[niyana-the-ambiguous-mobian]

Brand new song drop for Sonic 3 alert!!

[hdusa]

are the songs on your playlist mostly for specific seasons/eras/moments or are they mostly more general songs for the overall character? what are your favorites and why?

in the spirit of recent events these are the songs I put on after every stream to really feel everything that happens

[ancientstone]

The fact that the English dub for the new Black Butler still has Briana Palencia as Ciel and J. Michael Tatum as Sebastian fills me with warm fuzzies

[yourlocalguardian]

Love that da2 single handedly sent me back into my obsession over Florence + The Machine. There’s nothing like processing what happened in the last two hours of the game and then Florence Welsh’s voice starts kicking in with “I’m not calling you a liar”

[eridan-ampora]

i have no idea what i'm doing but this turned out kind of adorable. first time trying to make music so i'd really love some feedback :)

[silverysongs]

parts from the camelot revival cast recording that make me smile, act 2

not comprehensive. might be in an order. featuring 20% more jordan donica.

ENTR'ACTE. we've got the true theatre experience guys (minus the exit music.)

jordan donica's perfect french during the madrigal

the hazy, in-the-other-room feel of the madrigal strings at the beginning of "if ever i would leave you"

jordan donica's perfect vowels.

the dreamy strings when lance comes back in after the instrumental interlude

"it's not the earth the meek inherit, it's the dirt." / again with lerner's lyrics, but taylor trensch does a such good job making them come alive.

"...and fidelity is only for your mate!" / shouted towards the direction where arthur disappeared. have to say, i do love mordred's fierce loyalty to his mother even if he is a toad.

[guenevere, whistling terribly] "stop! you are terrible at whistling!"

"i'm a beginner! i just need practice and encouragement!" / "the very last thing you should have is encouragement." / WHAT are the implications of that statement, arthur???

"my father used to say i sang like an angel who'd been blessed with a particularly pretty singing voice." / this joke has no right being so good.

"what do simple folk do... to forget?" / love that this line could be played ironically or straight.

"what else do the simple folk--" / sighing: "genny." / when i tell you that i almost melted when i heard this on the cast recording

that verse in "fie on goodness" that's just about scotland, and then: "fie on scotland, fie!!!"

the entire ensemble during "guenevere"

trumpet fanfare/snare hit after arthur says "those guards are going to die tonight"!

the slow dirge of winds and percussion at the end of "guenevere"

Gonna watch Shrek 2 just so I can hear Frou Frou’s holding out for a hero in the end credits

“Back to December” is such a bittersweet song, but I think in light of everything we know now, the post-Dear John, WCS, I Can See You of it all, there’s something even more poignant about it.

On the surface, it’s an apology to a boy whose heart she broke because she just didn’t love him enough at the time, and how much she misses these very innocent things about him — his sweet smile, his tan skin lol that line always makes me laugh though, his uncomplicated love. It’s a romance that’s painted with summer sunshine and easy affection.

But as we know with later songs, at this point it wasn’t enough. She was tempted by the “forbidden fruit,” the thrill of the chase, the furtive glances and electric touch (lol sorry) of someone else and followed the path to desire. (OK that feels a little gross to type out, but you know what I mean.)

And as we also know, that experience, that fall from grace as it were, is one of the single most traumatizing experiences of her life. The god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven, maybe, but it came at the cost of the very person she thought she was, and is something she’s been trying to rebuild over and over again ever since.

Which is why “Back to December” is so sad to me, taken in that context. It’s like she’s not just wistful for a sweet relationship that fizzled and the boy she left behind; she’s yearning for the very idea of what that relationship represented. The summer car rides, the laughs, the earnestness of their youth. She wants her girlhood back and this is the last moment she had it in her reaches before it was taken from her before she was ready.

And then the cold came, the dark days

When fear crept into my mind

You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

In the context of the songs that came in years to follow, we know those dark days are not just from their breakup; someone made her days very, very dark, and she’s replaying the moment before that penny dropped.

But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

Sure, the song is about making amends to the boy for breaking his heart, wishing she could get a do-over, but given how these themes are explored afterwards, it feels like it means more than that. Because after this point in time, she knows exactly how it feels not to be loved right, and she’s desperate to go back to a time when her world made sense.

I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind —> And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can" —> I regret you all the time

It’s just a constant loop of, this is the moment everything changed, and this is the last time I felt safe.

And then the last thing that just kind of clicked for me, is the recurring theme of reliving a moment over and over again and being unable to let it go. In Back to December, she’s replaying the moment she let him go, but again in light of what we know now, I don’t think it’s a reach to relate to the other closely related memories she relives in spite of herself. There are other examples of the theme of memories in her discography I’m sure, but this is obviously the one that sticks out in this discussion:

I go back to December all the time —> Memories feel like weapons —> The tomb won't close, stained glass windows in my mind

Sure I may be seeing things where there are none, but to me, underneath the puppy-love surface of “Back to December” are the seeds of trauma at work, yearning to return to a time before it happened and staying on the same “righteous” course with the right boy, the right behaviour, the right responses. She may not have the words to voice them at the time, but the feeling permeates all of her writing. Speak Now the album(s) is all about the things she wished she’d said or done in the moment, and this right here is one of the most poignant ones for so many reasons.

TL;DR: apologies to the boy in question, but it isn’t just about you.
