RANDOM THINGS FROM BE MORE CHILL BROADWAY THAT I REALLY LIKE: CLIPS

(Note before we begin, LGW and MitB aren’t from Broadway here. LGW is from off Broadway, and MitB is from a rehearsal. I couldn’t get Broadway versions, and I can’t clip longer than a minute, so that’s how I tried to resolve that.)

(Bonus note added with Random Things 4 additions: Because these clips (minus the full songs) are taken from closing night, some lines (such as Michael makes an entrance) are almost entirely drowned out by the audience. I’m sorry about that.)

Final notes:

I’m sorry this took me so long! Even after collecting all the clips, it was just really tedious to organize them and list them, and at one point I accidentally closed the app without saving so I lost a ton of progress. Plus, I’ve just been kinda busy. But! It’s here now!

If you’d like any other moments from the show clipped, I can do that for you! I can also clip most (not all) of these from a different video that’s not from closing night. This one zooms in on the characters more, so I’d be able to get clearer shots. Just let me know, I’ll grab it for you, no problem, as long as it’s not closing night exclusive.

Thanks for your patience, and I hope you enjoy!

Addition with Random Things 4: I’m so sorry this took me so long. Again, it was a very tedious process that I kept putting off because I was dreading doing it. I’m finally done with it though! I appreciate your patience and support, and hope you enjoy all of these clips!

A moment of silence for mourning please

[leek-inherent]

I have so much to say about Album so I’m just going to start typing and see where it goes.

This drawing is based on The Protector, which is,,,,,, aaaaaa. Jason Sweettooth Williams does really amazing, he conveys the emotion so well in this recording, it's insane. Also the music is so good. Literally gives me shivers. 

In my understanding this song is about a father who had some bad experiences in his childhood when he tried to seek comfort in various unhealthy coping mechanisms, and he doesn’t want his kid to go through the same thing so he tries to make sure they feel safe. Because the ‘protector’ that they need isn’t someone to fight off bad guys, it’s someone who will make sure they feels safe and loved and cared for, to protect them from what they might do to themselves. But the father hasn’t quite figured this out, he gets close to understanding in the song, but he’s still so scared and desperately doing everything he can to protect his child. Like telling them to avoid certain places - presumably places where he has had bad experiences. But it wasn’t because the places are dangerous, it was because he was vulnerable as a kid and didn’t have someone to help him navigate the world. The main thing is that he wants the child to know that he will always protect them, no matter what. 

This a bit vague but point is this song is really good and listening to it has had an effect on me. Thank you Joe Iconis thank you Jason Sweettooth Williams.

hey if u only had to listen to one of your songs for the rest of ur life which one would it be

Hey! If the question was “if u only had to perform  one of your songs for the rest of ur life which one would it be?,” my knee-jerk response would be “The Goodbye Song.” 

But listening is different. I rarely listen to my own songs for “pleasure” or in any way that could be described as “casual.” If I’m listening to them in the way I would music by artists who are Not me, it’s usually for one of two reasons:

1 I’m in the middle of making the album on which they appear and I want to know the songs inside and out. Either for editing/mixing purposes or just an awareness. When I have a show in rehearsal and previews, I’m around for every moment. By the time it opens, I know every nuance of the live performance and make judgements about the work accordingly. With recorded music, it’s different- everything is less deliberate, you’re recording a huge amount of material in a short period of time and, in my case, under a massive amount of stress. It’s not until I start hearing mixes that I even fully remember what we did in the studio. So, listening obsessively helps me remember and make sense of what’s there. 

2 When an album Is released, for the next few weeks I find myself listening to it through the lens of other people receiving it for the first time. Strangers, Family members, artists I respect, anybody. I literally say to myself: “I’m gonna pretend I’m Paul Thomas Anderson listening to this album- what do I think about it?!” (Paul Thomas Anderson, as far as I know, has never listened to my album. But when I was listening to it and pretending to be him, he fucking loved it.) 

With all that said, if I had to choose one and only one... I might choose “Last on Land” from Album, but really from Bloodsong of Love. It’s a song that sums up how I feel about art and it’s performed by people I love as artists and humans and they are the people I want to be thinking about forever and ever and ever. Also, it’s long but not too-long, so I think it would be relatively easy listen for all of eternity. It hangs around for a good, warm while but doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.
