i didn't wanna watch the stand until i saw clips where owen teague gets beat up by a man twice his size and trembles underneath the touch of a woman who he ultimately obeys. that man can play a submissive, freaky, pathetic twink so well

This is it, this is basically sums up what Birds on a Wire is about... thats their whole dynamic

[onceandfuturemoron]

After Samaritan goes online and Team Machine have to split up, They go in two groups. Root and Shaw. And Harold and John. When they part, they turn to look at the other for the last time in a probably loooong time, if not forever. And they have a look of utter sadness and heart break on their faces. Because they hate to let the other go.

and only one of them is an established relationship.

I've been meaning to make this post for a while and I'm finally getting around to it.

In my humblest of opinions, "Ya Got Trouble" from The Music Man is one of the finest musical songs in history. Does it have the most swelling melody, wild harmonies, and an insane finish? No, but a song doesn't need those to be good. And in fact, how good it is despite lacking those traits just further proves how well it was written.

The most distinctive aspect of the song, something that we see a lot in The Music Man, is that there isn't actually a huge amount of singing. It does have music the entire time; the orchestra is chugging along quite excellently. But most of the song is rapid-fire speaking in a slightly sing-song manner. Rhyming doesn't really kick in until near the end, when there's proper singing. This doesn't make the song less engaging, however. In my opinion, this makes the song more interesting. Sometimes, proper musical songs can be boring. If you've listened to enough of them, you can predict the melody or the lyrics. But you can't do that with "Ya Got Trouble", because it doesn't have rhyming or much melody.

Tied into the sing-song speaking is the fact that it is a very difficult piece to perform from a technical standpoint! The speaking has to be at a specific pace and tone that takes a LOT of work. I've heard the song a million times and even memorized much of the lyrics, but the only parts of the song I can reliably perform along with when listening are when it slows down. Harold Hill is talking FAST. But he also has to be CLEAR. Combining speed, enunciation, and acting takes practice and skill.

Despite the singing not kicking in until the end, there's still a sort-of chorus, and it's the part that people who've heard the song know best. "Trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool!" It's so dang memorable and distinctive. The wording in general is done so well. It really does come off as it's supposed to: a conman playing to his audience until he has them eating out of his hands.

In addition, while a lot of the song contains cultural references that can be difficult for modern-day audiences to catch (the musical was written in 1957 and takes place in 1912), the general message still comes across incredibly well. You don't need to have heard of "Captain Billy's Whiz Bang" before to understand that it's some joke book full of "inappropriate" content for kids, because the song provides the context. With how many specific cultural references there are in the song, it's no small feat that the song is still intelligible.

Finally, and I'll admit this is a bit of a personal thing here, but when the singing does kick in near the end it's in the classical musical style. Nothing against the sound of modern musicals, but I do so enjoy the classical style you hear in pieces like Annie Get Your Gun, The Music Man, and The Sound of Music. Timeless harmonies and melodies.
