There isn't a single song from 35mm I don't like. I can't stop listening to it and sing music from it. I'm going to do anything it takes to make it happen in my city!
I absolutely adore this song. The entire story around a woman falling in love with another woman in a secret underground gay bar and just having to deal with that in her time period (during prohibition) is astounding. The cellonin the back is just 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
The control she has in this song is absolutely fantastic. If you've heard her before, this isn't exactly how she sounds all the time, so she's manipulating her voice to match the song, which she also does for "The Ballad of Sara Berry" and it's just phenomenal. Her normal voice is great too, but when she changes it for a song or role, that's where she shines. It's beautiful.
This song is one of the most beautifully meaningful pieces I've ever heard. It's the epitome of a young college student looking for that one special person to make their life happy. I connect with it in the way that one man makes her life bright and party-like but when he is not around her, her life feels as if it's missing something.
[THE BROAD] We don't speak of names and faces Why should we? We don't speak of husbands or homes Or work or wives and happy lives All we've got are lips on faces Moving flawlessly Holding secrets in our clothes On the nights I catch you standing Are you waiting for me? At the counter of this bar Speakeasy, hole in the wall We minuet to cigarette and brandy Your favorite armagnac Prohibition but there's no harm But when you strike your goodbye pose Everybody knows, everybody knows The party, well, it goes too And damn it all, darling The party goes with you ...And I'm left with all the messes Da, di, da Cleaning up for vows in gold Our fraught affair turned solitaire Wishing to take back Merely one of my yeses Aching to be yours And have my story all retold
so this debate is from four years ago, but in my opinion, the song is about a woman who is deeply in love with her husband but he cant love her the way she needs. i love how songs can be interpreted different ways and have countless different stories behind them.
I've pictured it as a couple some time after their divorce, with the woman wanting to be remarried and him entertaining her, him enjoying his time at the bar together, but not having any interest in having her back. "One of my 'yes's" referring to her agreeing to the divorce. I don't think it's anything near the real meaning, but it's how I like to interpret it
@@Izzy-bq1rc I picture it being about her mourning the loss of her husband, and how empty everything feels now that she can only remember the times they shared.
I wonder what she means by "the gayest party" though?? And the fact that she says "sad but true" afterwards?? I assumed she was in love with a woman, making the "sad but true" sarcastic, but the song could also be about a gay man?? EDIT: oop look at the lyrics "This party could be just us two, and I your wife? Oh, oh, the gayest party, sad but true" So. When she said the gayest party it was about her and her lover being by themselves.. idk it sounds like she's in love with a woman
Gay can also just mean happy or joyful though - as in the merriest party rather than actually about the lady being gay - I like how there’s so many different interpretations!
I think it does mean she's married to a woman and when she says " the gayest party is sad but true" it's supposed to be like a play on words, cause gay means happy but she while she is gay she isn't happy,
Sounds like an affair that she doesn’t feel in control of. So in love with the person who she can’t have what she wants with. She feels alone when they leave her (after fun late nights in bars or bed). But it’s not the lasting kind of love. This is a lament. So hauntingly beautiful

Still loving this song in 2024!

Lindsay's expressions can actually stop time they're incredible
Pun intended?

probably my favorite 35MM song! Also L O V E Linsey, so it's perfect, really.
[THE BROAD]
We don't speak of names and faces
Why should we?
We don't speak of husbands or homes
Or work or wives and happy lives
All we've got are lips on faces
Moving flawlessly
Holding secrets in our clothes
On the nights I catch you standing
Are you waiting for me?
At the counter of this bar
Speakeasy, hole in the wall
We minuet to cigarette and brandy
Your favorite armagnac
Prohibition but there's no harm
But when you strike your goodbye pose
Everybody knows, everybody knows
The party, well, it goes too
And damn it all, darling
The party goes with you
...And I'm left with all the messes
Da, di, da
Cleaning up for vows in gold
Our fraught affair turned solitaire
Wishing to take back
Merely one of my yeses
Aching to be yours
And have my story all retold

@Nathan Mitchell I very much agree!

This song is so beautiful, and complex, and well performed. I wish it had more views.
The first time I heard this song it brought me to tears.
I love this. And I love cellist's glasses.
It's so fascinating to read all the interpretations of this song. I'd always heard it as a woman longing for the man she's having an affair with.
Me too lol. Like there’s so many allusions to affairs in this song, I’m just like “oh she’s in an affair with someone”
This song takes my heart and breaks it all the time, one of my favorite songs from the exhibition.
This song is absolutely stunning. I saw the show a few months ago and distinctly remember this beautiful song. Bravo!
Such an underated song!!!! I love it
..the lyrics get me every time.
My God this is gorgeous. All of this 35mm stuff is some of the most striking original music I've heard in a while.
this, on monday, caralee, and make me happy are on repeat on my ipod im obsessed!!
I completely agree. I just discovered the musical recently, and I've been obsessed.
It's so unique and compelling.
a.k.a.: theme from "the great gatsby"
i approve of this comment
I was just thinking about this!
I guess to me this sums up those first feelings I had well up when I found out my former lover was was married.
Oh my, I would love to sing this. You've done it again. LOVE it.
Oh wow, I'm in awe! This is incredible!
i love this song so much
@finston Thanks!!
I love her.
love her
very underrated song on 35mm
@candidecosette yep! :D
I want a boyyyy version of this songgg
Is the vocalist one of the background singers from Everyday Rapture??
Yes but I’m 9 years late
@@sorellehattori2466 she’s LINDSAY MENDEZ , this would’ve been when she was smaller , look at her now !
@@SonnyMonaghan Yes I love her so much!!
Incredible song and performance! If I wanted to use it for a cabaret how could I do that legally?
