I've been thinking about Marvel 1602 lately, fantastic story by the way. Would you happen to have full lyrics for Matt Murdock's Ballad of the Fantastick? or an outline for how it sounded in your head? I kinda want to record an actual cover of it!

Hope all the TV production work's going well!

I'm afraid the only lyrics that exist are the ones I needed for the story. So you have lots of room to write the missing verses. (I'd say you've got the first, third, fifth and sixth verses there, but you could have more new verses in between the ones that are there.)

There were four brave souls, rode the oceans abroad,

T'was on the Fantastick they sailed,

And one was a Captain, and one was a Lord,

And one a young hothead who carried a sword,

And the last was a maiden so pale, so pale,

The last was a maiden so pale.

So the bosun he ups and he says to Sir Reed,

My crew they are shaking with fear,

So we'll take to the boats and we'll wave you goodbye...

For we're leaving the four of you here, you here,

We'll leave every one of you here...

So they looks at themselves as they steps onto land,

And they knew that their lives had been saved.

Then each of the four of them puts out a hand...

And they touched, and gave thanks, standing there on the sand,

For the fortune that favours the brave, the brave--

For fortune still favours the brave.

But just as they think that their troubles are o'er

They re-al-lize what they've become,

For the captain's a monster, which irks him full sore,

The bravo's a burning man, flames from him pour...

While the Lord was as pliant as gum, by gum,

With his lady--

This seems to me a perfect Aziraphale x Crowley song

They Were You

When the moon was young,

When the month was May,

When the stage was hung for my holiday,

I saw shining lights

But I never knew:

They were you.

They were you.

They were you.

When the dance was done,

When I went my way,

When I tried to find rainbows far away,

All the lovely lights

Seemed to fade from view:

They were you.

They were you.

They were you.

Without you near me,

I can't see.

When you're near me,

Wonderful things come to be.

Every secret prayer,

Every fancy free,

Everything I dared for both you and me.

All my wildest dreams

Multiplied by two

They were you.

They were you.

They were you.

The ballet dancers in the other room have live music today and, on the one hand, it's really funny how often the pianist kind of noodles around on the piano in between actually playing--random jazz piano for funsies. Wish I could do that.

But he's also playing "Try to Remember" for everyone to practice to and I'm over here across the hall trying not to cry.

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most! Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!

Thank you @annepi-blog for the tag! Using spotfiy I don't have like one big playlist of all my music, so I'll just choose the playlist I am actively listening to at the moment, which means this should all be musical theater songs, lol

This playlist is over 55 hrs long, so I like the variety but I'm still surprised no Epic or Starkid songs came up. Tempted to do more polls with my other frequently listened to playlists.

I'll tag @calsvoid, @lusthurts, @leydhawk, @backslashdelta, and @spaceorphan18

Look at what could have been

[bewareofitalics]

Ugh, there are now two obscure musical references I want to make where my preferred recording of the song isn't streaming anywhere. Either I'm gonna have to suck it up and go slightly less obscure, or suck it up and post the songs on Tumblr and then link to my posts even though that feels wrong for some reason.

Sigourney Weaver’s high school yearbook, 1967. And she’s quoting from The Fantasticks, perfect 🤩

Literally all it took was One (1) Mike picture and I had 20 tabs open to Google things while wailing at people indiscernibly while having a spiral (positive). This really is incredible

[tobbogan-13]

is there a The Fantasticks fandom out there?

I need to talk to people about this show 😭🙏

[ablatheringblatherskite]

Okay but this picture of Hadley in the Fantasticks gives me Phantom vibes... 👀
