The world is oftentimes such an ugly place, but sometimes it can be so beautiful.
Like, when two choirs, one from Croatia and the other from Zimbabwe, met on the opposite sides of a Lisbon subway station and both sang to each other.
I unfortunately do not know what the Zimbabwe children choir sang to them (although it was so beautiful), but the Croatian klapa Kastav sang 'Kuća puna naroda' (a house full of people).
And let my reward be a house full of people,
my life, give me a voice, so I can embrace you with songs.
so I had a dream about a musical performance with amazing music choreography really everything
The song and I can only assume the musical was about a trans man and during the song people kept trying to insult him but he had the perfect comeback each time (I remember being impressed in the dream and thinking it was really funny)
The actors were scattered around in the audience and the main character was kind of running/dancing through different rows during his song
And at the end all of the other dancers would sit on floor and then slide down to the front of the stage (again everyone was in the audience)
And I asked for the name of the song and was really excited to listen to it again with lyrics
And then I woke up... and realized the song isn't real... or the musical... and I didn't remember any of the lyrics... or music
So anyways now I'm mad because all I wanted was to listen to an amazing song for a performance I was going to be in (I was one of the dancers who got to slide down the floor) but nope I can't cause turns out I was making it up the entire time
I was sad, but a drag queen lent me her violin for a while, and I started playing it. I got quite good at it despite the fact that I didn’t really know exactly what I was doing, until I played it a little too hard and it broke. I cried, until she later came up to me and comforted me, saying something like, “All that matters is that you played,” and then I woke up.
i think edgar and madeline would do music collabs :)
[image id: digital illustration of edgar and madeline robistat from electric dream (1984). there is a textbox off to the left coming from edgar saying "maybe you could change the melody in measure 4 to make it flow better..?" nervously as he has sweat on the side of his monitor and his devil tail twitches. madeline has text next to her much smaller saying "hmmm maybe...". they are both on the floor with madeline crouched over edgar in a pondering manner with one hand on her face and one hovering over edgar's keyboard. she is wearing a light purple tank top with blue shorts and pink house slippers. edgar's light is illuminating her in a soft blue glow from below. the background is a solid light pink. end image id.]
