John Lennon explaining who "(Just Like) Starting Over" is for
This interview took place only 12 hours before he lost his life. He was so looking forward to the 80s. I had this edit sitting in my folder for two months because it hurt listening to it. John had such a difficult childhood (losing his mother, his friend dying), his stardom weigh him down mentally, his marriage was a failure (and he couldn't really live in freedom with the person he truly loved due to societal norms). And then he gets robbed of his life in the most brutal way. How absolutely devastating...
In this clip, he clearly says the song is not for Yoko.
I was visualizing all the people of my age group from the 60s.... Having gone through everything together, I am singing to them. I'm really talking to the people that grew up with me and saying here I am now, how are you? How's your relationship going? Did you get through it all? Wasn't the 70s a drag? You know, here we are. Well, let's try and make the 80s good, you know, because it's still up to us to make what we can of it. It's not out of our control.
We have grown, we have grown Although our love is still special Let's take a chance and fly away Somewhere alone It's been too long since we took the time
But when I see you darling It's like we both are falling in love again It'll be just like starting over
Everyday we used to make it love Why can't we be making love nice and easy It's time to spread our wings and fly Don't let another day go by my love It'll be just like starting over
We'll be together all alone again Like we used to in the early days
These parts of the lyrics specifically can only pertain to one person he grew up with. George Harrison.
I'm kidding, Paul.

Ok so what do we think about the fact that in John’s song "(just like) starting over" he might be referencing to Paul three times just in one verse
“it’s time to spread our WINGS and fly, don’t let ANOTHER DAY go by, MY LOVE, it will be just like starting over"
Is he hinting at something?

Me listening to (Just Like) Starting Over for the first time - Aww, how cute, he’s talking about how much his relationship with Yoko means to him.
Me listening to (Just Like) Starting Over for the third time - Yeah, there’s no heterosexual explanation for this.
#john lennon#paul mccartney#mclennon#just like starting over#He literally says Lets take a chance#The early days is also probably a reference to the early beatles era#poor john#no one's to blame i know time flies so quickly... seems like he missed Paul but forgave him

I was reading this fic
Which is fantastic, btw, and it quotes "Just Like Starting Over," the section with all the Paul references. And then it quoted the bridge
Why don't we take off alone? Take a trip somewhere far, far away We'll be together, all alone again Like we used to in the early days Well, well, darlin'
Early Days sounded like a reference too, but what I found was Paul's song from 2013, which kinda suggests Paul was referencing Starting Over in 2013.
Also, there was no real reason to mention the fic, but it's really good so it felt like a good excuse to do so!
We already knew "Early Days" was about John cause Paul has said so, but it now seems to be line it was Paul's very late response to "Just Like Starting Over."

PegaSUS naaaah never heard about it. Must be a made up thing. humans...right?? silly little things ahahah *sweat nervously*#good omens#crowley#aziraphale#ineffable husbands#aziracrow#pegasus#unicorn#Do I wanna draw the precious good omens beans? yes.#is this an excuse to draw more horses? also yes.#medieval crowley#ancient greek aziraphale#CAVALLIIIIIII 🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴#good omens comic#historical husbands

Continuing yesterday's post. This is take three of "My Life" the early version of "(Just like) Starting Over". The lyrics were completely different from the final version. The early version shows the romantic plea, the offering of one's life to someone you love deeply. In the vein of "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" - "Take my hand, take my whole life, too"
Hey it says pause on the…. Argh! My life. Take three. Where is the mic? Oh, there it is. My life take it, it's mine to give Take it, let me live in you My life, take it, it's yours Do what you will, I dedicate it to you. What's the use in waking? If you're not there To share the dreams and nightmare My life, take it for better or worse Why waste time? We both know Together is the only way we'll make it Anyway, take it, my life. My life is you. What's the use in waking? If you're not there To share the dreams and nightmare I've only myself to… I've only myself to give For better or worse I dedicate, My life to you.

Needlessly close reading and long commentary on chapter 57 and how the audience actually has an extremely limited view on what Marcille has been like over the course of her life.
I am once again thinking about how pre-dungeon Marcille is so quiet and stoic that she seems like a completely different person. How jarring chapter 57 is for the audience. Like you have Marcille, who has been just the most blindingly expressive person with resting baby face
And then the chapter drops a title page of Marcille hearing from Falin for the first time in four years and it's like.
Who is that. Genuinely. Would you even realize that's Marcille without the context clues?
And then the chapter just keeps coming in with the sucker punches.
We have SEEN Marcille meet strangers. It was never with this understated of a smile.
literally who the hell is this. the few times the audience gets to see some Signature Marcille Faces that they're used to is when she finally gets to see Falin again
when she's testing out her new spells
(and when Laios and Falin are fantasizing about her being their damsel in distress, funnily enough)
And then finally. Finally you get to a fully recognizable Marcille when she fucking DIES and comes back to life to geek out about necromancy.
We know she loves magic. We know she loves Falin. So it's not so surprising that she wouldn't be able to keep a mask up when thinking or talking about the things she loves. But why the mask in the first place? Where does it come from? It's tempting to think that, maybe, Falin's departure just hurt her so much that it turned her into a quiet person.
But that's only half true. If you go back, the first instance you see of this incredibly mild personality is actually introduced much earlier, in chapter 17.
What if she was always like that. What if her default after her father died was to hold people at arm's length, to never really emote past being polite and friendly. What if Falin was the first person who was able to bring her out of her shell, and when she left, Marcille just went back to how she was.
And when comparing her detached demeanour with someone else...
It's not exact, but wouldn't you say there's a resemblance? Wouldn't you think she might be trying her best to imitate what she saw of her own mother working as an accomplished mage?
It would certainly explain why she's hiding behind her portrait in her nightmare, at least.
We aren't told that Marcille has been distancing herself from everyone around her using a mature and dignified personality she modelled off her mother. But we sure as hell are shown it, I think.
#marcille donato#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#dungeon meshi spoilers#this got so fucking long#it was originally just supposed to be 'haha marcille's old coworkers probably know her as the super serious one'#and then i started connecting dots and it was all over for me#anyway babygirl went right back to depressionville after falin left and it's like. wow. falin doesn't even know how long it's been#that's gotta hurt.#dunmeshi panel meta#marcilleposting#junoposting
