Just practicing my lyrical analysis to prepare myself for a project. Do not mind me
There are a lot of parallels between poetry and song lyrics but there are some crucial differences as well.
One is obviously the presence of music. Some poems work wonderfully when you throw a beat behind them but many do not. The deeper you go into poetry the more you start to realize that it is a visual medium as well as a verbal one. song lyrics cannot very well play with their typography to convey ideas because it is an auditory format.
Another is delivery. Some poetry is structured so that it can only be delivered with a certain meter which influences the interpretation but you are left without vocal tone to indicate anything. Some examples in songs might be Chappell Roan's vocal 'cracks' in Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl as she constantly shifts between her head voice and her chest voice to create these desperate sounding yells to convey her intense yearning. Or the way Thom Yorke opens the song 15 Step with a severe mumble and almost a whimper and at the end of the song he delivers the final line crisply and firmly. We have a sense of change in the narrator of the song, our subject becoming resolute.
Now as this relates to lyricism, let's talk about what we mean. Songs do not have a lot of time to get their meaning across so we use things like vocal tone, instrumentation, and reference to speed up the process for the listener and also provide color to your canvas. I'm going to break down two examples.
Chevelle is a hard rock band known for their cynical lyrics. One of my absolute favorite songs by them is Hats Off to the Bull. Before we even listen to the song, what does that bring to mind?
"Hats off" is a phrase typically used to signify that you are showing respect to someone, often when they had no chance but tried their best. In what situations would this apply to a bull? We have two major sports that fit: Bullfighting and Rodeos. Either one works here so I'll go with fighting.
We already have the thesis of the song. The bull can never truly win. It is trapped by the spectacle of the sport. Even if he defeats the matador, he faces more fights and ultimately slaughter (for the record, I am speaking to the common layman conception of bullfighting, there are many traditions and nuance). A "hats off" to the bull is acknowledgement that he fought as hard as he could despite having no hope for success. Winning the battles, losing the war etc etc.
And if we listen to the song, yeah that's the feeling they explore. And the delivery of the line is harsh, strained, it's *angry*. It makes you feel like the singer is watching this Injustice and cannot do anything about it aside from salute the bull for trying its best despite its hopelessness.
That is a single line as the title of the song and the first line of the chorus. it carries so much meaning and emotion while being five single syllable words. it carries that meaning by referencing an activity many are at least generally aware of and the common gesture of removing your hat in respect. it is not a difficult set of dots to connect but it is very well crafted so that you can connect those dots and also save some words for the lyricist.
Next up is the song Submarine by L'imperatrice.
If we try the same analysis, we look at the word submarine and think pressurized vessel deep underwater. Doesn't really tell us much because it's just one word. But wait, what is the album? Tako Tsubo, which is a stylizing of the term Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy or broken heart disease. Combined, maybe we are dealing with what happens when a pressurized vessel ruptures?
Pretty close. They don't talk about the actual rupture, just the idea of having this pressurized shell that the world sees without knowing what's going on inside.
So we have a song about the social pressure to not express yourself whenever you are sad (or any other non-happy emotion) and also the pressure that builds up inside you as a result of that. We are looking at a situation where people are turning themselves into pressure vessels that could erupt catastrophically. That last part is never said directly in the song but keep that submarine terminology in mind because nowhere in the song is the word submarine said.
Rather, every line of the chorus *rhymes* with submarine which primes you to think about the title in relation to the lyrics, it primes you to make that imagery yourself. The song also does not talk about the consequences of too much pressure building up, you have to know that is a risk with submarines.
Building on that, most of the verses are sung in a reserved kind of low-key tone. these are the lyrics that discuss vulnerabilities and feelings. When we get to the chorus, there is a shift to what almost sounds like the singer is straightening her back and projecting confidence as she sings about having this strong outer shell that's not revealing any emotions. The doubling of her vocals is also more prominent here which makes it sound like multiple people are expressing the same idea. After all, she says at the beginning of the song that everyone shares that same view, they only show what they want to. This projected confidence in the chorus with the vocals layered on top of themselves conveys that same idea. Everyone is saying this to themselves.
Another aspect of the submarine is that it is a lonely vessel. Once you are underwater and inside this capsule, you can't very well invite someone else in. The inherent loneliness of how society handles sadness is present here. Am I the only one who was born to be blue? it feels like that because everyone else is hiding their sadness so you feel like you are the only sad person.
My favorite part of the song plays directly into all of these feelings together when the chorus ends. That projected confidence comes through with the line "I don't need to say goodbye" and it instantly collapses when she asks the genuine heartfelt question with a waver in her voice "do I?"
Once again, we have very straightforward concepts and they are very easy to interpret because the lyricist and the musicians structured their song very well to deliver them and make them digestible to the listener. You don't have to try hard to pull these concepts out because they did a good job writing them. They are also able to impart nuance to this theme by leaning on reference and tone. not only can you grasp the song but you can also do deep readings and still pull information out. it is simple and complex.
Both of these examples could work as poetry but it is the instrumentation and delivery that gives them deeper color in the same way that many poems could not just be translated to songs specifically because you would have to come up with your own tone and instrumentation which would recolor what is on the page.
With this in mind, I'm curious to see if any of these things are explored in the tor/tur/ed po/ets depar/tme/nt. since people hail TAS as a great lyricist, I anticipate being able to tease out some of these differences in her upcoming work. I suppose we'll see. yeah, it's probably unfair to go into an album with predetermined expectations, I'm not demanding that this album work in this space but I do expect to be able to perform a similar level of analysis on it.

Ahead of Album Release L’Impératrice Bring New Music to Sold-Out Racket
Tumblr media
L’Impératrice – Racket – April 9, 2024
L’Impératrice are one of those bands that feel like a secret. I imagine there were some people looking around the very sold-out Racket on a Tuesday night wondering how everyone else was also in on it, but once the music started, there was clearly no way to contain the word on the French indie-disco band. In fact, this was the first of two sold-out shows in NYC this week, with two more dates at the much bigger Terminal 5 in September, one of which is already sold out.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The band took the stage promptly at 9: six members on guitar, bass, drums, a pair of keyboards, all fronted by lead singer Flore Benguigui, all wearing light-up medallions flashing to the music as they dropped into “Cosmogonie.” It would be one of several songs featured on their upcoming LP, Pulsar, due out in June, the first of many crowd-quaking beat drops almost immediate, Benguigui’s French vocals echoing as she did an old-school robot dance to the pulsing rhythms and throwback synthesizers from bandleader Charles de Boisseguin. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other tracks off the new album included singles “Me Da Igual,” with its dreamlike groove, and the just-released “Danza Marilù,” featuring some melodic twists and a grandiose bridge. “Peur des filles” (translation: afraid of girls), off their 2021 album, Tako Tsubo, was a cross between Funkadelic and Madonna with threatening pink strobes and a dark funk. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Heartquake,” a standalone single from 2023, showed the range of their sound with nifty tempo changes leading to a driving rhythmic close. In the crowd it was just a continuous dance party, most songs flowing one into another, in particular, a slick exchange from “Voodoo?” — with Benguigui repeating the English lyric “Can I resist this?” — into “Submarine” without missing a beat. Before they knew it, it was the last dance, the set closing with another new song, “Sweet & Sublime,” complete with some low-end synth bombs that rattled the walls of the club and maybe beyond, the felt-by-all call of the worst kept secret in town.  —A. Stein | @Neddyo

I thought Intuition would help me disconnect from work, but turns out not! So here's the attempt at diagnosing Gabriel's Cataclysm-induced heart condition that nobody asked for (It's ok, I need the revision anyway)
Firstly, I want to point out that what we hear when Nathalie/Tomoe listen to Gabriel's heart sounds more like what you get on a heart ultrasound rather than what you'd even without a stethoscope (you can hear severe heart conditions without the latter, btw, sometimes without just pressing your ear against the person's chest)
Anyway, what we hear isn't a normal heartbeat, that's for sure; it's irregular, for one, and instead of hearing the two normal heart sounds (B1-B2), the erratic heartbeat seems to go B1-B2-B3-B4. That's a sign of severe heart failure, probably because the heart is being deprived of oxygen from the destruction of the surrounding tissue. Plus, given that Gabriel's been using Second Chances for ages in "his" timeline, it's a distinct possibility that his heart has tried adapting to this, and while changes in heart (and general organ) structure are helpful short-term to compensate for its dysfunction, they're generally harmful in the long-run, contributing to the worsening of the condition.
The hypotesis of heart-failure from ischemia is further supported by Gabriel's sudden chest pain at the end of the episode, associated with shortness of breath, which is very typical. In real life, given Gabriel's age, that would definitely require a call to the local emergency call service (dial 15 in France, it's the equivalent of 911 in the US or 999 in the UK), even if it's just to eliminate a heart dysfunction... Although obviously, in the context of the show, I don't see how Gabriel would accept to be taken to the ER in his state, it would be a fairly anticlimactic Monarch reveal if Adrien discovered the truth from his father wearing a hospital blouse 😅

random anguish thought of the day
There is a syndrome called broken heart syndrome or tako-tsubo syndrome (causing damage to a person's heart by experiencing severe emotional pain)
Ok, now imagine that Jason and Lj's hearts could also suffer some kind of damage, for example, that cracks appear in their music boxes when they feel terrible emotional pain
For example, after watching their partners die in their arms, cracks appear in their music boxes due to the emotional trauma they suffered that cannot be repaired, as a physical representation of the traumas.
That would be extra extra sad and emotional. I would actually feel incredibly bad for the amount of actual physical pain that would cause them as well, considering their boxes are a part of them and the one thing keeping each of them alive

28-Agosto-2023.
Día 1 contacto cero.
Siento como el corazón se me termino de destrozar, formalmente lo llamamos Síndrome de Tako-tsubo, mortalmente conocido como síndrome del corazón roto.
Sentí como mi alma se fue a buscar desesperadamente la tuya porque no quise levantarme ese día de la cama, pero al final… agarre fuerzas de quien sabe donde y fui a trabajar, hinchada y sin poder visualizar un futuro mañana, termine mi jornada.
En el transcurso del día conte sin exagerar 9 carros semejantes a los tuyo, visualice a 5 personas con camisas azules como las que usas en tu trabajo, y en mi otro trabajo escuche 14 veces tu nombre, o al menos uno de tus dos nombres.
El apetito salió de mi cuerpo como saliste ese último día que nos vimos, con prisa y sin ganas de volver… aunque el apetito si volvió, en el fondo sigo esperando que tu vuelvas (pero lo niego mucho para que se me haga mas llevadero lo pesado del día)
Con harto desespero desenterré la última pizca la esperanza y me la guardé en el pecho para que no se muriera, por eso te deje el mensaje de las flores amarillas (todavía las espero… esperanza… ¿recuerdas?).
Pie pequeño… el amor verdadero no es el que sabe soltar, irse, y alejarse. El amor verdadero es el que sabe reconocer, aceptar, perdonar y mejorar, ¿que te da miedo de volver a intentarlo?, ¿como fue que pasamos de apego evitativo al ansioso, ahora soy la ansiosa y tu… evitativo?.

Il se peut que le chagrin soit aussi lié à l’amitié ou au travail. Il existe également une maladie qui est proche de la crise cardiaque appelée le Tako-Tsubo. Elle représente le syndrome du cœur brisé

Broken Heart syndrome
DAS TAKO-TSUBO-SYNDROM  “Wer kennt das Tako-Tsubo-Syndrom? Forscht man hier ein bisschen nach, bekommt man immer wieder zu lesen: Dieses wurde erstmals 1990 von japanischen Wissenschaftlern beschrieben. Das stimmt so nicht ganz. Denn in der Traditionellen Chinesischen Medizin kennt man dieses Phänomen inklusive seiner Auswirkungen inklusive konkreter Therapieempfehlungen seit gut 2.000 Jahren. Das Tako-Tsubo-Syndrom wird auch Stress-Kardiomyopathie oder Broken-Heart-Syndrom genannt und kann sich wie ein kleiner Herzinfarkt anfühlen. Die Ursache dafür sind jedoch keine verlegten Blutgefäße, sondern emotionale Belastungen mit hoher Intensität. Es kann also wirklich sein, dass einem außergewöhnlicher Liebeskummer das Herz bricht. Die Psyche hat ohne Zweifel einen enorm starken Einfluss auf unseren Körper, auf unsere Organe, auf unsere Gesundheit, auf unser Wohlbefinden. Wir sprechen von Psychosomatik. Ein Wissen, das in der TCM schon lange vorhanden war und das Tako-Tsubo-Syndrom wird dort Herz-Yang-Mangel genannt. Umgekehrt ist es allerdings ebenso: Unsere Organe haben einen großen Einfluss auf unsere Psyche. Wir sprechen von der Somatopsychologie. Das ist ein - leider - relativ junger Forschungsbereich, der sich damit auseinandersetzt, welche Wechselwirkungen es zwischen Organen und Geist gibt.”

It's the fucking conclusion of this story// Broken heart syndrome
What is it??
Takotsubo, or broken or joyful heart syndrome, affects nine women for a man. It is caused by a situation of acute stress, after a dramatic or happy event. The heart can then no longer contract and perform its pump function.
Can we die of it?
First diagnosed in 1990 by Japanese doctors, broken heart syndrome (or tako-tsubo) refers to a pathology related to emotional or physical stress that can cause acute heart failure and lead to death, in some cases.

L’Impératrice Unveils ‘Pulsar’: A Bold Fusion of Global Sounds and Electrifying Dance Anthems
Tumblr media
The emerging band L’Impératrice recently unveiled their upcoming album Pulsar, set to release on June 7th through Microqlima. This album marks a vibrant journey through genres they adore, seamlessly blending hip-hop, kosmische, and contemporary pop. This release is particularly notable for its bold incorporation of French Touch and international house music. Pulsar is also the first of their albums to feature guest artists, including folk/pop singer Maggie Rogers and rapper/producer Erick the Architect, among others. Concurrently, they released the new single “Danza Marilú (feat. Fabiana Martone),” a spirited tribute to Italo-disco, celebrating the freedom of women of all ages on the dance floor. In anticipation of their sold-out shows in New York City and their forthcoming appearances at Coachella, the band released an animated video for the single, created by Arthur Sevestre. Known for their electrifying live performances at major U.S. festivals such as Coachella, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits, L’Impératrice has rapidly grown a dedicated fanbase, with over 45,000 tickets sold for their upcoming international tour this fall. The single “Danza Marilú” follows “Me Da Igual,” encapsulating a sensual vibe with its catchy Spanish title. These early releases from Pulsar offer glimpses into the album’s diverse and global influences, a continuation of their international tours promoting their 2021 album “Tako Tsubo.” Pulsar is a fully self-produced record that embodies the essence of L’Impératrice both on and off stage. The album exudes the energy and wisdom of a band experienced in igniting dance floors worldwide, finding its unique voice along the way. Vocalist Flore Benguigui passionately delivers messages of self-empowerment and challenges societal norms like beauty standards and ageism, aligning perfectly with the album’s vibrant anthems. While crafting the album, L’Impératrice experimented with a novel approach by dividing into two dynamic teams to foster creativity, a strategy spearheaded by the band’s founder, Charles de Boisseguin. This method allowed for a richer collaboration, drawing on the diverse backgrounds and passions of its members. Benguigui, a seasoned jazz vocalist, often explored numerous vocal melodies per track to find the perfect fit, illustrating the band’s commitment to their craft. This collaborative and explorative process took about nine months from inception to recording, reflecting the band’s autonomy and artistic vision. By embracing diverse languages, perspectives, and territories, with enjoyment as their guiding principle, Pulsar stands as a joyful declaration from a band eager to express themselves authentically. Check out “Danza Marilù” below: Read the full article
