Me reblogging this only thinking about the emotional and symbolic component and not at all processing the other part of it's Beginning to Feel the Years at the Beginning of the Year

F*ck it, Brandi and The Hanseroth Twins singing Beginning to Feel The Years with/to each other during their opening concert of the year for the past three years in row…

at The Gorge in 2023

at The Anthem in 2024

at Royal Albert Hall in 2025

"Don't even think about your freedom or taking that flight, or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right, because your eggshells and your I statements and your weaponized words are paper tigers now" / "Nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you, when you're looking for a fight, I'm your man"

"Waiter send us to the table, the party of one, the only other lonely soul in this place" / "And now the party's over, and you're dancing alone"

"Don't event think about your freedom or taking that flight or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right" / "People get addicted to the rush, the chase, the new, just hoping that all that chaos will lead to something like this"

"And so you're finishing up your coffee, but then where you gonna run? Where'd you get that look on your face?" / "But I'm onto you, and you will pour your heart into any shimmering fad, throwing good after bad"

Also, the order matters, a lot

Dermatologists hate this one simple trick:

The 2020 COVID Christmas show is so entertaining because you basically just get to watch everyone else watch her get more and more hilariously tipsy and yet still absolutely lock the fuck in every time she starts a song
