Falsettos

 Ahem... storytime everyone. So, take a seat, grab your tea and enjoy these next 2 minutes of me fangirling about Falsettos and... just that I guess...  

  Alright... I discovered Falsettos about 4 months ago. I was cleaning my room, listening to my “Daily Mix” on Spotify. In that playlist I came upon two songs I’ve never listened to: “Four Jews in a room bitching” and “Everyone hates his parents”. I remember really liking them. I thought they were weird but also really fun. The problem was that I wasn’t really paying attention to the lyrics. And the only phrases that stuck in my mind were:” Four Jews in a room plot a crime” and “We are manipulating people and we need to know our worst sides aren’t ignored”. I thought...hmm... ok... But then, when I listened to “Everyone hates his parents”, “You are gonna kill your mother /Don't feel guilty, kill your mother” was the only thing my brain picked up. To sum it up, I genuinely thought this was a crime musical. I thought it was going to revolve around a kid, killing his mother. I know, it sounds really stupid but that was what my brain understood.   

  After a week, I decided to finally watch this scary, deadly musical. I absolutely loved it. But after the first act ended, I was still waiting for the crime. I was constantly asking myself ‘when is Jason going to kill Trina?’. And then, “Everyone hates his parents” came. I think I heard my brain slapping itself. It was fine... I laughed at myself for a few seconds and then drowned in embarrassment.   

  The point is that from that moment on, I loved Falsettos. It's incredible. It’s brilliantly written, it’s clever, funny, it sneaks up on you, it makes you smile and ultimately makes you cry your soul out. Falsettos is all of that and I love it. And now, I’ll write about it. I’ll write a mini-essay for every song, analyzing the lyrics, and sharing my impressions of it. I’ll include my head cannons and a lot of opinions regarding different subjects.  

 I hope you’ll enjoy the series and my stories. Take care. Byeeeee!
