Why don’t male musicians dress cool and extravagantly and weird anymore? Don’t y’all now you’re performers? Why do y’all just wear khaki pants and flannels with the buttons all the way up? Where’s your disco outfits? Where’s your hammer pants? Why aren’t y’all out here looking like Liberace or Elton John? Where is your David Byrne big suit? Why’re y’all charging so much for people to see you wearing t shirt and shorts? Where are the iconic musician outfits that people used to love to dress like?

Or you could just? Let people wear what they want??

Ed Sheeran I fucking know it’s you.

when christian artists change the line in hallelujah from “maybe there’s a God above” to “I know that there’s a God above” >:c

#idk why i’m so unreasonably angry#maybe cuz it’s my fav line

it’s also because Leonard COHEN (!) was Jewish and this is a quintessentially Jewish line, and changing it to that level of Annoying Certainty is stripping it of its Jewish meaning and imbuing it with that particularly American smug evangelical Christian attitude that makes me tired, so very tired

THAT IS EXACTLY WHY

I don’t think I’ve heard any cover artist sing my favorite verses

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

um woah

I will always hit the reblog button so hard for Hallelujah but ESPECIALLY mentions of the elusive final verses which are just about my favorite lyrics ever. Why do people always omit the best part of the song??

In Yiddish

In Hebrew

In Ladino

It got better

Also people keep putting it on Christmas albums? Like not only is it a Jewish song, holiday albums are pure cheese. Hallelujah is about losing faith. It’s like putting Losing My Religion on a Christmas album because it has the word Religion in the title.

I…had no idea this was a traditional Jewish song. That makes me all the more confused on why it was used in Shrek 1 the way it was.
