The Outsiders Musical on my Birthday 5/18/25

Preface this by saying I have never seen the show irl:

I actually cannot listen to this song because when I do I completely lose it for the rest of the day and I have thoughts so they're going here.

This song is insanely awesome with all the lyrics oh my god and QUOTES FROM THE BOOK ABJSNOWNWOFNEKKQOSJFKFKSK

"I used to glorify how Cool Hand Luke was free He wasn′t tied to anything" there are so many references to Cool Hand Luke throughout the show this needs its own post if i'm gonna fit in all my thoughts/pos

"Can you imagine how proud mom and dad would be" OH MY GOD TEHSJENDKWNKSNDKDNWKJSJDGWJWKWLSK -I think about this all the time even before I ever heard this song. Like actually imagine if Mrs and Mr Curtis could see their kids, not just how much they went through during the main story but how much they did for each other and what perseverant kids they raised (I missed instructions in science class a couple days ago cause I was thinking too hard about this/srs)

"I could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys Living on the wrong side of cities Boys with black eyes Who jumped at their own shadows Hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets And looked at stars And ached for somethin′ better" i'm on eep meds rn and literally cannot verbalized all the thoughts I have about this but I can say I genuinely got goosebumps reading it

"Always on the outside looking in, bruises on their eyes wearing grease for their disguise" to be honest i've always misheard this as "roses on their eyes" until I read the lyrics just now and like OH MY GOD???!!! Idk why but this line always hits me like a cement truck/pos

"I wondered for a long time how to start writing about something that was important to me And I finally began like this" AS A PERSON WHOS READ THE BOOK AN INSANE AMOUNT OF TIMES AND LOVES THE OUTSIDERS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE (except, like, my friends lol) I GOTTA SAY THAT THE BOOK QUOTES ABSOLUTELY KILL ME AND RESURRECT MY EXISTENCE AT THE SAME TIME HOLY SHIT

"For the hopeless boy with the reckless grin For the down-and-outs who can never win On the outside lookin′ in Looking down, Johnny Cade will smile again He was just too damn good for growin' old And in his memory I′ll stay gold Stay gold" I don't even have the words but I think my fellow outsiders-obsessed-neurodivergents get it

like "FOR THE HOPELESS BOY WITH THE RECKLESS GRIN" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?!!??!??/POSPOSPOS

"AND IN HIS MEMORY ILL STAY GOLD"

this song is one of the most awesome songs ever created

'Thr money went West, take the grease to the East'
