KILL THE WHALE (LYRICS AND COMMENTARY)

HELLO! Over the past couple of months I have been making it a personal project to transcribe and annotate the lyrics for Daniel Emond's musical adaptation of Moby Dick, called "Kill The Whale".

For those unfamiliar with this album/adaptation, here is the official description of it right from Emond's website:

Kill the Whale is a concept album and live rock opera, built in the characters and waters of Melville's Moby Dick. When Ishmael, a young rocker with an unknown past falls in love with the hiphop harpooner Q, they join Peek-Wow, the Whaleship/Orchestra led by steel-eyed frontwoman Ahab, who sets her crew upon a course to kill the gigantic sperm whale that maimed her, a plan opposed by Ahab's first mate (and secret admirer), the devout and soulful Starbuck. Contending with face-melting squalls and mad mates, the hymnic wonder of whales nursing in the heart of the Ocean, and the poignant Gospel of the castaway cabin kid Pip, Peek-Wow embarks on a rock and roll quest for vengeance. Kill The Whale is memory manifested as a 1970's folk/hiphop/rock opera, that centers two queer romances, lifts voices of color, and re-casts authority roles as women.

The album was released on Spotify in April of this year, with two live performances at Joe's Pub taking place only a few days after it's release.

I have archived and noted the lyrics as they appear in the studio album, the live variation, and Daniel's "official" lyrics as posted to his personal Reddit, and the differences therein. I and my good Melville scholar friend and partner @pocketsizedquasar-2 have also left extensive commentary, notes of context, and criticisms of this album in the document. Please enjoy the fruit of much labor and insanity :)

im really interested in white-black casting in les mis. when i found out theyd cast a black man, kyle scatliffe, for enjolras in the 2014 revival, i lost my minddd. i hadnt thought about it! i always liked thinking about the implications for valjean, fantine + cosette, eponine… eponine especially her black casting has had the most influence on the text (afaik), and i can not accept a white eponine. i also need to look into all-black productions, which is really fun to think about story-wise. i think it’s kinda ridiculous that they cast norm lewis as JAVERT in the 25th concert asfshjwna he played the character really well but i cant do “colorblind” casting. Color Blind Casting is meant to mean the actor is supposed to play white. if being poor, being a woman, being a convict has an impact on the story and situation, why wouldnt race ..? maybe lewis embedded meaning i didnt detect. maybe it doesnt matter. it matters to me lol. anyway back to the beginning, i really like thinking about a black enjolras. a kid from a french colony in africa, or even from america which ive just learned had a massive black migration event us to fr in 1803… the added pressure on themes of colonization and national authority and imperialism, and bodily autonomy and migration and youth, and the punishment of black revolutionaries in particular… really like thinking about it

[anecdotal-acorn]

thank you guys for coming to the stream, it was such a great time!!! i'm thinking ramin karimloo jvj, will swenson javert, caissie levy fantine, kyle scatliffe enj, john rapson grantaire (my belovedddd), andy mientus marius (also my beloved), and samantha hill cosette from Broadway 2014 for next week, so just interact with this post if you're interested! <333

[cometomecosette]

“Javert at the Barricade” and “Little People,” (plus “You at the barricade, listen to this...”), Broadway, 2014. Kyle Scatliffe as Enjolras, Will Swenson as Javert, Gaten Matarazzo as Gavroche.

Not the highest quality video, but solid, and the performance is a strong one. The pre-Stranger Things Gaten Matarazzo is a feisty, exuberant Gavroche (I only wish he had gotten to sing the uncut version of “Little People”), Kyle’s Enjolras is majestic and commanding, and as for Will’s Javert... well, he’s certainly a firebrand. I’m not sure if I like having him be so wildly ferocious on “Shoot me now or shoot me later...”, nearly attacking Enjolras and needing to be forced to his knees by the other students. It’s not exactly a dignified response to capture. But I assume it was direction; ever since 2009, Laurence Connor and James Powell’s interpretation of Javert has been more aggressive and neurotic than he is in other productions.

I like the feisty girl with the hitched-up skirt in the foreground who instantly turns a gun on Javert when he’s revealed as a spy. That student who talks her down should mind his own business and let her do what the men are doing!
