okay very preliminary thoughts on mitski's new album BUT i think there's something with how "laurel hell" felt like a goodbye to the music industry (can't find the source but i remember reading that it was intended to be her last album under her contract) like i'm sorry anthony fantano but if you interpret the back half of "laurel hell" as being generic breakup songs you're missing like 80% of the context. to me TO ME it feels so clearly about her negotiating her relationship with fame, how she can't love her fans the way they love her, and how she feels like she sold her soul to her job, so the only thing to do is step away. but THEN "the land is inhospitable and so are we" was created after mitski decided to renegotiate her contract, specifically because she loved making music enough to deal with the negative aspects of the work. and then all the songs are about the ghost of love she can leave behind, despite the present pain or emptiness, and like. do you see it. do you see it.

#THE NARRATIVE. #beepbeep.txt #mitski #like you can definitely interpret everything through the lens of personal romantic relationships BUT. i think its even better #envisioning that she is speaking to her actual audience. the love they have for her and the love she is trying to communicate to them #i mean especially “i don't like my mind” just feels like a response to “love me more” where she begs to keep her job #specifically so she doesn't have to be alone with all these thoughts. so she can be witnessed #but then i feel like “the deal” and “when memories snow” are responses to “working for the knife” and “everyone” where her job leaves her #feeling emptied out of all this pain and love simultaneously. hence the ghostliness of the whole album #and her coming to terms with this feeling of emptiness. or actually. the loneliness of having no witnesses at all. after the music. #being king of her own land. if one would like to use that turn of phrase #IS ANYONE ELSE GOING INSANE OR.

The ‘Submarine’ soundtrack gives me the amount of comfort as a fuzzy blanket and warm bowl of soup.

#another perfect fall album tbh #I’m sitting on a bench in a park and it’s sunny and the leaves are still falling and the wind is rustling through the trees #life feels so heavy but this album is giving me all the comfort and catharsis I need right now #alex turner #the submarine soundtrack #personal

#my godddd 😮‍💨❤️‍🩹 #life is so beautiful you guysss #bless Sufjan's fucking precious mind😮‍💨🩷!! #everything written‚ produced and recorded by him + all the artwork and essays also by him!! he's everything!! ❤️‍🩹 #the entire album sounds both familiar and new (like Goodbye Evergreen is literally how The Age of Adz goes from Futile Devices to Too Much! #sounds very atmospheric and melancholic and bittersweet but also dreamy and euphoric. and very gentle #and there's a sense of urgency and helplessness but the album ends in a very hopeful note which is so beautiful!! #lyrically is so impressive and breathtaking. man the way he feels everything so deeply 🫨❤️‍🩹 #stunning compositions + so much heartbreak and existential despair and unsettling imagery and self-sacrifice #and distress and personal atonement and resignation and so much HOPE and LIFE and LIGHT #and also religious devotion (shocker i know lol) #and the Neil Young cover (shoot me!) is better than the original lol it's just so sweet and hopeful 💐 #i really loved it so much!! #sufjan stevens #javelin

Three years ago, I listened to an album not knowing that it would alter the very chemistry of my brain. It sounds absurd, I know, but that doesn't make it any less true. Happy Anniversary to the absolute triumph, the crowning achievement, the magnum opus that is The Horror and the Wild. Here's a little look back at some of the embroideries I've made inspired by it ✨️

#My life is so much richer for having listened to this album #I don't think I will ever be able to fully describe how much it has changed me as a person #Or how much it means to me #and sometimes I feel crazy for feeling as strongly as I feel for it #but it makes me so happy and that's what's important #enough of my rambling #happy anniversary dear hearts #the amazing devil #tad #the horror and the wild

dear everyone,

a while ago, i hit 1.5k followers on this blog.... i didn't want to get too sappy but i really wanted to write something, so:

the fact that over one and a half thousand individuals follow me is truly insane and too much for my little brain to grasp. i want you to know that i'm so extremely thankful for each and every single one of you and this makes me so so so happy. this is way more than i ever had expected when creating this blog.

i made this account back in june purely for my own enjoyment; i created it mainly because i was disappointed in myself for having stopped writing, since writing has been such a big part of my life since forever. ever since i stopped writing about kpop, i had barely written anything at all... i made this account just for fun with no pressure and no expectations, and before i knew it, this blog turned into something so special for me. the blog, all of the people i've met through it and all of the moments we've shared, all mean the world to me.

honestly, i'm not sure what i would do right now if i didn't have this blog and this community. these last few months have been pretty rough for me, but i've always been able to come back on here and gain a smile or some laughter. you've all helped me so much, even if unintentionally – every single interaction helps me push forward. i'm eternally grateful for every single like, comment, reblog and ask i've received on here, and your kind words really do mean the world to me. i don't know where i would be without you.

i hit 1k a while ago but didn't celebrate it properly, so i decided to make an 1k/1.5k-celly that i will be releasing soon (when i have more time to actually write)(hopefully at the start of december). please stay tuned!

and once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so so so much. you truly are the best. 🧡🧡

#i never got near this much support on my old blogs (or wattpad accounts for that matter) #my most liked fic on my kpop blog had a little over 300 likes #and now my most liked fic here has over 3k notes #its all so insane to me #i'm so incredibly thankful for this community #i truly do not know how i would've stayed sane if i didnt have you all and this all #the support and sweet words i've been receiving is so so kind and i'm so so thankful #i read through every reblog & comment & ask i get and they make always me feel so warm #i get so giggly and kick my feet even at someone writing like “this was alright” in the tags of a reblog #i have a photo album saved for my fave tags & comments for when i feel down :((( gives me so much happiness #i love every person who's ever even shot a glance at my blog #hope everyone has a wonderful day 🤍🤍 #thank you again!!!! from the bottom of my heart

i’m gonna be so real with yall that was a really hard album to listen to and not like in a bad way it just, it’s so raw and human and beautiful and ultimately devastating. there was so much love and trying and in the end it wasn’t enough, but that love is never lost and it can’t be defined from one place, the torture it causes can’t be defined, it’s a letter filled with loss. and it’s just yeah it’s hard to listen to.

#and the underlying message too it’s just yeah it’s just #and it’ll make me sick to my stomach to see jokes about this album which is so silly but like #it’s so beautiful and haunting and probably objectively her best but it feels like #not her diary but a painting you keep hidden because of how personal it is #anywya i’m done now #eris: listening #music: taylor swift #lb: ttpd

I wish I liked Wish :/

#I watched Tangled after and realized all the ways I prefer it over Wish #Wish was just soooo fast paced I felt like I was watching a movie on 1.25x speed. no time for anything to breath. #like Maximus in Tangled was Joke-After-Joke-After-Joke #*BUT* then rapunzel and flynn had slow character-building discussions to balance the horse that didn't need jokes inserted #AND Maximus didn't speak-- so the jokes feel more clever. I laughed out loud at him hiding behind a horse-shaped rock #and idk what it is about Alan Menken's music but he is just unbeatable to me #Wish's music was so ''non-musical theater'' genre that I felt like I was listening to a real music group's/band's album #and I don't mean that in a good way... #and I know it's hard for disney to take chances on new art styles but I still feel like Wish's water-color look could have been stronger #for some reason I felt the movie didn't have good composition??? like the lighting often looked flat #I am also fucking SIICK of the last 4 disney princesses having all the same ''yikes oop srry I'm awkward!!'' personality besides Moana iirc #ENOUGH!!!

idk idk idk I just don’t get why some fans took this album as a personal attack!! Even in the songs where she alludes to people judging her in general I really took it as “wow she must trust us so much to share this with us.” And if you took it personally then you either need to take a step back or maybe you should actually take it personally and maybe realize why your invasion into Taylor’s personal relationships can actually cause harm to her.

#like trust me I didn’t like her matty but I went about my day normally and didn’t bitch and complain about him all day #yeah matty sucks as a person but I was worried about Taylor I wasn’t mad that she was in a relationship I could no longer project onto #anymore #autumn rambles #i definitely did have an ‘oh shit this play is about us’ moment when I heard that one song (I can’t remember the title) but then i #followed up that thought with she’s allowed to say what she thinks and feels the same way I was allowed to express what I thought #so it’s only fair that she would share and mention that on the album when it was clear that people’s disdain for them together actually #pushed them closer rather than further apart like she said on the album

The new Kesha album Gag Order ABSOLUTELY FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been listening to it on repeat the last several days. It's intense and heartbreaking and chaotic and disturbing and wistful and motivating. Listen to it when you have emotional space for it, but definitely listen to it.

#personal #kesha #gag order #gag order album #edit: it sounds like what it feels like to have a trauma breakdown #like a long one over a series of months and years. she got it perfect. i hope this album was healing and cathartic for her. #it's so important to be able to express the 'ugly' emotions #her anger is justified. she gets to be angry about all the shit that's happened. and she gets to talk about it. it's so so so fucking hard #nothing happened with my rape case. i never heard back about any of it (except the university telling me they dropped my case). #i can't imagine going to court with people pointing cameras in your face and then having your case dismissed AND have your rapist file a... #...defamation suit. and the years that that bullshit has been going on. fucking hell. it's so hard. i feel for her and i hope she has... #...all the support she needs to get through it. she deserves all the love and care in the world. holding powerful people accountable for... #...their actions is so fucking difficult.

i just came across ai covers on youtube and people are requesting songs in the comments instead of getting enraged and i am further losing hope in humanity and turning to misanthropy

#meins #for a minute i got really excited about henning may singing take me to church :( #i hate people #have you no appreciation for or understanding of art? clearly not. #why would you want to listen to an ai generated song? even if it sounds like your favourite singer it's not them #it has no feelings to meaning to intention. it is empty and soulless #reading the booklet for sinéad o'connor's album of traditional irish and folk songs gave me so much appreciation for her #she wrote a little bit about each song. why she chose it or what it means to her. #it has added so much to my enjoyment of those songs and i think of it whenver i listen to it #they were chosen with intention with love with a deep appreciation for the music and lyrics and there is a story behind it all #it is art and love and human #i see aboslutely no appeal in ai generated 'music' or 'art' #and i hate that i fell for it for a minute #i was sceptical because i had never heard of henning may covering hozier and since it wasn't just 20-60 sec i am certain #i would have heard about it by now #and something was just a little bit... unsatisfying? something was missing which does apply to a lot of cover songs #(i could go on hour long rants about why people fuck up danny boy (and sinéad o'connor does it best (because she actually takes her time) #or trash madonna's version of don't cry for me argentina (again a song ruined for by everybody else but sinéad - once she has sung somethin #i have a hard time enjoying it by anybody else. the parting glass is an exception. hozier's version is phenomenal)) #but! henning may not giving it his all for a cover? unlikely. very unlikely. #anyway this concludes my tuesday night rant. rather here in the tags than some poor person's inbox. #or i would have kept fuming by myself for another hour or two

okay but AJR'S new song "Yes I'm A Mess" is one of their coolest concepts to date cause like, AJR has been hyping up the chorus for a long while now and from the frequently tiktoked verses "I could hate my guts when the sun comes up but I like myself like this" and the overall tune of the chorus, the most common impression on the song is that it's a song about the brothers "blowing up their lives" through partying and all that because they "like themselves like this". Basically it's your "wooo let's fucking party song" but in the perspective of them using it as a means of escape in a way. This impression is confirmed with the release of the full song whose lyrics include them wanting to quit their jobs and start over ("I'm in it now, I'm in it now, could I start again somehow?)

And of course, the theme of wanting to escae start over and becoming what you like yourself to be even if you make yourself into a mess is something quite relatable especially for young adults right? So that concept is good in it of itself but what makes this song so much fucking different IS HOW AJR FLIPS IT BY THE BRIDGE. By the time Jack sings "I could hate my guts when the sun comes up but I guess that's what this is. I like myself like this", there is a layer of acknowledged resignation that them blowing up their lives and escaping in the interest of starting over and "liking themselves" is something that's not that all good AND THAT POINT IS ESTABLISHED WITH HOW THE SONG ENDS - WITH THE OUTRO BEING ALL SLOWED DOWN AND REVERBED AS IF THE PARTY IS STOPPING AND YOU'RE COMING DOWN FROM YOUR EUPHORIC PARTY HIGHS.

This part especially took a lot of people off guard because they simply weren't expecting this shift of tempo to happen in a song marketed as a partying fun song and holy shit that's the whole point! The constant escape for a new and clean slate through indulging yourself into becoming someone you like to the point of self sabotage won't ever end up well - cause sooner or later, the tempo will turn slow, verses will be slurred, and the fun beat and whistles will stop. And for a band who prides upon having their songs be fun to dance to while being relatable in its woes of having to grow up and wanting to escape that, holy fuck is that an amazing point to make.

#look i'll be fucking honest i wish ajr was a bit more descriptive when it came to their lyricism #because i like how they play around with lyrics and additional context through lyrics is always nice for me #but i applaud their new direction nonetheless because right now ajr is playing around with concept execution #and yes i'm a mess just basically 110% confirmed that for me #i had a feeling that their newest album was gonna head to this direction given how vastly different the prod is #and the singles they've released so far seemed a lot more personal too #so yea if the rest of the album continues this pattern of being this conceptually smart #then my all time favorite album Neotheater might have a strong contender #cause like damn yes i'm a mess may not boast of smart wordplay and the like but goddamn does it carry a unique concept #and how the concept is executed is well done too especially that break down at the end aaa #anyways stream yes i'm a mess by ajr and all their other songs woo #ajr #yes i'm a mess #the maybe man
