Cuphead show theme song lyrics

TLDR: My friend with benefits has been giving me mixed emotions. He doesn’t want to worry about the future because it hurts him that we can’t be together. But he shows that he wants to be in a relationship through his actions and words. I’m confused on whether I should keep this going because I don’t want to keep hurting him, if I am.
A couple of weeks, my friend and I went to the gym and he asked if we could chill in the car for a bit. He ended up playing a bunch of romantic songs that were about missing physical contact and break up songs by Taylor Swift. For context, we hooked up for a few weeks then decided to take a break and just be friends. Last week, we ended up hooking up again but agreed to be friends with benefits. He’s been texting me everyday since. He’ll ask me about my day, or vent to me about how he’s feeling about his social and academic life. Sometimes we’ll sext, especially the after we depart from hooking up. The other day, we were walking and he was holding onto my arm and hands. He kept playing with my hair and kissed my hand. He invites me to go have lunch/dinner with him then we end up hanging out or hooking up in his dorm. He also asks to facetime. A few nights ago, we hooked up again. He called me baby a few times during sex then he asked to cuddle after we both came. He showed me some of the things he’s interested in while I was lying on his shoulder. We always end up talking about deep and personal things like his depression or stress with work/school when we hang out.
We’ve talked about being together once, but I’m still kind of in love with my ex. He’s told me that he wants to be with me, but not if I’m still seeing my ex. I didn’t want to lie to him, so we agreed to be friends with benefits. I can tell it hurts him through his actions and because he tells me how he’s losing sleep and can’t think straight. I feel bad and I really want to be with him, but I’ve known my ex for almost 10 years and it’s hard to let go and move on to someone that I’ve only known for less than a year and I don’t even know if he wants to be with me in that way.
Based on the text, does it sound like he wants to romantically be in a relationship with me?

Clearly a backing track for AATWT, is that him on harp? Haunting and possible to have it on loop for 8 hours.

So like most people, the first place I explored was the moon but this was after exploring the village a lot and talking to everyone. I had some trouble controlling and landing the spaceship for the first time so I spent some time getting used to it as well. First, I talked to the guy on the moon and explored most of it. Then checked the rotation device on one of the poles. This is when I first learned about the quantum moon when rotating the dial to focus on each planet. As I was focusing on each planet I realized that the quantum moon was changing positions.. very cool, I noticed a subtle theme song starting to play which I thought I had triggered by learning about the quantum moon. The music intensified as I rotated the dial on to each planet.
Then I focused the dial on the sun. Something looked off about it... It seemed way larger than normal and a darker red. The music kept swelling and I started to feel uneasy about how large the sun was and how eerie the music was getting. I started to wonder if I caused the sun to change similar to how I was able to influence the quantum moons position. Finally the sun shrank and exploded towards me and ultimately killing me.
Looking back on this now is funny knowing that it was completely a coincidence that I had pointed the dial at the sun at the end of the loop. But I also feel lucky that my first loop carried so much weight with it and motivated me to learn more about the quantum moon, why the sun just exploded, and why I was still alive

I was just thinking about how there’s many songs where the lead vocal singer usually takes credit or is known for making the whole song, but in reality the only thing they provide is vocals and maybe their own lyrics. There’s a lot more to making a song, so I was wondering if there are any artists/musicians out there that do it all from start to finish? Sure, I could google this, but I’d rather see what Reddit has to say!

I’ve loved Mac for years and I have to say that ROS is probably his greatest song ever. The beat, lyrics, meaning with the whole rain or sunshine thing, everything. Never get tired of playing it start to finish, a true masterpiece. 10/10.

I want to know what people think about Arc 8 until now, haven't seen any posts about it as a whole. Tbh i haven't actually read anything about Arc 8, I dropped Re:ZERO on Arc 7 chapter 100 i think, i just thought the series's writing had dropped considerably, the teleportations having no explanation other than plot convenience, the ending feeling very rushed after a very slow paced arc, the massive fake out that were the deaths of everyone in the gladiator island only for Subaru to get his powers back right after, Tanza not dying (I like her, but come on, atleast give us a reasonable explanation), Emilia having massive plot armor, the thing with Beattrice pulling Shamak again out of nowhere to protect them from an attack that also came out of nowhere with no build up, Subaru being nerfed again, the whole cross-dressing and infantilization thing that went on for too long imo, although i started liking how the infantilization was affecting Subaru's personality.
My biggest problem though is definitely the plot armor and fake outs, it's the one thing i hate the most in pretty much all of fiction (from well-written shows), there were never really any deaths on ReZERO, atleast that i could remember of, but the reason was very obvious, Return by Death, and even though he would always save everyone, something would happen that would change his character or a big twist happened in the story, something that was missing in Arc 7(atleast till where i read). There were no twists, no character development (Subaru's infantilization changing his personality doesn't count), no major character death or event to make up for it, nothing!
Though, from what i've read, Arc 7 actually continues in Arc 8 instead of it being a finished arc, that lighted a spark of hope that atleast some of those problems could be solved, especially since that means the twists or whatever can still happen, that's why i wanted to know what do you guys think about Arc 8, especially it's writing, did anything change from Arc 7? Are there new things or themes being explored? Do you think there will be a big twist or character development that will be explored?

Hello!! I went to the chicago show and it was amazing! but i was a bit sad that they didn’t play vines. Vines is my favorite song and the first song i’ve ever heard from hippo campus. i was wondering if anyone has a live recording or a video of vines that they would be willing to share with me? thank youuuu

So lately there have been some interesting shows with this theme (love after world domination, miss kwroitsu from the monster development department and currently marginal service) Every time I talk to someone about one of these and recommend it they get dismissed as "I don't like Power Rangers", "I don't like sitai" or simply "why I don't" can someone explain this to me Why so many people just don't like it even though the shows in general are very different from each other (at least all the ones I mentioned are very different from standard sentai)

Hello to anyone passing through! Since no subreddit for Norah Jones is Playing Along previously existed, I decided to start one! I hope you'll stay a while and listen along with us!
​
If you are unfamiliar with the show, here is the official description provided on their website:
"Norah Jones is a Multi-GRAMMY winning singer and pianist who loves playing music with people, so she started her own podcast to do just that. Each episode, she sits down with a different guest for impromptu musical collaborations and candid conversation. Her guests come from all walks of life and every musical style and you never know where the songs will take them. So, come hang out in the studio. Norah Jones is Playing Along!"

TL;DR: Only Vanna, Sona and Crew have any balance. Only Jex is being allowed to be consistently happy. This is all harming the show.
I don't think that it can really be argued that the writing for couples is incredibly imbalanced and it's harming literally every single couple on the show. Some couples do everything and some do nothing. Some are on all the time, while others are never featured. Basically none of them are actually happy.
Jex
It's been said time and time again that all Jex do are have sex and talk about Sonny. And they do that a lot. But that's really not my problem with them. My problem is that while literally no other couple gets to be happy for any stretch of time, Jex faces nothing but endless amounts of happiness that is only ever "threatened" by obstacles that only exist in their heads, only for us viewers to then be told that they've overcome incredible odds to be together.
So I ask you? What are those obstacles? Cameron? He got cheated on and then dumbed on NYD only to forgive Joss two months later (incredibly unrealistic by the way). And nobody even found out about this. Cameron's own mother was even made to console the women that broke her son's heart because she had no idea what happened to him, because Josslyn guilt tripped Cam into feeling like any harm that came Dex's way would be his fault. And speaking of Dex, literally NO ONE cares that he and Joss are together. Carly said live your live, Michael said that he was powerless to stop them, and Sonny literally said that he didn't care. Like those were his exact words. Then you have Trina who still doesn't know the full story. So the only person who does actually care is Spencer, and instead of being written like the friend who rightfully suspects foul play, instead he's being written as an obsessive jerk.
And as for Sonny being a threat to Dex, all Jex has to do is NOT turn over the tape. How hard is that? So if the show doesn't want give Jex any obstacles, fine. Don't. But for the LOVE OF GOD please stop acting like Joss and Dex are star-crossed lovers who've overcome unbelievable odds to be together. Because as it stands, none of their angst comes across as angst because nothing bad ever actually happens to or for them.
Sprina
I'm sorry, but what exactly was the point of putting Sprina together if you weren't going to allow them to be happy for more than one day in a row? Is it because your too cowardly to allow Jex to face tension and disagreement that you instead have forced Sprina to endure all of it? I mean seriously. You put Sprina together only to then immediately have Trina get upset at Spencer for being rude to Dex. Then you have the two of them get back on good terms during the IP story line, only to then have them turn around and immediately have tension over Esme and Ace. Then they again get back into each others good graces only for Spencer to then pick a fight with Dex and upset Trina again. Then for the third time they make up only to then have Trina get upset with Spencer again because of Victor's evidence.
So before anyone comments about all of this being Spencer's fault, OF COURSE IT'S HIS FAULT. Because that's what the writers have decided. That's how TV shows work. So my question isn't why are Sprina having problems, my question is why have the writers decided that constant tension and disappointment is good for their relationsip? And please don't blame fans. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants this couple to have less to do with Esme and Ace and Jex than Sprina fans. So this constant need for those three to come between Sprina and their happiness is 100% the fault of the writers. And it feels as though this is happening because neither Esme or Jex are capable of standing on their own. And if that's true, then that's the fault of the writers. Stop punishing Sprina for that. Because right now, I can't feel any kind of angst towards Sprina when they never actually have happiness.
Tolly
I truly love Tolly, but every time I see them on screen together, I know either something terrible has happened or about to happen. Because, be honest with yourself, how many happy moments have you seen between these two over the TEN YEARS that they've been together? Was it the time that TJ was kidnapped and tortured? Was it the time that Molly cheated with Brando after 72 hours of no communication with TJ after Jordan lied to her? Was it just last month when they were told that they couldn't have children? Was it their commitment ceremony that TJ seems to still resent because it wasn't an official wedding? Was it the last time they made love? (Spoiler alert, we've never seen this). Again, the angst ain't angsting because we never actually see them happy for more than an episode at a time.
ChaLynn
As bad as the treatment of Sprina has been, ChaLynn has probably still been worse. And why is that? Because from day, their entire relationship has revolved around and been controlled by a third party character. It started with baby Louise. It was a cute enough story to use as the start of ChaLynn's relationship, but once the rouse was over, it didn't actually lead to a relationship. That came about later when the two worked together to take Linc down. Except they both artificially decided that they couldn't mix business with pleasure. But the thing is, they sucked at the business. THEY LITERALLY ACHIEVED NOTHING. Not one thing. Brooklyn got the rights to her songs back not because she and Chase were successful in their attempt to blackmail Linc, but because Brook Lynn made a deal with him. And this in part came about because she and Chase weren't on good terms because she lied to him about his ability to get his badge back.
Then, once Linc was finally taken down, it again had nothing to do with what Brook Lynn and Chase accomplished. Instead, it happened because Blaze had the courage to call Linc out on stage, which is turn gave Brook Lynn the courage to do the same. So in the end, not only did Brook Lynn and Chase fail to get evidence against Linc, but Chase wasn't even the one who gave Brook Lynn the courage to stand up for herself, which means that the show wasted 18 months on a story only for it do nothing to strengthen ChaLynn, but instead actively make them worse. So much so that now, nobody really cares about this couple and fewer people actually want them together.
And why is that? Because now that they finally are together, it's not because of the strength of their love or connection, but because Tracy got involved. Chase believes that Brook Lynn's good word and his hard work is what got him his badge back. But of course that can't be the reason he did, because that would mean that they were headed for happiness. So instead, ChaLynn is only together because Tracy throw her weight around at Brook Lynn's request, which means that Brook Lynn is once again lying to Chase about his job. And because Brook Lynn is lying to Chase, she's now being blackmailed by Tracy to cause harm at Deception and harm people that both she and Chase care about, meaning that Chase will have another reason to no trust or like Brook Lynn. And let's not forget, Chase didn't even really decided to pursue Brook Lynn again on his own. Rather it was Tracy that shamed Chase into asking Brook Lynn to get together. So again, it's hard to feel angst for ChaLynn when they're never actually happy.
Millow
Millow is really just the worst parts of Jex and ChaLynn combined. A relationship that started because of third party (Wiley)? Check. A relationship that started after an unnecessary act of infidelity (Willow cheating on a dying Chase) that could've been avoided if the person in the relationship could've just acted like an adult and taken the time to speak to the person they claimed to care about? Check. A relationship that's almost entirely dependent on made up obstacles that they themselves could've either avoided all together or quickly fixed (Nina, Dex, Chase, Willow's cancer, IT, Sonny) Check. Again, what are we doing here?
Terry and Yuri
This is the one couple on this show that's universally beloved and yet they get less that zero screen time. Why show Terry being in a happy relationship and thriving when she can remain a PC hire that's rarely seen and mention/referenced even less? Why show Yuri evolved as a character beyond his role as a body guard when you can just send him off screen for the summer to Russia to help translate for Laura when Valentine is already going and is known to speak Russian? I mean, can you even imagine?
The Rest
Remember when Liz and Finn had potential only for them to make Finn an overbearing pest and give him the meatiest part's of Liz's 25th anniversary story and thus soil any potential this relationship had? Remember how (before today), Jordan hadn't had anyone in her life romantically/sexually for 3 years? Remember the last time the show did literally anything to give Kristina (a hottie regardless of the actress) a love interest? Remember when gay couples existed? Remember when Nava was good before you sacrificed them for a character that you've now reduced to a one note "where's my baby?" being? Remember when we saw Laura/Kevin and Mac/Felica, Lucy/Martin for reasons that weren't tied back to their families? Remember when Austin and Britt had mad chemistry only for the show to ignore it and force her together with Cody only to them immediately kill her? Remember when Maxie was actually treated like a person with romantic value?
Conclusion
So in conclusion, they only relationships that you can really make an argument for being balanced in anyway, shape, or form with both happy and troublesome moments are Vanna, Sona, and Crew. And because of this, the show is suffering. Nobody wants just one couple to be happy while the rest are all different levels of depressed, angry and upset. Nobody wants only one or two couples to get all of the writing. Nobody wants to see the same three or four emotional beats played over and over again. But sadly, nobody also expects anything to change.

I have recently gotten into Kpop, specifically through watching Peak Time, Kingdom: Legendary War, and becoming a fan of Monsta X. I have noticed there is A LOT of references to guns and shooting in song lyrics and in dance moves, and lots of gunshot sound effects. Monsta X alone probably have 3-4 songs with both lyrics and dance moves about shooting. Their song "Shoot Out" even ends with a dance move mimicking a shot gun with a shot gun loading sound.
I am an older millennial American, so mass shootings had not become a sadly frequent event while I was still in school. However, I know for younger generations who have had to go through mass shootings or participate in active shooter drills at school, gun violence is an important issue and can be very triggering. I can't help but contrast that to Korean society where guns are completely illegal and even in crime movies/dramas, gangsters only have knives, baseball bats, and steel pipes. I think that because gun violence is so non-existent, it's like a fictional thing to the the Korean population, like something they only see in Hollywood and Hong Kong action movies. That is why they so frequently use gun references and imagery in their music. Guns are just something they see a lot in foreign pop culture, not something tangible to them.
I had already noticed the popularity of gun effects in Monsta X's music, but I was super shocked by Kingdom: Legendary War when TWO different groups (SF9 and Stray Kids) put on performances holding prop guns, mock shooting each other, and dancing around while waving the guns! That would NEVER ever happen in any Western music performances. No artist would ever dance around holding gun props on MTV or any dance or music competition show. That just would never ever happen.
For those who are longtime Kpop fans, have you heard of any bad reactions from Americans to Kpop gun sounds and imagery? Or do you have negative reaction to it yourself?

I completed the ritruals in the book by Rufus Opus. I got a resolution. I did have a couple of weird things that occurred. One of the strangest was that there were planets that were awesome the day of and usually the day after but the third day was nothing or almost like a planet hangover--for lack of a better term.
I'll use Mars as an example since that was the topic earlier. The first day I could pick up my boundaries and slap you with them. My theme song was Walk by Pantera. After a couple of days though, I lost my temper a couple of times. I was more on edge. I don't normally lose my temper much anymore so it was out of place for me. At first I thought perhaps I wasn't focused enough on a goal. It could have simply been the number of days in between the planets.
I'm not knocking the book or the rituals at all. I enjoyed the hell out of it. I would be interested in hearing other people's experiences with it and if any of that occurred with anyone else.

Alrightttttttttty then

So far I’ve sent him a bumper sticker with a picture of Donald Trump, a t-shirt with the words “What Would Jesus Do?”, a confederate flag that doubles as a curtain and a clock that sings the theme song from The Dukes of Hazard every hour on the hour. He must be speechless because I’ve yet to receive a thank you card, but now I’m out of ideas. Any suggestions?

OK, so my wife is a Prince fanatic, just as I am a Cure fanatic. She showed me some stuff that the Prince store is offering for sale, like sheet sets themed after the Purple Rain artwork:
https://store.prince.com/product/5QCMPR059/purple-rain-floral-sheet-set?cp=103229_103232
How incredible would it be to have a Distintegration patterned comforter or sheet set with those amazing abstract floral patterns? I think the Cure needs to step up their merch game on their web site!
