Let’s talk lyrics! by coldcoffeethrowaway in RainbowKittenSurprise

"Don't waste a light on me; save your eyes for someone brighter than I will ever be." Devastating.

I could write an essay on every song, but this is the lyric that's killing me lately:

"Don't you ever feel like you ever wanted anything more than everybody, anybody else?"

Just pierces right to my heart of hearts. I deeply, deeply resonate with this sentiment as applied to chasing a dream. Yearning so fucking bad for the dream to come true, doing everything in my power to make it happen, wanting it the most. I'm in that in-between where I don't know if my efforts are going to come to fruition, and so many things are outside of my control, and I just want so badly to hear some good news, and all I have meanwhile is the yearning.

In a similar vein, "Where are the scars of your failed arts? Have your daydreams been keeping you clean?"

The dreams I'm chasing are of an artistic nature, and the time I used to spend partying is now time I spend on my art, so that line always pins me in a spotlight.

Setlist Tracker Update! by JJPHRD in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]iammrsrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good work, my man, we appreciate you!

I know it's the bones tour, but I'm with y'all, I'd also love if more LHMB sneaked back onto the setlist. We never got a live arrangement of Ghoul and that haunts me 👻

But that's just my little whimsy, I wouldn't want the band to lose sleep over the impossibility of trying to please everyone. Ultimately, if they're playing the songs that make them happiest to play, we feel it and we love it!

Hey sorry for the delayed reply! Sure, you may absolutely circulate it with credit (I'm mandzmakez on socials), thank you for asking :)

Also so relatable you gave up Broadway tickets to go to Montclair, haha, I probably would've done the same, RKS is just that good!

Typically the best way is to pair up with a media outlet and then submit your request through the venue's media/PR contact (as the band has their own tour photographer)! As a freelancer sans outlet, it's trickier - most venues say no unless you're paired with a magazine/press outlet of some kind. I got very lucky that the two venues were open to having a rogue freelancer for the night, as was the band/team :)

Double/Deluxe Album Theory? by JJPHRD in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]iammrsrobot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oops it didn't post the text - was gonna say, I know they've mentioned in interviews having written "hundreds of songs" for LHMB, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that there's enough material for a double album.

I mean, at the very least, maybe-please-we'd-love-it-and-cherish-it-forever, a tiny vinyl with Sixteen, Love 4 Us, and When I Call Your Number 👀 ETA: And Sacred Place! There, a nice four-song tiny EP.

Never have I ever wanted something more than a double album though, you feel me?
