مطمئن نیستم دقیقا ملاک ماندگار و به یاد ماندنی بودن یک ترانه چیه ولی اینجور که از پستای دیگه دیدم ظاهرا لیریکای مورد علاقس و نه لزوما چیزی که همه بشناسن و شنیده باشن. این ترانه رو من انتخاب کردم چون هم خیلی دوستش دارم و هم بعد از یکی دو بار گوش دادن تمام لیریکش یادم بود یعنی لیترالی "به یاد ماندنی"!
آهنگ
Who's Crazy / My Psychopharmacologist and I یه ترک از یه موزیکال به اسم Next to Normal. (فکر کنم پاره کردم موزیکالارو نه؟
) داستان موزیکال راجع به مادر یه خانوادست که اختلال دوقطبی داره و کنار اومدن خودش و خانوادش با بیماریش.
اینم بخشایی از لیریک:
[DAN]
And I was a wild twenty-five
And I loved a wife so alive
But now I believe I would settle for one who can drive
*
[DIANA]
My psychopharmacologist and I
It's like an odd romance:
Intense and very intimate
We do our dance
My psychopharmacologist and I
Call it a lover's game
He knows my deepest secrets
I know his name
And though he'll never hold me
He'll always take my calls
It's truly like he told me
Without a little lift, the ballerina falls
*
[ENSEMBLE]
Zoloft and Paxil and Buspar and Xanax
Depakote, Klonopin, Ambien, Prozac
Ativan calms me when I see the bills
These are a few of my favorite pills
[DIANA, spoken]
Ooh, thank you, doctor, Valium is my favorite color. How'd you know?
*
[DIANA, spoken]
I'm nauseous and I'm constipated, completely lost my appetite and gained six pounds, which, you know, is just not fair
[ENSEMBLE]
May cause the following side effects, one or more:
Dizziness, drowsiness, sexual dysfunction
[NAT/DIANA/DR. FINE]
Headaches and tremors and nightmares and seizures [DAN/GABE/HENRY]
Diarrhea, constipation, nervous laughter, palpitations
[ENSEMBLE]
Anxiousness, anger, exhaustion, insomnia, irritability, nausea, vomiting...
[DIANA]
Odd and alarming sexual feelings
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, and one last thing:
[DR. FINE]
Use may be fatal
[GABE]
Use may be fatal
[DAN]
Use may be fatal
*
[DIANA, spoken]
I now can't feel my fingers or my toes. I sweat profusely for no reason. Fortunately, I have absolutely no desire for sex. Although, whether that's the medicine or the marriage is anybody's guess
[DR. FINE, spoken]
I'm sure it's the medicine
[DIANA, spoken]
Oh, thank you, that's very sweet, but my husband's waiting in the car
[DAN]
Who's crazy, the one who's half gone?
Or maybe the one who holds on?
Remembering when she was twenty and brilliant and bold
And I was so young, and so dumb
And now I am old
[DAN]
And she was wicked and wired
The sex was simply inspired
Now there's no sex, she's depressed
And me, I'm just tired, tired, tired, tired
*
[DAN]
They say love is blind...
But believe me, love is insane
[DR. FINE]
Goodman, Diana: Seven weeks
[DIANA]
I don't feel like myself. I mean, I don't feel anything
[DR. FINE]
Hm. Patient stable
