My Comic/essay On Why I Love Phantom Of The Paradise As A Trans Artist. I May End Up Editing It And Making

Phantom of the Paradise Out of Touch THURSDAY

[MY MUSIC IS FOR PHOENIX, ONLY SHE CAN SING IT]

Still can't get over the matching Paul Williams puppets from when he appeared on The Muppet Show.

Anyways what if Swan was a Muppet lmao

i must have a crap ton of space between my ears because it took me this long to figure out why some folks (myself included) may not have recognized "Somebody Super Like You" as a rework/musical mutilation of "Phantom's Theme"

The chord progression of Phantom's Theme's verses is altered slightly in Somebody Super, so the brunt of the similarity comes from the "i-VI-i-VI" heard at the very start of each verse - and from a musical standpoint, those chords on their own aren't terribly unique. You can hear them in the guitar riff of Echoes and the overture to ALW's Phantom Of The Opera, among oodles of other examples.

Interestingly, within the film, the progression is also in the verses of "Old Souls" (albeit in the key of C minor), which'd lead one to think that Somebody Super and Life At Last were both ripping it off, just different parts of it, when this wasn't actually the case

The similarities between Somebody Super and Phantom's Theme would've been made obvious during the bridge, which introduces a key change and a contrasting, major chord progression, kept identical in both songs. Issue being: the bridge of Phantom's Theme wasn't included in the film, likely for the sake of pacing. it's a creative decision that 100% made sense for the scene, but would unfortunately have musical repercussions later down the line.

probably common knowledge but that's my autism for the day

berserk people are finding my posts. ive played myself

-[DESCRIPTION: Swan stands around and sighs. "mmmghmghgh... hungry..." he walks forth, "i'll go make food then. egg time.".

Gets to in front of a stove top, his hands holds an egg, then begins to tap it against a surface to crack it. Breaking apart the eggshell, an entire baby bird plops out, a mistake of nature called winslow leach. Looking down in horror, swan can only cringe as baby bird winslow makes eye contact as he drips amniotic fluids. ]- (august 27, 2023) *throws chair out the window.* im using this shade of greenish yellow as the background to convey my emotions for all these comics.
