Even Though (MAMD) w/Lyrics

[@alexrashid3333]

That's what I love about Starkid. They can have lyrics like: "I thought I wanted someone perfect as can be, when what I needed was the one who was perfect for me." Then they can also have lyrics like: "This mornin I barely touched my brunch. Two spoons of outmeal, a couple of nuts, half a banana. And like my soul, the banana, WAS BRUISED AND BLACK!" Only you can do this Starkid...

"Oh, well, that's probably because our hearts are dancing a waltz to a song in four four time." I DIED

[@aspenadams1633]

Joey looks so annoyed when she says this

[@smdesserts]

UnicornLover 18 if a song is in four four time, it means there are four beats in each bar. songs you dance a waltz to have three beats in each bar. the dance theyre doing doesnt go with the rhythm of the song. so thats why she says that when he says their hearts skipped a beat

[@MissPigfarts]

I think part of the magic of MAMD is the identifiability of it all. I mean, I absolutely love all of the other shows, but how many times has a giant singing scorpion helped you switch bodies? Everyone can identify with Sally - that feeling of being in love with someone who has no idea is universal. I know I've felt it. I know exactly who I'd want to sing me this song. (Besides Joey, of course.) I think everyone has that person they'd love to hear this song from, and that makes MAMD so special.

[@juls178kgal]

Joey was always supposed to be the main character. Even the shorter version was written with Joey as the lead, Darren was supposed to play Dick, but then for some reason couldn't so instead Joe did it.

[@melissatheghost]

Not gonna lie I’m glad joe did it instead

[@shayshayluv2write]

today we were learning abt subordinating conjunctions in english. my english teacher(pointing to girl on other side of room): name a subordinating conjunction girl: um...even though. my english teacher(pointing to me): say a dependent clause. me(panicking, without thinking): even though i was blind before my class: um...what? moral: this phrase sounds odd to nonstarkidfans.

[@vulcandolly]

okay but this song is so good.

[@melissafuerst6112]

This is my favorite song in this musical because sally reminds me of myself and it makes me happy she finally got Joey 🙂

[@SupernaturalBaby08]

"I thought I wanted someone perfect as could be, when what I needed was the one who is perfect for me." Sigh, Joey Richter.

[@alexashley9140]

I love this song so much! Edit: When I listen to this song, I get a strange feeling in my tummy. This song's beautiful!

[@JewelBurns2000]

I wasn't sure if Sally reminding me of myself was good or not then she kisses Joey. And I was like "Yes. Very good."

[@WanderFilms]

man, this whole show was friggin' EPIC

[@starkid]

Hey there, could you take your videos like this down? Selling the studio album is part of how artists involved in the show are compensated, and posting it for free on KZbin makes everyone less able continue to create content like this for you in the future. Thanks!

[@imaymellow]

👆👆👆

[@Twitchclipsxox]

I agree. I do love having a lyrics video, but it’s not fair :(

[@triphazardd]

In the context of this example, I'm pretty sure MAMD has captions and is set in neat little chunks so I guess that'd work as a slightly better alternative idk

[@Animeninja54]

yeah, I love the whole show. And this song makes the whole thing I think. It makes me feel all romantic and happy

[@agreenpar]

I love this song because the scene that is before and after it shows something that will only happen to so many of us girls. Becuase I'm sure a lot of us feel like Sally, where we have been in love with a guy and he never even knew it. Sally just ended up with a lucky break and ended up with the guy she loved. We probably watched MAMD and wished that stuff like that could happen to us, and we could... I guess. That is if we could find a guy who is almost as perfect as Joey. :( (Sniffle.)

[@MusicalFan25]

@LucasBeineke Its actually Joey and Sally's Hearts and Ms. Cooter in the background.

[@voldemere11]

It's not. It's actually not about Joey at all. They only changed the name to Joey Richter because they just kept referring to the character as Joey. Some of the jokes are formed around him, obvoiusly, but the story is not his at all xD

[@triplethreat0824]

[@SupernaturalBaby08]

@Rachelwuzheer It seems like people mean it literally when they make "jokes", and like they can't get passed the fact that Joey played Ron and Jaime played Ginny, and that ruins the play for them (since the play is basically about two characters that Joey and Jaime played falling in love) which, if that were the case, would really suck.

[@sonjaelgreko]

@music4eva89 and only listening to his voice makes my day ^_^

[@Zoldor]

@squishy1001 It sounds kinda like Granger Danger, the part "It seems as thought my mind has been transfigured, something deep inside has changed" right before that one's chorus.

@saori2216 Besides, he's not the only composer to cover his own songs made for a different purpose. ( Jason Robert Brown, Scott Allen and Pasek and Paul to name a few.) It's pretty common. =)

0:00 - 0:59 Is my favourite part and 0:60 - 3:20 is my other favourite part.

Do you ever wonder if this play was based on a dream Joey had? xD

[@chilic5746]

"I wanna just, um...shit." He is not saying that he literally needs to shit but he is having difficulty trying to tell Sally of his feelings in a coherent manner. Thus the lines, "My head's confused but I know there's something in it."

That's just the best song fron the musical! And I know this is crazy, but when I hear this song, I muss just think about Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter... I would be so happy if they had put this song for A very potter musical... But me and my dick is a great musical too ^^

[@dreamdaily94]
