Tomorrow I get to see my favourite band live. My Chemical Romance.
Sometimes I don’t really know how to express how much much this band and their music and their messages mean to me. But here are some lyrics from a musical that kind of explain part of it. MCR changed my life.
Who can say if I’ve been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
I have been changed for good
GALINDA: (spoken) Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle
ELPHABA: (spoken) My dear Father
BOTH: There’s been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz
ELPHABA: But of course, I’ll care for Nessa
GALINDA: But of course, I’ll rise above it
BOTH: For I know that’s how you’d want me to respond (Spoken:) Yes There’s been some confusion for you see, my roommate is
GALINDA: Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
ELPHABA: Blonde.
Don’t be offended by my frank analysis,
think of it as personality dialysis,
now that i’ve chosen to become a
pal, a sister and advisor,
there’s nobody wiser!
not when it comes to…
POPULAR! i know about popular.
and with an assist from me,
to be who you’ll be,
instead of dreary who you were…uh, are.
there’s nothing that can stop you,
from becoming popular… lar…
la la, la la!
we’re gonna make you pop-u-lar!
when i see depressing creatures,
with unprepossessing features,
i remind them on their own behalf
to - think - of
celebrated heads of state,
or specially great communicators!
did they have brains or knowledge?
don’t make me laugh!
they were POPULAR!
please! it’s all about popular.
it’s not about aptitude,
it’s the way you’re viewed,
so it’s very shrewd to be,
very very popular like ME!
