Amphibia's Anne Boonchuy but it's that one verse of When I Was a Boy I Thought I Was a Fish

(I heavily considered not even doing my spesh little lyric annotation, because it is just so obvious how this song reminds me of Amphibia. But I have fun doing them, so you're gonna get them!)

And I've come a long way from those amphibious days The show ends 10 years after she left Amphibia for good :(

And I'd like to thank the things I've seen, You don't see a world of frog people everyday. She still really appreciates everything she saw there

The friends that I've made SPRANNE AGAINST THE WORLD 😭

All the people that have hurt me, Sasha and Marcy, both in very different ways

The times that I've been saved In the end, it was her new friends that saved her the most. Although, you can't move past "Maybe you're better off without me" - a saviour in a different way

And to music, which has made me its most obliging slave It's no big deal...

There's blood on this guitar, Holy shit did they put a lot of weight into a guitar solo. Y'know the character who had a scar on their face? The one who plays guitar. Y'know the character who gave her that scar? The other one who plays the guitar. So yeah, there's metaphorical blood on this guitar

There's sweat between these keys, I had in my mind that Marcy plays keyboard but turns out she plays drums. Anyway, Ringo Star reference

When I step forward to the mic it’s with my tail between my knees She was pretty nervous about that big guitar solo

But we aren't here to fight, we are here to dance Sasha comes in clutch! Turns out that, just that once, she wasn't there to fight, she was there to dance

No, we aren’t here to fight, we are here to dance They defeat the big bad with an anime girl transformation. Truly incredible. After 10 years, the main three stop really hanging out. But they stop fighting too, and maybe that's worth it. I mean, they stopped going to Amphibia, but they also stopped the fighting going on there. You get what I mean

Album Review: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - The Darkness Tour ’78

Forty-five years after Darkness on the Edge of Town emerged from the studio, the album is back in live form with bonus material from the era.

It comes via the Darkness Tour ’78, a streaming-only LP credited to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and culled from various sources. It begins with a track-by-track restatement of the album followed by 10 additional tunes made famous by others - as with Patti Smith and “Because the Night” and the Pointer Sisters’ “Fire” - and numbers that were held for later LPs including the River and the Promise.

These are prime songs delivered by Springsteen and E Street in their prime. Longtime listeners will delight in hearing lyrics still in flux, Springsteen doing his best Tom Waits imitation on “Because the Night” and a full horn section accompanying the group on “Action in the Streets.”

The audiences, meanwhile, are essential members of the band, intuiting what each song needs by remaining pin-drop quiet on the piano ballad “The Promise,” whooping and hollering between bass notes on “Fire” and going completely bonkers as “Sherry Darling” recreates a sock hop after party.

Still young, still hungry and already one of rock’s great on-stage conglomerates, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in 1978 were doing something unique to them. Thankfully, someone had the insight to know that then and rolled tape so we can have releases like the Darkness Tour ’78 now.
