This Changes Everything

[tealin]

Another example of Tealin Logic:

IF: all is fair in love and war
THEN: love = war
THEREFORE: they are interchangeable.

Apply this to Andrew Lloyd Webber, and you get:

War... war changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
War... war changes everything: how you live and how you die.
War can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, war... war changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

War... war changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
War... war changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
War will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, war... war changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.
War bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
War makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, war... war changes everything: live or perish, in its flame.
War will never ever let you be the same.
War will never ever let you be the same.

I think it makes more sense this way... though to be honest, whenever I have heard the song, the third line in the second stanza sounds like it ends with "and that world is lost forever"... oh well.

War... war changes everything: hands and faces

It's about Monstrous Regiment.

You're right. It does make more sense.

What I find scary is that the tune to "Love Changes Everything" was one of the throw away melodies for Phantom. Random thing I found out on the PotO special edition DVD.

*stands and stares at you in shock*

How dare you change those loverly words!

*giggles*

It was amusing though...

...............0.o! Cripes. That is eerie, and terribly disturbing *~*

That’s why the Romans made Amor (aka Cupido) the son of Venus and Mars. (The Greeks were much more iffy about the origins of Eros.)

Of course, Mars was also the god of farming.

“Agriculture... agriculture changes everything...”

[winces at how much it clashes with the rhythm] :P

Huh, it DOES make sense, doens't it? Maybe you should give Mr. Webber a call and tell him you've improved it! :P

“Metrical alteration... metrical alteration changes everything...”

This reminds me of that old Stevie Wonder/Ray Charles thing:

If God is love and love is blind, and Stevie Wonder/Ray Charles (use singer of choice) is blind, then Stevie Wonder/Ray Charles (use singer of choice) is God.

Hurm. I like your version better though. Isho true!

I do like this version, its rather true. *shakes head* Though the original version is quite lovely. Um...any more Harry Potter art soon?

Hah, when I can actually get back to reading Philosopher's Stone, I do plan to do some more... that's nearly the whole reason I'm reading it.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I would feel much more kindly towards this song (well... a little more kindly) if it weren't from such a tiresome and annoying show. GAH! I have never been able to listen to Aspects of Love all the way through, no matter how hard I've tried.
