sleep i gotta catch myself" im crying. the sleep menton + she feels alone. she has a support system, a literal wife, but she still holds all of her grief on her own shoulders. who the fuck else can relate to being violently stalked for months, walking in on your parents being tortured together, being attacked, nearly burnt alive, then LOSING your parents? also "how could this dark cloud make me stronger now" i think a lot of people would have told her that her experience made her a survivor and made her strong and whatnot. but i dont think she feels that way. i think she feels like a victim, she feels tortured, she feels like that same little girl who'd sleep in her parents bed after a nightmare - but this isnt a nightmare she can wake up from. her parents bed burnt to ashes. there is relief in just letting yourself grieve and hurt - but she's so beyond focused on being strong. and it doesnt make sense to her. doesnt make sense how she can be strong after all of that . but she is, cuz she has to be

ALSO YES OH MY FUCKING GOD CLASS OF 2013 DFUCK FUCKFUCKF FIFJF FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK i dont even need to explain why this gets me. yall already know. my god

[spacedykez]

my favorite things about epic the musical

but now we'll be the ones who ✨SLAY✨

i love how fast and intense the part where ody's giving orders is

the soldiers' little "WHOO"s after ody's lines OUGHHHH

*hawk screech* A VISION

"I know that I'm ready!! // I don't think you're ready..."

ody's voice is so SOFT when he's singing "it's just an infant"

zeus's voice is so deep. it fits him

the backing vocals on "if you don't end him now you'll have no one left to save // penelope!!"

ody & zeus's duet. no more needs to be said

"PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS, DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS" sobs. ough.

"is the price i pay endless pain?" yeah. seems like it. i mean the odyssey makes sure to remind us that you have endured "much suffering" like fifty times so.

the second repetition of "when does a comet become a meteor" with the whole chorus singing....

"and ithaca's waiting!!" is such a satisfying line for some reason

"PENELOPE'S WAITING!!" they have the best relationship of anyone Ever actually.

the men singing "captain, what's the plan?" so satisfying

"we're up we're off and away we go!" yayyyyy

"captain! :D" "polities! :D" (dont talk to me SOBS)

this whole song is just so great tbh.

I LOVE when ody and the men are singing together. so fun. idk why its just satisfying

jungle noises!! also the beat to Open Arms is just SOOOOO very nice i don't know why something about the drums is just so very /pos though

the lotus-eaters' voices are very fun tbh. i love the overlapping vocals. they sound like Creechurs /pos

when the lotus-eaters go "oooooh!" after polites' lines >>>>

the high flute/whatever it its thats playing the melody of athena's lyrics as she sings them? oughh >>>>>

"Let's go!!"

ody's smug little "ha-ha-ha-ha"

you can HEAR the smile in athena's voice when ody tricks her. like. ooh yes this one this is my favorite mortal.

"nah, don't be modest, i know you're a goddess" >>>

i just LOVE how ody sings "you are ATHENA badass in the ARENA unmatched witty AND QUEEN OF the best stra-te-gies we've seen"

ody's little "ohkay" after athena's "we'll see where it ends." god he sounds so just. blorbo. in this song. yknow. hes just so smug cat /aff

warrior of the mind, just, like, in GENERAL, is great

THE ARROW FLYING AT THE START OF POLYPHEMUSSSS

"WHO ARE YOU." you can HEAR the oh shit

i love ody and the Cyclops' whole exchange. just something about it.

i love the cyclops' voice filter? whatever he's got goin on. very cool

"hey cyclops do you know what's better than eating me? GETTING DRUNK!!! yeah trust me dude youll NEVER wanna eat me now"

i appreciate him repeating "nobody" three times so absolutely NO ONE can miss it.

"I'm so glad we see eye to eye" hehe. cause. yeah.

"what..? WATCH OUT!!" >>>>>>

THE BEAT HERE GOES FUCKING CRAZYYYYYYY /pos

the whole not exactly call-and-repeat thing that ody and his men do during this song. just. man i love this musical.

when the men r singing in the background of ody singing >>>>

"captain..?" POLITESSSSSSSS :((((((((

the BANGING... like. its so emotional /pos.

the cyclops singing a version of the song ody and his men were singing before >>>>>

the sort of focusing-in thing at the start of Remember Them? i dont know. its just very satisfying

remember them is just a great song all around. amazing. 10/10 no notes

i lied i have notes. i LOVE the guitar riff thing? that happens around when ody says "SCATTER"

"captain" "wait" >>>>>

the cyclops sounds so SAD when hes saying "don't go! :("

"my comrades will not DIIIIII-EEE-IEEEE in vain." they always say it like "diii-EEEE-iiiiiieeee" and its very funny

the line "selfish and prideful and vain" is so funny after reading the odyssey. this goddess raised your child for you and saved your life like 1932094234 times. have some goddamn respect. gods.

"YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A MENTOR I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A FRIEND!" callbacks to previous songs >>>>>>

"wiser, why's your" love that. (sounds alike)

the little stuttering the music does at the end of this song!!! so satisfying.

[thekidsarentalright]

HI ATLAS! I will start by saying 1. thank you for the mania lyrics and 2. Those specific mania lyrics out of all of them are soooososososo correct. You are possibly the only person in the world who Gets it.

Anyways. I will eventually have to sit down and type up my elaborate Mania Hilson Crossover Analysis soon BUT… in the meantime I would ask for but one more favor if you are so inclined!

Theres this silly little band called The Toxhards who I am in Love with and they have this one song that is like. It was WRITTEN about House and Wilson I swear to god. It’s called OxyContin and I would implore you PLEASE give it a listen or at least find the lyrics because. It is ALLLLL about House and Wilson’s codependency and how Wilson keeps enabling House and GRRAAAHHHH

So anyways I am trusting you with my silly little song because I know you feel similarly So Normal about hilson and I hope you enjoy the song / share in my delusions 🫶

-🪸

HIIIIII BESTIE :3!!! u are so so welcome for the mania lyrics, so glad i picked correct goods one <3 truly if no one else out there in the world Gets something fob i always will <3 i live inside their heads fr <3 fkdsjnfksj

i am always inclined to do any favor ofc ofc!!! esp while waiting for that elaborate analysis i am SO excited for it omg but. in the meantime. went and read the lyrics and listened to the song and ough. oh my godddd bestie how is this THEE most hilson song of all time... specifically the fact the song says "don't feel guilty, everybody dies"???? literally this song is so. wilson enabling house and how house is like a drug to wilson and they can't ever get enough of each other no matter how bad it is, for them. any song w a drug metaphor is SO them tbh but this one especially damn u are so real for this!!!! thank u for sharing that with me i love when ppl share music with me :,) and i so so do enjoy the song AND share in ur delusions, as i always will we are of one mind fr fr <33

lastly!! since you shared a hilson song w me- i implore You to go listen to hurt me harder by zolita, to me it is Very much like. the most negative toxic depths of their relationship. and it is so them and it makes me cwazy x

[rotisseries]

sorry abt to infodump tlou2 soundtrack shit lmao I just LOVE music soundtracks idk why I can understand them better than shit with lyrics (probably the tone deaf and takes-everything-literal problem kfmske). ANYWAYS--

"eye for an eye" is played during the Manny and Abby vs Tommy scene and it's so interesting because it has the pulsing effect that I've related to Abbys trauma, her revenge and such. THERE IS THE LITTLEST BIT OF GUITAR, which guitar always reminds me of joel and this IS his brother, tommy. AND THE FACT THE SONG IS NAMED "eye for an eye" WHEN TOMMY SHOOTS MANNY THROUGH THE EYE, AND LATER WHEN ABBY SHOOTS TOMMY HES SHOWN TO HAVE SCARRING OVER HIS EYE. JUST. OH MY GOD.

The song that has muchhh much more pulsing is "the cycle of violence" I'm sure it appears in other places but it's what's prominent in the theater fight. "the cycle continues" is the end fight and holy SHIT yeah its fucking nuts. The pulsing sounds like a clock to me like its really ticking down to the end. I'm going insane over it.

"All gone (the promise)" IS SUCH A SAD FUCKING PIECE ITS JUST SOME SLOW STRING INSTRUMENTS BUT TIED WITH THAT NAME. WITH GUITAR TOO BEING PLAYED NEXT TO A VIOLIN. LIKE ITS LITERALLY ALL IN THE NAME. JOELS ALL GONE. ITS A PROMISE. ELLIES ALL GONE. ITS A PROMISE. FUCKING HELL

"beyond desolation" follows a guitar more. It is the end song of ellie leaving the house it makes me sick. It just confirms guitar is always for joel and the fact other pieces have HINTS of guitar, but THIS gets to lead the song is maddening.

If I listen to it longer and if you want me to ill share more lmao I'm not really GREAT with music but I'm so interested in it regardless

OUGH NO I LOVE HEARING ABOUT GOOD SOUNDTRACKS GLOOMY I'M SHAKING YOU I AM LOSING MY MIND MY LIFE WOULD BE HAPPIER IF YOU HADN'T TOLD ME ALL OF THIS
