fun facts

  • about "Old Town Road", Lil Nas X said: "with a lot of my music before “Old Town Road,” I was just trying to make music I thought everybody wanted. I changed the meaning of it later on down the road from a runaways type of story to Old Town Road being a symbol for a path of success, where you’re just staying on it. The horse, me not having too much to work with, but getting to where you’re trying to go. It’s like, “I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road.” In the first verse, you’re getting everything packed up and ready to go. In the second verse, you’re in that lane now where everything’s going right. In the chorus, “Can’t nobody tell me nothin,” it was like a jab to my parents in a way. Wanting me to not really stop doing music, but to get back into school.”
  • According to Dolly Parton, "Jolene" was inspired by a red-headed bank clerk who flirted with her husband Carl Dean at his local bank branch around the time they were newly married.
  • Jolene’s name is based on that of a young fan who came on stage for her autograph: "I said, ‘You’re the prettiest little thing I’ve ever seen. What is your name?’ And she said, ‘Jolene.’…I said, ‘That’s the prettiest name I’ve ever heard. I’m going to write a song about you'"
  • listen i know that the only thing these songs have in common is they're both country but after matching up all the other songs these were the last two without a good match so i had to put them together. sorry

Hey so it's come to my attention that the Creators of Disco Elysium want you to share the game and not give the company who took over and fired them (illegally)?) any profits off of their ideas and work, and I originally joined tumblr 2 weeks ago when that post was going around about the Steam sale and how you should [Skull and Crossbones flag] it instead.

So.

in light of that.

Check the replies/notes of this post :)

I was informed that posts containing links in them aren't findable in the search so i'll just.... drop a link in a seperate reboot :)
