You ever see a movie and while watching it you think, “This is going to be a cult classic.” I thought this while watching Lisa Frankenstein. In this TedTalk-
if you're not running to ao3 and reading anything eleventy7 has written then what the hell are you doing???? you have not experienced the full extent of literature's beauty until you've read one of their works, alright? why even be literate if you don't read astra inclinant????? personally you can't be considered literate if you haven't read one of eleventy7's works, i'm just saying because oh god their works are divine and life-altering and soul-crushing and strung so beautifully and -
Your hourly reminder to PLEASE listen to the entire AERIAL REBUILD track if you haven’t. It is actually criminal how little of this theme we hear in the show proper.
However much Takashi Ohmama got paid for this it wasn’t enough.
(Synchron Stage Vienna and Clara Solace also deserve praise for the Performance and Lead Vocals respectively !)
the day taylor performs "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" at her concert. i will ascend and pass out right then and there. i don't think my feeble little heart will be able to process it. the lyricism. the beat. her screaming. its a masterpiece. "the circus life made me mean" im gasping for air. i can't.
Miles has such a way with words. The new single is banger and on a personal level i could relate to it so much. All his heartbreak songs are so relatable. He just captures all the pain, hurt, memories in his words. GO FUCKING STREAM "THE WONDER"
5th September 2016 the short film for Lie was released.
youtube
The song has achieved over 160 million streams on Spotify, making its the most-streamed solo song from the WINGS album . Additionally, of the 7 short films from the WINGS album on YouTube, Lie was the first to surpass 1 million likes, and it also has the highest number of views at 18 million.
The Wings album is based on Hermann Hesse’s novel, ‘Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair’s Youth’, a coming of age story that uses myths and references to follow the journey of a young boy to self-realization.
One of the key points of this book is the importance of accepting the duality necessary in life. Lie focuses on the fight between the true, insecure self and the mask that is created to face the world. But that mask is starting to swallow him up.
Sound familiar...
This song is personal to Jimin.
This song is composed beautifully and it portrays a conflicted mind through both its melody and lyrics. I won't pretend to know all the technical music terms but I do know the beat is 6/8 which is an irregular pattern (thanks to Andrew Berg on YouTube) so causes the melody to reflect the confusion and conflicted mind of a person struggling with their identity.
Powerful lyrics make this song an honest portrayal of how overwhelming it is to be continually fighting with your inner demons, insecurities and worries of showing your true self.
“Caught in a lie.
Please find me who was innocent
I can’t free myself from these lies, please bring back my smile"
"I am still the same person I was before
I am here, the same person I was from before but
An overgrown lie is trying to swallow me whole"
“You want me, lost and wandering
You want me just like every day.
I- I feel so far away"
Jimin contributed a lot to the writing and composing of this song and it shows. It shows in the choreography of the performances, the emotion conveyed by the composition of the orchestral music, with the way both the vocals and music vary in intensity and pitch.
This song is a cry for help from being trapped. Just listen to the desperation portrayed in the vocals at 1:23 in the video below, when he is singing "an overgrown lie is trying to swallow me whole"
Jimin is an intelligent man who knows how to express himself verbally, musically and through dance.
The performances of this song are stunning.
The man is a work of art.
This song is dark, it's honest, it's emotional.
The performance is expressive, sexy and Jimin in his element. Using his art to convey a message.
And we can't forget Jungkook's reaction to watching the live performance. Our man was LOST in it, he spent the majority of the time staring at the screen open mouthed and at times with his hands snuggled tightly in his lap 😳.
Not to mention the comment about the shirt 😂
I adore this song and the Jimin we have today is the result of his own personal wrestlings with inner conflicts and identity struggles, insecurities and self doubt.
