Stop the clock
Take time out
Time to regroup
Before you lose the bout

Freeze the frame
Back it up
Time to refocus
Before they wrap it up

Years are getting shorter
Lines on your face are getting longer
Feel like you're treading water
But the riptide's getting stronger

Don't panic, don't jump ship
Can't fight it, like taxes
At least it happens only once in your life

They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
You just want to lay down and cry
Not just another birthday
It's 30/90

Why can't you stay twenty-nine?
Hell, you still feel like you're twenty-two
Turn thirty, 1990
Bang, you're dead, what can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?

Clear the runway
Make another pass
Try one more approach
Before you're out of gas

Friends are getting fatter
Hairs on your head are getting thinner
Feel like a clean-up batter
On a team that ain't a winner

Don't freak out, don't strike out
Can't fight it, like City Hall
At least you're not alone
Your friends are there, too

They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
You just wish you could run away
Who cares about a birthday?
But 30/90, hey

Can you be optimistic?
You're no longer the ingenue
Turn thirty, 1990
Boom, you're passé, what can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell
Which way to Never Never Land?
Emerald City's gone to hell
Since the wizard blew off his command

On the streets you hear the voices
Lost children, crocodiles
You're not into making choices, wicked witches
Poppy fields or men behind the curtain
Tiger lilies, ruby slippers
Clock is ticking, that's for certain

And they're singing, "Happy Birthday" (happy birthday)
I just wish it all were a dream
It feels much more like Doomsday
Fuck 30/90

Seems like I'm in for a twister
I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn thirty in the '90s
Into my hands now the ball is passed
I want the spoils, but not too fast
The world is calling, it's now or Neverland
Why can't I stay a child forever, and

30/90, 30/90 (30/90)
30/90, 30/90 (30/90)
30/90, 30, 30/90 (what)
What can I do?
30/90, 30, 30/90
What can I do?

Stop the clock - take time out
Pare o relógio - tire um tempo

Time to regroup before you lose the bout
É hora de se reagrupar antes de perder a luta

Freeze the frame - back it up
Congele o quadro - faça backup

Time to refocus before they wrap it up
É hora de se concentrar novamente antes de encerrar

Years are getting shorter
Os anos estão ficando mais curtos

Lines on your face are getting longer
As rugas em seu rosto estão ficando mais longas

Feel like you're treading water
Sinta-se como se estivesse pisando na água

But the riptide's getting stronger
Mas a correnteza está ficando mais forte

Don't panic, don't jump ship
Não entre em pânico, não saia do navio

Can't fight it, like taxes
Não posso lutar contra isso, como impostos

At least it happens only once in your life
Pelo menos isso acontece apenas uma vez na sua vida

They're singing, happy birthday
Eles estão cantando feliz aniversário

You just wanna lay down and cry
Você só quer deitar e chorar

Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Não é apenas mais um aniversário, é 30/90

Why can't you stay 29
Por que você não pode ficar 29?

Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Inferno, você ainda se sente como se tivesse 22

Turn thirty 1990
Completar trinta anos de 1990

Bang! You're dead
Bang! Você está morto

What can you do?
O que você pode fazer?

What can you do?
O que você pode fazer?

What can you do?

It’s a crime that Andrew didn’t win that Oscar

@Antoni Zajkowski I wasn't trying to start an argument I'm just trying to see where you're at. How you responded to my first comment made me believe that you misunderstood what I was saying. But it still wouldn't make sense to respond to my comment on saying that Will Smith is a good actor with I know right he isn't even a good actor.

Antoni Zajkowski

@allidoisdreamaboutcats It does. You're trying to start a fight for no reason.
-He won that Oscar because of his experience as an actor
-I know, in my opinion he didn't deserve it

I know. Same here. I don’t know him personally, I don’t hang out with him and so on, but just being a fan of his movies and especially Spider-Man and seeing his career as a whole, it’s kinda interesting isn’t it how you can feel so good, wholesome and proud for another person you’ve never met in person. He really does seem like a great dude. Super genuine and hard working. It honestly sounds like he has been singing in a band for most of his life too. He has a shockingly good voice for an actor who had never sang before. Singing is also a very interesting thing that reveals a persons soul to see which is usually hidden away on the inside but singing brings that out. It’s cool he has shared that with everyone by doing this film and soundtrack.

I listen to this just to hear Andrew Garfield hit that E when singing "90" because he hits it so in-tune and so clearly.

A lot of professional singers couldn't hit a note like that with such clarity. It's more common to hit it flat at first, then go up to reach the note. Andrew Garfield is in a league of his own.

Keith McClure

There's also the sustained A4 at the end. Even in falsetto that would be impressive, but the guy full voiced the whole note!

Note, the exclamation point was because I was impressed, not angry.

And then there's 3:30, which actually isn't an E, but an F#, which is a bit higher (and therefore more impressive in my opinion)

@alec bormia I was just joking and referencing the train wreck that was known as "Spider-man: Turn off the Dark". It was a broadway musical that just didn't have anything go right. I think they went through several actors for Spider-Man because the wires and such keeping them up in the air kept malfunctioning, and people kept getting hurt.

Even when it did get off the ground, it didn't do so well, and was closed very soon after.

I mean I don’t think having a musical version of spider man is not the way to go but I would be cool to see them play together in a scene or something like that if you can make it feel generic in the plot. I mean spider Gwen is part of her own band with MJ 👀

i just want to hear him do this live, even if it’s only once. but sadly it’ll probably never happen, because it’s not an original composition so it won’t be up for any awards and there won’t be any performances.

If Andrew decided to release an album or an EP off the strength off his musical merits in this movie alone I'd totally support it

I was really impressed with this movie and Andrew Garfield singing, playing and acting. Usually I am not into the really poppy new musicals, but this was really good and the music was really good. Makes me think of late 90's early 2000's style of small band rock which was all my jam back then. And I listen to this song and it takes me back and then I think to myself ... holy shit this is Andrew Garfield, that dude can really sing. He could totally pull off playing and singing in a band if that was something he ever wanted to do, and do really well at it.

Well... you are not that mistaken in the appreciation: while the film is of this year (with some revisions, perhaps), the original material was originally performed as monologue/workshop during September of 1990 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0nRmpUAUKI ), it was reshaped in its final musical form in 1996. Although some additions were made (entire song sections and songs by Jonatha Larson, but not related to the original presentation), the general feeling and orchestration was not changed very much.

Oh, he has a lot of credits. I personally discovered him in Doctor Who. He was in two episodes and was a stand out, I immediately had to google him. Then I learned he was cast as Spider-Man and was very happy for him.
But he was also great in Social Network and they say that in Hacksaw Ridge too.

That long high note at 4:04 was beautiful 😱😍❤

Mike Dasik

@Roshni Gupta When the musical films are shot, all songs are mostly pre-recorded to make the sound consistent and to also save time... So I think he could do it live. The only problem is remembering the lyrics more than a year after. :)

Roshni Gupta

@ProxiMac_Tecsonity04 yes, though I would love to hear if he can do it live (I think I saw him say that this song was pre recorded). Even if he can't, this is still pretty impressive that he can hit notes like this at all.

ProxiMac_Tecsonity04

1y↑8

@Roshni Gupta Oh yeah! He has powerful execution. He’s too good for a beginner. He already developed a stable chest voice and good projection and dictation. He can easily hit those notes because of the right execution because when hitting it with head voice you can strain but it will be smoother and cleaner when done by chest voice. I hope he release more songs in the future as a singer

Roshni Gupta

@ProxiMac_Tecsonity04 and in full chest voice too

This song is beautiful, amazing, brilliant expression of my fears cause I'll turn 30 this September. Maybe that's why Jonathan Larson recently became my hero and I can't stop listening to this song!
Also, huge congrats for Andrew Garfield for winning the Golden Globe for his incredible performance! Looking forward for Oscar's!

Andrew has been asked by the Academy to perform at the Oscars and he said yes I believe. None of the songs are nominated because they're not originals. So the fact that they asked him to sing anyway is so awesome!! Congrats on the nomination Andrew. 👏

Totally not related to the lyrics but turned 18 this year and they hit too hard... Coming of age in a global pandemic definitely gives me fuel for angst. I had 2 friends with me when I went out because more isnt allowed... I'm an adult yet I don't have any of the freedoms I thought 18 would bring when I was a kid and it hurts. Got it's perks ofc but it's just hard to cope with knowing the world used to be a lot freer and you could have had all of it a few years back.
