I'm ready for my closeup

do you ever pick up a book, read the first page and realise that you are about to fall in love with it, and you know that it will stick with you yet haunt you for many years ?? like no matter how hard you try it will be a piece of you now, dictating your perspectives and views ? apart of you feels so much anticipation, joy and excitement, but apart of you is like what the fuck have you done you silly sausage 

You know what just kills me is analyzing My Friends. How Sweeney says that his razors are warm in him hand, just like his wife was, and how that subtly sets up the idea that he is using his razors as a substitute for his wife. This is paid off in the later line he gives, “I think of you less and less as each day goes by.” This is, of course, referring to Johanna, the only thing left he has of his wife. You really don’t predict this arc will happen at the beginning, but it’s set up perfectly in this line! Another thing I noticed is that Mrs. Lovett sings over him during this line as well, trying to redirect the conversation to their relationship. This shows and sets up how she uses the razors, representing Sweeney’s motive for revenge and bloodlust, as a way to get her closer to him. Let me know what you think of this in the notes!
