Dead Boy Detectives as Taylor Swift Songs Red Edition

“Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it”

Edwin - Nothing New

“I know someday I'm gonna meet her, it's a fever dream

The kind of radiance you only have at 17

…

I'll say I'm happy for her, then I'll cry myself to sleep”

Charles - Run

“And run, like you'd run from the law

Darling, let's run, run from it all”

It’s miserable and magical”

Jenny - I Knew You Were Trouble

“Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

I was in your sights, you got me alone”

And that was the moment I knew”

Literally me when the Character Song Album was announced and now that the tracklist has been revealed

How-

HOW?!?!?!

Moffun and Moffun no Uta doesn't represent Rita at all?!?! It's literally the opposite of their character?!?!

And Racles and the Retainers aren't getting any despite how crucial they are to the character plots?!?!

TOEI! WHEN I GET YOU, TOEI!!!

This just in: Yoko genuinely believes that John had a vision about a man on a flaming pie who told him the name of the Beatles.

“[John] wrote a piece called ‘On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles’, and the basic line that we all laughed at was something like “I had a vision and a man came unto me on a flaming pie and said ‘You shall be Beatles with an ‘a’, and so it was.” We took this to be Goon humour and a sort of Biblical joking – “and God said unto thee ‘come forth’, and he came fifth”. That’s very much the humour that was going around Liverpool at the time.

Now, it turned out that we couldn’t have this in the Anthology because Yoko believes that John did have a vision. I’m very friendly with Yoko now so I don’t want this to look like a snide thing, but it genuinely intrigues me that she thinks this. And the way I tried to put it to her was, you can say, “I had a vision” and people will go “OK”. You could say, “A man came unto me”. “OK, it’s starting to sound a little biblical, but it’s all right, still.” “On a flaming…”. “Yes, this is OK, it’s even more biblical”. Now, if you’d have gone to the word “chariot”, we would be all right. Or if you’d gone to the word “phoenix” we would be all right. But the word “pie” is a dead giveaway. “A man came to me on a flaming pie?” I know, in my mind, that John didn’t have a vision about this, but the way Yoko puts it is, “If it’s OK for Paul to dream ‘Yesterday’ then it’s OK for John to have a vision.” So these are the kind of things that cropped up. It’s only a difference of opinion so it doesn’t matter vastly. We’ve tried to make our point, she’s made her point and we’ve arrived somewhere in the middle.”

I love Taylor Swift, I love the Shie Hassaikai, what could go wrong?

[musicrunsthroughmysoul]

I'm not really amazed by anything on this album (although to be FAIR, apparently these recordings were not intended to be released as an album and were simply DEMOS; it was pressed as an album, anyway), except for THESE LYRICS RIGHT HERE:

"There are no such things as border lines (Border lines) Boundaries exist in your own mind (Your mind) Why destroy the things that you can't possess? (Woah) Or take credit for what you have not done? We should stand together when we compete (Woah) Why don't you try to be in my feet?"

According to information on discogs, this song was written by Hilary Shapiro (now known as Hilary Shepherd), Louise Goffin, Brie Howard (now known as Brie Howard-Darling), and Dennis Herring

Fit For A King

The Path

====

Their 2020 album. I reviewed their EP with August Burns Red and 'The Hell We Create' back in 2021/2022. I love how consistent this album is far from what they have done lately. It's heat all the way through from start to finish. The only reason that this isn't higher is that this deathcore just follows the standard of others. If they were to have something different than they could be onto something. Unfortunately more recently it looks like they haven't been able to do so, however this album is still a great listen.

Fit For A King have been around since 2007, based in Texas this new album marks their 7th Full length record. I think my favourite is “Sink Below”, it’s definitely got the best chorus on the album for me, like pushing different traditional metalcore writing styles together like Killswitch Engage swirling around As I Lay Dying, there’s something very familiar and nostalgic about it but not to the extent where that’s the focus, it’s like an extension into the modern day. Close second is the track they guest the beasts in The Ghost Inside on, “Times Like These” is more of the same, high octane drumming with crunchy rhythm guitars and flowing higher pitch licks, which already gives me a shot of adrenaline but then towards the end the whole thing just drops and blasts you in the chest, brilliant. In “What You Left Behind” they switch from very soft and gentle vocals then this symphonic backing contrasts against the intense and heavy March of tones which you normally expect of someone like Lorna Shore, it added some spice right at the end of the album. “Reaching Out” is a swaying song with themes of understanding and reassurance, it’s still got a grunt on it but utilised in a different way, “Falling Through The Sky” is another one in a similar style except it’s more of a wavey floaty vibe. If you fancy just some straight up neck snapping, teeth gnashing heavy stuff then I direct your attention to “Reaper” and “Eyes Roll Back”. Solid album from the lads, check them out on tour with The Amity Affliction!!

I am very intrigued by the idea of this album being focused on taylor herself as the artist/writer/creator.... I think signing off the announcement as "the chairman of the tortured poets department" very much puts herself at the forefront (as both a creative and a boss), as opposed to other album descriptions which maybe emphasised the stories or a specific emotion or concept. the line about "my veins of pitch black ink" reminds me of ts eliot referring to poets "turning blood into ink" (often misquoted as "the purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink"). also the play on words in "all's fair in love and poetry" suggesting a connection between poetry and war immediately makes me think of king by florence & the machine saying "you need to go to war to find material to sing". in fact the whole excerpt reminds me of that song — the line "the very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most" feels very fitting. I just love the idea of an album about the act of creation and writing itself (and how this shapes and is shaped by experiences like heartbreak).

Eddie’s queer awakening Part 2 | Part 1

Steve doesn’t know what else to do to make Eddie realize he likes him. Never in his life has he had to work this hard at winning someone over. Never.

Even with Nancy in high school, there was always a hint that she wanted him to chase her, which made it worthwhile. Sometimes, Eddie will do something that makes Steve sure he feels the same, flirting back. Then Eddie will do something that makes Steve not so sure, laughing it off.

Steve doesn’t like resorting to bullshit queer stereotypes because he doesn’t exactly fit them either, but Eddie looks like those rugged guys on his posters and album covers. Sometimes it feels like a masculinity performance worthy of King Steve, but sometimes it feels genuine.

Eddie’s not dressing like Bowie, but he prances around on cafeteria tables yelling about sodomy and he’s never had a girlfriend that Steve knows of. He could like both, same as Steve, of course. Or it could be nothing, of course. Steve’s just putting all these moves on a straight boy, about to get his heart broken again.

Robin’s given him countless pep talks, assuring him that he’s right about Eddie when he starts to doubt it. “You sniffed Vickie out just from her VHS returns. If anyone has a functional queer detector here, it’s you. Trust it.”

“What if I ask him out and he rejects me?” Steve fully understands Robin’s worries now, it’s not the same as getting shot down by a girl. “I’ve got enough rumors about me already.” They all wanted to say it in high school, calling Steve a pretty boy in tight pants that spent too much time in the mirror.

Tommy used to shoot them all down. Now he’s not by Steve’s side, snarling at anyone who suggests it. Which was mostly just Tommy trying to convince himself that everything they did under the covers at sleepovers was “just guy stuff”, and he convinced Steve too. To the point where Steve hadn’t even considered any different until a few months ago when he told Robin and— yeah, that was an eventful conversation. The first time he stumbled across the word bisexual— from a Bowie interview in one of Robin’s magazines— it felt like something clicked into place.

“I don’t think Eddie’s the type to out anyone, either way.” Robin’s right. She’s not always right, everything would be easier if she was, but she’s right about that.

“I keep having to pretend to like his shitty weed to get him to come over. Not even the yawn and stretch move worked on him. Y’know, this,” Steve demonstrates, stretching an arm above his head and then draping it over Robin’s shoulder. She shrugs him off with a fake gag. “I kept looking at his lips and I thought we were gonna kiss, but he laughed and poked me in the ribs and called me dude.”

Robin listens to all his boy troubles and then they come up with a plan. Steve decides he’s going to come out to Eddie, just put it out there that he likes guys. In a totally platonic way and hopefully that gets the ball rolling the other way, where he tells Eddie he likes one guy in particular and hopes all his Romeo efforts don’t blow up in his face.

So he goes for it. Eddie strolls into Family Video and picks out a movie that Steve’s actually heard of for once. It’s easy for Steve to throw him a smile and invite himself over. “You know this is the closest thing to a romance movie you’ve picked? No way I’m letting you watch this alone, somebody’s gotta hold your hand through the sad ending, looks like it’s gonna be me.”

Several emotions fly across Eddie’s face, landing on overwhelmed disbelief. “I don’t get it, man. How do you not have a girlfriend? You’d be so easy to fall in love with. Hell, I feel like you've made me fall halfway in love with you already. If I was a girl, I’d date the shit out of you.”

It looks like Eddie wants to clap a hand over his mouth as soon as the words leave it.

Steve watches him carefully, trying to think clearly over his heart pounding in his chest because Eddie just said he loves him, kind of. This is it. “Would you still date me as a guy?”

Eddie’s nervous hands jingle with chain bracelets as they tug his hair and hide his face. “You mean, objectively? As a guy would I date another guy? I mean, could I want that? I hadn’t really considered that option until now. Uh. Shit. Wow, this is-”

“Because I would, you know,” Steve jumps to say, as earnestly as he can, needing Eddie to finally know. How could he not know? This is it. Steve didn’t come all this way just to tap out at the finish line. He goes for it. “I’d date you as a guy, Eddie. I’d date the shit out of you, too, just like you are.”

Eddie’s face is flushed now, his eyes wide and swimming with both questions and realizations. Steve snaps out of it for a second, looking around to see the store is thankfully empty, Robin’s still on her break, but this isn’t the place for this conversation.

“Wanna talk about it over the movie tonight?” He offers.

It moors Eddie, he relaxes more and Steve hopes he’s not imagining the faint hint of a smile. “Yeah, that’s— yeah, talk. I can do that.”

“Okay, it’s a date. See you then.” Steve hands over the tape, their fingers brushing and making warmth flutter all through him. He watches Eddie halfway trip out the door, running into it once and pulling on it three times before pushing it open.

Steve can’t stop grinning, thinking about later, determined to tell Eddie he’s already in love with him too.
