I donāt think I will ever be able to not like William Finnās music because how is:
āScrubby dubby dubby
Look at Marvin take a shower
Look at Marvin in the tubby
Scrubby dubby dubby
He is soapy with the soap he uses
Everyone can see that heās a wet Marvin boyā
Not only a BOP but also actually a song about immense guilt over your identity and actions and desires AND an exploration of how that guilt can affect you when youāre in the shower and feel vulnerable for once
#Marvin takes a victory shower#someone please ask me to dissect this song š#william finn#adore all of that manās music#heās so good at taking mundane#typical#everyday shit#and exploring it in a way thatās very accurate and familiar#but deeper than most people would normally look#ESPECIALLY with things like Spelling Bee#The Chess Game#I mean to a lesser degree And Theyāre Off#like obviously thatās a shitty situation and you donāt have to go that deep to recognize that#but the way itās executed#focuses on the smaller stuff that tends to affect you more in the long run#lines like#āplus they discussed the weatherā#āthe band starts to play as the horses go roundā#āpeople loose money AND have funā#just good shit#the way he explores such mundane stories in such a human way#it just has a touch of reality that I donāt see out of a lot of other shows or composers#so so brilliant#Iād love to do one of his shows one day#falsettos#marvin trilogy#in trousers
