THINK ABT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA
like......why is he going DOWN to georgia? is hell above georgia geographically or on some interplanar level??? also the fact that he was "way behind and looking to make a deal".....does the devil have some sort of quota to meet? since when is a golden fiddle worth selling your soul?? is a person's soul canonically worth one gold fiddle? can you even PLAY a golden violin?!?! like would that thing even be useful??? also how tf was this contest supposed to work? bc theoretically the devil is both judging and competing and already cheated by including a band of demons. so like johnny must be pretty good if he is beating the guy who prob rigged the game against him. anyway yeah idk it's not that important but it is an interesting thing to think abt when bored (which i was when driving home and listening to this song)

I think the selling the soul trade like what the person gets isn't solely about the golden fiddle but also about besting the devil

@EVILDJMOMENT I see the vision....can't believe I didn't consider this angle bc like "beating the devil" as a resume builder would go crazy. ty for sharing :)

@EVILDJMOMENT yeah I think it’s partially a pride thing b/c you deserve to have your soul taken if you say can beat the DEVIL FROM THE BIBLE in a challenge and then just can’t. If you know you can’t beat the literal devil don’t take him up on his offer

i propose this: perhaps the devil was already in the states and was simply moving south to georgia…perhaps that was his second deal he made…

I like to think the implication that the devil goes DOWN to Georgia implies that Georgia is a place worse than Hell

MISUNDERSTANDING SONG LYRICS IN PROFOUND WAYS THAT COMPLETELY CHANGE THE THEME OF THE SONG
example // in sufjan stevens’ it’s your own body and mind off of a beginners mind,(the formatting choices here are completely arbitrary) he angelically sings: she’s gotta have it she’s gotta dream (she’s got a dream) and she'll make it a habit of doing her own thing as so graciously told to me by genius, (this link does not redirect to anything I simply like to imagine it looks fitting) this song is based off of spike lee’s she’s gotta have it, and is an ode to self actualization, autonomy, and love. HOWEVER, when I heard this song it became: she’s god of heaven she’s gotta dream (she’s got a dream) and she’ll make it of heaven as so woefully malformed by my brain, the song became a tale of a woman who is ”god of heaven.” I derived that sufjan had put a woman on the pedestal of all pedestals claiming her a god of heaven aka: God,(for those who practice)—(sidenote: what are you practicing)—(double sidenote: this is a joke) or even surpassing God. I figured that i was listening to a song about infatuation and rose-tinted perspective, much similar to his song impossible soul off of the age of adz (i could write pages upon pages about this 25 minute long masterpiece and the cover of the album talking to me while on mushrooms but alas…seek ye treasure (pirate reference)) in which he sings “woman tell me what you want“ and “you are the lover of my impossible soul.” so sue me for thinking lover boy stevens was back at it. i do think there is a beauty in misunderstanding lyrics that can show you what is at the forefront of your brain without you even realizing. when listening to the song i was thinking of my girlfriend, (god of heaven. obviously.) and my brain jumped to connect that dot. i find that this happens very often and it usually suggests something more interesting and provocative than a simple yanny and/or laurel mishap (green needle for my enthusiasts). if you have any similar experiences do feel free to share!
