She Might Have A Limp? Or She Might Have Ache, Or Polio Or Something?

Thinking about how the lyric “Learning love is not a crime” from Falsettoland/It’s About Time has a double meaning.

It means Marvin accepting his sexuality: learning that the way he loves men is not wrong within itself. That’s something he struggled with for the whole trilogy up until this point.

I also think it means that learning how to love isn’t a bad thing either. Marvin is in his 30s or 40s, and he’s only starting to have stable and mostly healthy relationships during Falsettos Act 2. It shows that learning how to love healthily can start at any age.

God I love Marvin’s development.

William Finn's ability to write about human imperfection was so sincere, profound and succinct. It has not and will likely not ever be replicated. I am reminded of such simple lyrics like

'This here is love, when we're talking face to face' or 'God only knows too soon I'll remember your faults, meanwhile though it's tears and schmalz'

He is, to me, the composer that best understood the humanity that lies in making mistakes.
