#Man with a harmonica

[theoutcastrogue]

Muse - Man with a harmonica / Knights of Cydonia (Live at Rome Olympic Stadium 2013)

I remembered this because I belatedly watched Ennio. You should absolutely watch Ennio (dir. Giuseppe Tornatore, 2021).

There's thousands of details in rdr2 that I really love, and I say it all the time, but if I had to pick one as my favourite? It would be the campfire interactions.

From chapter one to even the epilogues, there's always something going on around a campfire.

It's always touched me in an emotional way, but the vulnerability, honesty and silliness that comes out of gang members during late night/early hour campfire conversations? It's truly a beautifully written and well executed feature that I spend a lot of time paying attention to.

The campfire is almost like the gang's communal safe space. They're free to talk, vent, sing or play instruments, and the others around will simply sit and listen or sing along. They bond over sharing these funny stories and tall tales, you have the opportunity to learn so much from the gang members by just listening around the campfire.

Lenny will talk about his father and their hardships, Hosea will talk about how much he misses Bessie or how special Dutch is to him, Reverend Swanson will be open about his addiction and the relationship he has with religion, Abigail will voice her frustrations about John, Bill will talk about how he got discharged from the army, John will talk about his worries regarding Dutch's leadership, Micah will talk about damnation and being prepared for hell, and Javier will be open about Mexico or his mother passing away and not being able to bury her.

There's plenty more, there's hundreds of different campfire interactions, but on a rare occasion - Arthur will talk. He'll sit down and begin apologising for how things have turned out, he'll admit how he's struggling to find a way forward for everyone and that he doesn't want to die but is willing to, then he'll ask for their forgiveness and excuse himself shortly after.

I find it hard to describe how despite gang members having differing options of each other, there's an unspoken mutual closeness that they share whilst talking around the fire. They'll jest and laugh and quip, but they'll also simply listen when they need to.

It's so wonderful.

why is he so smoll?! 🥺

[me10n-10rde]

i was listening to piano man and ive always thought it would make like a good edit or long oneshot or something so i bothered to write up my idea and imagine all the ways it could be filled with angst

james is the piano man, he brings comfort to everyone even of it harms him (how people were like why tf are you at this bar you should be doing real performances)

There's an old man sittin' next to me

Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes

this is alphard thinking back on like a lover who passed, kinda like him and eli in CR

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there's some place that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"

As the smile ran away from his face

"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place"

john is regulus, in this case ‘here’ is the house of black. he’s stick and he desperately wants out but can’t leave

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy

And probably will be for life

wolfstar. sirius is paul, remus is davy. this really needs no altering, paul and davy are together and so are sirius and remus

lily is the waitress who’s practicing politics, trying to work her way up even when things are against her

i love this song so much, i need tickets to see him and stevie

Okay hopefully not too dumb of a question, but does anyone have the harmonica tabs for the lovely post-patricide solo in One Eyed Jack's? I'm currently trying to figure it out by ear and I've got the first chunk of it, but I'm struggling. If anyone could help or even just point me in the right direction, that'd be great! [If this post sounds really awkward it's cause I like never post anywhere]

i hate fingering my guitar im moving onto piano. Piano is my friend, she's so nice and my fingers could actually reach the keys. Guitar tabs can kill itself right now.

[spinglered]

Piano man is to harmonicas what buddy hollly is to guitars

[hailthegodsong]

I physically can’t get through the rest of the tour if Jake keeps audibly kissing the mic to say goodbye to everyone

[thetomorrowshow]

I just watched the full harmonica section and when Jimmy says "I thought you were gonna punch me and kick me, not this!" I immediately thought of ESH Jimmy

SKDHDJDK it's him.... the jimmy i've always spoken of......

"Deerstalking Man" by Thee Headcats Sect : A raw and authentic garage rock experience!

This stand-out track encapsulates the collaborative spirit and musical synergy between Thee Headcoats and The Downliners Sect unfolding with a restless pulse and a jagged, off-kilter charm.

Per your request of people sharing about their days:

I had one of my last (high school) band concerts yesterday and I really thought I’d be a lot more broken up about it but I could NOT be more excited to be done.

Ayyy good for you bud!!
