The thirteenth song from Team Starkid's Black Friday WATCH BLACK FRIDAY HERE: • Black Friday PURCHASE THE ALBUM HERE: starkid.annarb... Main Channel: / livingjoke Shared channel with my boyfriend 🖤: / @boytalkuwu
Angela is perfect for this song (and Lex). I love Mariah, but I feel like her singing voice is just too clean and crisp for Lex. Angela is an amazing singer and she just has that little touch of grit to her voice that really sells Lex
I love the emotion Angela puts into this song. Her voice is just so perfect for Lex. Mariah would’ve done spectacular, no question. But something about Angela’s performance as Lex is just so raw and real and it really works for this type of character. I love it.
The abrupt ending right when the song is at its climax mirrors perfectly Lex's own story, a life cut short right before shining it's brightest. It gives me chills everytime.
@megankent-pb1pf I thought that the end implied that they all got stuck in a loop, explaining why Hannah was asking if tomorrow will come. Also, at the beginning and end of Black Friday, we can hear the same ticking clock. Plus, the nuke that Wiggly had already exploded when he bombed the other portal, originally foreshadowed by Hannah when she said "Two doors, not one". Once Wiggly nuked the other side, Mr. Prezzy Wezz can be heard saying "Two doors, not one". But I might be wrong lol
@Cecille Gultiano yeah I think using ‘seed’ is inherently funny and it’s like he saw that in tto and challenged himself to use it in a serious heartbreaking context and succeeded 😅
this song is so raw and emotional and beautiful. I love Angela's voice so much and I honestly start to cry like crazy every time I watch Black Friday because of this song.
This song really hits home for me personally. When I first watched black Friday when it came out I was living with my grandpa. I gradually forgot about the musical and a year or so later I was thrown into Lexes situation almost to a T. I was living with my junkie mother and was forced to raise my younger sister (6 as of now. I am currently 15). I love my sister dearly and tried my best to protect her from our mother and the random people she would bring Into our home for drugs. I was at my lowest point in February of this year. My mother was fully into her addiction and her abuse had turned physical for the first time both towards me and my sister. I was just so stuck because at that point my mother was my only family so I had absolutely no one to turn to. I don’t believe in god or any other kind of higher power but if I did then it would have been an act of god that my mother overdosed on February 24th. It was both the worst and best day of my life. I don’t know if me or my sister would be alive if she had not. She is alive btw but her overdose led to me and my sister escaping. She is with my aunt and I am in the process of moving in with my partner and his family. I actually showed my partner Black Friday a few days ago and suddenly it hit me that me and Lexes stories mirror eachother a scary amount. The line “Maybe I needed her more then she needed me” hit home for me. If I could I’d thank Jeff Blim for writing this character. Lexes story hits home for so many people including myself. And I hope anyone who is in her situation can make it out of it safe.
