You're a Good Man Charlie Brown soundtrack – The Book Report lyrics

[LUCY] A book report on Peter Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, Peter ra- [LINUS (overlapping)] A book report on Peter Rabbit, Peter ra- [SCHROEDER (overlapping)] A book report on Peter Rabbit, ra- [CHARLIE BROWN (overlapping)] A book report on Peter ra- [ALL] -Abbit. [LUCY] Peter Rabbit is this stupid book About this stupid rabbit who steals Vegetables from other peoples' gardens 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Hmm. 83 to go. [SCHROEDER] The name of the book about which This book report is about is Peter Rabbit which is about this Rabbit. I found it very- I liked the part where- It was a- It reminded me of "Robin Hood" And the part where Little John jumped from the rock To the Sheriff of Nottingham's back. And then Robin and everyone swung from the trees In a sudden surprise attack. And they captured the sheriff and all of his goods And they carried him back to their camp in the woods And the sheriff was guest at their dinner and all But he wriggled away and he sounded the call And his men rushed in and the arrows flew- Peter Rabbit did sort of that kind of thing too. [LUCY] The other people's name was Macgregor. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. Ohh! [LINUS] In examining a book such as Peter Rabbit, it is important that the superficial chracteristics of its deceptively simple plot should not be allowed to blind the reader to the more substancial fabric of its deeper motivations. In this report I plan to discuss the sociological implications of family pressures so great as to drive an otherwise moral rabbit to perform acts of thievery which he consciously knew were against the law. I also hope to explore the personlaity of Mr. Macgregor in his comflicting roles as farmer and humanitarian. Peter Rabbit is established from the start as a benevolent hero and it is only... [CHARLIE BROWN (overlapping)] If I start writing now When I'm not really rested It could upset my thinking Which is no good at all. I'll get a fresh start tomorrow And it's not due till Wednesday So I'll have all of Tuesday Unless something should happen. Why does this always happen, I should be outside playing Getting fresh air and sunshine, I work best under pressure, And there'll be lots of pressure If I wait till tomorrow I should start writing now. But I if I start writing now When I'm nbot really rested It could upset my thinking Which is No good at all. [LUCY] The name of the rabbit was Peter 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Yes! [SCHROEDER] Down came the staff on his head- smaah! And Robin fell like a sack full of lead- crash! The sheriff laughed and he left him for dead- ah! But he was wring [LUCY] 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. [SCHROEDER] Just then an arrow flew in- whing! It was a sign for the fight to begin- zing! And then it looked like the sheriff would win- ah! But not for long. Away they ran. Just lke rabbits. Who run a lot As you can tell From the story Of Peter Rabbit Which this report Is about. [SALLY/SNOOPY] Rabbits rabbits rabbits rabbits... [CHARLIE BROWN] How do they expect us to Write a book report Of any quality In just two days How can they Conspire to Make life so mis'rable And so effectively In so many ways [LUCY] There were vegetables In the garden Such as carrots and spinach And onions and lettuce And turnips and parsley And okra and cabbage And string beans ans parsnips Tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus Cauliflower, rhubarb and chives. [LINUS] Not to mention the extreme pressure exterted on him but his deeply rooted rivalry with Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail! [SALLY/SNOOPY] Rabbits, rabbits, chasing rabbits... [CHARLIE] If I start Writing now When I'm not Really rested It could Upset my Thinking Which is Not good At all Not good At all. Oh. First thing After dinner I'll start [SCHROEDER] The name of The book A bout which This book Report is About is

Dylan Owen - The Book Report Lyrics

Artist: Dylan Owen

Album: Senioritis

You are my favorite miracle I have seen you in a field of marigolds But I'm glad I don't have to give my prayers to you ‘Cause I know we'll make it through whatever happens I don't care how we proceed I just care that you know me I've got bags under my eyes Like I've been carrying groceries for a long time With a strong mind, brought up on the wrong side Of the railroad cross-slide where my Grandma says they all die But if you think about it, every soldier fights for compromise I can't predict the future but we all can prophesize On your bedroom floor where I promised I would never grow up I think since then I've seen we all eventually go To that white hospital bed, we watched your dad lay And almost turn into a ghost, Ghost, I know you've had a bad day But that's okay buddy ‘cause I swear to God I'm by your side And I'll be with you any time you say you're down to ride So, here I am in the midst of feeling tired Watching fireworks from your garage in old facades that we'll retire I only recently believed that we've got tires in our souls That don't weary any time we go to drive ‘em We're the suicide kids We only think about ourselves And keep secrets, like ‘I won't tell.' And up on Suicide Hill, where we climbed high as hell We used to hide out and try to find ourselves We are the suicide kids We only think about ourselves And keep secrets, like ‘I won't tell.' And up on Suicide Hill, when we got high as hell We used to hide out and try too hard to find ourselves And so I started liking English It managed my expressions And felt like wet cement; It could carry my impressions What if the butterflies inside our stomachs are still hatching? Or imagine that we search the dirt pile and find the hatchets that we buried? In light of all this faith that I still can't believe You left it on the trampoline when you were barely teen I mean we traveled to September, the summer-killing month And missed the cigarette kisses and the poems that I wrote that sucked But on that white hospital bed you watched your brother cry Now I swear I'll shave my head, grow out my hair some other time ‘Cause I've been fighting things myself, I can be his savior I cleaned my room and emptied out those medicine containers So that I can take this pencil, the one meant for the book report Use up all its graphite on emotions I've been looking for Lose myself inside a childhood of looking forward Well, whatever, life just took its course I hope you're looking for You are my favorite miracle I have seen you in a field of marigolds But I'm glad I don't have to give my prayers to you ‘Cause I know we'll make it through whatever happens And on that white hospital bed, we'll watch each other lie And swear that it's forever on the tattoos that we cover I don't believe in miracles but I have at other times And I believe that I can carry all your troubles. I swear On that white hospital bed, we'll watch each other lie And swear that it's forever on the scars that we cover I don't believe in miracles but I have at other times And I believe that I can carry all your troubles. I swear That I'mma take this pencil, the one meant for the book report Use up all its graphite on emotions I've been looking for Lose myself inside a childhood of looking forward Well, whatever, life just took its course I hope you're looking for The suicide kids in every person that you haven't met And all the perfect places that we haven't been to yet All the cameras and the passed-out floors that I haven't mentioned yet You give ‘em hell kid and never let yourself forget ‘Cause we've all got higher hills to climb regardless of our depths But I would never look to suicide if I had nothing left I would simply form a smile thinking back on all my friends And read The Book Report I wrote so many years ago again

Book Report: Working on a Song

I’ve been into preordering books lately. By the time they show up, I’ve usually forgotten about them. It’s like a present from my past self.

Which is to say that I had forgotten entirely about Working on a Song: The Lyrics of Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell, until it showed up at my doorstep. Once I wrestled it away from my 10-year-old musical theater fanatic (I bribed him with another chapter of Finishing the Hat ), I dove into it and didn’t come up for air until I hit the end.

This book has the Broadway version of the lyrics for each song, and afterward, notes on how the song developed and changed over the course of the project. The show itself is gorgeous; I’ve been listening to both the original concept album and the Broadway cast recording on heavy repeat for a year. I’m especially grateful, though, that Mitchell gave us this window into this process. I always want to know how things were made.

I appreciated how much learning the creative team had along the way, and how open Mitchell was about that. In several of the notes, she writes that she’s embarrassed by this draft of the lyrics, but she’ll share them anyway. She beautifully articulates the tight balance they have to walk between being too abstract and too literal (she repeated the story about how they had a big, shiny railroad track all built and then scrapped it because it was too real). In a show like this, that’s a challenge.

Mitchell didn’t start as a theater person, and I love how she details what and how she learned what makes theater theater . She tells a great story about Jim Nicola at New York Theater Workshop explaining the difference between poetry and drama to her, as he’s eating a sandwich: “Poetry is me bearing witness to the sandwich, expounding upon the beauty of the sandwich. Drama is me actually eating the sandwich , right here and now, in front of an audience.”

I also loved how clearly the collaboration in this process drove its development. In many cases, she credits an actor with solving a problem she’s wrestling with. Her collaboration with Rachel Chavkin is a constant presence, pushing, pulling, reassuring, challenging.

One of my favorite problems they had to solve was how to make Orpheus seem like a decent guy, not too cocky or obnoxious. They way they accomplished it was mostly changes in tiny phrases. Mitchell describes it as an overhaul, but the evidence for it is a million minor adjustments. In the wedding song, for example, she changed his lyric from, “And they’re gonna break their banks for me / To lay their gold around my feet” to “And they’re gonna break their banks for us / And with their gold be generous.” That simple shift from me to us served to de-center Orpheus. He ended up seeming like a naive dreamer, rather than a brash self-obsessed rockstar.

Ever since I heard this soundtrack, I recognized it as my kind of play. I’ve been working lately on figuring out what that means—what makes some plays speak to me so deeply, I just instinctively feel them pouring in and out of me?

Reading this book, especially Rachel Chavkin’s insistence on connecting the love story of Orpheus and Eurydice to its societal implications and the larger cycles of nature, I finally was able to name it. Close to the end, when Orpheus and Eurydice are ready to walk out of Hadestown, in “Wait for Me Reprise,” all of these elements come together, and Mitchell’s notes outline the specifics of the decisions to tie it all together. Orpheus and Eurydice are going to try to walk the long way together. The oppressed workers in Hadestown sing “Show the way so we can see / Show the way the world could be / If you can do it so can she / If she can do it so can we,” tying the personal story to a bigger societal/political story. Hades says, “It’s time for spring / We’ll try again next fall,” showing that the seasons are finally coming back into their right alignment—so the personal also connects to the cosmic.

All of the plays I love the most have this sense of human specificity, societal impact, and cosmic resonance. So what other plays should I put on my wishlist ?
