Jonathan Larson - 30/90

[@3hw.]

bro omg the quality is really good

[@renatoprisco5356]

I thought the same!

[@alej3613]

XD

[@Cyto187]

you do realise this is from 1990 right?, like why is called 30/90?

[@Otto500206]

​@@Cyto187This is a part of a musical. How can you assume that just because it talks about 1990 it means it was recorded in 1990?

[@CarudoSpot]

He starts by teasing the sextet montage from Superbia, nice.

[@PlaybillsAndPixels]

This man’s story helped me understand my paralyzing fear of writing something that isn’t a guaranteed best picture winner. I wish you could’ve seen a staged production of Superbia, Jonny.

Love how Jonathan was just able to smoothly keep going after making that mistake, didn’t even skip a beat What a legend

[@weldesz]

Oh God

[@survivor4life718]

What mistake?

[@Barnghost]

​​@@survivor4life718In the first verse, instead of saying "turn thirty nineteen ninety," he sings the line from the second verse, "turn thirty in the ninetys," which leads to a completely different segment. If he accidentally went ahead with that segment, it probably would've thrown off the entire song, if not force him to stop there and start again. Also, where he was supposed to sing the second verse, he actually sings the third. You can see the backup singer stop singing because it's not how the song was supposed to go. But alas, Jonathan worked the mistake beautifully into the performance.

[@theassortedhobbyist]

Did anyone else notice that during the second chorus, Jonathan just sings the final chorus instead?

[@TeddyLeitner]

Yeah, Roger Bart started to sing the second and had to find his place

[@alecking4701]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIaTmYeMibmIbLc Here is Jonathan Larson's original 1989 demos for Tick, Tick...BOOM it includes 30/90 (with the second chorus as it should be) and almost every other song in Tick, Tick...BOOM.

[@inax7396]

Can you put the minute?

[@theassortedhobbyist]

@@inax7396 2:27 he’s supposed to sing “They’re singing ‘Happy Birthday’, you just wish you could run away. Who cares about a birthday? But 30/90…Hey! Can’t you be optimistic? You’re no longer the ingénue. Turn 30, 1990. Boom! You’re passé! What can you do?” Roger Bart, the backing vocalist, nearly stops himself because he realized Jonathan was singing the last chorus instead.

Stop the clock Take time out Time to regroup Before you lose the bout Freeze the frame Back it up Time to refocus Before they wrap it up Years are getting shorter Lines on your face are getting longer Feel like you're treading water But the riptide's getting stronger Don't panic, don't jump ship Can't fight it, like taxes At least it happens only once in your life They're singing: Happy birthday You just want to lay down and cry Not just another birthday It's 30/90 Why can't you stay 29? Hell, you still feel like you're 22 Turn thirty, 1990 Bang! You're dead What can you do? What can you do? What can you do? Clear the runway Make another pass Try one more approach Before you're out of gas Friends are getting fatter Hairs on you head are getting thinner Feel like a clean-up batter On a team that ain't a winner Don't freak out, don't strike out Can't fight it, like city hall At least you're not alone Your friends are there too They're singing: Happy birthday You just wish you could run away Who cares about a birthday? But 30/90, hey Can't you be optimistic? You're no longer the ingénue Turn thirty, 1990 Voom! You're passé What can you do? What can you do? What can you do? Peter pan and Tinkerbell Which way to never, never land? Emerald city's gone to hell Since the wizard Blew off his command On the streets you hear the voices Lost children, crocodiles But you're not into Making choices, wicked witches Poppy fields, or men behind the curtain Tiger lilies, ruby slippers Clock is ticking, that's for certain! They're singing: Happy birthday I just wish it all were a dream It feels much more like doomsday Fuck 30/90 Seems like I'm in for a twister I don't see a rainbow, do you? Turn 30 in the 90s Into my hands now The ball is passed I want the spoils, but not too fast The world is calling It's now or Neverland Why can't I stay a child forever and 30/90 30/90 30/90 30/90 30/90 30, 30/90 What can I do? What can I do?

[@Charles-ql4tc]

Knowing he didn't even make it to forty gives the song a whole other meaning :/

[@justinhamilton8647]

WOW how did you find the high quality one

[@Charles-ql4tc]

Saw this from that weird Netflix version of Andrew Garfield and as much as he did something with it it's so NOTHING compared to the absolute insane energy of the story
