Franz Ferdinand mini review
40'
Really love the guitar on this one, it's got a really funky dark sort of groove to it. Just looking at the lyrics I'd have to guess it's about someone burying something, though who or what is unclear. It definitely wouldn't feel out of place over footage of a killer hiding a body.
Or it could be someone glancing over a ledge, thinking about all of the ramifications of following through, thinking about those 40 feet left.
Or it could be referring to depth of a lake or other body of water.
Not entirely sure, haha
The Lobster Quadrille
When I first put this one I hadn't made the Alice and Wonderland connection, so realizing that I knew the lyrics as a poem was a really fun experience. The instrumental on this one is sinister and builds to this grand crescendo and then immediately pulls you back in for one more round of the haunting chorus. Perhaps the crescendo is the oysters finally being consumed, with the last chorus repetition being them sealed away in the belly of the beast. Also I really love the deep vocals, they hold this sort of sick honey to them. They really capture the charismatic nastiness of the Walrus.
Swallow, Smile
It's almost nostalgic before the vocals kick in, with this consistent little guitar motif that evolves somewhat, but remains the backbone of the song. The vocals are smooth, yet they feel raw and almost anxious? The entire song has this sort of nervous energy, like you're waiting for a release of the tension and it never happens. I feel like this intertwines with the lyrics very nicely. They seem to be someone reminiscing none too fondly on a past relationship.
The singer states that "come on, let's fight, let's feel alive / it's the only feeling i've kept towards you that resembles any passion ". However, this is contrasted by the final verse, which is as follows: "well, that was easy waiting / everything's easy now / oh, and the days are 'oh so normal' / but oh baby / how i miss you." This, to me, suggests a sort of yearning for that toxic push and pull.
Another indication of this being a toxic relationship is the lyric " hiding from the twitch and crash / of the mood i hear you hatch " which I don't think I need to really explain.
Quite honestly, this song works for me as both a song about a romantic relationship and as a song about a familial relationship between mother and child, though the second interpretation is mostly based on vibes and self-projection haha
It's a really unique song, I don't think I've heard anything else quite like this. I really like it!
youtube
I did this as sort of an impromptu thing for fun, but if anyone else wants to send me music to do a lil write-up on I'd be glad to!
@digital-non-existence here's the review i said id do, hope you like it (:

no thoughts head empty the oppressive stagnancy of legacy in ever after high dragging me round the block yet again
it's such a shame that we get so little explanation about the actual mechanics of destiny, which is the entire premise of the show, bc it's so juicy. like what power does destiny hold when you rip away milton's lies and centuries of assumptions and traditions. esp bc despite raven signing herself as the evil queen in the real storybook of legends, when the snow white fairytale actually happens in dragon games she's playing one of the seven dwarves and her mother has reprised her role. like how much of that was because of the characters' actions and how much was destiny pulling on old, familiar threads. keeps me up at night.
a lot of this is probably just like, plot holes and writer hot potato but i like making it that deep, that's half of the fun. my personal interpretation is that fate is a wild thing that desires repetition and they developed the system of fairytale legacy bloodlines to keep those repetitions predictable and contained, instead of wreaking havoc whenever and wherever they please. 
which lends itself to some really juicy exploration of how legacy is a duty as much as it is a privilege, and how to be a princess or a witch or a hero or a dragon is to be the same thing in the end: the lamb destiny slaughters on the altar to sate the ever-ravenous narrative. to keep the flock safe. keep the unknown that prowls beyond the beaten path at bay. because if a there is always a mother who will be cruel, or a maiden who will fall into a sleep like death, or a child who will become a bird, isn’t it better to know who, and how, and when? isn’t better if it’s you, who has known your whole life that you must be eaten, be poisoned, be stripped of your humanity, rather than anybody else, who wasn’t raised to see it as an honour instead of a great and terrible injustice?

HIIIII MIGHT I PERHAPS REQUEST A HERM? (OR OAKWORTHY I WOULDNT COMPLAIN) i cannot BELIEVE nobody has suggested him with the "i (kinda) like you back" pallette yet. its LITERALLY HIMB <3
TW for a little bit of blood and insinuation of mortal injury and death
🩷
You got it! Took me....ten days to finish this since I started it right after my Hermie with the lilies, but I'm glad I had a bit of will power to finish 🧡 thank you for the request, my dear!
Thinking about if Normal had gotten to hold him and if Hermie got to tell him how he liked him. Thinking about a lot of things that we can do for our loved ones before they pass and afterward, too.

(Tbh I was tempted to redo it and add *some* gore but I will do something else in my own time for that)
