I saw someone ask why 'She Is Beauty We Are World Class' is a rainbow flag moment, they didn't get it. Well it’s not just that; it's the whole megamix. Just read the lyrics. It’s a whole beautiful celebration of being among people you feel safe around and know they get you.
It's about escaping the real world for a moment and soaking it all in.
Once All This Time starts, Louis sits and looks at everyone. It’s like he said, "It's not how you spend the time, it's if you waste it." It is important to appreciate these moments.
The songs, as has been pointed out many times by others, are connected.
All This Time
"It's the way we
It's the way we see ourselves through walls of trees."
and it ties in beautifully with
She is Beauty We are World Class
"Conversation is currency
Shapes become a language
Square eyes and sunglasses
Finding faces in the trees"
We see ourselves through walls of trees, and these trees have faces. We literally find ourselves through others.
She is Beauty We are World Class
"Are we one, or are we two?
Are we me, or are we you?
Has it been all this before?
Do you see what I see?"
All This Time
"Our eyes meet
And I can tell that you're the same as me"
It's a celebration; everything is coming together; everyone there is the same; it's safe; the pain is worth it because you got yourself through it and you are now present in this moment in time.
All This Time
"And you keep on building mountains
Hoping that they'll turn to gold
But the truth is, you still doubt that
What you do can get you home"
She is Beauty We are World Class
"Escape the inevitable
Fade into light
Soak up the empathy
'Cause I'm with you tonight"
You can understand and share the feelings of everyone around you; take it in—you all understand each other here.
"Forever
We'll let the feeling last
Surrounded by lights"
Be free; you are home already, and I am with you tonight. I am looking at you surrounded by lights, and this feeling of belonging is going to last forever.
So yes, it is a rainbow flag moment—it’s THE moment.
I was on Tumblr on my iMac looking at a blog when I found out they reblogged some fan made Rhythm Heaven comics another user made. One of them had an interesting premise though. The comic goes that the Tangotronic and his dance partner from Rhythm Heaven Megamix finished their performance at a competition and wanted to take a picture near a background with lots roses, but there was a problem; a third of the roses were pink and apparently the Tangotronic was the one who painted them like that. His partner visibly looked upset with tears streaming down her face as she looked at him in anger.
I thought to myself in that dream; “Off with his head!”
louis saying he deliberately added the moment where he sits and admires the crowd during the megamix to have a moment to take it in and soak up the feeling so that the shows don't just pass by. 🥺💞
Sorry, but I'll never shut up about how during LTWT fans claimed Only The Brave as their queer anthem, raising all their pride flags every time he played it and this year, Louis' response was an entire song where the crowd is bathed in rainbow lights, turning the megamix into some kind of pride event.
