I think Noel didn't want a happy life, he just wanted to feel something. Although this doesn't sound appeasing to most people, it does to Noel because he's been apathetic about his whole boring life, so he'd rather have a tragic life than a lifeless one. EDIT- this was not supposed to be relatable
this song is for the girlies that sing songs until the break of dawn. the girlies who embrace a new man every night. the ones who’s life’s a never ending carnival.
Also it's implied that at the end of the musical they are back on the ride to keep circling around on it, showing how their deaths really are a never ending carnival
I like how around 4:12 you can hear build up beats, which sounds like a roller coaster ride going higher and higher waiting for the drop. Which is a neat detail.
An interesting thing I find about this song is it always reiterates how Monique was alone. She didn’t have anyone. She died alone as well. The root meaning of the name Monique is “alone”. Either that’s one hell of a coincidence or a genius move and I think it’s the latter-
Not fully correct for the name. The root origin is unknown, but it is connected with monos in Greek meaning alone, though it most likely does not come from Greek because of where St. Monica lived (Carthage and Numidia). I do hope the name choice was intentional though since it does fit really well.
@@Simmer12341Yeah, Monique's surname, Gibeau, is the name of a Canadian fast food place called the "Gibeau Orange Julep" Which is ironic when you realize that he worked at, and hated, a fast food place.
Honestly, from listening through this(especially the end) sounds JUST LIKE "Outliars and Hyppocrates: a fun fact about apples" from Will Wood's Normal Album(which I just listened to selections from, for the first time): ua-cam.com/video/DvueppU31fM/v-deo.html In fact, Kholby Wardell(Noah)'s vocals seem to carry the same tone as Will Wood's here, so I can definitely picture him doing a cover or even a live performance of Wood's work sometime!

So. I have 2 things to say: 1. the vocals 2. the riff at the enddddddddd 3. literally, like, mood 4. THE WAY HE SAYS TACO BELL ... okay, so that was a little more than 2. whoops
Just heard about this musical and barely know anything about the premise, but if this song is representative of the quality of the rest then this is going to be fun to become obsessed with. Time will tell. Let’s go.
For anyone wondering what the background vocals are saying at 4:35, it repeats: “Broken heart, a flask of gin, tattooed with a safety pin, teeth all stained with nicotine, running nylons, shattered dreams, Super crusty, holy terror, wild eyes and black mascara”
He probably would've liked it idk. He couldn't imagine being with a man without it being a tragedy, it probably would've blown his mind that a story centered in queer love that's all sugar and no substance where nothing particularly tragic or terrible happens exists. Not only exists but is thriving. Idk tho
just a couple things: 1. the way he says "Monique Gibeau" so wistfully 2. the way he sings "charcoal" 3. the amazing instrumentals in this song LIKE WOW 4. for some reason I love the way he sings "one never" like the words just flow into one another in a way that's so satisfying to me 5. 3.11 6. the "me" at 3:38 7. the grainy audio at 3:46 like it really sounds like an old movie 8. the slow build before the final chorus 9. the falsetto and riff at the end because holy shit I love this song so much you don't understand
Kholby Wardell is amazing. Period. I feel fortunate to have seen him in the original production all those many years ago when this was just a Fringe Festival entry...
Lyrics: In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell in Uranium City, Saskatchewan But, in my dreams, I played a different role I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France A hooker with a heart of black charcoal I write poems to burn by firelight Drink champagne and guzzle gin Good girls call me "the town bicycle" Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin Oh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me Last prick did that faded quick to black I have no idea where to find him, officers But if you do, please mention that I'd like to have returned The pretty knife That I stuck ten times in his back For I sing songs until the break of dawn I embrace a new man every night My life's one never-ending carnival A world of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that fucked-up girl He said, "I think I am in love with you" I've heard that lie a million times before Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy Take love when you can, when you're a whore For I sing songs until the break of dawn I embrace a new man every night My life's one never-ending carnival A world of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that fucked-up girl So now I sell my love for opium In some rat-infested Chinese dive At night I burn myself with cigarettes Just to somehow prove I'm still alive Eight months later, I catch typhoid flu Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me "My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?"

Hey!
Its literally Upbeat but ends depressed(Fall fair and Uranium) Upbeat!(What the world needs) Depressed(Noel's Lament) Upbeat!(This song is awesome) Depressed(Talia) Horny(YK) Depressed(Jane Doe) Upbeat(sugar cloud) Depressed but also upbeat?(It's not a game/It's just a ride)
so according to the entire comment section (yes i scrolled through it all) RIP Noel he would have hated the boyfriends webtoon, loved Will Wood, Rocky Horror, Chicago, the religious symbolism in Madoka Magica, HRT, I/Me/Myself, drag races, the musical he was from, mean girls, SIX the musical, the French (if they were real), moulin rouge, burlesque, Vocaloid, Mozart L'opera rock, Anatole from Great Comet, Gerard Way, Lana del Rey, Paris, heartstopper, cookie run kingdom, roleplay, the spider dude from Hazbin hotel, Taylor Swift, repo, angel from chainsaw man, would have rioted when they got rid of the raspberry frozen lemonade at Tim Hortons, loved Amanda Palmer, euphoria, falsettos, mars argo, Steve Harrington, Ayesha Erotica, Cabaret, lady gaga, Shayfer James, being transgender, and Homestuck.
Every time it gets to the part about Claude the pimp I think about my friend Claude who's actually the one who got me into Ride the Cyclone in the first place
my college is doing ride the cyclone rn, and this song was SO fun to do during callbacks. didn’t end up getting the role, but still a 10/10 experience, would recommend
I kind of interpret that this song is about how he dreamed of being the center of attention in the sense of being desired, even (what he feels) is the most negative way possible. He said the line about how he’s the only gay kid and I think it’s implied he didn’t really have any friends for that on top of him being eccentric yk?
I think it could also be something like “Tragedy over apathy.” He works a boring job he hates, he doesn’t have people to talk to or spend time with. He is alone. Pain, emotional or physical, become more appealing than nothing at all. eg. using the pain of cigarette burns to prove he’s still alive, “I’d rather burn out than fade away.” go out painfully than submit to an apathetic void. I think tragedy over apathy also supports wanting to be paid attention to, for people to interact with him, even if in a negative way, just for some sort of human interaction, for his pain to feel real.
I personally thinks it touches on many things that adds a lot of depth to his character. I have heard theories about this song is also about Noel's internalised homophobia that he experienced along with the majority of things you guys mentioned and, honestly, I agree with that theory, which sort of states that he feels as though he feels he would only experience the kind of love he longed for if he were in the place of a woman as even a 'fucked up girl' is more desired than he is to another man as we've seen in many of the movies Noel seems to adore. I do believe that the complex nature of Noel's character is really overlooked by the fandom in all honesty as this song has so many layers and can be interpreted in so many ways that it doesn't just have one meaning to it, which is something I think this show does so well. The songs are as well structured and well rounded as though they were their own character and I don't think I've heard a musical that has ever successfully done that like 'Ride The Cyclone.'
I listened to this using some half-broken earphones and I could only hear the instruments well and the person who was singing sounded like they were in a cave it was such a fucking cool experience I am actually glad
I know absolutely nothing about this musical and this is the only song that I have heard from it, but I want to inject this song straight into my veins and go ham
I love it, I watched the performance at Arena Stage Theatre and at 2:47 (in this song specifically) it looks like it ends, and everyone started to clap- the acTOR THO LEGIT DID A " ☝🤨 Wait wait we're not done yet hold on there's more ✋🤨" It was never said, but the expression and hand signals said everything he needed to convey.
Broken heart, a flask of gin Tattooed with a safety pin Teeth all stained with nicotine Running nylons, shattered dreams Super crusty, holy terror Wild eyes and black mascara Broken heart, a flask of gin Tattooed with a safety pin Teeth all stained with nicotine Running nylons, shattered dreams Super crusty, holy terror Wild eyes and black mascara
somebody said noel would've loved will wood and now i can't stop expecting him to say "POPS PLACEBOS FOR LIBIDOS SCREAMING BLESS THE TORPEDOS" over the "SUPER CRUSTY HOLY TERROR WILD EYES BLACK MARCARA" part instead of his vocal riff
The fact it said specifically _CHARCOAL_ rather than coal is most likely a detail put there on purpose. Charcoal is the result of burning wood. Coal is natural. If it said coal, it would mean a naturally emotionless/hard shelled person that burns brightly when hit with fire. Charcoal would mean someone who was open and social and most likely got their heart broken or ‘burned’ and made it charcoal. To add to this some more, charcoal also burns well until it becomes ash, so it means that said person can still love, but if burnt again it’s all over.
I clicked on this out of curiosity and when it started up I was like oh nice it's gonna be set in like 1920s or something the I get hit with "I worked at taco Bell" 😂
same, when i first heard it it was without the beginning part explaining, so i assumed all the stuff he talks about was actually happening and not just a fantasy, and let's just say i did not expect the plot of this musical to be about a bunch of kids dying on a rollercoaster lmao
Ok why is no one talking about the part where Noel says “Oui. Tell Him that, like Him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away!” Like yeeeeeesssss I live for it😍😍😍😍
In that part where the man asks "do u have any final words to the lord you'd like to say" their answer is golden. those are going to be my final words when I die! "Tell him that like him I choose to BURN OUT rather than fade away~" it's beautiful!
I feel like the final minute is just him pleading to live. That if he could do it again he would live a life of sorrow and indulge in the lows of life. That he would rather live a life of sadness and adventure then comfortably and stability. He overall rather burn out then be dead. He’s arguing he should get to live because he never got too.

Ironic how he sings that his fantasy life "is a never ending carnival" when he, in his real life, died at one...
Also it's implied that at the end of the musical they are back on the ride to keep circling around on it, showing how their deaths really are a never ending carnival

Lyrics:
In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell in Uranium City, Saskatchewan
But, in my dreams, I played a different role
I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France
A hooker with a heart of black charcoal
I write poems to burn by firelight
Drink champagne and guzzle gin
Good girls call me "the town bicycle"
Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin
Oh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me
Last prick did that faded quick to black
I have no idea where to find him, officers
But if you do, please mention that I'd like to have returned
The pretty knife
That I stuck ten times in his back
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival
A world of boozy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that fucked-up girl
He said, "I think I am in love with you"
I've heard that lie a million times before
Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy
Take love when you can, when you're a whore
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival
A world of boozy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that fucked-up girl
So now I sell my love for opium
In some rat-infested Chinese dive
At night I burn myself with cigarettes
Just to somehow prove I'm still alive
Eight months later, I catch typhoid flu
Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day
Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me
"My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?"
"Oui. Tell him that, like him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away"
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival
A world of boozy-floozy flashing light
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never ending carnival
A world of boozy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that fucked-up girl
I wanna be that fucked-up (girl)
Broken heart, a flask of gin
Tattooed with a safety pin
Teeth all stained with nicotine
Running nylons, shattered dreams
Super crusty, holy terror
Wild eyes and black mascara
Broken heart, a flask of gin
Tattooed with a safety pin
Teeth all stained with nicotine
Running nylons, shattered dreams
Super crusty, holy terror
Wild eyes and black mascara
If I could have just one dream (ahh)
(If he could have just one dream)
I'd be that fucked-up girl!

Best comment I've ever read in UA-cam
@@juststrangeandcrazyme1338 definitely this is the only reason I still have a smal amount of hope in humanity
OMG THE SPIDER DUDE FROM HAZBIN HOTEL YES
THE SPIDER GUYS NAME ANGEL DUST
the truest thing i have ever read
"Like him, I choose to burn out! Rather than fade away..."
I LOVE THE DELIVERY OF THIS LINE OMG
Every time it gets to the part about Claude the pimp I think about my friend Claude who's actually the one who got me into Ride the Cyclone in the first place
Does he know not to mess with you?
@@yourlocaldemon2195 because of the last prick who did that?
@@rat_queen7431 didnt he quickly fade to black ?
Does he still have the pretty knife that you stuck ten times in his back?
i was at this part of the song EXACTLY as a saw it
THE HIGH PITCHED PART TOWARDS THE END SCRATCHES MY BRAIN SO HARD
IT SCRATCHES YOUR BRAIN EXCUSE ME?
@@dhllyyquit I think it triggers ASMR lol
@@dhllyyquitMETAPHORICALLY LOL
Is it crazy that when j fist watched the musical and i saw the scene for this movie... I was so mesmerized by him. Also... He SLAYED in those heels
This voice sounds just right to my ears. The way the "ah" sounds are pronounced and the "i" sounds, like song and dawn, and alive, etc. So satisfying.
Same
rip Noel you would have loved the very musical you are from.
gamzee pfp
GAMZEE???
no wait he would-😭💀
my college is doing ride the cyclone rn, and this song was SO fun to do during callbacks. didn’t end up getting the role, but still a 10/10 experience, would recommend
As a trans guy and a maladaptive daydreamer, I relate to this song sooo much.
We are the Same person
we are the same three people
WE ARE THE SAME FOUR PEOPLE
Spiderman pointing meme
SAMME!!
I kind of interpret that this song is about how he dreamed of being the center of attention in the sense of being desired, even (what he feels) is the most negative way possible. He said the line about how he’s the only gay kid and I think it’s implied he didn’t really have any friends for that on top of him being eccentric yk?
I think it could also be something like “Tragedy over apathy.” He works a boring job he hates, he doesn’t have people to talk to or spend time with. He is alone. Pain, emotional or physical, become more appealing than nothing at all. eg. using the pain of cigarette burns to prove he’s still alive, “I’d rather burn out than fade away.” go out painfully than submit to an apathetic void. I think tragedy over apathy also supports wanting to be paid attention to, for people to interact with him, even if in a negative way, just for some sort of human interaction, for his pain to feel real.
I personally thinks it touches on many things that adds a lot of depth to his character. I have heard theories about this song is also about Noel's internalised homophobia that he experienced along with the majority of things you guys mentioned and, honestly, I agree with that theory, which sort of states that he feels as though he feels he would only experience the kind of love he longed for if he were in the place of a woman as even a 'fucked up girl' is more desired than he is to another man as we've seen in many of the movies Noel seems to adore.
I do believe that the complex nature of Noel's character is really overlooked by the fandom in all honesty as this song has so many layers and can be interpreted in so many ways that it doesn't just have one meaning to it, which is something I think this show does so well. The songs are as well structured and well rounded as though they were their own character and I don't think I've heard a musical that has ever successfully done that like 'Ride The Cyclone.'
yesterday i accidentally listened to a clean version of this song and "last *jerk* did that faded quick to black" scared the shit out of me
Noel jumpscare
😂
The various references in this song make me laugh every time because this song is so good and NOEL PLEASE
I love that the most replayed part of the song is the end - we’re all collectively in awe of this absolute banger lmaoooo
I listened to this using some half-broken earphones and I could only hear the instruments well and the person who was singing sounded like they were in a cave it was such a fucking cool experience I am actually glad
Convulsing on the ground, screaming and foaming at the mouth over how good this song is
rip noel gruber, you would’ve loved mean girls
obsessed with how chaotic the ending is, it feels like a villain song and I love it 💀
yknow what? noel was onto something. i also would love to be that fucked up girl.
REAL
4:00 don't mind me, just listening the best part in repeat
Thank you very much
World dont revolve around you GIRL YOURE NOT THE ONLY ONE-

THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING OMFGGG KHOLBY’S VOICE IS PERFECT THE SONG IS PERFECT I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Ugh this musical is still so underrated, I adore it
I know absolutely nothing about this musical and this is the only song that I have heard from it, but I want to inject this song straight into my veins and go ham
You should watch a stage recording of The Ballad of Jane Doe, that one is WILD
that falsetto at the end always goes hard
RIP noel he would have loved heartstopper
I FELL OFF MY CHAIR 💀💀💀
THE BOOK???
He would hate it so badly😭
I love it, I watched the performance at Arena Stage Theatre and at 2:47 (in this song specifically) it looks like it ends, and everyone started to clap- the acTOR THO LEGIT DID A " ☝🤨 Wait wait we're not done yet hold on there's more ✋🤨" It was never said, but the expression and hand signals said everything he needed to convey.
Lmao I saw the McCarter version and dude does the same thing 💀
This is the song. This is MY song.
Dude this song, especially the fucked up girl part, scratches my brain in a way that it’s never been scratched before
No I didn’t just do a 5 minute dance routine in my kitchen to this, you did 💀
...W-We both did..-
We all did 😚👉👈
Trying not to pole dance on the subway rn
Man we all did💀 dont be embarrassed
I was literally choreographing in my head while reading this, so I guess yes, yes I did

@@skysflipbooks8400fr
Fairly certain people made anomation memes with it since its really good
somebody said noel would've loved will wood and now i can't stop expecting him to say "POPS PLACEBOS FOR LIBIDOS SCREAMING BLESS THE TORPEDOS" over the "SUPER CRUSTY HOLY TERROR WILD EYES BLACK MARCARA" part instead of his vocal riff
RIP Noel, he would've loved "Rupaul's Drag Race"
RIP Noel you would've loved Heathers the musical
REAL
He would EAT candy store up tbh
RIP Noel. He would’ve loved The Main Character
Rip noel you wouldve loved the cell block tango
R.I.P Noel, you would’ve loved Chicago 💔
The fact it said specifically _CHARCOAL_ rather than coal is most likely a detail put there on purpose. Charcoal is the result of burning wood. Coal is natural. If it said coal, it would mean a naturally emotionless/hard shelled person that burns brightly when hit with fire. Charcoal would mean someone who was open and social and most likely got their heart broken or ‘burned’ and made it charcoal.
To add to this some more, charcoal also burns well until it becomes ash, so it means that said person can still love, but if burnt again it’s all over.
it’s probably because they needed the extra syllable
YES HIT THOSE NOTES
Rip Noel, he would have loved drag races
💀💀💀💀
Rip Noel, you would have loved Noel's lament...
3:12
My favorite sequence and progression of this amazing song
He's so real for this one
Rip Noel you would have hated dance moms
I love this musical 😍 this song has been on my mind for years, so happy I can finally listen to it again!
I clicked on this out of curiosity and when it started up I was like oh nice it's gonna be set in like 1920s or something the I get hit with "I worked at taco Bell" 😂
did u still enjoy this song tho
same, when i first heard it it was without the beginning part explaining, so i assumed all the stuff he talks about was actually happening and not just a fantasy, and let's just say i did not expect the plot of this musical to be about a bunch of kids dying on a rollercoaster lmao
Ever fall in love with a song after listening to it once, then listen to the lyrics on the second time?
Ok why is no one talking about the part where Noel says “Oui. Tell Him that, like Him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away!” Like yeeeeeesssss I live for it😍😍😍😍
Rip Noel, he would have loved Heathers
In that part where the man asks "do u have any final words to the lord you'd like to say" their answer is golden. those are going to be my final words when I die!
"Tell him that like him I choose to BURN OUT rather than fade away~"
it's beautiful!
i want to sound like him so bad
It screams angel dust
the music you listen to when the homies aint around
RIP Noel, you would have loved men
if only gays were real 😢
😭😭
he literally makes out with a man sloppy style in this song.
@@mangocannibal9099 He died before that happened. Sad! Well there’s other French hookers
@@mangocannibal9099 That’s the point!! They were simply being sarcastic, the character is openly gay :)
Noel would be a wattpad fanfic ngl🤩
You know when you *know* certain songs just taste good? This is one of them
I feel like the final minute is just him pleading to live.
That if he could do it again he would live a life of sorrow and indulge in the lows of life. That he would rather live a life of sadness and adventure then comfortably and stability. He overall rather burn out then be dead.
He’s arguing he should get to live because he never got too.
