Lucky Again Lyrics

"If you believe that guy is Superman There selling tickets at the cinema"

Imagine if Louis sang

"If you believe that guy is Superman

They're selling tickets to the restaurant!

SC tried to force a band reunion on the back of Louis’ personal lowest moment of his life. I wanna vomit https://x.com/cbr_1dgirl/status/1803693661198360654?s=46

WTF?! There’s soooo much to unpack.

speaking of danger days, ive been reading a bunch of critical reviews/bad rym scores/blog posts about the response to dd (introducing a friend to it after we talked about bladerunner) and I find the just. complete inability to take the project as art engaged in meaning-building soooooo fascinating im not even mad. the second a synth is heard the entire effort is reduced to something lesser, only made with the intention of fun. even defenses of it refuse to take it seriously as like. a project which is using pop convention, form, sci-fi world-building, etc to commentate. or even that it is actually depressing lmao. but the narrative around an electronically minded followup to a magnum opus is basically "sell-out" catnip even if that makes literally zero sense/they scrapped an entire album before this project. people will simply create their own interpretation!

can argue to death with me about how age restrictions on youtube are necessary but i will be DAMNED before i say Hinds Hall deserved to be age restricted. average american child on youtube can listen to H*rbu D*rbu (censoring in hopes to avoid algorithm engagement with the song) which is IOF praising genocidal propaganda, and- big fucking shocker- its not age restricted. i’m 100% sure the only reason Hind’s Hall was restricted was to deliberately suppress and avoid the spread of the song.

many reputable music publications have crunched the numbers and determined that the amount of adblock-free eyeballs glass beach could bring to them with one courtesy retweet is worth whatever meager sum they’re paying some poor freelancer to paraphrase our press release. i think thats beautiful and reflects positively upon my value as a human being

BACK TO YOU

I read something where they analysed "Back to You" and wrote that it was about Louis returning to music, that it was about management and the music industry. I wish I reblogged it but it could have been on X.

I cannot unhear that now.

Makes sense that Louis turned it into a rock song and added it to the FITF set list because most of the songs on FITF are a big Fuck You to management and the music industry.

I also think I Love HIM makes even more sense now because he loves him despite all management and the music industry have done.

Thoughts?

Wait, is the anon not only saying what we’ve been saying all along but also that Olivia Wilde negotiated a tattoo in exchange for not getting a fake marriage proposal? Why did they have to out Louis and Harry at the end? 🥲

I don’t know what to think, but it makes me hate the music industry so much more.

Also how is Tumblr allowing an 8min video upload?! 👀

I wish I had a time machine to travel back to 2008 to tell this beautiful boy to live his life how he wants. Don't be pushed into hiding behind an image, if it means your band are never world famous, so be it. Nothing is worth giving up your self identity, or the chance to fuck up in your twenties like we all do but most of us don't have the world watching us.

Most of all don't sacrifice the love you have for your own beautiful boy because record company execs and management and all the people who want to make money from you know that you will sell a lot more tickets and records if you're seen as straight.

What is seen as cute and 'finding yourself' at twenty two, is seen as suspicious when you're pushing forty. People will mock you and the nudge nudge wink winks will start.

Stardom isn't worth that. Your three 'brothers' will be fine. Make your music with Miles and make yourself happy.
