Read a fic where Jason was a singwriter and came up with this, (I’m really bad at this sorry)

Robin 2:

You always said I was too violent for you tastes

Even when going up again Two Face

I could never make the bar

Especially when he set it up so far

I’ve come to learn a few things through the years

Given training and praise through my peers

Though they set me up to tear me down

I protected myself and came crashing down

Somewhere alone on my own

All alone, alone

I’ll always be Robin number 2

I’ll never be able to make it up to you

I won’t ever replace and fill the space

That he left when you two were through

I’ll always be Robin number 2, to you

So I see, you went and replaced me

Am I nothing more than a trophy?

Sat in a case, I know my place

How could anyone take my place

When I thought I meant so much to you

I guess we’re through

I’ve become a failure you can’t forget

A reminder, replacement, away I went

How can I forget what you did to me

Not the death thing no, letting him roam free

If he took you away

I’d hunt him down and make him pay

But apparently I’m not worth the pain

That he put me through

Taking me away from you, from you

I’ll always be Robin number 2

I’ll never be able to make it up to you

I won’t ever erase or fill the space

That he left when you two were through

I’ll always be a failure to you, I’m number 2

I finally found my place, in this estranged place

In the alley, where i give reprieve

to those who need more than you and me

The moms and dads who drink to leave

The kids who suffer from their parents greed

I’ll be what they need, they need

I’ll always be Robin number 2

Never 1 in your heart, oh that hurt me too

how badly I want that I cannot start

I can’t help but take it to heart

The shit I was put through

All for you

Replacing me with number 3

Who became so much more than you and me

It’s amazing to watch them from the dark

Knowing they’ll always have that spark

I’ll always be Robin number 2

But here I am, bigger than you

With a family made of trust and bonds

We know the pain, the fear, and beyond

So maybe to you, I’ll always be 2

But here I am, bigger than you

So I’m no longer Robin number 2

I have no need for your love, praise, or you

I made my space and protected this place

That neither of you could improve

I’m my own hero, not Robin number 2

I’m no longer Robin number 2

I have no need for your love, praise, or you

I made my space and protected this place

That neither of you could improve

I’m not Robin number 2

Willie Nelson Turns 90

There are three major milestone Williversaries to celebrate this year: Willie Nelson (b. 1933) turns 90 years old today; and 2023 also marks 50 years since his annual 4th of July Picnic and the release of his landmark 1973 album Shotgun Willie, heralding the debut of the “New Willie”: long-haired (later braided), unshaven, hippie-influenced, pot smoking, and Austin-based. ‘ Of COURSE there was…

I have been really curious as to why some songs/albums/music really blow up and get attention. I’m assuming it all comes back to money and whether or not the artist is part of a big record label who can afford to promote them.

For instance, Driver’s License by Olivia Rodrigo just blew up overnight and started breaking records. It happened so fast. And yes, that song is amazing and deserves it.

But I’m curious as to what drove that mainstream exposure and success, as that was her debut single as an artist of her own (aside from hsmtmts). Is it the song itself? Is it the promotion and money that was put behind it? Was it the following she has because of her work with Disney? I’m assuming it’s a combination of all those things. Yet I feel like some of the same artists on her label haven’t had that level of success as far as numbers and charts go. So what drove this specifically?

I hear so many amazing songs by artists that just get lost and are never really heard on such a mass scale. But they deserve to be!! And I guess it makes me sad that they don’t get the recognition they should.

I know that the internet and streaming services have made it possible for more artists to be heard. But I’m curious as to how much control the big music industry execs and labels have in today’s music scene.
