Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 225/?

Billy Joel - Big Shot (1978)

"Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine,

With your fine Park Avenue clothes;

You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand

And the spoon up your nose.

Ooh, and when you wake up in the morning

With your head on fire

And your eyes too bloody to see,

Go on and cry in your coffee

But don't come bitchin' to me."

#favourite lyrics #billy joel #big shot #1978 #52nd street #the opener to Joel's 1978 album (and getting a single release the following year) this catty little number marked a significant moment in #the singer singwriter's career. 52nd Street would be Joel's first album to top the Billboard 200‚ won a handful a grammys and was one of #the first albums ever released on CD a couple of years later. Joel had wanted a slightly new sound to differentiate the album from his #previous studio efforts‚ and hired a slew of talented jazz musicians to help him craft something different. this isn't perhaps the track #that shows the clearest growth in his sound‚ but its swaggering‚ sneering‚ heavy in your face delivery and spiky guitar are a hell of a way #to open an album. Joel has variously claimed to have been inspired by a meeting with Bianca Jagger or that there's no truth in that rumour‚#depending i suspect on his mood when asked; he's also admitted to a certain amount of autobiography to the lyrics‚ and i buy that #personally (it's very easy to read a kind of self hating monologue to the mirror kind of vibe into the song imo). a sly take down of social #poseurs and the nouveau riche of late 70s New York (later lyrics name drop Elaine's and Halston)‚ i particularly like the quick switch in #tone in these opening lines: chauffeured limousines and designer clothes quickly giving way to the seedy detail of the coke spoon in the #nose. there's little sympathy from Joel who strikes a provocative vocal style‚ particularly for the chorus which is enunciated so clearly #it could almost be being spat out. Big Shot was the second single from 52nd Street and was‚ like the album‚ a commercial success #peaking at number 14 (his third highest charting single at this point). afaik it didn’t have a uk release tho‚ alas

You will be called liberator.

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate #oc: jewel #aberrations #mine: dnd #keep thinking about the much more interesting narrative buried in this game in bits and pieces....#like. the very first choice in the game is reacting to a newborn creature calling for help #and i love that you're rewarded for helping and showing compassion #but imagine if the game took you to task for choosing cruelty towards a helpless creature just because it's a ''monster''#and avoided the Compassion For Me But Not For Thee dissonance of like #you run around asking people for help because of the looming threat of being turned into a mind flayer #you help so many people crushed under the great wheel of power and violence #but there's hardly a real pause to acknowledge that every single mind flayer you see was someone before that #was forced or tricked into that pyramid scheme #and if they escape they can only exist as themselves in the shadows #i love these little scenes we do get but god. act 3 and the Cooler Netherbrain Confrontation in my head is like #what if we tweaked it just a bit #and made it sizzle #anyway miss jewel has reached the top of the OC Favoritism Chart along with miss kit. HER <3 #what if you were a nihilist charlatan monk beholden to nothing and no one and worn down by your long elven lifespan #who learned to feel compassion again through curiosity and sympathy towards ''monsters''#maybe the only person to ever willingly become illithid because you understood that change is not evil and the ''self'' is energy in flux #what if you rewrote the narrative that everyone else tried to sell #instead of domination and suffering you made it into an act of triumph and care for reviled creatures who didn't ask to be made #an ultimate act of charlatan-ism too <3 #someone tells her 'this is how things are' and jewel says 'i think not actually <3' and gets away with it

The fact that Taylor has been in this industry for so long that now she’s starting to surpass her previous successes and achieve things she’s never done before and is finding everything to be creatively fulfilling is just so thrilling to watch.

#taylor swift #anti-hero #midnights #like this song could be her first ever year end top single on the billboard hot 100 chart #she’s doing so much but is constantly finding new inspiration and joy in it rather than being burned out

one on hand im so glad they pressed ahead and released rwrb bc it's like the perfect summer rom-com, then on the other hand im annoyed at all the promo and cast content we missed out on

#just shows actually how much a fanbase can do #not a single bit of cast promo during the release and yet still topped the charts #matthew giving all the interviews 😭😭😭#which is also very unique bc how often do u get so much bts info from a director #rwrb

saw a tiktok about a schizophrenic man committing a violent hate crime and a lot of the comments were fearmongering about schizophrenic people in general, not the specific situation. and it just got me thinking about how schizophrenia is treated in media and the news, how you only hear about schizophrenic people when they’ve committed a violent crime, how society says these people need to be locked up in mental institutions for their own good, and like. i feel like people don’t understand that bodily autonomy applies to everybody. yes, even truly awful people. and truly awful people who happen to be mentally ill are not awful because of their mental illness, the two are totally unrelated. obviously, someone who’s committing violent hate crimes should not be allowed to continue to do those crimes. but just because a person poses a threat, the way to neutralize that threat is not involuntary commitment. because when you start to shove the “bad” crazy people in mental institutions against their will, that opens the gates for all mentally ill people to be institutionalized.

#the word of chuck #ableism tw #like. as someone who has schizophrenic friends #and who might very well be schizophrenic themselves (i’ve definitely got something undiagnosed)#it’s scary to see how quickly people will jump on the involuntary commitment bandwagon #every single time i’ve been committed it’s been voluntary #bc i’ve known that if i didn’t go voluntarily they’d involuntarily commit me #and i know that when my chart says voluntary commitment i get treated more like a human being #tiktok is evil obviously but there’s this one user w bpd who talks abt her experiences with involuntary commitment #and the shit she says is absolutely bone chilling #like. involuntary commitment cases are treated as so inhuman. the commitment is the tip of the iceberg #when it comes to their bodily autonomy being violated #did you know that if you get admitted for a 72 hour stay weekend days don’t count towards those 72 hours?#so if your times up and you want to leave you can’t. bc the doctors have the weekend off #sorry abt the essay in the tags. involuntary commitments are treated so terribly and it’s scary to see ppl advocating for it #edit: the tiktok user who talks about his experiences in the psych ward is @yamumsatryeduns and uses he/they pronouns #or possibly they/he. they have it in a different order on his bio than they do at the top of his page

taylor swift makes me angry because her good songs are so good like she’s genuinely a very skilled musician and songwriter but then her bad songs are the worst songs i’ve ever heard. they’re absolutely terrible. and her mediocre songs are painfully mediocre but people keep saying that all of her stuff is good. like. i know that she can write good songs. i’ve heard them. but the stuff that is not good is Really Not Good

#maeve posts #anti taylor swift #i wish i had normal feelings about her/her music but i just can't #because some of it sucks but people still act like it doesn't #there is absolutely no reason that tracks from midnight should've made up the entire top 10 on the billboard charts #most of those songs are mediocre at best #and what really gets me is that half of her singles are the bad ones!!!!! girl why would you use a bad song as a single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#you have better ones!!!!!!!! i have heard the better ones!!!!!!!!#[that part is not about antihero i thought that was one of the better ones on the album even if it's still mediocre and boring]#but then i listen to something like death by a thousand cuts or the 1 and it's like!!!!! this is a great song!!!!!! fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i know she can write good songs so why does she also write really bad ones and then promote them?????
