    Mine told me that due to unresolved trauma I constantly seek out changes to my body to distract myself from my past.   :toofunny:

    Waking Bliss - Flight Facilities

     

    Just came up in my Spotify one day ... I often listen to music like this because it calms me down when I feel really anxious or stressed. The "lyrics" are a sample of Gerald Heard talking about stuff ... so it's easy to just close your eyes, listen, and get a bit lost in it all.

    opera singer - cake

     

    pretty much anything by cake takes me back to when i was about 15 or so and a teacher i had who was more like a friend of mine than an authority figure...this specific song reminds me of a night when i was in the car with her on a crazy busy freeway, where for some reason everyone was driving like an absolute maniac, plus it was raining. i was trying to navigate via google maps and tell her which exits to take while she (who was normally very chill and unruffled) was yelling various profanities at the windshield as she tried to switch lanes without getting hit; all the while, this song is playing on the stereo. it was stressful at the moment but kind of hilarious looking back

    Ooh, oh fuck ok wait. So consensus. At least here anyway, how's everyone's thoughts on HIaDT? I mean, ok ngl, I appreciated it, and love it, but gotten more comfortable w it. Progress? Thru a diff vein, achievement unlocked? News? Anyone getting my consciousness stream drift?

     

    ahhh imma quote my mini rant thing on hope from 300  :toofunny: pages ago bc i feel like that was really my breakthrough moment with the song...like i always liked it (although i acknowledge it definitely has its flaws/valid points of criticism), but that was sort of my epiphany with regards to the purpose it serves...i'll put it in a spoiler so i don't hog the whole page but yeah that was kind of my most recent lightbulb moment with this song

     

     

     

    my $0.02 on the hope is a keyboard smash discourse: i actually really love the somewhat awkward, almost ungainly lines (e.g. ipad, shaking my ass, etc. etc.). they kind of break the 4th wall a bit and feel like an allusion to the whole idea of feeling not entirely comfortable in her image/persona. like yes, she could write another song about eternal love and red lipstick and jewelry and being pretty while she cries and her beautiful man and cars and the color blue and drinking and smoking and living fast and dying young and eating ice cream, with lyrics that look and sound pretty and fit into aesthetic moodboards, but instead she inserts these decidedly unpoetic images into her usual template. the whole thing feels almost abrasive: the lyrics, the almost total lack of production (you want strings? you want beats? you want guitars? here, have a couple piano chords), the aggressively informal cover art, the sentence-length, decapitalized title (no other song in her discography has a title like that). the more i think about it, the more it appears like a concerted effort to smash things up, especially considering it's the last complete song we've gotten from her. it seems almost like a tacit scream of frustration, like someone locked in a room (the persona/sound/style/image she's acquired, for better or for worse) banging on the walls and smashing the glass in the picture frames. like, "maybe i can't unlock the door and leave but i can at least subvert what i'm supposed to do in here and how i'm supposed to behave."

     

    maybe i'm reaching but when you put all the pieces together it just feels really sad and desperate and angry idk even despite the chorus and title

    Members who have stated how they will "unstan" for the 7th time, yet they're still here... 

     

    i definitely can't speak for everyone and i know i'm cherrypicking from the larger point you're trying to make, but with regards to this part specifically...at least half the reason i keep logging onto this site is bc of the people i enjoy talking to, not because there's any significant news or updates (news? updates? what are those?) to actually discuss. i know it's not everyone's cup of tea and i respect that but i really do appreciate having somewhere to commiserate with other people in the same boat
