AGNES

HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING by Glass Animals is 7 YEARS OLD TODAY.

A tribute I made last year for “Agnes,” the final song on the record, and a song that saved my life.

#might post my collages i made in 2021 too idk #sorry i wish i had something this year but summer classes beat my ass 😭 #and also this album is so conceptually rich that it's practically overwhelming #if that makes sense #anyways idk how i'll top this it's probably the best thing i've made and i love it dearly #i got a tattoo for the song. it means the world to me. #how to be a human being #glass animals #my art

YOU CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC!!! NOBODY CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC!!!

#i wish apple music would show most listened albums of the year over the years cuz this soundtrack was in my top 5 in 2021

[smallboyonherbike]

when you put in the work and get an album to be your entire top 17 after 11 days lmaoooo

#maneskin #obviously it's gonna change by end of year but i imagine a lot of the top 10 will still be these tracks #megamazing #it's just satisfying to see a whole album unbroken in the top yknow #that was teatro d'ira in 2020 and poster girl in 2021 for awhile

Personally I think You Problem is a lot better than Butter but it’s probably because MX vocals always impress me no matter the song. Also The Dreaming was the first album I bought from MX so that probably makes a difference too 💕

As a newer fan, I was wondering what some of your favorite songs are! I have quite a few albums now but I haven’t listened to every single song yet 😔 Anyways thanks for all your commentary you are one of my MX blogs that I follow ☺️

OH NO SLIFJLSIJFD i did not mean they were on the same level of bad, oh god... okay let me use a different metaphor. these two songs are like if u had a really shitty fabric and gave some to me (who has never sewn in her life) and some to... Donatella Versace. we'd both make a dress out of a shitty fabric and they won't be great dresses but one would still be significantly better than other lsijflsidj Honestly, I get being biased towards the first album of a group u stan. its the album that got u into them, its totally understandable and I am guilty of it too but I think for a lot of older fans (and I don't even consider myself an older fan, I only started to stan full time with Fatal Love) don't have that fond of an opinion/memory abt The Dreaming album as a whole. as an Era. because it was an English release and completely managed by the English team and we all know who's in charge of that team. it was a messy time, and the songs themselves aside, the quality of the album wasn't great. iirc it was hella expensive, and the cover design... someone literally found it to be a premade thing on some website. and don't even get me started on the promotions... I'm having war flashbacks.

oh hmmmmmm... im assuming u mean pre-2021? I'd say some of my favorite (slightly) older mx songs excluding title sons and in no particular order: Myself, Mohae, Turbulance, Rodeo, Deja Vu, Calm Down, 5:14, Rollercoaster, Destroyer, If Only, Because of you, Lost in the Dream, the entire Phenomenon and Fatal LoveAlbum, UR, Monsta truck, Misbehave.

#omg the last part of ur ask cracked me up so much osildjflsidjf #i think u meant to save 'one of my fave* MX blogs I follow' ksjdfsdfj it reads so funny without that one world #say* #'u are a blog i follow' lsidjflsdjflisd LITERALLY WHEEZING #anyway yeah those are my fave songs pre 2021 but I had to go thru my playlists to remember some #if i were to tell u my FAVE fave songs that I can recall off the top of my head it would UR. if only. guess who #sorry im not sorry. livin it up. #and for the more recent albums: Autobahn. Mercy. wildfire. burning up. #i actually really like kiss or death and if with you too! #hope it helps! #i know it can be overwhelming trying to go through a new group's discography and its totally okay not go through it ALL. #but i always find listening to them while ur busy doing something is so much easier than listening to them with the purpose of listening #like when ur cleaning or doing something manual #ur fave songs will stick with u and u can always go back and find them sijdsdj #ask #anon

ok i’m late with this but the funniest thing about spotify wrapped is when your top song of the year is by an artist you don’t listen to

#only phoebe bridgers song i like is georgia. only white lies song i’ve HEARD is unfinished buisnsss #and take a WILD guess what my top songs for 2021 and 2022 respectively were! #it’s esp funny bc the years before that it was all artists i listed to a lot at the time #like 2019’s was monster town by go child and like i think almost all of that album was on the top 100 so like yeah it makes sense #but this is just. like ok! #and i know exactly why too— #georgia and unfinished business are each on a ship playlist for my oc luz (separate ones bc love a girl in a love triangle) #and both of them are on a playlist for my oc cas and Don’t Worry About It #so. just laying all my cards on the table there #starspeak #uh to clarify i don’t Dislike pb it’s just the rest of her music doesn’t appeal to me #i don’t know what she put in georgia that made that different but god DAMN #different strokes for different folks except this once specific song ykno #edit from feb i have now heard two white lies songs (other is to lose my life) and they both slap !

happy spotify wrapped day!! i didn’t get the “my audio day” slide and i’m sad because i feel like this is the first time i’ve missed out on a slide that isn’t podcasts :-(

i can’t believe i got top 0.5% of listeners with my numbers...everyone listen to lexie liu her new singles are really good

#incomplete stats bc i split with apple music again #unlike last year i have it active rn so i can actually see my replay lmao i have 8517 minutes on apple music #but i think something is messed up with it or at least with the album count section #but i think i read apple doesn't count jan. in their replay? for some reason? and jan. was an apple music month for me #i thought verivery would sweep my wrapped and be the first time my top song would be from my top artist #but im still happy to see lexie liu for the second year!! she's underrated i cant believe her listener count dropped #bc i had slightly more minutes last year but was only top 2%...maybe bc gone gold dropped in jan. 2021 #but 2022 she didn't release new music until late nov. so people stopped streaming #lexie liu being top artist continues my streak of my number one artist not having a single song in top 5 asjfhsdf #the first song from her is actually number 14 in the playlist which is actually really low omg #lowkey think my wrapped is messed up but i dont use wrapped for stats just for vibes and the fun stuff like MY AUDIO DAY THAT I DONT HAVE #but i love the design this year i like the bright colors and shapes #it's the design they've been doing all year if you've gotten any push notifs or other random things like super grouper or w/e it was #it's cute and obvs in trend right now lmao but u know it's still cute i like it i love bright colors

The Weeknd - Blinding Lights 2019

"Blinding Lights" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, from his fourth studio album, After Hours. The song was released as the album's second single. The Weeknd wrote the song with Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Belly, and DaHeala; the former three producing the song. It is a synth-pop, new wave, synthwave, and electropop track, which lyrically addresses the importance of a partner, and the desire to see someone at night.

"Blinding Lights" was praised by music journalists upon release, many noting its callback to the music of the 1980s, and its aesthetic. The song was a commercial success, topping the record charts in over 40 countries, including his native Canada, making it his most successful single to date. In the US, "Blinding Lights" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four non-consecutive weeks, becoming his fifth number one in the country, and became the song with the most weeks spent in the top five and top ten, becoming the first song to hold a spot in the top ten for an entire year. It became the chart's longest-charting song for a short period of time, remaining on it for a total of 90 weeks, and was named as the chart's best-performing song of all time on November 23, 2021. It was also the best-selling global single of 2020, and became Spotify's most streamed song, and the first song to surpass 4 billion streams.

From its scale-laddering verses to its tension-filled chorus, the song exhibits the polish and "melodic math" for which Max Martin is renowned, according to Chris Molanphy from Slate. The Dorian structure provides a dreamy and euphoric nature to the song while still ultimately resolving to a minor chord. "Blinding Lights" also became Max Martin's 23rd Hot 100 number one single as a writer and 21st as producer.

"Blinding Lights" received a total of 87,8% yes votes!

#added early adopter because it’s really funny considering my top two artists are very basic #and Halsey and wolf Alice are there because I was incredibly late to their 2021 albums #spotify wrapped #djo is there because I got into edibles this year and tame impala is Tainted #also also I do a thing where if I wanna listen to a random song I will listen on YouTube but if i wanna properly listen to an album/playlis #then it’s spotify #that app just isn’t fast enough
