#sorry santa fe

[i-ideate]

hi yes 'Never Planned on You' is one of the most beautiful songs/scenes in contemporary theatre as far as romance is concerned. You're telling me he sang a monologue about how his idea of love is changing??? While DRAWING HER????? DURING A MEETCUTE??? AND HE FLIRTS WITH TEASING???? AND HE LEAVES THE DRAWING BEHIND WHEN HE LEAVES????? HELLO????

so this poll has most certainly been done already but uhh

Okay newsies fans time to cry. Okay so I love Santa Fe as a song so much. But I have a suggestion that makes the song 10 times more emotional.

Changing "let me go far away somewhere they won't ever find me"

To "Let me go, far away, somewhere *he* wont ever find me"

Who's he? Is it Davey? Is it Snyder? WHO KNOWS. But it makes the song more emotional because it's more personal.

If you look at it as "he" being Davey, then you have the element of guilt in Jack. He didn't want to run away, he has to run away. Even if that means leaving the strike. He can't bear to stay and fight anymore, because he's tired of fighting, and he doesn't want Davey to convince him to stay.

If you look at it as "he" being Snyder, than you have the element of exhaustion in Jack. He's tired of running. He wants to get to Santa Fe to have a final destination where he doesn't have run anymore, where he's at home. And the part of him that wants to stay wants Snyder gone, so he can feel safe enough to stay with his family, the newsies, with Davey and katherine and Crutchie. He ultimately wants to be somewhere where he's safe and Snyder can never find him.

Anyway time to cry about Santa Fe

Someone writing a musical circa 1992: “Santa Fe… my old friend… I can’t spend my whole life… dreamin’…” Hey, what rhymes with “dreamin’”?

Someone a few desks over from them, not paying attention at all: Semen

Original person: …….I can work with that actually

*Twitching facedown on the floor, frothing and foaming at the mouth.*: Ghghghghgh…. Autoheart…. Songs…. So fitting…. For Simon, Betty, Magic Man…. Their sad sad polycule (A/N: their polycule I made up in my mind)….. oh my god. oh my god……

Ahhhh im bad at conversation starting uh uh who's your favorite newsie? What's your top 3 songs? What's your most unpopular newsie opinión?

Dnshfnsdh don't worry about starting conversations I'm equally bad at keeping them going so we'll work something out :)

Anywayyy I think my favorite newsie is Tommy boy ! (yes my favs seem to change pretty often but I'll always have a soft spot for him)

This is tough but for the songs I would say 1- Once and for all 2- Brooklyn's here and 3- Santa fe

Also anon I have many newsies opinions and I don't actually know how unpopular they are but I'm just gonna put this one out there : I like Ralbert but only as queerplatonic. I can't see them as romantic but imo they have a lot of qpr potential !

What about you ??? (You don't have to answer obv but I'm genuinely interested 👀)

Hello fansies I need help pleeease, I recently saw a cover of Santa Fe and I can’t find it anymore!! Here’s what I remember:

It was the MOVIE version of Santa Fe (and there was a comment that said that)

It was filmed live on a street but the audio was pretty good

Singer was a white boy with dark hair, between 16-23 (im bad at guessing ages)

His name had a J and/or D in it

when I looked up his name there were only very few videos with him

The thumbnail was just a screenshot from the video with his face

That video was on a YouTube channel that was more for other live music, the description said it’s a part of their street music series

The video was at least a year old but idk exactly how old

The channel name or video description said something with broadway
