Spent the last couple of days working on this one: illustrations of all of the Magic 8 Ball songs @falloutboy performed during So Much for (Tour) Dust.

If I missed any songs or misspelled anything, oops!

EDIT: song has been edited on my end!

This was a fun one to work on!

Yrs for ever

A Hamilton

Some parts from the letters Alexander Hamilton sent to John Laurens, and one he sent about him (to Nathanael Greene, after John’s death).

Elsewhere it’s song and dance, drink and drugs, important elements of any music biopic, especially Elton John’s. Through these scenes, Egerton’s steely, soulful performance — especially when he’s in a haze of pills at an extravagant mansion party — captures the frustration, longing and despair in Elton John’s soul, as well as his ability to light up on cue when he needs to be in rock star mode. The easy thing to do is hone an impression, but Egerton digs in deeper and finds the man inside the costume. Adam Graham, The Detroit News

It helps that Egerton so masterfully rises to the challenge of inhabiting the role in ways that go beyond a certain more-than-passing physical resemblance to the man (although that clearly doesn’t hurt) or the fact that he does his own singing and handles the choreography with ease. He’s got his mannerisms down and really throws himself into the more flamboyant side of John’s onstage persona. But perhaps more to the point, he conveys the emotional essence of the moment, whether that calls more for petulant pouting and throwing of fits or something far more devastating. Ed Masley, Arizona Central

Egerton, with what can only be called flamboyant understatement — and also, I suppose, understated flamboyance — in effect plays both the Lady Gaga and the Bradley Cooper parts in a fresh iteration of “A Star Is Born.” His Elton is the hard-living road warrior and the preternaturally gifted ingénue, the sacrificial hero and the plucky survivor, the rock god and the camp icon. The actor delivers a tour de force of self-effacement, a bravura demonstration of borrowed charisma. A.O. Scott, New York Times

If Rami Malek’s Freddie Mercury was good enough for an Academy Award, then Egerton might as well get an Oscar and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. He deftly handles Elton’s roller-coaster feelings, flipping from seething fury to wide-eyed happiness when he walks on a stage. And there are no lip-synced notes here: Egerton not only sings all of John’s most famous tunes but also makes them his own, at least for two hours. Brian Truitt, USA Today

But it’s Taron Egerton as Elton John who carries and sells the film — often backwards and in platform heels. Wild as it may sound to approach such a mercurial and marvelous character with beautiful restraint, Egerton’s performance is meticulously calibrated — the vulnerability, the playfulness, the towering ego of the genius and the agony of the moments when his lifelong battles with rejection and shame get the better of him, it’s all there. Erin Keane, Salon

Egerton is commanding throughout. His performance is truly a marvel. Soren Andersen, Seattle Times

Some days, being a musician is the hardest thing in the world. Sometimes it feels impossible.

When you spend hours and hours alone in a practice room, sometimes playing the same five notes over and over and over again until you think you’ll go insane.

When you hear such beautiful music in your head but you can’t make it come out, no matter how hard you try.

When you’re your own harshest critic, and there’s nothing you can do to make yourself happy, and everything you’re doing is wrong.

And worst, there are those horrible days when your very best is simply not good enough, when all you can so is go back into that practice room and aim for a perfection that’s impossible to attain.

But it’s all worth it. For that one perfect play-through, even if you’re in the practice room and the only person to hear it. For that one passage or harmony that twists your heart just so and reminds you why you’re a musician, sending you right back into that practice room not because you fell short but because a million different opportunities just opened up and you can’t stand not making music right that second. For that utterly complete exhaustion of mind and body, burning hands, that only comes after a performance that took everything you have and a little bit more. For the realization that THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT, that ‘right’ is an infinity of possibility, that there’s no such thing as ‘wrong.’

And that is why I keep going back to the practice room day after day, pushing through inconveniences and disappointments. Because I’m addicted to that indescribable feeling of pouring out music and knowing it’s not coming from me, that I’m an instrument myself. My happiest and saddest moments have all been because of music, but music gets me through the sad and makes me so much more than happy. Because I have music in my heart and in my hands, and I can no more keep it inside me than I can stop my heart beating or my lungs breathing.
