#it’s a hopeful yet depressing interp lol. like the song is emotionally devastating but that specific verse is just so…. man

[brookheimer]

none of y’all ever talked enough about how fucking insane the choice of famous blue raincoat by leonard cohen was for connor’s karaoke song

#like…. #it fits in that moment bc its ab a ‘love triangle’ and losing the woman you love and connor’s depressed ab willa #but the song itself is constantly invoking cain & abel #and is so fucking crazy considering the last episode…… #‘what can i tell you my brother my killer / what can i possibly say / i guess that i miss you i guess i forgive you / i’m glad that you #stood in my way’ #banging my head against the wall thinking about trio reunion down the line and this symbolically being kendall addressing roman (my brother) #& shiv (my killer) #it’s a hopeful yet depressing interp lol. like the song is emotionally devastating but that specific verse is just so…. man #‘i’m glad that you stood in my way’…. #i don’t think kendall would ever say that or even acknowledge it to himself but. on some level. it isn’t wrong #also meaningful from a rome perspective too — ken telling rome that it was never gonna bd him that he doesn’t even want it #which is true . but roman can’t admit that #god. why has no one fuckinh talked about how insaaaane it was to have connor sing this in ep2!!!!!!! #succession #leonard cohen #100
