Plural Music Thread

A thread of songs that are relatable to systemhood 👥

Please feel free to add on!

We are the weirdos

Inflated egos

The filthy misbehaved

The ones you dream of

The ones you can’t shake

We’re living in your brain

These are my friends

These are my friends

I love them

I love them

Sometimes I close my eyes to talk to you

When I can’t make up my mind since you make it up to

One in the same, one in the same, it always felt so real

Lemme hold your hand, hold our hand, so you can feel what I feel

Insane, I'm sure

We're living inside me

Are several girls galore

Once more ignore

I'll wrap me around we

I’m never quite there at all

So I'm putting it all on the table

(Tell em', Pink)

You don't know me well enough to label me, sick, or even disturbed

When you break it down I'm just two girls

Trying to blend, trying to vibe

(I'm trying)

Trying to live just one life

(It’s so hard)

Alright, yes, can we just try to figure this out?

Can we just talk about this please?

Nah, I don't wanna talk to you

Okay, you wanna keep fighting?

Yeah, I wanna keep on fighting

Alright, fair enough

One, two, three, here we go

Having an argument with myself down Queensbury Street

When I wake up, I'm afraid

Somebody else might take my place

When I wake up, I'm afraid

Somebody else might end up being me

Look in the mirror and tell me

What it is like to be free

How do I grasp reality

When I don't have an identity?

Plus I got a lot of cool ones

Up inside my head now

Maybe I should shave the sides and let them out to play

You would probably hate them everybody else does

At least they got something to say

And they got somewhere to stay

Well, you look like yourself

But you're somebody else

Only it ain't on the surface

Well, you talk like yourself

No, I hear someone else though

Now you're making me nervous

I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.

You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.

The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.

Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.

And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.

Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.

Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.

Wendy Carlos pictured with the Moog System 55 a staple in her solo projects and iconic film scores, including for Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' (1972)

One of electronic music's most important figures, Wendy Carlos is a true pioneer of the craft with countless influential albums and scores. She provided technical advice and insights to Robert Moog during the development of the Moog Synthesizer, an instrument that would revolutionize the music landscape. ⁠⁠Her album 'Sonic Seasonings' (1972) is an early example of an ambient record, blending the then-new synth with field recordings to create an entirely new listening experience — years before the term "ambient" was even coined!⁠
